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.
Then, after the wall was built, and I set up the double doors, and I enrolled the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the Levites,
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.
I instructed Hanani, my brother, and Hananiah, the leader of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed to be a truthful man, fearing God more than the others, )
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 said to them: “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot.” And while they were standing there, the gates were closed and barred. And I stationed guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one in his turn, and each one opposite his own house.
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 great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.
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:
But God had given to my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the magistrates, and the common people, so that I might enroll them. And I found a book of the census of those who first went up, and in it there was found written:
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 sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity of the transmigration, those whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had taken away, and who returned into Jerusalem and Judea, each one to his own city.
