Ezra 3
1 And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.
Lè pou setyèm mwa lanne jwif yo rive, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te gen tan chita lakay yo nan lavil yo. Lè sa a, yo tout yo sanble lavil Jerizalèm.
2 Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.
Jozye, pitit gason Jeozadak la, ak tout prèt parèy li yo leve ansanm ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, ak tout fanmi l' yo, yo rebati lotèl Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pou yo te ka boule ofrann bèt sou li, dapre regleman ki ekri nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a.
3 They put the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the people of the countries: and they made burned offerings on it to the Lord, even burned offerings morning and evening.
Atout yo te pè lòt moun yo ki t'ap viv nan peyi a, yo rebati lotèl la menm kote li te ye anvan an. Epi yo tanmen boule bèt sou li pou Seyè a, chak maten ak chak aswè.
4 And they kept the feast of tents, as it is recorded, making the regular burned offerings every day by number, as it is ordered; for every day what was needed.
Yo fete fèt Joupa yo, dapre sa ki ekri a. Chak jou yo te ofri kantite bèt yo te dwe boule pou jou sa a.
5 And after that, the regular burned offering and the offerings for the new moons and all the fixed feasts of the Lord which had been made holy, and the offering of everyone who freely gave his offering to the Lord.
Apre sa, yo ofri bèt pou yo boule chak jou a, bèt pou yo boule chak fèt lalin nouvèl yo, ak bèt pou tout lòt jou y'ap fè fèt pou Seyè a, ansanm ak tout lòt ofrann moun yo vle fè pou Seyè a san se pa li ki mande yo fè l'.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they made a start with the burned offerings, but the base of the Temple of the Lord had still not been put in its place.
Pèp la pa t' ankò mete men nan tanp lan, men depi premye jou setyèm mwa a yo te konmanse ap boule bèt nèt pou Seyè a.
7 And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.
Pèp la bay lajan pou peye bòs ki t'ap taye wòch yo ak bòs chapant yo. Yo bay pwovizyon, bwason ak lwil pou yo voye lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon pou bwa sèd y'ap achte nan men moun la yo. Bwa yo te soti peyi Liban, yo pase sou lanmè, yo debake Jope. Yo fè tou sa dapre otorizasyon Siris, wa peyi Pès la, te ba yo.
8 Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.
Te gen ennan yon mwa depi yo te rive lavil Jerizalèm sou anplasman tanp Seyè a, lè Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, ak Jozye, pitit gason Jeozadak la, te mete men nan travay la ansanm ak rès moun pèp la, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo, avèk tout moun ki te tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pran tout moun Levi ki te gen ventan osinon plis, yo mete yo anchaj pou dirije tout travay ki t'ap fèt nan tanp Seyè a.
9 Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.
Se konsa Jozye, pitit gason l' yo ak lòt fanmi li yo, ansanm ak Kadmyèl ak pitit gason l' yo, moun fanmi Jida, mete tèt yo ansanm, yo pran reskonsablite travay ki t'ap fèt nan tanp Bondye a.
10 And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel.
Lè bòs mason yo te konmanse ak premye fondasyon tanp Seyè a, prèt yo avèk gwo rad yo sou yo, twonpèt yo nan men yo, vin pran plas yo ansanm ak moun Levi branch fanmi Asaf yo ak tanbouren yo nan men yo. Yo te fè lwanj Seyè a dapre regleman David, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te bay depi lontan.
11 And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.
Yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, yo t'ap di l' mèsi, yo t'ap chante yonn apre lòt: Ala bon Seyè a bon! Li p'ap janm sispann renmen pèp Izrayèl la Tout pèp la t'ap rele byen fò. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, paske yo t'ap mete men nan travay fondasyon tanp Seyè a.
12 But a number of the priests and Levites and the heads of families, old men who had seen the first house, when the base of this house was put down before their eyes, were overcome with weeping; and a number were crying out with joy:
Te gen anpil prèt, anpil moun Levi ak anpil chèf fanmi ki te fin vye granmoun. Yo te konnen ansyen tanp lan anvan li te kraze. Lè yo wè fondasyon tanp lan t'ap moute ankò devan je yo, genyen ki t'ap kriye ak dlo nan je. Men, anpil lòt t'ap rele sitèlman yo te kontan.
13 So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.
Men, pesonn pa t' ka di kilès ki t'ap rele ak kè kontan, kilès ki t'ap plede kriye ak dlo nan je, paske tout pèp la t'ap rele ansanm byen fò. Moun te ka tande yo byen lwen.
