Neemi 7
1 Alò, lè miray la te fin rebati, mwen te fin monte pòt yo e gadyen pòtay yo avèk chantè yo avèk Levit yo te chwazi.
When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
2 Anplis, mwen te mete Hanani, frè mwen an, avèk Hanania, kòmandan fò a, an chaj Jérusalem. Paske li te yon nonm fidèl e te gen lakrent Bondye plis pase anpil moun.
Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
3 Mwen te di yo: “Pa kite pòtay Jérusalem yo ouvri jiskaske solèy la vin cho ak pandan gad yo an plas yo, fè yo fèmen pòt yo e boulonnen yo. Anplis, chwazi gad yo soti nan pèp Jérusalem nan, chak moun sou pòs li e chak moun devan pwòp kay pa li.”
And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
4 Alò, vil la te byen gran avèk anpil espas, men moun ladann yo pa t anpil e kay yo potko bati.
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5 Konsa, Bondye mwen an te mete sa nan kè m pou rasanble sitwayen enpòtan lavil yo, chèf yo avèk pèp la pou vin anrejistre pa lign zansèt yo. Mwen te twouve liv a zansèt a sila ki te monte an premye yo, e ladann, rekò swivan an:
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
6 Sila yo se pèp pwovens ki te monte soti an kaptivite nan egzil ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pote ale yo, e ki te retounen Jérusalem avèk Juda, chak moun nan lavil pa li;
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:
62 fis a Delaiah yo, fis a Tobiah yo, fis a Nekoda yo, sis-san-karann-de.

63 Nan prèt yo: fis a Hobaja yo, fis a Hakkots yo, fis a Barzillaï yo, ki te pran kon madanm youn nan fis a Barzillaï yo, Galaadit la e te rele selon non pa yo.
And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name).
64 Sila yo te fè rechèch nan achiv zansèt yo, men yo pa t kapab twouve yo; akoz sa, yo te konsidere pa pwòp e pa t kab fè sèvis kon prèt.
These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 Gouvènè a te pale yo ke yo pa t pou manje soti nan bagay sen pase tout lòt bagay yo, jiskaske yon prèt vin leve avèk Ourim avèk Thoumim nan.
The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
66 Asanble a an antye te karann-de-mil-twa-san-swasant moun,
The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
67 anplis, sèvitè avèk sèvant pa yo, sou sila yo te gen sèt-mil-twa-san-trann-sèt moun; epi yo te gen de-san-karann-senk gason avèk fanm nan chantè yo.
in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
68 Cheval pa yo te sèt-san-trann-sis; milèt yo, de-san-karann-senk;
They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
69 chamo yo, kat-san-trann-senk, bourik yo, si-mil-sèt-san-ven.
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
70 Kèk moun pami tèt lakay zansèt yo te fè don pou travay la. Gouvènè a te bay nan trezò a travay la mil ons an lò, senkant basen ak senk-san-trant nan vètman prèt yo.
Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
71 Kèk moun pami tèt lakay zansèt yo te bay nan trezò travay la ven-mil ons an lò ak de-mil-de-san min an ajan.
And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
72 Sa ki te bay pa tout lòt moun nan pèp la te ven-mil ons an lò, ak de-mil min an ajan, avèk swasann-sèt nan vètman prèt.
The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.
73 Alò, prèt yo, Levit yo, gadyen pòtay yo, chantè yo, kèk moun nan pèp la, sèvitè tanp yo ak tout Israël te rete nan vil pa yo. Lè setyèm mwa a te vin rive, fis Israël yo te vin antre nan pwòp vil pa yo.
So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
