Neemi 7
1 Lè nou te fin rebati miray la, nou moute gwo batan pòtay yo. Nou bay gad tanp yo, moun k'ap chante yo ak moun Levi yo travay yo gen pou yo fè.
Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
2 Mwen mete de moun reskonsab pou gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm lan. Se te Anani, frè mwen an, ak Ananya, kòmandan gwo fò a. Ananya sa a te yon nonm serye ki te gen krentif pou Bondye. Pa t' gen tankou l'.
I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
3 Mwen di yo pa kite yo louvri pòtay lavil Jerizalèm yo nan maten toutotan solèy la pa konmanse cho. Konsa tou, aswè se devan yo pou yo fè fèmen batan pòtay yo epi pou yo mete ba yo dèyè pòtay yo anvan gad yo leve pòs le solèy pral kouche. Y'a chwazi kèk moun nan moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo, yon seri pou fè pòs sou miray la, yon lòt pou fè patwouy bò lakay yo.
I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
4 Lavil la te gran anpil, te gen anpil espas, men pa t' gen anpil moun ki t'ap viv ladan l'. Yo pa t' ankò rebati anpil kay.
In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.
5 Bondye mete nan tèt mwen lide pou m' sanble tout pèp la ak chèf yo, majistra yo, pou m' fè yon resansman, fanmi pa fanmi. N' al tonbe sou ansyen rejis resansman premye moun ki te tounen nan peyi a. Nan rejis sa a m' te jwenn
My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
6 lis moun ki te kite pwovens Babilòn pou yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida, chak moun nan lavil kote yo te moun. Se moun sa yo wa Nèbikadneza te fè depòte nan peyi Babilòn.
This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
