Neemi 2
1 Li te vin rive nan mwa Nisan an, nan ventyèm ane a Wa Artaxerxès la, ke te gen diven devan li e mwen te monte pote diven an e te bay li a wa a. Alò, mwen pa t janm konn tris nan prezans li konsa.
and to be in/on/with month Nisan year twenty to/for Artaxerxes [the] king wine to/for face: before his and to lift: raise [obj] [the] wine and to give: give [emph?] to/for king and not to be bad: harmful to/for face: before his
2 Konsa, wa a te di mwen: “Poukisa figi ou tris konsa, malgre ou pa malad? Sa pa mwens ke tristès kè.” Konsa, mwen te krent anpil.
and to say to/for me [the] king why? face your bad: harmful and you(m. s.) nothing you be weak: ill nothing this for if: except evil heart and to fear to multiply much
3 Mwen te di a wa a: “Kite wa a viv jis pou tout tan. Poukisa figi mwen pa ta dwe tris lè vil la, plas a tonm papa zansèt mwen yo, dezole nèt e pòtay li yo fin brile ak dife?”
and to say to/for king [the] king to/for forever: enduring to live why? not be evil face my which [the] city place grave father my desolate and gate her to eat in/on/with fire
4 Wa a te reponn mwen: “Kisa ou ta mande?” Konsa, mwen te priye a Bondye syèl la.
and to say to/for me [the] king upon what? this you(m. s.) to seek and to pray to(wards) God [the] heaven
5 Mwen te di wa a: “Si li ta fè wa plezi, e si sèvitè ou a te jwenn favè devan ou, voye m Juda, nan vil tonm a papa zansèt mwen yo, pou m ta kab rebati li.”
and to say to/for king if upon [the] king pleasant and if be good servant/slave your to/for face: before your which to send: depart me to(wards) Judah to(wards) city grave father my and to build her
6 Epi wa a te di mwen pandan rèn nan te chita akote l: “Konbyen de tan vwayaj ou kapab ye? Epi kilè ou va retounen?” Konsa, sa te fè wa a plezi pou voye mwen, e mwen te bay li yon lè jis.
and to say to/for me [the] king and [the] queen to dwell beside him till how to be journey your and how to return: return and be good to/for face of [the] king and to send: depart me and to give: give [emph?] to/for him time
7 Anplis mwen te di wa a: “Si sa fè wa a plezi, kite lèt bay a mwen pou gouvènè nan pwovens yo lòtbò rivyè a, pou yo kapab kite mwen pase ladann yo jiskaske mwen rive Juda;
and to say to/for king if upon [the] king pleasant letter to give: give to/for me upon governor side: beside [the] River which to pass me till which to come (in): come to(wards) Judah
8 anplis, yon lèt a Asaph, gadyen nan forè a wa a, pou li kapab ban mwen bwa chapant pou fè travès pou pòtay a fò ki akote tanp lan; epi pou miray lavil la e pou kay nan sila mwen prale a.” Wa a te ban m tout sa akoz bon men Bondye mwen an te sou mwen.
and letter to(wards) Asaph to keep: guard [the] park which to/for king which to give: give to/for me tree: wood to/for to lay beams [obj] gate [the] palace which to/for house: home and to/for wall [the] city and to/for house: home which to come (in): come to(wards) him and to give: give to/for me [the] king like/as hand: power God my [the] pleasant upon me
9 Mwen te rive kote gouvènè nan pwovens lòtbò rivyè yo, e te bay yo lèt a wa a. Alò, wa a te voye mwen avèk chèf lame yo ak chevalye yo.
and to come (in): come to(wards) governor side: beside [the] River and to give: give [emph?] to/for them [obj] letter [the] king and to send: depart with me [the] king ruler strength: soldiers and horseman
10 Lè Sanballat, Owonit lan avèk Tobija, chèf Amonit lan te tande koze sila a, sa te fè yo pa kontan anpil, pou yon moun ta vin chache fè byen pou fis a Israël yo.
