Esdras 8
1 Alò sila yo se chèf lakay papa zansèt yo, e anrejistreman a sila ki te monte avè m soti Babylone yo nan règn Wa Artaxerxès la:
These are now the chiefe fathers of them, and the genealogie of them that came vp with mee from Babel, in the reigne of King Artahshashte.

15 Alò, mwen te rasanble yo akote rivyè ki kouri rive Ahava a, kote nou te fè kan pandan twa jou. Epi lè mwen te obsève pèp la avèk prèt yo, mwen pa t twouve okenn nan Levit yo la.
And I gathered them to the Riuer that goeth toward Ahaua, and there abode we three dayes: then I viewed the people, and the Priests, and found there none of the sonnes of Leui.
16 Akoz sa, mwen te voye pou chèf yo Éliézer, Ariel, Schemaeja, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zacharie ak Meschullam e pwofesè yo, Jojarib avèk Einathan.
Therefore sent I to Eliezer, to Ariel, to Shemeiah, and to Elnathan, and to Iarib, and to Elnathan, and to Nathan, and to Zechariah, and to Meshullam the chiefe, and to Ioiarib and to Elnathan, men of vnderstanding,
17 Mwen te voye yo kote Iddo, chèf prensipal nan andwa Casiphia a; epi mwen te fè yo konnen kisa pou yo di Iddo avèk frè li yo, sèvitè tanp yo nan andwa Casiphia a, sa vle di pou pote sèvitè yo kote nou pou lakay Bondye pa nou an.
And I gaue them commandement, to Iddo the chiefest at the place of Casiphia, and I told them the words that they should speake to Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims at the place of Casiphia, that they should cause the ministers of the house of our God to come vnto vs.
18 Selon bon men SENYÈ a sou nou, yo te mennen bannou yon nonm ak anpil konprann nan fis a Machli yo, fis a Lévi a, fis Israël la, ki rele Schérébia ak fis li yo avèk frè li yo, di-zuit mesye;
So by the good hande of our God which was vpon vs, they brought vs a man of vnderstanding of the sonnes of Mahali the sonne of Leui the sonne of Israel, and Sherebiah with his sonnes and his brethren, euen eighteene.
19 epi Haschabia e avèk li, Ésaïe nan fis a Merari yo, avèk frè li yo ak fis li yo, ven;
Also Hashabiah, and with him Ieshaiah of the sonnes of Merari, with his brethren, and their sonnes twentie.
20 epi de-san-ven nan sèvitè tanp yo, ke David avèk chèf yo te bay pou sèvis Levit yo, tout moun ki te dezigne pa non yo.
And of the Nethinims, whom Dauid had set, and the Princes for the seruice of the Leuites, two hundreth and twentie of the Nethinims, which all were named by name.
21 Epi mwen te pwoklame yon jèn, akote rivyè Ahava a, pou nou ta kab imilye nou devan Bondye nou an pou chache soti nan Li, yon vwayaj sof pou nou, pitit nou yo ak tout byen nou yo.
And there at the Riuer, by Ahaua, I proclaimed a fast, that we might humble our selues before our God, and seeke of him a right way for vs, and for our children, and for all our substance.
22 Paske mwen te wont mande a wa a, sòlda yo avèk chevalye yo pou pwoteje nou kont lènmi sou chemen an, akoz nou te di a wa a: “Men Bondye nou an byen dispoze sou sila ki chache Li yo, men ak pwisans Li avèk lakòlè Li kont tout sila ki abandone Li yo.”
For I was ashamed to require of the King an armie and horsemen, to helpe vs against the enemie in the way, because we had spoken to the King, saying, The hande of our God is vpon all them that seeke him in goodnesse, but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
23 Konsa, nou te fè jèn nan, e te chache Bondye nou konsa, e Li te koute sa nou te mande a.
So we fasted, aud besought our God for this: and he was intreated of vs.
24 Konsa, mwen te mete akote douz nan prèt prensipal yo, Schébéria, Haschabia ak dis nan frè yo.
Then I separated twelue of the chiefe of the Priests, Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
25 Epi mwen te peze bay yo ajan, lò, avèk zouti, ofrann pou lakay Bondye nou an, ke wa a avèk konseye li yo ak chèf li yo avèk tout Israël prezan yo, te bay.
