Neemi 13

1 Nan jou sa a, yo te li soti nan liv Moïse la, nan tande a pèp la, epi li te twouve ekri ladann ke ni Amonit ni Moabit pa ta janm dwe antre nan asanble Bondye a,

in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to call: read out in/on/with scroll: book Moses in/on/with ear: hearing [the] people and to find to write in/on/with him which not to come (in): come Ammon and Moabite in/on/with assembly [the] God till forever: enduring

2 paske yo pa t rankontre fis Israël yo avèk pen avèk dlo, men te anplwaye Balaam kont yo pou bay yo madichon. Men Bondye nou an te vire madichon an fè l vin benediksyon.

for not to meet [obj] son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with food: bread and in/on/with water and to hire upon him [obj] Balaam to/for to lighten him and to overturn God our [the] curse to/for blessing

3 Pou sa, lè yo te tande lalwa a, yo te mete tout etranje yo deyò Israël.

and to be like/as to hear: hear they [obj] [the] instruction and to separate all racial-mix from Israel

4 Alò, avan sa a, Éliaschib, prèt la, ki te chwazi dirijan nan chanm lakay Bondye yo, ki te fè aliyans ak Tobija,

and to/for face: before from this Eliashib [the] priest to give: put in/on/with chamber house: temple God our near to/for Tobiah

5 te prepare yon gran chanm pou li, nan kote a ki oparavan te konn sèvi pou depo ofrann sereyal yo, lansan a, zouti ak dim sereyal yo, diven avèk lwil ki te pou Levit yo, chantè yo, ak gadyen pòtay yo, avèk kontribisyon balanse an lè, ki te pou prèt yo.

and to make to/for him chamber great: large and there to be to/for face: before to give: put [obj] [the] offering [the] frankincense and [the] article/utensil and tithe [the] grain [the] new wine and [the] oil commandment [the] Levi and [the] to sing and [the] gatekeeper and contribution [the] priest

6 Men pandan tout tan sa a, mwen pa t la Jérusalem, paske nan trann-dezyèm ane Artaxerxès la, wa a Babylone nan, mwen te deja ale kote wa a. Men apre kèk tan, mwen te mande pèmisyon a wa a pou m sòti,

and in/on/with all this not to be in/on/with Jerusalem for in/on/with year thirty and two to/for Artaxerxes king Babylon to come (in): come to(wards) [the] king and to/for end day to ask from [the] king

7 epi mwen te rive Jérusalem e te vin aprann mal ke Éliaschib te fè pou Tobija a, lè l te prepare yon chanm pou li nan lakou lakay Bondye a.

and to come (in): come to/for Jerusalem and to understand [emph?] in/on/with distress: evil which to make: do Eliashib to/for Tobiah to/for to make to/for him chamber in/on/with court house: temple [the] God

8 Sa te fè m pa kontan anpil. Konsa, mwen te jete tout bagay Tobija yo deyò chanm nan.

and be evil to/for me much and to throw [emph?] [obj] all article/utensil house: home Tobiah [the] outside from [the] chamber

9 Epi mwen te pase lòd, e yo te netwaye chanm yo. Mwen te remete la zouti lakay Bondye yo avèk ofrann sereyal la ak lansan an.

and to say [emph?] and be pure [the] chamber and to return: return [emph?] there article/utensil house: temple [the] God [obj] [the] offering and [the] frankincense

10 Anplis, mwen te dekouvri ke pòsyon Levit yo pa t konn bay a yo menm ki te fè Levit yo avèk chantè yo ki te pèfòme nan fè sèvis yo, ale; yo chak nan pwòp chan pa l.

and to know [emph?] for portion [the] Levi not to give: give and to flee man: anyone to/for land: country his [the] Levi and [the] to sing to make: do [the] work

11 Konsa, mwen te repwoche responsab yo. Mwen te di: “Poukisa lakay Bondye a abandone?” Mwen te reyini yo ansanm e te fè yo reprann pòs yo.

and to contend [emph?] with [the] ruler and to say [emph?] why? to leave: neglect house: temple [the] God and to gather them and to stand: stand them upon post their

