Haitian Creole Version
12 ¶ Men lis prèt ak moun Levi ki te tounen nan peyi a ansanm ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, ak Jozye. Men non prèt yo: Seraja, Jirimeja, Esdras,
2 Amarya, Malouk, Atouch,
3 Chekanya, Reyoum, Meremòt,
4 Ido, Ginetoyi, Abija,
5 Mijamen, Maadya, Bilga,
6 Chemaja, Jojarib, Jedaja,
7 Salou, Amòk, Ilkija ak Jedaja. Mesye sa yo te chèf prèt yo nan tan Jozye. Ni yo ni prèt yo te soti nan yon sèl fanmi.
8 Men non moun Levi yo: Te gen yon premye gwoup ki te reskonsab chante kantik pou di Bondye mèsi. Se te Jozye, Bennwi, Kadmyèl, Cherebya, Jeouda ak Natanya.
9 Te gen yon lòt gwoup ki te kanpe anfas yo pou reponn yo lè y'ap chante. Se te Bakboukya, Ouni ak lòt moun Levi menm fanmi ak yo.
10 Jozye te papa Jojakim, Jojakim te papa Elyachib, Elyachib te papa Jojada,
11 Jojada te papa Jonatan, Jonatan te papa Jadwa.
12 Lè Jojakim te granprèt, men moun ki te chèf branch fanmi prèt yo: Meraja, chèf branch fanmi Seraja a, Ananya, chèf branch fanmi Jirimeja a,
13 Mechoulam, chèf branch fanmi Esdras la, Jokanan, chèf branch fanmi Amarya a,
14 Jonatan, chèf branch fanmi Melikou a, Jozèf, chèf branch fanmi Chebanya a,
15 Adna, chèf branch fanmi Arim lan, Elkayi, chèf branch fanmi Merayòt la,
16 Zekarya, chèf branch fanmi Ido a, Mechoulam, chèf branch fanmi Gineton an,
17 Zikri, chèf branch fanmi Abija a, ...chèf branch fanmi Minyamen, Piltayi, chèf branch fanmi Moadya a,
18 Chamwa, chèf branch fanmi Bilga a, Jonatan, chèf branch fanmi Chemaja a,
19 Matenayi, chèf branch fanmi Jojarib la, Ouzi, chèf branch fanmi Jedaja a,
20 Kalayi, chèf branch fanmi Salou a, Ebè, chèf branch fanmi Amòk la,
21 Achabya, chèf branch fanmi Ilkija a, Netaneèl, chèf branch fanmi Jedaja a.
22 Pandan tout tan Elyachib, Jodaja, Jokanan ak Jadwa te pase granprèt, yonn apre lòt, yo te enskri non chèf tout fanmi prèt yo ak non moun Levi yo nan gwo rejis ofisyèl tanp lan. Yo te kenbe rejis sa a jouk sou rèy wa Dariyis ki t'ap gouvènen peyi Pès la.
23 Pou branch fanmi Levi yo, yo te enskri nou chèf fanmi yo tou nan gwo rejis ofisyèl la, men lè yo rive sou tan Jokanan, pitit pitit Elyachib la, yo sispann fè sa.
24 Chèf moun Levi yo te Achabya, Jechwa, Bennwi ak Kadmyèl. Yo te separe moun Levi yo an gwoup. De gwoup te kanpe yonn anfas lòt pou chante lwanj Seyè a ak kantik pou di Bondye mèsi, yonn apre lòt, dapre lòd wa David, sèvitè Bondye, te kite a.
25 Men non moun ki t'ap sèvi tankou gad pòtay tanp lan: Se te Matanya, Bakboukya, Obadya, Mechoulam, Talmon ak Akoub. Yo te reskonsab veye depo magazen ki te bò pòtay tanp lan.
26 Moun sa yo t'ap viv nan tan Jojakim, pitit Jozye, pitit pitit Josadak la, te granprèt la, nan tan Neemi t'ap gouvènen an ak nan tan Esdras, prèt ki te direktè lalwa a, tou.
27 ¶ Lè yo tapral fè sèvis benediksyon miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo fè chache tout moun Levi yo toupatou kote yo te rete, yo mennen yo lavil Jerizalèm. Yo te vle fè yon gwo fèt pou sèvis benediksyon an ak kè kontan. t'ap gen chante pou di Bondye mèsi, avèk mizik, senbal, gita ak bandjo.
28 Se konsa mizisyen sanba yo, moun branch nan fanmi Levi yo, soti nan tout zòn ki bò lavil Jerizalèm, nan ti bouk ki bò Netofa yo, yo sanble.
