< Ezra 6 >
1 Then gave king Darius an order, that they should make search in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up there in Babylon.
Wa Darius te pibliye yon dekrè e yon rechèch te fèt nan achiv yo kote trezò yo te depoze Babylone nan.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the castle that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written: A record.
Nan Achemetha, nan fò a, ki nan pwovens a Médie a, yo te twouve yon woulo, e ladann te ekri konsa kon yon rekòd anrejistre:
3 In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus gave an order concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid: its height shall be sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits,
Nan premye ane a Wa Cyrus la, Cyrus, wa a, te pibliye yon dekrè: Sou kay Bondye nan Jérusalem nan, kite tanp kote sakrifis konn vin ofri yo vin rebati, e kite fondasyon li yo konsève, wotè ki swasant koude a e lajè ki swasant koude a
4 With three rows of heavy stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
avèk twa ranje gwo wòch taye ak yon ranje an bwa. Epi kite frè a peye soti nan trezò wa a.
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took away out of the temple which is in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought back unto the temple which is in Jerusalem, every one to its place, and let them be put in the house of God.
Anplis, kite zouti an lò avèk ajan ki pou lakay Bondye yo, ke Nebucadnetsar te pran soti nan tanp Jérusalem nan pou te pote Babylone nan, remèt e fè retounen nan plas yo nan tanp Jérusalem nan. Konsa, nou va depoze yo nan kay Bondye a.
6 Now Thathnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from there:
Alò, pou sa, Thathnaï, ou menm, gouvènè pwovens lòtbò rivyè a, Schethar-Boznaï avèk kòlèg parèy ou yo, ofisyèl nan pwovens lòtbò rivyè yo, rete lwen de la.
7 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.
Kite travay sila sou kay Bondye a kontinye; kite gouvènè a Jwif yo avèk ansyen a Jwif yo rebati lakay Bondye a sou sit anplasman li an.
8 And by me is the order given what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God, that out of the king's property, arising out of the tax beyond the river, the expenses shall forthwith be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Anplis, Mwen menm, Darius, ap bay yon dekrè sou sa nou gen pou fè pou ansyen sila yo nan Juda pou rekonstriksyon lakay Bondye sila a: Tout frè li se pou peye a pèp sila yo soti nan kès trezò ki sòti nan taks ki sòti nan pwovens lòtbò rivyè yo. Epi sa dwe fèt san fè reta.
9 And what they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings unto the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the requirement of the priests who are a Jerusalem, shall be given unto them day by day, without fail.
Nenpòt sa ki nesesè, ni jenn towo, belye, ni jenn mouton pou ofrann brile a Bondye syèl la, e ble, sèl, diven ak lwil onksyon, jan prèt Jérusalem yo mande a, fòk sa bay a yo chak jou san manke,
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
pou yo kab ofri sakrifis agreyab a Bondye syèl la, e priye pou lavi a wa a avèk fis li yo.
11 Also is by me the order given, that if any man should alter this command, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and being set up, he shall be hanged thereon; and his house shall be made a dunghill for this.
Epi mwen te pibliye yon lòd ke nenpòt moun ki vyole dekrè sa a, yon travès bwa va rache sou pwòp kay li, li va leve wo, e atache sou li. E lakay li va devni yon gwo pil fatra.
12 And may the God that causeth his name to dwell there cast down every king and people that will stretch forth their hand to alter, to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius have given the order: let it be done speedily.
Ke Bondye ki te fè non Li rete la, ta dechouke nenpòt wa oswa pèp ki ta leve men l chanje sa a pou li ta detwi kay Bondye sa a, Jérusalem. Mwen, Darius, te pase lòd sa a. Kite li akonpli avèk dilijans!
13 Then did Thathnai the, governor on this aide of the river, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, in accordance with what king Darius had sent, act in this manner speedily.
Alò, Thathnaï, gouvènè pwovens lòtbò rivyè a, Schethar-Boznaï, avèk kolèg parèy a yo te konfòme avèk dilijans a lòd sa a jan Wa Darius te voye bay li a.
14 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of 'Iddo. And they built, and completed it, according to the order of the God of Israel, and according to the order of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
Epi ansyen pami Jwif yo te reyisi nan konstriksyon an selon asistans pwofesi ki t ap fèt pa Aggée avèk Zacharie yo, fis a Iddo a. Konsa, yo te fin bati selon lòd Bondye Israël la, dekrè a Cyrus la, Darius ak Artaxerxès, wa a Perse la.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
Tanp sa a te fini sou twazyèm jou nan mwa Adar a. Li te nan sizyèm ane règn Wa Darius la.
16 Then celebrated the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the exile, the dedication of this house of God with joy;
Epi fis Israël yo, prèt yo, Levit yo ak tout lòt moun egzil ki te retounen yo, te selebre dedikasyon kay Bondye sila a avèk jwa.
17 And they offered for the dedication of this house of God one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Yo te ofri pou dedikasyon tanp Bondye sila a san towo, de-san belye, kat-san jenn mouton, e kon ofrann peche pou tout Israël la, douz mal kabrit ki te koresponn a non tribi Israël yo.
18 And they stationed the priests in their orders, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Epi yo te chwazi prèt yo a divizyon pa yo ak Levit yo nan lòd pa yo pou sèvis Bondye Jérusalem nan, jan sa ekri nan liv Moïse la.
19 And the children of the exile prepared the passover-[sacrifice] on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Moun egzil yo te obsève fèt Pak la nan katòzyèm jou nan premye mwa a.
20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, as one man were all of them clean; and they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice for all the children of the exile, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Paske prèt yo avèk Levit yo te fin pirifye yo ansanm, yo tout nan yo te pwòp. Epi yo te touye jenn mouton Pak la pou tout moun egzil yo, ni pou frè pa yo, prèt yo ak pou yo menm.
21 And then did the children of Israel, who were returned out of the exile, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the uncleanness of the nations of the earth, to seek the Lord the God of Israel, eat thereof.
Fis a Israël ki te retounen an egzil yo, e tout sila ki te separe yo menm de lempite a nasyon nan peyi yo pou fè ansanm avèk yo, pou chache SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te manje Pak la.
22 And they celebrated the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Asshur toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Epi yo te obsève Fèt Pen San Ledven an pandan sèt jou avèk jwa, paske SENYÈ a te fè yo rejwi, e te detounen kè a wa a Assyrie a vè yo pou ankouraje yo nan travay lakay Bondye a, Bondye Israël la.
