They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of 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 people sought out the Levites wherever they lived, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings and singing with 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,
The fellowship of singers gathered together from the district around Jerusalem and 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.
They also came from Beth Gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.
30 Prèt yo avèk Levit yo te pirifye tèt yo; anplis, yo te pirifye pèp la, pòt yo avèk miray la.
The priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then 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 had the leaders of Judah go up to the top of the wall, and I appointed two large choirs who gave thanks. One went to the right on the wall toward the Dung Gate.
32 Hosée avèk mwatye nan dirijan Juda yo te swiv yo,
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
33 avèk Azaria, Esdras, Meschullam,

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' sons with trumpets, and 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.
There also were Zechariah's relatives, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. Ezra the scribe was in front of 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.
By the Fountain Gate they went straight up on the stairs of the city of David, by the stairway to the wall above David's palace, 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 other choir of those who gave thanks went in the other direction. I followed them on the wall with half the people, above the Tower of 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.
and above the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate and the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, to 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;
So both choirs of those who gave thanks took their place in the house of God, and I also took my place with half of the officials with me.
41 epi prèt yo, Éliakim, Maaséja, Minjamin, Michée, Eljoénaï, Zacharie, Hanania, avèk twonpèt yo;
Then the priests took their place: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with the trumpets,
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, and the singers made themselves heard and Jezrahiah was their leader.
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.
They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy. Also the women and the children rejoiced. So the joy of Jerusalem could be heard far away.
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.
On that day men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the law for the priests and for the Levites. Each was assigned to work the fields near the towns. For Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who were standing before them.
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, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, in keeping with the command 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 long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors of singers, and there were 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.
In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers. They set aside the portion that was for the Levites, and the Levites set aside a portion for the descendants of Aaron.
