Neemi 4
1 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Sanballat te tande ke nou t ap rebati miray la, li te vin anraje nèt, byen fache e te moke Jwif yo.
And it was just when he heard Sanballat that we [were] rebuilding the wall and it burned to him and he was angry greatly and he mocked the Jews.
2 Li te pale nan prezans a frè li yo avèk Samariten rich yo. Li te di: “Se kisa Jwif san kapasite ak fòs sa yo ap fè la a? Èske y ap restore li pou kont yo? Èske yo kab ofri sakrifis? Èske yo kab fin fè l nan yon jounen? Èske yo kab restore wòch yo soti nan ranblè plen pousyè a; menm sa ki te brile yo?”
And he said - before brothers his and [the] army of Samaria and he said what? [are] the Jews feeble doing ¿ will they restore for themselves ¿ will they offer sacrifices ¿ will they finish in the day ¿ will they restore the stones from [the] heaps of debris and they [are] burned.
3 Alò, Tobija, Amonit lan, te toupre li. Li te di: “Menm sa y ap bati, si yon rena ta vòltije ladann, li ta kraze wòch miray yo!”
And Tobiah the Ammonite [was] beside him and he said also [that] which they [are] building if it will go up a fox and it will break down [the] wall of stones their.
4 Tande, O Bondye pa nou an, kijan nou meprize! Fè repwòch pa yo retounen sou pwòp tèt yo, e livre yo pou yo ta vin piyaje nan yon peyi an kaptivite.
Hear O God our for we are contempt and return reproach their to own head their and give them to plunder in a land of captivity.
5 Pa padone inikite yo, e pa kite peche yo efase devan Ou, paske yo te dekouraje ouvriye ki t ap bati yo.
And may not you cover over iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not it be wiped out for they have provoked to anger to before the builders.
6 Konsa, nou te bati miray la, e tout miray la te jwenn ansanm jis rive nan mwatye wotè li, paske pèp la te gen tèt ansanm pou travay la.
And we rebuilt the wall and it was joined together all the wall to middle its and it belonged a heart to the people to work.
7 Alò, lè Sanballat, Tobija, Arab yo, Amonit ak Ashdodit yo te tande ke reparasyon miray Jérusalem yo te kontinye, e ke brèch yo te kòmanse fèmen yo te byen fache.
And it was just when he heard Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites that it had gone up [the] repair of [the] walls of Jerusalem that they had begun the broken down [parts] to be closed and it burned to them exceedingly.
8 Yo tout ansanm te fè konplo pou vin goumen kont Jérusalem, e pou fè zen ladann.
And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.
9 Men nou te priye a Bondye nou an e akoz yo menm, nou te plase yon gad pou anpeche yo lajounen kon lannwit.
And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.
10 Konsa, nan Juda yo t ap di: “Fòs a sila ki pote chaj yo ap febli, Malgre, toujou gen anpil fatra; Epi nou menm pou kont nou, P ap kab rebati miray la.”
And it said Judah it has failed [the] strength of the burden-bearer[s] and the debris [is] much and we not we will be able to rebuild the wall.
11 Lènmi nou yo t ap di: “Yo p ap konnen ni wè jiskaske nou vini pami yo, touye yo e mete fen nan travay la.”
And they said opponents our not they will know and not they will see until that we will come into [the] midst of them and we will kill them and we will put an end to the work.
12 Lè Jwif ki te rete toupre yo te vin kote nou dis fwa epi te di nou: “Yo va vini kont nou soti tout kote ke nou kab vire,”
And it was just when they came the Jews who were dwelling beside them and they said to us ten times from all the places which you will turn to us.
13 Alò, mwen te estasyone moun nan pati piba nan espas dèyè miray la, kote ki te manke pwotèj e mwen te estasyone moun pami fanmi yo avèk nepe pa yo, lans ak banza yo.
And I stationed from [the] lower parts of the place from behind of the wall (in the open places *Q(K)*) and I stationed the people to clans with swords their spears their and bows their.
14 Lè m te wè ke yo te pè, mwen te leve pale avèk gwo moun yo, chèf yo ak tout lòt moun yo: “Pa pè yo; sonje Senyè a gran e mèvèye. Goumen pou frè nou yo, fis nou yo, fi nou yo, madanm nou yo ak lakay nou yo.”
And I saw and I arose and I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people may not you be afraid of them [the] Lord great and awesome remember and fight on brothers your sons your and daughters your wives your and houses your.
15 Lè lènmi nou yo te tande ke afè yo te rekonèt pa nou, e ke Bondye te jennen plan yo; alò, nou tout te retounen kote miray la, chak moun nan pwòp travay li.
And it was just when they heard enemies our that it was known to us and he had frustrated God purpose their (and we returned *Q(k)*) all of us to the wall each one to work his.
16 Depi jou sa a, mwatye nan sèvitè mwen yo te fè travay la, e lòt mwatye a te kenbe lans yo, boukliye pwotèj yo, banza yo ak pwotèj lestomak yo. Epi kapitèn yo te dèyè lakay Juda a.
And it was - from the day that half of young men my [were] doing the work and half of them [were] holding and the spears the shields and the bows and the body armor and the commanders [were] behind all [the] house of Judah.
17 Sila ki t ap rebati miray la avèk sila ki te pote chaj yo te pran chaj yo nan yon men pou fè travay la e te kenbe yon zam nan lòt men an.
Who were rebuilding the wall and the [ones who] were carrying in burden [were] carrying [it] with [the] one hand his doing the work and one [hand] [was] holding the weapon.
18 Epi pou sila ki t ap bati yo, chak moun te mete yon nepe senti nan ren li pandan li t ap bati a, e mesye twonpèt la te rete toupre mwen.
And the builders each one sword his [were] girded on hips his and [were] building and the [one who] gave a blast on the ram's horn [was] beside me.
19 Mwen te pale ak gwo moun yo, chèf yo, ak tout lòt moun yo: “Travay la gran e vast e nou se separe sou miray la de yon lwen a yon lòt.
And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people the work [is] much and extensive and we [are] separate on the wall distant each from brother his.
20 Nenpòt kote ke nou tande twonpèt la, vin rive kote nou la a. Bondye nou an va goumen pou nou.”
In [the] place where you will hear [the] sound of the ram's horn there towards you will assemble to us God our he will fight for us.
21 Konsa, nou te kontinye travay la avèk mwatye nan yo ki te kenbe lans yo soti nan maten jis rive lè zetwal yo te vin parèt.
And we [were] doing the work and half of them [were] keeping hold on spears from when came up the dawn until came out the stars.
22 Nan lè sa a, mwen te di pèp la ankò: “Kite chak mesye yo ansanm avèk sèvitè li pase nwit lan Jérusalem pou yo kab fè yon bon gad pou nou pandan nwit lan, e sèvi kon yon ouvriye nan lajounen.”
Also at the time that I said to the people each one and servant his let them spend [the] night in [the] midst of Jerusalem and they will be for us the night a guard and the day work.
23 Konsa, ni mwen menm, ni frè m yo, sèvitè mwen yo, ni mesye nan gad ki te swiv mwen yo, okenn pa t rete rad yo, chak moun te pote zam li, menm lè yo ale chache dlo.
And not I and brothers my and servants my and [the] men of the guard who [were] behind me not we [were] stripping off clothes our each one weapon his the water.