and to hear: hear Sanballat [the] Horonite and Tobiah [the] servant/slave [the] Ammon and be evil to/for them distress: evil great: large which to come (in): come man to/for to seek welfare to/for son: descendant/people Israel
11 Konsa, mwen te vini Jérusalem, e mwen te la pandan twa jou.
and to come (in): come to(wards) Jerusalem and to be there day three
12 Mwen te leve pandan lannwit lan, avèk kèk bon mesye avèk mwen. Mwen pa t pale pèsòn sa ke Bondye mwen an te mete nan tèt mwen pou fè pou Jérusalem nan, e pa t gen bèt avè m sof ke sila ke mwen menm te monte a.
and to arise: rise night I and human little with me and not to tell to/for man what? God my to give: put to(wards) heart my to/for to make: do to/for Jerusalem and animal nothing with me that if: except if: except [the] animal which I to ride in/on/with her
13 Konsa, mwen te sòti deyò nan nwit lan akote Pòtay Vale a, vè Pwi Dragon an, anplis pou rive nan Pòtay Fimye a, e mwen t ap pase fè enspeksyon miray Jérusalem yo, ki te kraze nèt ak pòtay li yo ki te manje pa dife.
and to come out: come [emph?] in/on/with gate [the] Valley (Gate) night and to(wards) face: before Fountain of Dragon and to(wards) gate [the] Dung (Gate) and to be to inspect in/on/with wall Jerusalem which (they(masc.) to break through *Q(K)*) and gate her to eat in/on/with fire
14 Mwen te pase rive pi lwen nan Pòtay Sous Bwote a, avèk Dlo Etan a Wa a; men pa t gen kote pou bèt mwen an pase.
and to pass to(wards) gate [the] Fountain (Gate) and to(wards) (Shelah) Pool [the] King's and nothing place to/for animal to/for to pass underneath: under me
15 Konsa, mwen te pase pandan nwit lan pa ravin nan pou te fè enspeksyon miray la. Epi mwen te antre ankò nan Pòtay Vale a e mwen te retounen.
and to be to ascend: rise in/on/with torrent: valley night and to be to inspect in/on/with wall and to return: return and to come (in): come in/on/with gate [the] Valley (Gate) and to return: return
16 Chèf lokal yo pa t konnen kote mwen te ale a, ni sa mwen te fè a; ni jis rive nan moman sa a, mwen potko pale Jwif yo, prèt yo, moun nòb yo, chèf yo, ni lòt moun ki t ap fè travay yo.
and [the] ruler not to know where? to go: went and what? I to make: do and to/for Jew and to/for priest and to/for noble and to/for ruler and to/for remainder to make: do [the] work till so not to tell
17 Konsa mwen te di yo: “Nou wè move ka nou an, ke Jérusalem dezole e pòtay li yo fin brile pa dife? Vini, annou rebati miray Jérusalem nan pou nou pa parèt kon yon wont ankò.”
and to say to(wards) them you(m. p.) to see: see [the] distress: harm which we in/on/with her which Jerusalem desolate and gate her to kindle in/on/with fire to go: come! and to build [obj] wall Jerusalem and not to be still reproach
18 Mwen te pale yo jan men Bondye mwen an te ban m favè e anplis, pawòl ke wa a te pale mwen yo. Yo te di: “Annou leve pou bati.” Konsa, yo te mete men yo nan bon èv sila a.
and to tell to/for them [obj] hand: power God my which he/she/it pleasant upon me and also word [the] king which to say to/for me and to say to arise: rise and to build and to strengthen: strengthen hand their to/for welfare
19 Men lè Sanballat, Owonit lan avèk Tobija, chèf Amonit lan, avèk Guéschem, Arab la, te tande koze sa a, yo te moke nou, te meprize nou, epi te di: “Ki bagay sa n ap fè la a? Èske nou ap fè rebèl kont wa a?”
and to hear: hear Sanballat [the] Horonite and Tobiah [the] servant/slave [the] Ammon and Geshem [the] Arabian and to mock to/for us and to despise upon us and to say what? [the] word: thing [the] this which you(m. p.) to make: do upon [the] king you(m. p.) to rebel
20 Konsa, mwen te reponn yo epi te di yo: “Bondye syèl la va fè nou reyisi. Se akoz sa a, sèvitè li yo va leve pou bati. Men nou menm, nou p ap gen pòsyon, ni dwa, ni souvni nan Jérusalem.”
and to return: reply [obj] them word and to say to/for them God [the] heaven he/she/it to prosper to/for us and we servant/slave his to arise: rise and to build and to/for you nothing portion and righteousness and memorial in/on/with Jerusalem
