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.
Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and 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 put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many 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.”
I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
4 Alò, vil la te byen gran avèk anpil espas, men moun ladann yo pa t anpil e kay yo potko bati.
In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't 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:
My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
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;
This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.

They searched for a record of them in the genealogies, but their names weren't found, so they were barred from serving as priests.
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.
