< Ezra 1 >

1 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
Alò, nan premye ane Cyrus, wa a Perse la, pou pawòl SENYÈ a te kab akonpli pa bouch a Jérémie, SENYÈ a te vire lespri a Cyrus, wa Perse la, pou l te voye yon pwoklamasyon toupatou nan wayòm li an, e anplis pou l ta ekri li pou te di:
2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
“Konsa pale Cyrus, wa a Perse la, ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye Syèl la, te ban mwen tout wayòm yo sou latè epi Li te chwazi mwen pou bati yon kay pou Li Jérusalem, ki nan Juda.
3 Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah the God of Israel — he is God — which is at Jerusalem.
Nenpòt moun ki pami nou nan tout pèp li a, ke Bondye pa li a kapab avèk li! Lese l monte Jérusalem ki nan Juda pou rebati lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la (Se Li ki Bondye), ki nan Jérusalem nan.
4 And whosoever remains in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the voluntary offering for the house of God which is at Jerusalem.
Nenpòt nan yo ki toujou vivan, nenpòt kote ke li ta rete, kite moun nan plas sa yo bay li soutyen avèk ajan avèk lò, avèk byen ak bèt, ansanm avèk yon ofrann bòn volonte pou lakay Bondye ki Jérusalem nan.’”
5 And the chief fathers of Judah and Benjamin rose up, and the priests, and the Levites, even all those whose spirit God had stirred, to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem.
Epi chèf lakay papa zansèt pa yo nan Juda avèk Benjamin, e prèt avèk Levit yo te leve, menm tout sila ki te gen lespri vire pa Bondye yo, pou monte rebati lakay SENYÈ a ki Jérusalem nan.
6 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
Tout sila ki te antoure yo te ankouraje yo avèk bagay an ajan, lò, byen pa yo, bèt yo, bagay yo koute chè pa yo, apati de tout sa ki te bay kon ofrann bòn volonte.
7 And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem and had put in the house of his god.
Anplis, Wa Cyrus te mennen fè sòti tout bagay ki te pou lakay SENYÈ a ke Nebucadnetsar te mennen fè sòti Jérusalem pou mete lakay dye a li menm yo;
8 And Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
menm sa yo Cyrus, wa Perse la, te fè sòti pa men Mithredath, trezorye a e li menm, te konte yo pou Sheshbatsar, prens a Juda a.
9 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine-and-twenty knives,
Men kontwòl yo: trant asyèt an lò, mil asyèt an ajan, vent-nèf kouto;
10 thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
trant bòl an lò, kat-san-dis bòl an ajan nan yon lòt kalite ak mil nan lòt atik.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred. The whole did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
Tout bagay an lò avèk ajan yo te vin kontwole nan senk-mil-kat-san. Sheshbatsar te mennen yo tout monte avèk moun egzil ki te sòti Babylone yo pou rive Jérusalem.