29 Genyen tou ki te soti lavil Betgilgal ak andeyò Geba ak Azmavèt. Lè sa a, mizisyen yo te rete nan anpil ti bouk yo te bati nan tout zòn bò lavil Jerizalèm lan.
30 Prèt yo ak moun Levi yo fè sèvis pou mete tèt yo, pèp la, pòtay yo ak miray ranpa a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
31 Mwen fè tout chèf peyi Jida yo moute sou tèt miray ranpa a: Mwen fè de gwoup mizisyen ak moun pou chante pandan y'ap mache sou tèt miray la. Premye gwoup la al sou bò dwat nan direksyon Pòtay Fatra a.
32 Ozaya t'ap mache dèyè yo ak mwatye nan chèf peyi Jida yo.
33 Dèyè yo t'ap mache Azarya, Esdras, Mechoulam,
34 Jeouda, Benjamen, Chemaja ak Jirimeja.
35 Mesye sa yo se prèt yo te chwazi pou kònen twonpèt yo. Dèyè yo t'ap mache Zekarya, pitit Jonatan. Jonatan sa a te pitit Chemaja, Chemaja te pitit Matanya, Matanya te pitit Mika, Mika te pitit Zakou, Zakou te pitit Asaf.
36 Zekarya t'ap mache avèk lòt moun menm fanmi avè l' yo. Se te Chemaja, Azareèl, Milalayi, Gilalayi, Maayi, Netaneèl, Jeouda ak Anani. Yo tout yo te gen nan men yo tout kalite enstriman mizik wa David, sèvitè Bondye a, te konn jwe. Se Esdras, direktè lalwa a, ki t'ap mache devan premye gwoup sa a.
37 Lè yo rive Pòtay Fontenn dlo a, yo moute dwat devan yo, yo pran macheskalye ki mennen nan lavil wa David la, yo pase sou kote palè David la, yo moute sou tèt miray la ankò jouk yo rive Pòtay Dlo yo bò solèy leve.
38 Lòt gwoup la menm al sou bò gòch, sou tèt miray la: Mwen t'ap mache dèyè yo ansanm ak lòt mwatye moun yo. Nou pase bò gwo Fò Fou yo jouk nou rive sou gwo miray laj la.
39 Apre sa, nou pase anwo pòtay Efrayim lan, anwo vye Pòtay la, anwo Pòtay Pwason yo, sou kote Fò Ananeèl ak Fò Meya a jouk nou rive bò Pòtay Mouton yo. Nou rete bò Pòtay Gad Tanp lan.
40 Se konsa, de gwoup moun yo ki t'ap chante pou di Bondye mèsi a rive nan tanp Bondye a. Mwen te gen avè mwen mwatye nan chèf yo,
41 ansanm ak prèt ki t'ap kònen twonpèt yo: Elyakim, Maaseja, Menjamen, Mika, Elioenayi, Zekarya, Ananya, avèk twonpèt yo nan men yo,
42 ansanm avèk moun k'ap chante yo: Maseja, Chemaja, Eleaza, Ouzi, Jokanan, Malkija, Elam ak Azè. Se Jizraja ki t'ap mennen chante a.
43 Jou sa a, yo te ofri anpil gwo sakrifis pou Bondye. Tout pèp la t'ap fè fèt paske Seyè a te ba yo gwo kè kontan. Tout fanm yo ak tout timoun yo t'ap fete tou. Byen lwen yo te ka tande moun yo ki t'ap fete nan lavil Jerizalèm lan.
44 ¶ Lè sa a, yo chwazi kèk gason yo mete reskonsab chanm depo kote yo te mete pwovizyon yo, ofrann premye grenn ak premye fwi yo ranmase nan chak rekòt yo, ofrann ladim yo ak lòt ofrann pou moun yo fè pou tanp lan: Se mesye sa yo ki te gen pou ale nan tout jaden bò lavil yo, pou ranmase sa lalwa te mande pou bay prèt yo ak moun Levi yo. Tout moun peyi Jida te kontan ak travay moun Levi yo ak prèt yo t'ap yo fè.
45 Paske, yo t'ap fè sèvis Bondye yo san mank. Yo t'ap fè sèvis pou mete tout moun ak tout bagay nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Mizisyen yo ak gad pòtay tanp yo tou, tout moun t'ap fè travay yo dapre regleman wa David ak pitit li, wa Salomon, te bay.
46 Depi lontan, sou rèy David, nan tan Asaf te chèf mizisyen yo, te gen yon gwoup mizisyen ki te la pou chante lwanj Bondye ak lòt chante pou di l' mèsi.
