< Neemi 6 >

1 Alò, lè l te rapòte a Sanballat, Tobija, Guéschem, Arab la, avèk lòt lènmi nou yo, ke mwen te rebati miray la e ke pa t gen brèch ankò ladann; malgre nan moman sa a, nou potko monte pòt nan pòtay yo,
Forsothe it was doon, whanne Sanaballath hadde herd, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie, and oure other enemyes, that Y hadde bildide the wal, and nomore brekyng was therynne; sotheli `til to that tyme Y hadde not set leeuys of schittyng in the yatis;
2 Sanballat avèk Guéschem te voye kote mwen epi te di: “Vini, annou reyini ansanm nan Chephirim nan plèn Ono.” Men se mal ke yo te gen entansyon pou fè m.
Sanaballath, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie senten to me, and seiden, Come thou, and smyte we boond of pees in calues, `in o feeld; forsothe thei thouyten for to do yuel to me.
3 Konsa, mwen te voye mesaje yo kote yo. Mwen te di: “Mwen ap fè yon gwo travay, e mwen p ap kab desann. Poukisa travay la ta dwe rete pandan mwen kite li pou vin kote nou?”
Therfor Y sente messangeris to hem, and Y seide, Y make a greet werk, and Y mai not go doun, lest perauenture it be doon retchelesli, whanne Y come, and go doun to you.
4 Yo te voye kote mwen kat fwa konsa e mwen te reponn yo menm jan an.
Sotheli thei senten to me `bi this word bi foure tymes, and Y answeride to hem by the formere word.
5 Konsa, Sanballat te voye sèvitè li kote mwen yon senkyèm fwa avèk yon lèt ouvri nan men l.
And Sanaballath sente to me the fyuethe tyme bi the formere word his child; and he hadde in his hond a pistle writun in this maner;
6 Ladann, li te ekri: “Gen yon rapò k ap fèt pami nasyon yo, e Gaschmu ap di ke ou menm avèk Jwif yo gen plan pou fè rebelyon. Ke se pou sa ke w ap rebati miray la. Epi se ou menm ki va wa yo, selon rapò yo.
It is herd among hethene men, and Gosem seide, that thou and the Jewis thenken for to rebelle, and therfor ye bilden, and thou wolt `reise thee king on hem;
7 Anplis ke ou te chwazi pwofèt Jérusalem yo pou fè pwoklamasyon pou ou menm, pou ‘Yon wa nan Juda!’ Konsa, yon rapò va voye kote wa a sou rapò sila yo. Pou sa a, vin kounye a, pou nou fè konsèy ansanm.”
for which cause also thou hast set profetis, that prechen of thee in Jerusalem, and seien, A king is in Jerusalem; the king schal here these wordis; therfor come thou now, that we take counsel togidere.
8 Konsa, mwen te voye kote li. Mwen te di: “Kalite bagay sa yo ke w ap pale yo, pa t janm fèt, men w ap envante yo nan pwòp panse ou.”
And Y sente to hem, and seide, It is not doon bi these wordis whiche thou spekist; for of thin herte thou makist these thingis.
9 Paske, yo tout t ap eseye fè nou pè e t ap reflechi: “Yo va vin dekouraje avèk travay la, e li p ap fèt.” Men koulye a, O Bondye ranfòse men m.
Alle these men maden vs aferd, and thouyten that oure hondis schulden ceesse fro werkis, that we schulden reste; for which cause Y coumfortide more myn hond.
10 Lè m te antre lakay Schemaeja, fis a Delaja a, fis a Mehétabeel la, ki pa t kab kite lakay li, li te di: “Annou reyini ansanm lakay Bondye a, anndan tanp lan, annou fèmen pòt tanp yo, paske yo ap vin touye ou. Wi, y ap vini pandan lannwit la pou touye ou.”
And Y entride priueli in to the hows of Samaie, sone of Dalie, the sone of Methabehel, which seide, Trete we with vs silf in the hows of God, in the myddis of the temple, and close we the yatis of the hows; for thei schulen come to sle thee, `and thei schulen come `bi niyt to sle thee.
11 Men mwen te di: “Èske yon nonm tankou mwen ta dwe sove ale kache? Epi èske yon moun tankou mwen ta antre nan tanp lan pou sove lavi li? Mwen p ap antre.”
And Y seide, Whether ony man lijk me fledde, and who as Y schal entre in to the temple, and schal lyue?
12 Konsa, mwen te vin apèsi ke anverite, Bondye pa t voye li, men li te eksprime pwofesi a kont mwen akoz Tobija avèk Sanballat te anplwaye li.
Y schal not entre. And Y vndurstood that God `hadde not sent hym, but `he spak as profesiynge to me; and Tobie and Sanaballath `hadden hirid hym for meede.
13 Li te anplwaye li pou rezon sa a; pou m ta kapab vin pè pou aji konsa e peche, pou yo menm ta kab gen yon move rapò kon repwòch kont mwen.
For he hadde take prijs, that Y schulde be aferd, and do, and that Y schulde do synne; and thei schulden haue yuel, which thei schulden putte to me with schenschip.
14 Sonje, O Bondye mwen, Tobija avèk Sanballat selon zèv pa yo, e anplis, pwofetès la, Noadia, ak lòt pwofèt ki te eseye fè m pè yo.
Lord, haue mynde of me, for Tobye and Sanaballath, bi siche werkis `of hem; but also of Noadie, the profete, and of othere profetis, that maden me aferd.
15 Konsa, miray la te fini nan venn-senkyèm jou mwa Elul la, sou senkant-de jou.
Forsothe the wal was fillid in the fyue and twentithe dai of the monethe Ebul, in two and fifti daies.
16 Lè tout lènmi nou yo te tande e tout nasyon ki antoure nou yo, te wè, yo te pèdi kouraj, paske yo te rekonèt ke travay sa a te fèt avèk èd Bondye pa nou an.
Sotheli it was doon, whanne alle oure enemyes hadden herd, that alle hethene men dredden, that weren in oure cumpas, and thei felden doun with ynne hem silf, and wiste, that this work was maad of God.
17 Anplis, nan jou sa yo, anpil lèt te sòti nan gwo moun a Juda yo bay Tobija e lèt Tobija yo te rive kote yo.
But also in tho daies many pistlis of the principal men of Jewis weren sent to Tobie, and camen fro Tobie to hem.
18 Paske anpil nan yo te mare pa sèman ak li menm, paske li te bofis a Schecania, fis a Arach la e fis pa li a, Jochanan te marye ak fi a Meschullam nan, fis a Bérékia a.
For many men weren in Judee, and hadden his ooth; for he hadde weddid the douyter of Sechenye, the sone of Rotel; and Johannam, his sone, hadde take the douyter of Mosallam, sone of Barachie.
19 Anplis, yo t ap pale afè bon zèv li nan prezans mwen e te bay li rapò a pawòl mwen yo.
But also thei preisiden hym bifor me, and telden my wordis to hym; and Tobie sente lettris, for to make me aferd.
