22 Epi pou Levit yo, chèf an tèt lakay papa zansèt pa yo te anrejistre nan jou a Éliaschib yo, Jojada, avèk Jochanan ak Jaddua; konsa yo te sèvi kon prèt nan règn Darius, Perse la.
In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
23 Fis a Lévi yo, chèf an tèt lakay papa zansèt yo, te anrejistre nan Liv A Kwonik yo jis rive nan tan Jochanan, fis Éliaschib la.
As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
24 Chèf an tèt a Levit yo te Haschabia, Schérébia e Josué, fis a Kadmiel la, avèk frè pa yo anfas yo, pou bay lwanj avèk remèsiman, jan sa te preskri pa David, nonm Bondye a, divizyon ki te koresponn ak divizyon.
The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
25 Matthania, Bakbukia, Abdias, Meschullam, Thalmon avèk Akkub, te gadyen pòtay ki te responsab veye depo pòtay yo.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
26 Sila yo te sèvi nan jou a Jojakim yo, fis a Josué a, fis a Jotsadak la e nan jou a Néhémie yo, gouvènè a, avèk Esdras, prèt la ak skrib.
They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
27 Alò, nan dedikasyon miray Jérusalem nan, yo te chache twouve Levit soti nan tout plas yo pou mennen yo Jérusalem pou yo ta kab selebre dedikasyon an avèk jwa, avèk lwanj kè kontan, avèk chan avèk senbal, ap ak lenstriman a kòd yo.
At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
28 Konsa, fis a chantè yo te rasanble soti nan distri ki te antoure Jérusalem nan e soti nan vilaj a Netofatyen yo,
The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 soti Beth-Guilgal, avèk chan nan Guéba avèk Azmavet, paske chantè yo te fin bati pou kont yo vilaj nan anviwon Jérusalem yo.
from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
30 Prèt yo avèk Levit yo te pirifye tèt yo; anplis, yo te pirifye pèp la, pòt yo avèk miray la.
After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Konsa, mwen te fè dirijan a Juda yo vin monte sou miray la, e mwen te chwazi de gran gwoup koral premye ki t ap sòti sou bò dwat anlè miray la vè Pòtay Kolin Fimye a.
Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
32 Hosée avèk mwatye nan dirijan Juda yo te swiv yo,
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
33 avèk Azaria, Esdras, Meschullam,
along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Juda, Benjamin, Schemaja, avèk Jérémie,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
35 epi kèk nan fis a prèt yo avèk twonpèt yo: Zacharie, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Schemaeja a, fis a Matthania a, fis a Michée a, fis a Zaccur a, fis a Asaph la;
and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
36 avèk fanmi li yo, Schemaeja, Azaneel, Juda ak Hanani, avèk enstriman mizik a David yo, nonm Bondye a. Epi Esdras, skrib la, te ale devan yo.
and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
37 Nan Pòtay Sous Bwote a, yo te monte tou dwat sou eskalye lavil David la toupre eskalye miray la anwo lakay David la, pou rive nan Pòtay Dlo a vè lès.
At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
38 Dezyèm koral la te ale vè goch, pandan mwen t ap swiv yo avèk mwatye pèp la sou miray la, anwo Tou Founo yo, rive nan Gran Miray la.
The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
39 Epi anwo Pòtay Éphraïm nan, kote Pòtay ansyen an, kote Pòtay Pwason an, Fò Hananeel la ak fò a dè Santèn yo, jis rive nan Pòtay Mouton yo; epi yo te rete kanpe nan Pòtay Gad la.
over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
40 Epi de koral yo te kanpe nan pozisyon yo lakay Bondye a, e mwen menm tou, avèk mwatye ofisye ki te avè m yo;
The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
41 epi prèt yo, Éliakim, Maaséja, Minjamin, Michée, Eljoénaï, Zacharie, Hanania, avèk twonpèt yo;
as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
42 epi Maaséja, Schemaeja, Éléazar, Uzzi, Jochanan, Malkija, Élam ak Ézer. Epi chantè yo te chante avèk Jizrachja, dirijan pa yo a,
and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
43 Nan jou sa a, yo te ofri gran sakrifis e te rejwi paske Bondye te bay yo gwo lajwa. Fanm yo ak timoun yo tou te rejwi, jiskaske lajwa Jérusalem nan te tande byen lwen.
On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
44 Anplis, nan jou sa a, mesye yo te chwazi kon responsab sou chanm depo yo, kontribisyon yo, premye fwi yo, ak dim yo, pou ranmase yo antre soti nan chan nan vil yo, pòsyon ki te mande pa lalwa a pou prèt ak Levit yo; paske Juda te rejwi de prèt avèk Levit ki te fè sèvis yo.
And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
45 Paske, yo te ranpli devwa Bondye yo a, avèk sèvis pirifikasyon an, ansanm avèk chantè yo ak gadyen pòtay yo an akò avèk lòd David avèk fis li a, Salomon.
They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
46 Paske nan jou a David avèk Asaph yo, nan tan ansyen an, te gen dirijan pou chantè yo ak chan adorasyon yo, e kantik remèsiman a Bondye.
For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Konsa, tout Israël nan jou Zorobabel avèk Néhémie yo te bay pòsyon ki te dwe fèt pou chantè yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo kon chak jou te mande a, e te mete apa pòsyon ki te konsakre a Levit yo; epi Levit yo te mete apa pòsyon ki te konsakre pou fis Aaron yo.
So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