47 Se konsa, nan tan Zowobabèl ak nan tan Neemi, tout pèp Izrayèl la te pote kado chak jou bay mizisyen yo ak gad pòtay tanp yo. Yo te pote renmèt moun Levi yo ofrann yo te mete apa pou Bondye. Moun Levi yo menm te bay prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, pòsyon pa yo.

New International Version
Priests and Levites
12 These were the priests(A) and Levites(B) who returned with Zerubbabel(C) son of Shealtiel(D) and with Joshua:(E)
Seraiah,(F) Jeremiah, Ezra,
2 Amariah, Malluk, Hattush,
3 Shekaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
4 Iddo,(G) Ginnethon,[a] Abijah,(H)
5 Mijamin,[b] Moadiah, Bilgah,
6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah,(I)
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah and Jedaiah.
These were the leaders of the priests and their associates in the days of Joshua.
8 The Levites were Jeshua,(J) Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and also Mattaniah,(K) who, together with his associates, was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving. 9 Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood opposite them in the services.
10 Joshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim the father of Eliashib,(L) Eliashib the father of Joiada, 11 Joiada the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan the father of Jaddua.
12 In the days of Joiakim, these were the heads of the priestly families:
of Seraiah’s family, Meraiah;
of Jeremiah’s, Hananiah;
13 of Ezra’s, Meshullam;
of Amariah’s, Jehohanan;
14 of Malluk’s, Jonathan;
of Shekaniah’s,[c] Joseph;
15 of Harim’s, Adna;
of Meremoth’s,[d] Helkai;
16 of Iddo’s,(M) Zechariah;
of Ginnethon’s, Meshullam;
17 of Abijah’s,(N) Zikri;
of Miniamin’s and of Moadiah’s, Piltai;
18 of Bilgah’s, Shammua;
of Shemaiah’s, Jehonathan;
19 of Joiarib’s, Mattenai;
of Jedaiah’s, Uzzi;
20 of Sallu’s, Kallai;
of Amok’s, Eber;
21 of Hilkiah’s, Hashabiah;
of Jedaiah’s, Nethanel.
22 The family heads of the Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan and Jaddua, as well as those of the priests, were recorded in the reign of Darius the Persian. 23 The family heads among the descendants of Levi up to the time of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the book of the annals. 24 And the leaders of the Levites(O) were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their associates, who stood opposite them to give praise and thanksgiving, one section responding to the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.(P)
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates. 26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Joshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest, the teacher of the Law.
Dedication of the Wall of Jerusalem
27 At the dedication(Q) of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals,(R) harps and lyres.(S) 28 The musicians also were brought together from the region around Jerusalem—from the villages of the Netophathites,(T) 29 from Beth Gilgal, and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the musicians had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem. 30 When the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially, they purified the people,(U) the gates and the wall.
31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on top of[e] the wall. I also assigned two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed on top of[f] the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.(V) 32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them, 33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, 34 Judah, Benjamin,(W) Shemaiah, Jeremiah, 35 as well as some priests with trumpets,(X) and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaph, 36 and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani—with musical instruments(Y) prescribed by David the man of God.(Z) Ezra(AA) the teacher of the Law led the procession. 37 At the Fountain Gate(AB) they continued directly up the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the site of David’s palace to the Water Gate(AC) on the east.
38 The second choir proceeded in the opposite direction. I followed them on top of[g] the wall, together with half the people—past the Tower of the Ovens(AD) to the Broad Wall,(AE) 39 over the Gate of Ephraim,(AF) the Jeshanah[h] Gate,(AG) the Fish Gate,(AH) the Tower of Hananel(AI) and the Tower of the Hundred,(AJ) as far as the Sheep Gate.(AK) At the Gate of the Guard they stopped.
40 The two choirs that gave thanks then took their places in the house of God; so did I, together with half the officials, 41 as well as the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah with their trumpets— 42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam and Ezer. The choirs sang under the direction of Jezrahiah. 43 And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
44 At that time men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms(AL) for the contributions, firstfruits and tithes.(AM) From the fields around the towns they were to bring into the storerooms the portions required by the Law for the priests and the Levites, for Judah was pleased with the ministering priests and Levites.(AN) 45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did also the musicians and gatekeepers, according to the commands of David(AO) and his son Solomon.(AP) 46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph,(AQ) there had been directors for the musicians and for the songs of praise(AR) and thanksgiving to God. 47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the musicians and the gatekeepers. They also set aside the portion for the other Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.(AS)
