< Ezra 3 >

1 But, when the seventh month was come, and the sons of Israel were in cities, then did the people gather themselves together as one man, unto 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 arose—Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, —to offer thereon ascending-sacrifices, as it was 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 So they settled the altar upon its stands, for, dread, was upon them, because of the peoples of the countries, —therefore caused they to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, ascending-sacrifices for the morning and for the evening.
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 And they kept the festival of booths, as it was written, —and the ascending-offering of each day upon its own day, by number, according to regulation, the matter of a day upon its 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 and, afterwards, the continual ascending-sacrifice, and, on the new moons, and on all the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the hallowed things, —also for every one that volunteered a voluntary offering unto Yahweh.
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 From the first day of the seventh month, began they to offer up ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, —but, the temple of Yahweh, had not had its foundation 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 And they gave silver, unto the masons and carpenters, —and food and drink and oil, unto them of Zidon and unto them of Tyre, to bring in cedar-trees out of the Lebanon, unto the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia unto them.
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 Now, in the second year of their coming in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak and the rest of their brethren—the priests and the Levites, and all that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and stationed the Levites, of twenty years old and upwards, to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh.
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 they took their station—even Jeshua, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah, as one man to preside over the doer of the work in the house of God, the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.
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 And, when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, then the priests, enrobed, took their stand with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to offer praise unto Yahweh, after the instructions of David king of Israel.
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, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh—For he is good, for, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.
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 priests and the Levites and the ancestral chiefs, who were old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, were weeping with a loud voice, —many, however, shouting and rejoicing, with voice raised on high;
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 so that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people, —for, the people, did shout with a great shout, and, the noise, was heard afar off.
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.