12 Konsa ankò, tout Juda te pote dim sereyal la, diven an avèk lwil la, antre nan kay depo yo.

and all Judah to come (in): bring tithe [the] grain and [the] new wine and [the] oil to/for treasure

13 Kon responsab pou kay depo yo, mwen te chwazi Schélémia, prèt la, Tsadok, skrib la, avèk Pedaja a Levit yo: epi akote sila yo, Hanan, fis a Zaccur a, fis a Matthania a; paske yo te konsidere kon moun serye e se te tach pa yo pou separe bay a frè yo.

and to store [emph?] upon treasure Shelemiah [the] priest and Zadok [the] secretary and Pedaiah from [the] Levi and upon hand: to their Hanan son: child Zaccur son: child Mattaniah for be faithful to devise: count and upon them to/for to divide to/for brother: male-relative their

14 Sonje mwen pou sa, O Bondye mwen, e pa efase zèv fidèl ke m te fè pou lakay Bondye mwen an ak sèvis mwen te fè pou li a.

to remember [emph?] to/for me God my upon this and not to wipe kindness my which to make: do in/on/with house: temple God my and in/on/with custody his

15 Nan jou sa yo, mwen te wè nan Juda kèk moun ki t ap bat rezen nan Saba a, ki t ap fè antre sak sereyal yo, chaje yo sou bourik yo, ansanm avèk diven an, rezen yo, fig yo ak tout kalite chaj yo pou yo te pote yo antre Jérusalem nan jou Saba a. Pou sa, mwen te fè temwen kont yo nan jou ke yo t ap vann manje a.

in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) to see: see in/on/with Judah to tread wine press in/on/with Sabbath and to come (in): bring [the] heap and to lift upon [the] donkey and also wine grape and fig and all burden and to come (in): bring Jerusalem in/on/with day [the] Sabbath and to testify in/on/with day to sell they food

16 Anplis, mesye Tyre yo te rete la e te enpòte pwason avèk tout kalite machandiz, ki te vann a fis Juda yo nan Saba a, menm nan Jérusalem.

and [the] Tyrian to dwell in/on/with her to come (in): bring fish and all merchandise and to sell in/on/with Sabbath to/for son: descendant/people Judah and in/on/with Jerusalem

17 Pou sa a mwen te bay repwòch a moun prensipal Juda yo epi te di yo: “Ki kalite mal nou ap fè la a, lè nou vin degrade jou Saba a?

and to contend [emph?] with noble Judah and to say [emph?] to/for them what? [the] word: thing [the] bad: evil [the] this which you(m. p.) to make: do and to profane/begin: profane [obj] day [the] Sabbath

18 Èske papa nou yo pa t fè menm bagay la, jiskaske Bondye nou an te fè rive nou avèk tout vil sa a tout twoub sa yo? Sepandan, nou ap ogmante kòlè sou Israël lè nou vin desann jou Saba a konsa.”

not thus to make: do father your and to come (in): bring God our upon us [obj] all [the] distress: harm [the] this and upon [the] city [the] this and you(m. p.) to add burning anger upon Israel to/for to profane/begin: profane [obj] [the] Sabbath

19 Li te vin rive ke lè l te fenk ap fènwa nan pòtay Jérusalem yo avan Saba a, mwen te pase lòd pou pòt yo ta fèmen e pou yo pa ta ouvri yo jiskaske Saba a te fini. Mwen te estasyone kèk nan sèvitè mwen yo nan pòtay yo pou okenn chaj pa t antre nan Saba a.

and to be like/as as which to shade gate Jerusalem to/for face: before [the] Sabbath and to say [emph?] and to shut [the] door and to say [emph?] which not to open them till after [the] Sabbath and from youth my to stand: stand upon [the] gate not to come (in): come burden in/on/with day [the] Sabbath

20 Youn oswa de fwa, machann a tout kalite machandiz te oblije pase nwit lan deyò Jérusalem.

and to lodge [the] to trade and to sell all sale from outside to/for Jerusalem beat and two

21 Konsa mwen te avèti yo, epi te di yo: “Poukisa nou pase nwit lan devan miray la? Si nou fè sa ankò, m ap sèvi ak fòs kont nou.” Depi lè sa a jis ale nèt, yo pa t vini nan Saba a.

