Ezra 3
1 By the seventh month, the Israelites had settled in their towns, and the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem.
Alò, lè setyèm mwa a te fin rive e fis Israël yo te nan vil yo, pèp la, kon yon sèl moun, te reyini ansanm Jérusalem.
2 Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow priests, along with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates, began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.
Konsa, Josué, fis a Jotsadak la avèk frè li yo, prèt yo e Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la avèk frè li yo, te leve e te bati lotèl Bondye Israël la pou ofri ofrann brile sou li, kon sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la, nonm Bondye a.
3 They set up the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD—both the morning and evening burnt offerings—even though they feared the people of the land.
Pou sa, yo te mete lotèl la sou fondasyon li, malgre yo te krent anpil akoz pèp a nasyon yo, epi yo te ofri ofrann brile yo sou li a SENYÈ a, ofrann brile nan maten ak nan aswè.
4 They also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles in accordance with what is written, and they offered burnt offerings daily based on the number prescribed for each day.
Yo te selebre Fèt Tonèl yo kon sa ekri a, e te fè fòs kantite ofrann brile ki te etabli chak jou yo, selon obligasyon chak jou ke òdonans lan egzije yo;
5 After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as all the freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
epi apre, te genyen yon ofrann brile san rete. Anplis, pou nouvèl lin e pou tout fèt SENYÈ a ki te òdone e konsakre yo, e soti nan tout moun ki te ofri yon ofrann bòn volonte a SENYÈ a.
6 On the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.
Soti nan premye jou nan setyèm mwa a, yo te kòmanse ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ a, men fondasyon tanp lan potko poze.
7 They gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food and drink and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as authorized by Cyrus king of Persia.
Yo te vèse bay lajan a mason yo avèk chapant yo avèk manje, bagay pou bwè, lwil pou Sidonyen avèk Tiryen yo pou pote bwa sèd sòti Liban pou rive nan lanmè Japho a, selon pèmisyon ke yo te resevwa soti nan Cyrus, wa Perse la.
8 In the second month of the second year after they had arrived at the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their associates including the priests, the Levites, and all who had returned to Jerusalem from the captivity, began the work. They appointed Levites twenty years of age or older to supervise the construction of the house of the LORD.
Alò, nan dezyèm ane a, depi yo te rive lakay Bondye Jérusalem nan dezyèm mwa a, Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la avèk Josué, fis a Jotsadak la avèk tout lòt frè pa yo, prèt yo avèk Levit yo e tout moun ki te vini soti an kaptivite pou rive Jérusalem, te kòmanse èv la e te apwente Levit yo ak laj a ventan oswa plis pou sipèvize travay lakay SENYÈ a.
9 So Jeshua and his sons and brothers, Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Yehudah), and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together to supervise those working on the house of God.
Konsa, Josué avèk fis li yo ak frè li yo te kanpe ansanm avèk Kadmiel ak fis pa li yo, fis a Juda yo, fis a Hénadad yo avèk fis pa yo ak frè yo, Levit yo, pou sipèvize ouvriye nan tanp Bondye a.
10 When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their positions to praise the LORD, as David king of Israel had prescribed.
Alò, lè ouvriye yo te fin poze fondasyon tanp SENYÈ a, prèt yo te kanpe ak vètman pa yo avèk twonpèt yo, e Levit yo, fis a Asaph yo, avèk senbal yo, pou louwe SENYÈ a selon enstriksyon a Wa David de Israël la.
11 And they sang responsively with praise and thanksgiving to the LORD: “For He is good; for His loving devotion to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
Yo te chante, te fè lwanj e te bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Li bon, Paske lanmou dous Li sou Israël jis pou tout tan.” Epi tout pèp la te leve yon gran kri anlè lè yo te louwe SENYÈ a, akoz fondasyon lakay SENYÈ a te fin poze.
12 But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads who had seen the first temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple. Still, many others shouted joyfully.
Men anpil nan prèt yo avèk Levit yo avèk chèf lakay zansèt yo, ansyen granmoun ki te konn wè premye tanp lan, te kriye avèk yon gran vwa lè fondasyon a kay sila a te poze devan zye yo. Anpil nan yo te rele fò avèk jwa,
13 The people could not distinguish the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people were making so much noise. And the sound was heard from afar.
jiskaske pèp la pa t kab distenge antre son lajwa ak son kriye a pèp la, paske pèp la te rele ak gran vwa e son lan te koute soti byen lwen.
