< Ezra 1 >

1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yhwh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, Yhwh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, Yhwh God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an 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 Who is there 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 Yhwh God of Israel, (he is the God, ) which is in 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 remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in 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 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of Yhwh which is in 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 vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside 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 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Yhwh, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
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 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto 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 and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto 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.