and to testify [emph?] in/on/with them and to say [emph?] to(wards) them why? you(m. p.) to lodge before [the] wall if to repeat hand to send: reach in/on/with you from [the] time [the] he/she/it not to come (in): come in/on/with Sabbath

22 Mwen te pase lòd a Levit yo ke yo ta dwe pirifye tèt yo e vini tankou gadyen pòtay yo pou sanktifye jou Saba a. Pou sa, anplis, sonje mwen, O Bondye mwen e fè mwen mizerikòd, selon grandè lanmou dous Ou.

and to say [emph?] to/for Levi which to be be pure and to come (in): come to keep: guard [the] gate to/for to consecrate: consecate [obj] day [the] Sabbath also this to remember [emph?] to/for me God my and to pity [emph?] upon me like/as abundance kindness your

23 Anplis, nan jou sa yo, mwen te wè ke Jwif yo te konn marye ak fanm Ashdod yo, Ammon, avèk Moab yo.

also in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) to see: see [obj] [the] Jew to dwell woman (Ashdod Ammon *Q(k)*) Moabite

24 Epi selon pitit yo, mwatye nan yo te pale langaj Ashdod la, e nanpwen menm nan yo ki te gen kapasite pou pale langaj Juda a, men pito langaj a pèp pa li a.

and son: child their half to speak: speak Ashdod and nothing they to recognize to/for to speak: speak Judahite and like/as tongue: language people and people

25 Pou sa, mwen te kanpe kont yo, mwen te bay yo madichon yo, te frape kèk nan yo, te rale cheve yo e te fè yo sèmante pa Bondye: “Ou p ap bay fi ou yo a fis pa yo, ni pran nan fi pa yo pou fis nou, ni pou nou menm.

and to contend with them and to lighten them and to smite from them human and to smooth them and to swear them in/on/with God if: surely no to give: give(marriage) daughter your to/for son: child their and if: surely no to lift: marry from daughter their to/for son: child your and to/for you

26 Èske Salomon, wa Israël la, pa t peche nan bagay sa yo? Malgre, pami anpil nasyon yo, pa t gen wa tankou li, li te renmen pa Bondye li a, e Bondye te fè li wa sou tout Israël. Sepandan, fanm etranje yo te fè menm li menm nan fè peche.

not upon these to sin Solomon king Israel and in/on/with nation [the] many not to be king like him and to love: lover to/for God his to be and to give: make him God king upon all Israel also [obj] him to sin [the] woman [the] foreign

27 Alò, èske nou tande de nou menm ke nou te komèt gran mal sila a, e te aji avèk enfidelite kont Bondye nou an nan fè maryaj avèk fanm etranje yo?”

and to/for you to hear: hear to/for to make: do [obj] all [the] distress: evil [the] great: large [the] this to/for be unfaithful in/on/with God our to/for to dwell woman foreign

28 Menm youn nan fis a Jojada yo, fis a Éliaschib la, wo prèt la, te bofis a Sanballat, Owonit lan, e pou sa, mwen te chase li lwen mwen.

and from son: child Joiada son: child Eliashib [the] priest [the] great: large son-in-law to/for Sanballat [the] Horonite and to flee him from upon me

29 Sonje yo, O Bondye mwen, akoz yo te degrade otorite a prèt la, avèk akò otorite prèt yo avèk Levit yo.

to remember [emph?] to/for them God my upon defilement [the] priesthood and covenant [the] priesthood and [the] Levi

30 Konsa, mwen te pirifye soti nan tout bagay etranje yo e te chwazi devwa pou prèt yo ak Levit yo, yo chak nan pwòp tach pa yo;

and be pure them from all foreign and to stand: appoint [emph?] charge to/for priest and to/for Levi man: anyone in/on/with work his

31 epi pou ofran founi bwa nan lè chwazi yo, ak pou premye fwi yo, sonje mwen, O Bondye mwen, pou sa ki bon.

and to/for offering [the] tree: wood in/on/with time to appoint and to/for firstfruit to remember [emph?] to/for me God my to/for welfare
