< Ezra 5 >

1 Forsothe Aggei, the prophete, and Zacharie, the prophete, the sone of Ado, prophesieden, prophesiynge in the name of God of Israel, to the Jewis that weren in Juda and Jerusalem.
Alò pwofèt yo, pwofèt Agée avèk pwofèt Zacharie, fis a Iddo a, te pwofetize a Jwif ki te Juda avèk Jérusalem. Yo te pwofetize nan non Bondye Israël la.
2 Thanne Zorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, and Josue, the sone of Josedech, risiden, and bigunnen to bilde the temple of God in Jerusalem; and with hem rysyden the prophetis of God, helpynge hem.
Konsa, Zorobabel fis a Schealthiel la avèk Josué te leve, e te kòmanse rebati lakay Bondye ki Jérusalem nan, ansanm ak pwofèt Bondye yo ki te avèk yo pou bay yo soutyen.
3 Forsothe in that tyme Tatannai, that was duyk biyende the flood, and Starbusannay, and the counselouris of hem, camen to hem, and seiden thus to hem, Who yaf counsel to you to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
Nan lè Thathnaï, gouvènè pwovens lòtbò Rivyè a e Schethar-Boznaï avèk kolèg parèy a yo, te vin kote yo, e te pale avèk yo konsa: “Se kilès ki te bay ou dekrè pou fin fè tanp sila a, e pou fin fè konstriksyon sila a?”
4 To which thing we answeriden to hem, whiche weren the names of men, autours of that bildyng.
Anplis, yo te mande non a mesye yo ki t ap fè batisman sila a.
5 Forsothe the iye of God of hem was maad on the elde men of Jewis, and thei myyten not forbede the Jewis; and it pleside that the thing schulde be teld to Darius, and thanne thei schulden make satisfaccioun ayens that accusyng.
Men zye a Bondye pa yo te veye sou ansyen nan Jwif yo, e yo pa t fè yo sispann jiskaske yon rapò te sòti nan Darius, wa Perse la.
6 This is the saumpler of the pistle, which Tathannai, duyk of the cuntrey biyende the flood, and Starbursannai, and hise counselouris, Arphasacei, that weren biyende the flood, senten to kyng Darius.
Kopi a lèt ke Thathnaï, gouvènè lòtbò rivyè a, e Schethar-Boznaï avèk kolèg Arpacschad yo ki te lòtbò rivyè a, ke yo te voye a Darius, wa a.
7 The word which thei senten to hym was writun thus; Al pees be to the kyng Darius.
Yo te voye bay li yon rapò, e ladann, te ekri sa: A Darius, wa a; lapè avèk ou!
8 Be it knowun to the kyng, that we yeden to the prouince of Judee, to the hows of greet God, which is bildid with stoon vnpolischid, and trees ben set in the wallis, and thilke werk is bildid diligently, and encreessith in the hondis of hem.
Kite li rekonèt a wa a ke nou te ale nan pwovens a Juda a, vè kay a gran Bondye a, ki ap bati avèk wòch ki gwo, e travès yo ap poze nan mi li yo. Travay sila a ap avanse avèk gwo swen e ap byen reyisi nan men yo.
9 Therfor we axiden tho elde men, and thus we seiden to hem, Who yaf to you power to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
Konsa, nou te kesyonen ansyen sila yo epi te mande yo konsa: “Kilès ki te bay ou dekrè pou rebati tanp sa a, e fini avèk konstriksyon sa a?”
10 But also we axiden of hem the names `of hem, that we schulden telle to thee; and we han write the names of men, whiche thei ben, that ben princes among hem.
Anplis, nou te mande yo non yo pou nou ta kab fè ou konnen e ke nou ta kapab ekri non a mesye ki te chèf an tèt yo.
11 Sotheli thei answeriden bi sich word, and seiden, We ben the seruauntis of God of heuene and of erthe; and we bilden the temple that was bildid bifor these many yeeris, and `which temple the greet kyng of Israel `hadde bildid, and maad.
Se konsa yo te reponn nou. Yo te di: “Nou se sèvitè a Bondye syèl la avèk tè a, e n ap rebati tanp ki te bati anpil ane pase yo, ke yon gran wa Israël te bati, e te fin acheve.
12 But aftir that oure fadris stiryden God of heuene and of erthe to wrathfulnesse, bothe he bitook hem in the hond of Nabugodonosor, Caldey, kyng of Babiloyne; and he distriede this hows, and translatide the puple therof in to Babiloyne.
Men akoz papa pa nou yo te pwovoke Bondye syèl la a lakòlè, Li te livre yo nan men Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Kaldeyen ki te detwi tanp sila a, e te mennen fè sòti tout pèp la jis rive Babylone.
13 Forsothe in the firste yeer of Cirus, king of Babiloyne, Cirus, the king of Babiloyne, settide forth `a comaundement, that the hows of God schulde be bildid.
Sepandan, nan premye ane Cyrus la, wa Babylone nan, Wa Cyrus te pibliye yon dekrè pou rebati kay Bondye sila a.
14 For whi kyng Cirus brouyte forth `fro the temple of Babiloyne also the goldun and siluerne vessels of Goddis temple, whiche Nabugodonosor hadde take fro the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and hadde bore tho awei in to the temple of Babiloyne; and tho vessels weren youun to Sasabazar bi name, whom `he made also prince. And Cirus seide to hym, Take these vessels,
Anplis, zouti an ajan avèk lò lakay Bondye ke Nebucadnetsar te retire soti nan tanp Jérusalem nan pou te pote yo nan tanp Babylone nan. Menm sila yo, Cyrus te pran soti nan tanp Babylone nan, e yo te bay a yon nonm ki te rele Sheshbatsar, sila li te chwazi kon gouvènè a.
15 and go, and sette tho in the temple, which is in Jerusalem; and the hows of God be bildid in `his place.
Li te di li: ‘Pran zouti sila yo, ale depoze yo nan tanp Jérusalem nan, e kite kay Bondye a vin rebati nan plas li.’
16 Therfor thanne thilke Sasabazar cam, and settide the foundementis of Goddis temple in Jerusalem; and fro that tyme `til to now it is bildid, and is not yit fillid.
Epi Sheshbatsar sila a te vin poze fondasyon kay Bondye a Jérusalem. Epi depi lè sa a, jis rive koulye a, li te anba konstriksyon men li poko fini.
17 Now therfor if it `semeth good to the king, rikene he in the biblet of the kyng, which is in Babiloyne, whether it be comaundid of kyng Cyrus, that Goddis hows schulde be bildid in Jerusalem; and sende he to vs the wille of the kyng `on this thing.
Alò, si sa ta fè wa a kontan, kite yon rechèch fèt lakay trezorye wa a ki Babylone nan, ke si se konsa, yon dekrè te fèt pa Cyrus pou rebati kay Bondye sila a Jérusalem. Epi konsa, kite wa a voye bannou desizyon pa li sou ka sa a.”
