Neemi 12

1 Alò, sila yo se te prèt avèk Levit ki te monte avèk Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la ak Josué: Seraja, Jérémie, Esdras,

Now, these, are the priests and the Levites, who came up with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, —Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra;

2 Amaria, Malluc, Hattusch,

Amariah, Malluch, Hattush;

3 Schecania, Rehum, Merémoth,

Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth;

Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah;

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkija, Jedaeja. Sila yo te chèf prèt yo avèk fanmi pa yo nan tan Josué a.

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah, —these, were the chiefs of the priests and their brethren, in the days of Jeshua.

8 Levit yo te Josué, Binnuï, Kadmiel, Schérébia, Juda, Matthania, ki, avèk frè li yo, te dirije chan remèsiman yo.

And, the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, —over the choirs, he and his brethren;

9 Anplis Bakbukia avèk Unni, frè pa yo ki te kanpe anfas yo nan divizyon sèvis yo.

and Bakbukiah and Unno their brethren, were over against them, in wards.

10 Josué te vin papa a Jojakim, Jojakim te fè Éliaschib, Éliaschib te fè Jojada,

And Jeshua, begat Joiakim, —and Joiakim, begat Eliashib, and, Eliashib, [begat] Joiada;

11 Jojada te fè Jonathan e Jonathan te fè Jaddua.

and, Joiada, begat Jonathan, —and, Jonathan, begat Jaddua.

12 Alò, nan tan Jojakim, prèt yo, chèf an tèt lakay zansèt papa yo te pou Seraja, Meraja, e pou Jérémie, Hanania;

And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, —of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

13 Pou Esdras, Meschullam; pou Amaria, Jochanan;

of Ezra, Meshullam, —of Amariah, Jehohanan;

14 pou Meluki, Jonathan; pou Schebvania, Jospeh;

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.

The Levites—in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded as ancestral chiefs, —also the priests, unto the reign of Darius the Persian.

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.

the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of Chronicles, —even until the days of Johanan, son of Eliashib.

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.

And, the chiefs of the Levites, Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise—to give thanks, by the commandment of David the man of God, —ward joined to ward.

25 Matthania, Bakbukia, Abdias, Meschullam, Thalmon avèk Akkub, te gadyen pòtay ki te responsab veye depo pòtay yo.

Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of 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.

These, were in the days of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, —and in the days of Nehemiah the pasha, and Ezra the priest the 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.

And, at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites, out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, —to keep the dedication and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.

28 Konsa, fis a chantè yo te rasanble soti nan distri ki te antoure Jérusalem nan e soti nan vilaj a Netofatyen yo,

So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of 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.

also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.

30 Prèt yo avèk Levit yo te pirifye tèt yo; anplis, yo te pirifye pèp la, pòt yo avèk miray la.

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and 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 brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;

32 Hosée avèk mwatye nan dirijan Juda yo te swiv yo,

and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;

33 avèk Azaria, Esdras, Meschullam,

then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;

34 Juda, Benjamin, Schemaja, avèk Jérémie,

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and 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, of the sons of the priests, with trumpets, Zechariah—son of Jonathan—son of Shemaiah—son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, 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 brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;

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.

and, over they fountain gate and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, —above the house of David, even as far as the water-gate, eastward.

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.

And, the second choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as 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.

and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, 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;

So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;

41 epi prèt yo, Éliakim, Maaséja, Minjamin, Michée, Eljoénaï, Zacharie, Hanania, avèk twonpèt yo;

and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

42 epi Maaséja, Schemaeja, Éléazar, Uzzi, Jochanan, Malkija, Élam ak Ézer. Epi chantè yo te chante avèk Jizrachja, dirijan pa yo a,

and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.

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.

And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

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 there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.

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.

So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.

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, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto 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.

Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.
