Neemi 8
1 Konsa, tout pèp la te rasanble kon yon sèl moun nan plas ki te devan Pòtay Dlo a. E yo te pale ak Esdras, skrib la, pou mennen liv lalwa Moïse la ke SENYÈ a te bay a Israël la.
And the seuenthe monethe `was comun vndur Esdras and Neemye; sotheli the sones of Israel weren in her cytees. And al the puple was gaderid togydere as o man, to the street which is bifor the yate of watris. And thei seiden to Esdras, the scribe, that he schulde brynge the book of the lawe of Moises, which the Lord hadde comaundid to Israel.
2 Epi Esdras, prèt la, te pote lalwa a devan asanble a mesye yo avèk fanm yo, tout moun te kab koute avèk bon konprann, nan premye jou nan setyèm mwa a.
Therfor Esdras, the preest, brouyte the lawe bifor the multitude of men and of wymmen, and bifor alle that myyten vndurstonde, `in the firste day of the seuenth monethe.
3 Li te li nan liv la devan plas ki te devan Pòtay Dlo a soti granmaten jis rive midi, nan prezans a mesye ak fanm ki te atantif a liv lalwa a.
And he redde in it opynli in the street that was bifor the yate of watris, fro the morewtid `til to myddai, in the siyt of men and of wymmen and of wise men; and the eeris of al the puple weren reisid to the book.
4 Esdras, skrib la, te kanpe devan yon etaj an bwa ki te fèt eksprè pou afè sila a. Akote li te kanpe Matthithia, Schéma, Anaja, Urie, Hilkija, avèk Maaséja adwat li e agoch li, Pedaja, Mischaël, Malkija, Haschum, Haschbaddana, Zacharie ak Meschullam.
Forsothe Esdras the writere stood on the grees of tree, which he hadde maad to speke theron; and Mathatie, and Semma, and Ananye, and Vrie, and Elchie, and Maasie stoden bisidis hym at his riyt half; and Phadaie, Mysael, and Melchie, Assum, and Aseph, Dana, and Zacharie, and Mosollam stoden at the left half.
5 Esdras te ouvri liv la devan zye tout pèp la, paske li te kanpe pi wo ke tout pèp la. Lè li te ouvri li, tout pèp la te kanpe.
And Esdras openyde the book bifor al the puple; for he apperide ouer al the puple; and whanne he hadde openyd the book, al the puple stood.
6 Epi Esdras te beni SENYÈ a, gran Bondye a. Tout pèp la te reponn: “Amen, Amen,” pandan yo te leve men yo. Yo te bese ba pou te adore SENYÈ a avèk figi yo jis atè.
And Esdras blesside the Lord God with greet vois; and al the puple answeride, Amen, Amen, reisynge her hondis. And thei weren bowid, and thei worschipiden God, lowli on the erthe.
7 Anplis, Josué, Bani, Schérébia, Jamin, Akkub, Schabbethaï, Hodija, Maaséja, Kelitha, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaja, avèk Levit yo te eksplike lalwa a pèp la pandan pèp la te rete an plas.
Forsothe Josue, and Baany, and Serebie, Jamyn, Acub, Septhai, Odia, Maasie, Celitha, Ayarie, Jozabeth, Anan, Phallaie, dekenes, maden silence in the puple for to here the lawe. Sotheli the puple stood in her degree.
8 Yo te li nan liv la, soti nan lalwa Bondye a, e te tradwi pou fè yo konprann, pou yo ta kab byen sezi sa ki te li a.
And thei redden in the book of Goddis lawe distinctli, `ether atreet, and opynli to vndurstonde; `and thei vndurstoden, whanne it was red.
9 Néhémie, ki te gouvènè a ak Esdras, prèt la ak skrib, avèk Levit ki te enstwi pèp la, te di a tout pèp la: “Jou sa a sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Pa fè dèy, ni pa kriye.” Paske, tout pèp la t ap kriye lè yo te tande pawòl lalwa yo.
Forsothe Neemye seide, he is Athersata, and Esdras, the preest and writere, and the dekenes, expownynge to al the puple, It is a dai halewid to `oure Lord God; nyle ye morne, and nyle ye wepe. For al the puple wepte, whanne it herde the wordis of the lawe.
