Neemi 1
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Men istwa Neemi, pitit gason Akalya a, jan li menm li te rakonte l' la. Se te nan mwa Kislèv. Lè sa a, wa Atagzèsès te gen ventan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Mwen menm, Neemi, mwen te lavil Souz, kapital peyi a.
2 Anani, yonn nan frè m' yo, rive soti nan peyi Jida ansanm ak kèk lòt moun. Mwen mande yo nouvèl jwif yo, ti ponyen moun pèp Izrayèl ki te soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo epi ki tounen nan peyi yo a, ansanm ak nouvèl lavil Jerizalèm.
3 Yo reponn mwen: Moun ki tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo epi ki rete laba nan peyi nou an anba gwo pwoblèm. Yo pa konn sa pou yo fè tèlman yo wont. Kanta miray lavil Jerizalèm yo, yo te fin kraze. Gwo pòtay yo menm te menm jan an toujou depi dife te fin boule yo a.
4 Lè m' tande sa, mwen chita atè, mwen pran kriye. Mwen pase anpil jou konsa nan gwo lapenn. Mwen pa manje, mwen t'ap lapriyè Bondye ki nan syèl la.
5 ¶ Mwen di: -Aa, Seyè, Bondye ki nan syèl la, ou se yon Bondye ki gen pouvwa, yon Bondye ki fè moun gen krentif pou ou. Ou kenbe pawòl ou te bay nan kontra ou la. Ou toujou gen pitye pou moun ki renmen ou, pou moun ki swiv lòd ou yo.
6 Tanpri, voye je ou sou mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la. Panche zòrèy ou pou tande lapriyè m'ap fè nan pye ou koulye a, lajounen kou lannwit, pou sèvitè ou yo, moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Mwen rekonèt tou sa moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè ki mal devan je ou. Mwen rekonèt ni mwen menm ni zansèt mwen yo nou fè peche.
7 Nou aji mal anpil avè ou. Nou pa swiv tout kòmandman, tout lòd ak tout regleman ou te bay Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, pou nou.
8 Koulye a, chonje pawòl ou te bay Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, lòd ki di nou: Si nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, nou pa kenbe pawòl mwen yo, m'ap gaye nou sou latè nan mitan tout lòt nasyon yo.
9 Men, si nou tounen vin jwenn mwen, si nou pran swiv kòmandman mwen yo pou nou fè sa m' di nou fè, yo te mèt depòte nou jouk byen lwen nan dènye bout latè a, m'ap sanble nou, m'ap fè nou tounen kote mwen chwazi pou m' rete a.
10 Enben! Seyè, men yo, moun k'ap sèvi ou yo. Men pèp ou a, pèp ou te delivre ak gwo pouvwa ou ak fòs ponyèt ou a.
11 Aa! Seyè, panche zòrèy ou pou tande lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou, m'ap fè nan pye ou, lapriyè tout sèvitè ou yo ki pran plezi nan gen krentif pou ou. Tanpri, Seyè, fè tout bagay mache byen pou mwen jòdi a. Fè wa a resevwa m' byen. Lè sa a, mwen te chèf kanbiz wa a.

Nehemiah’s Prayer
1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:
In the month of Kislev(A) in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa,(B) 2 Hanani,(C) one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant(D) that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.(E)”
4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept.(F) For some days I mourned and fasted(G) and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said:
“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God,(H) who keeps his covenant of love(I) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear(J) the prayer(K) your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess(L) the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly(M) toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
8 “Remember(N) the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter(O) you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather(P) them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’(Q)
10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand.(R) 11 Lord, let your ear be attentive(S) to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor(T) in the presence of this man.”
I was cupbearer(U) to the king.

Nehemiah Prays for His People
1 The words of (A)Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah.
It came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the (B)twentieth year, as I was in (C)Shushan[a] the [b]citadel, 2 that (D)Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said to me, “The survivors who are left from the captivity in the (E)province are there in great distress and (F)reproach. (G)The wall of Jerusalem (H)is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”
4 So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
5 And I said: “I pray, (I)Lord God of heaven, O great and (J)awesome God, (K)You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love [c]You and observe [d]Your commandments, 6 please let Your ear be attentive and (L)Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and (M)confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned. 7 (N)We have acted very corruptly against You, and have (O)not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. 8 Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, (P)‘If you [e]are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations; 9 (Q)but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, (R)though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’ 10 (S)Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand. 11 O Lord, I pray, please (T)let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who (U)desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”
For I was the king’s (V)cupbearer.