And weighed them the siluer and the gold, and the vessels, euen the offring of ye house of our God, which the King and his counselers, and his Princes, and all Israel that were present had offred.
26 Konsa, mwen te peze mete nan men yo sis-san-senkant talan ajan, zouti an ajan ki te gen valè a san talan e anplis, san talan lò,
And I weighed vnto their hand sixe hundreth and fiftie talents of siluer, and in siluer vessel, an hundreth talents, and in golde, an hundreth talents:
27 ven bòl an lò ki te gen valè mil darik yo, ak de zouti an bwonz klè, byen fen, presye kon lò.
And twentie basins of golde, of a thousand drammes, and two vessels of shining brasse very good, and precious as golde.
28 Mwen te di yo: “Nou sen a SENYÈ la, e tout zouti yo sen. Epi ajan avèk lò a se yon ofrann bòn volonte a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo.
And I said vnto them, Ye are consecrate vnto the Lord, and the vessels are consecrate, and the gold and the siluer are freely offred vnto the Lord God of your fathers.
29 Veye e kenbe yo jiskaske nou peze yo devan prèt prensipal yo, Levit yo ak chèf an tèt lakay zansèt a Israël nou yo Jérusalem, nan chanm lakay SENYÈ yo.”
Watch ye, and keepe them vntill ye weigh them before the chiefe Priestes and the Leuites, and the chiefe fathers of Israel in Ierusalem in the chambers of the house of the Lord.
30 Konsa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te aksepte ajan avèk lò ki te fin peze yo ak zouti yo pou pote yo Jérusalem lakay Bondye pa nou an.
So the Priests and the Leuites receiued the weight of the siluer and of the golde, and of the vessels to bring them to Ierusalem, vnto the house of our God.
31 Epi nou te vwayaje soti nan rivyè Ahava a nan douzyèm jou nan premye mwa a pou monte Jérusalem. Lamen Bondye nou an te sou nou, e Li te delivre nou soti nan men a lènmi yo, ak anbiskad nan chemen yo.
Then we departed from the Riuer of Ahauah on the twelft day of the first moneth, to go vnto Ierusalem, and the hand of our God was vpon vs, and deliuered vs from the hand of the enemie, and of such as layde waite by the way.
32 Konsa, nou te rive Jérusalem e te rete la pandan twa jou.
And we came to Ierusalem, and abode there three dayes.
33 Nan katriyèm jou a, ajan an avèk lò a avèk zouti ki te peze pa men a Merémoth la, fis a Urie a, prèt la, e avèk li, te gen Éléazar, fis a Phinées; epi avèk yo, te gen Levit yo, Jozabad, fis a Josué a ak Noadia, fis a Binnui a.
And on ye fourth day was the siluer weighed, and the golde and the vessell in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the sonne of Vriah the Priest, and with him was Eleazar the sonne of Phinehas, and with them was Iozabad the sonne of Ieshua, and Noadiah the sonne of Binnui the Leuites,
34 Tout bagay te nimewote e te peze, e tout pwa a te rekòde menm lè sa a.
By number and by weight of euery one, and all the weight was written at the same time.
35 Moun egzil ki te sòti an kaptivite yo te ofri ofrann brile a Bondye Israël la: douz towo pou tout Israël, katre-ven-sèz belye, swasann-dis-sèt jenn mouton, douz mal kabrit kon ofrann peche. Yo tout te kon yon ofrann brile a SENYÈ a.
Also the children of the captiuitie, which were come out of captiuitie, offred burnt offrings vnto the God of Israel, twelue bullockes for all Israel, ninetie and sixe rammes, seuentie and seuen lambes, and twelue hee goates for sinne: all was a burnt offring of the Lord.
36 Yo te livre dekrè a wa a chèf pwovens yo, e a majistra lòtbò rivyè Jourdain an. Konsa, yo te bay soutyen a pèp la avèk lakay Bondye a.
And they deliuered the Kings commission vnto the Kings officers, and to the captaines beyond the Riuer: and they promoted the people, and the house of God.