10 Konsa, li te di yo: “Ale manje grès, bwè sa ki dous e voye bay pòsyon a sila ki pa t prepare yo; paske jou sa a sen a SENYÈ nou an. Pa fè lapèn ak soufrans, paske lajwa SENYÈ a se fòs nou.”
And he seide to hem, Go ye, and `ete ye fatte thingis, and drynke ye wiyn `maad swete with hony, and sende ye partis to hem, that maden not redi to hem silf, for it is an hooli dai of the Lord; `nyle ye be sory, for the ioye of the Lord is youre strengthe.
11 Konsa, Levit yo te kalme tout pèp la, epi te di: “Rete kalm, paske jou a sen. Pa fè doulè.”
Sotheli the dekenes maden silence in al the puple, and seiden, Be ye stille, for it is an hooli dai, and `nyle ye make sorewe.
12 Tout pèp la te Soti pou manje, bwè e voye bay pòsyon pou selebre yon gwo fèt, akoz yo te konprann pawòl ke yo te fenk tande.
Therfor al the puple yede for to ete, and drynke, and to sende partis, and `to make greet gladnesse; for thei vndurstoden the wordis, whiche he hadde tauyt hem.
13 Nan dezyèm jou fèt la, tout chèf zansèt a tout pèp la, prèt yo ak Levit yo te rasanble kote Esdras, skrib la, pou yo ta kab ranmase konesans nan pawòl lalwa yo.
And in the secound dai the princes of meynees, alle the puplis, prestis, and dekenes, weren gaderid togidere to Esdras, the writere, that he schulde expowne to hem the wordis of the lawe.
14 Yo te twouve ekri nan lalwa a jan SENYÈ a te kòmande pa Moïse ke fis Israël yo ta dwe viv nan tonèl pandan fèt setyèm mwa a.
And thei foundun writun in the lawe, that the Lord comaundide `in the hond of Moyses, that the sones of Israel dwelle in tabernaclis in the solempne dai, in the seuenthe moneth;
15 Konsa, yo te fè pwoklamasyon an, e te pwoklame li nan tout vil pa yo ak Jérusalem. Yo te di: “Ale deyò vè ti mòn yo e pote branch oliv yo, avèk branch oliv mawon yo, branch bwa bazilik yo, branch palmis yo, avèk branch nan lòt kalite bwa ak fèy, pou fè tonèl yo, jan sa ekri a.”
and that thei preche, and pupplische a vois in alle her citees, and in Jerusalem; and seie, Go ye out in to the hil, and brynge ye bowis of olyue, and bowis of the faireste tree, the bowis of a myrte tree, and the braunchis of a palm tree, and the bowis of a `tree ful of wode, that tabernaclis be maad, as it is writun.
16 Pou sa, pèp la te sòti e te pote yo pou fè tonèl yo pou yo menm, chak nan twati pla anwo kay pa yo, oswa nan lakou yo, nan lakou lakay Bondye a, nan plas kote Pòtay Dlo a, e nan plas kote Pòtay Ephraïm nan.
And al the puple yede out, and thei brouyten, and maden to hem silf tabernaclis, `ech man in `his hows roof, and in her stretis, `ether foryerdis, and in the large placis of Goddis hows, and in the street of the yate of watris, and in the street of the yate of Effraym.
17 Tout asanble a sila ki te retounen soti an kaptivite yo te fè tonèl yo, e te rete ladann yo. Fis Israël yo, anverite, pa t konn fè sa depi nan jou a Josué yo, fis a Nun nan, jis rive nan jou sa a. Epi te gen gwo rejwisans.
Therfor al the chirche of hem, that camen ayen fro caytifte, made tabernaclis, and thei dwelliden in tabernaclis. For the sones of Israel hadden not do siche thingis fro the daies of Josue, sone of Nun, `til to that dai; and ful greet gladnesse was.
18 Li te li soti nan liv lalwa a chak jou, soti nan premye jou a, jis rive nan dènye jou a. Yo te selebre fèt la pandan sèt jou, e nan uityèm jou a, te gen yon asanble solanèl selon òdonans lan.
Forsothe Esdras radde in the book of Goddis lawe bi alle daies, fro the firste dai `til to the laste dai; and thei maden solempnytee bi seuene daies, and in the eiyte day thei maden a gaderyng of siluer, `bi the custom.
