Ezra 6
1 Then, Darius the king, issued an edict, —and they made search in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up 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 in Achmetha, in the fortress which is in the province of Media, a roll, —and, thus, was it written therein, as 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 Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, as to the house of God in Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be reared, —the height thereof, sixty cubits, the breadth thereof, 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 layers of large stones, three, and one layer of new timber, —and, as for the expenses, out of the house of the king, let them be given.
avèk twa ranje gwo wòch taye ak yon ranje an bwa. Epi kite frè a peye soti nan trezò wa a.
5 Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, took forth out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, let them again be taken to the temple which is in Jerusalem every one to its place, and lay them up 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, therefore, Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, the Apharsachites, who are Beyond the River, —be ye far from thence:
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 alone the work of this house of God, —the pasha of Judah, and the elders of Judah, this house of God, shall build upon its place;
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, from me, is issued an edict, as to that which ye shall do, with these elders of Judah, for the building of this house of God, —That, of the resources of the king, even the tribute Beyond the River, forthwith, the expenses be given unto these men, for they must not be 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, whatever may be the need—whether young bullocks or rams or lambs for ascending-sacrifices unto the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine or oil, according to the command of the priests who are in Jerusalem, —that it he given to 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 be offering sweet-smelling sacrifices unto the God of the heavens, —and be praying for the life of the king, and his sons.
pou yo kab ofri sakrifis agreyab a Bondye syèl la, e priye pou lavi a wa a avèk fis li yo.
11 And, from me, is issued an edict, that, any man who shall alter this message, let timber be torn out of his house, and being lifted up let him be fastened thereunto, —and his house, a dunghill, be made 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, the God who hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy any king or people, who shall put forth their hand to alter to destroy this house of God, which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued an edict, forthwith, let it be done.
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, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
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, went on building and prospering, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, —they both built and finished, owing to the edict of the God of Israel, and owing to the edict of Cyrus and Darius, and Artaxerxes 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, by the third day of the month Adar, —the which was the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Tanp sa a te fini sou twazyèm jou nan mwa Adar a. Li te nan sizyèm ane règn Wa Darius la.
16 Then did the sons of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the Sons of the Exile, keep 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 offered, for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks, one hundred, rams, two hundred, lambs, four hundred, —and, he-goats, as a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, 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 set up the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God, which was 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 Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth 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, all of them, were pure, —so they slaughtered the passover for all the Sons 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 Therefore the sons of Israel who had returned from the Exile and all who had separated themselves from the impurity of the nations of the land unto them, did eat, —to seek Yahweh, God of Israel;
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 kept the festival of unleavened cakes seven days, with joy, —for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria towards 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.
