Ezra 8
1 Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.
Men lis chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak non zansèt yo ki te pati ansanm avè m' soti lavil Babilòn pou moute lavil Jerizalèm sou rèy wa Atagzèsès:
2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush;

13 And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
Pou branch fanmi Adonikam an, se te Elifelèt, Jeyèl ak Chemaja. Yo te gen swasant gason avèk yo. Moun sa yo te vin apre.
14 And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
Outayi, pitit gason Zaboud la, chèf branch fanmi Bigvayi a. Li te gen swasandis gason avè l'.
15 And I made them come together by the river flowing to Ahava; and we were there in tents for three days: and after viewing the people and the priests I saw that no sons of Levi were there.
Mwen sanble tout moun sa yo bò gwo kannal ki mennen dlo nan lavil Aava a. Nou pase twa jou la. Antan nou la, mwen remake nou te gen prèt nan gwoup la, men pa t' gen moun Levi.
16 Then I sent for Eliezer and Ariel and Shemaiah and Elnathan Jarib and Elnathan and Nathan and Zechariah and Meshullam, all responsible men; and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise men.
Lè sa a, mwen fè chache nèf chèf sa yo: Elyezè, Aryèl, Chemaja, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan, Natan, Zakaraya ak Mechoulam ansanm ak direktè sa yo: Jojarib ak Elnatan, de moun ki konn esplike lalwa a.
17 And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.
Mwen voye yo bò kote Ido, chèf kominote Kasifya a. Mwen esplike yo tou sa pou yo di Ido ak kòlèg li yo ki konn tout travay pou fèt nan tanp lan, epi ki t'ap viv ansanm nan kominote Kasifya a, pou yo ka fè nou jwenn kèk gason pou travay nan tanp Bondye nou an.
18 And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;
Se konsa, avèk benediksyon Bondye ki te sou nou, yo ban nou Cherebya, yon nonm lespri, ki te soti nan branch fanmi Makli, yonn nan pitit gason Levi yo ki li menm te pitit Izrayèl. Te gen dizwit nan pitit li yo ak fanmi l' yo ki te vini ak li tou.
19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
Yo ban nou ankò Achabya ak Jechaya, frè li a, tou de moun branch fanmi Merari. Te gen vin nan pitit gason yo ki te vini ak yo tou.
20 And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.
Te gen tou desanven (220) travayè pou tanp lan. Se wa David ak chèf li yo ki te bay zansèt moun sa yo reskonsablite pou ede moun Levi yo nan sèvis yo. Yo te pran non tout moun sa yo.
21 Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.
Antan nou la bò kannal Aava a, mwen bay lòd pou tout moun fè jèn, pou nou soumèt nou devan Bondye, pou mande l' pou nou fè yon bon vwayaj, pou l' pwoteje nou, pitit nou yo ansanm ak tout byen nou yo.
22 For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.
Mwen te wont mande wa a yon lame ak kavalye pou pwoteje nou si yon lènmi ta atake nou sou wout, paske mwen te fin di wa a konsa Bondye nou an ap pwoteje tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li, l'ap beni yo. Konsa tou, l'ap fache sou moun ki vire do ba li, l'ap pini yo.
23 So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.
Se konsa nou fè jèn, nou lapriyè Bondye pou l' pwoteje nou. Epi li reponn lapriyè nou yo.
24 So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
Apre sa, mwen chwazi douz moun nan chèf prèt yo: se te Cherebya, Achabya ak dis lòt chèf prèt.
25 And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:
Mwen pran pèz tout ajan ak tout lò ak tout lòt veso wa a, konseye l' yo ak lòt chèf ki avè l' yo te bay pou sèvi nan tanp Bondye nou an ansanm ak ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo, epi mwen renmèt yo bay douz chèf prèt yo.
26 Measuring into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents' weight, and a hundred talents of gold,
Men sa mwen te renmèt yo nan men: nèfsandouzmil (912.000) ons ajan, ak san veso an ajan ki te peze demilkatsan (2.400) ons, sansenkantwitmil (158.000) ons lò,
27 And twenty gold basins, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of the best bright brass, equal in value to gold.
ak vin bòl an lò ki te peze desanswasanndis (270) ons. Te gen de bèl bòl an kwiv dore ki te gen menm valè ak bòl an lò yo.
28 And I said to them, You are holy to the Lord and the vessels are holy: and the silver and the gold are an offering freely given to the Lord, the God of your fathers.
Mwen di yo: Nou menm, nou se moun yo mete apa pou sèvis Seyè a. Veso sa yo, yo mete yo apa pou Seyè a tou. Ajan sa yo ak lò sa yo se ofrann moun yo te fè lide ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo.
29 Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.
Nou reskonsab yo jouk n'a rive nan tanp lan lavil Jerizalèm. Rive la, nan chanm prèt yo ki nan tanp Bondye a, n'a peze yo ankò devan chèf prèt yo ak chèf moun Levi yo, devan chèf branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, epi n'a renmèt yo li.
30 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
Se konsa, lè mwen fin peze ajan an, lò a ak veso yo, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo pran yo nan men m', pou pote yo jouk lavil Jerizalèm, nan tanp Bondye nou an.
31 Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.
Sou douzyèm jou premye mwa a, nou kite kote nou te ye a bò kannal Aava a, nou pati pou lavil Jerizalèm. Bondye nou an te la ak nou sou tout wout la. Li pwoteje nou, li pa kite okenn lènmi atake nou, li pa kite nou tonbe nan okenn anbiskad vòlò ta ka pare sou wout pou nou.
32 And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.
Nou rive lavil Jerizalèm, nou pase twa jou ap poze kò nou.
33 And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;
Sou katriyèm jou a, n' al nan tanp Bondye nou an, yo peze ajan an, lò a ak veso yo, epi yo renmèt yo nan men Meremòt, prèt la, pitit gason Ouri a. Avèk li te gen Eleaza, pitit gason Fineas la, ak de moun Levi: Jozabad, pitit gason Jozye, ak Noadja, pitit gason Bennwi a.
34 All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.
Yo konte, yo peze, yo jwenn tout bagay, anyen pa t' manke. Lè sa a, yo fè yon lis tou sa yo te peze, epi yo sere lis la.
35 And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.
Moun ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Yo ofri douz towo pou tout pèp Izrayèl la, katrevensèz belye mouton, swasanndisèt ti mouton ak douz bouk kabrit pou mande Bondye padon pou peche yo. Yo boule tout bèt sa yo nèt nan dife pou Seyè a.
36 And they gave the king's orders to the king's captains and the rulers across the river, and they gave the people and the house of God the help which was needed.
Yo pran tout dokiman wa a te ba yo, yo renmèt prefè wa yo ak gouvènè yo ki reskonsab pwovens lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la. Se konsa, tout chèf sa yo vin ede pèp la, yo bay konkou yo pou tanp Bondye a.
