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.
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the 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.
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
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 said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his 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 wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not 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:
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this 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 children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,

These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.
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 told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.
