Esdras 1
1 Lè sa a, wa Siris pa t' ankò gen ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Pès la, lè Seyè a mete lide nan tèt wa a pou li bay yon lòd, fè kouche l' sou papye voye toupatou nan peyi a pou yo te ka li l' pou tout moun tande. Sa te pase konsa pou pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an te ka rive vre. Men lòd la:
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of YHWH from the mouth of Jeremiah, has YHWH awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
2 -Mwen menm Siris, wa peyi Pès, men lòd mwen bay: Seyè a, Bondye nan syèl la, te mete m' chèf sou tout peyi ki sou latè. Li ban m' reskonsablite pou m' bati yon tanp pou li lavil Jerizalèm, nan peyi Jida.
“Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;
3 Nou mande pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la beni tout moun ki fè pati pèp sa a pou yo moute lavil Jerizalèm, nan peyi Jida, pou yo rebati Tanp Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye yo adore lavil Jerizalèm lan.
who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he goes up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and builds the house of YHWH, God of Israel (He [alone is] God), that [is] in Jerusalem.
4 Toupatou nan peyi a, moun k'ap viv menm kote ak ti rès ki rete nan pèp Izrayèl la va ba yo konkou pou yo ka tounen nan peyi pa yo. Y'a ba yo ajan ak lò, pwovizyon ak bèt ansanm ak tout lòt bagay yo vle ba yo pou yo ofri nan tanp Bondye a ki nan lavil Jerizalèm lan.
And everyone who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, the men of his place assist him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem.”
5 Lè sa a, chèf branch fanmi Jida ak chèf branch fanmi Benjamen yo, prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak tout lòt moun ki te fè lide a gremesi Seyè a, yo leve pou y' al rebati kay Seyè a nan lavil Jerizalèm.
And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even everyone whose spirit God has awoken, to go up to build the house of YHWH, that [is] in Jerusalem;
6 Tout vwazen yo te ba yo tout kalite konkou, bagay fèt an ajan ak an lò, pwovizyon, bèt ak anpil lòt bagay ki gen anpil valè, san konte tout kalite bagay yo te vle bay pou ofri nan tanp lan.
and all those around them have strengthened [them] with their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that has been offered willingly.
7 Nan tan lontan, wa Nèbikadneza te pran tout bòl ak tout lòt bagay ki t'ap sèvi nan tanp Seyè a lavil Jerizalèm, li te mete yo nan tanp bondye pa l' la. Wa Siris fè chache tout bagay sa yo.
And King Cyrus has brought out the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar has brought out of Jerusalem, and puts them in the house of his gods;
8 Li fè Mitridat ki te reskonsab tout richès peyi a mete yo deyò pou l' te kontwole yo bay Chechbaza, gouvènè peyi Jida a.
indeed, Cyrus king of Persia brings them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbers them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
9 Men sa yo te jwenn: trant gwo bòl an lò pou mete ofrann mil (1.000) gwo bòl an ajan pou mete ofrann ventnèf lòt gwo kouto
And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver one thousand, knives twenty-nine,
10 trant ti bòl an lò katsandis (410) ti bòl an ajan mil (1.000) lòt kalite bagay.
basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels one thousand.
11 Antou, sa te fè senkmilkatsan (5.400) divès kalite bagay an lò ak an ajan. Se tout bagay sa yo Chechbaza te pran ak li lè li t'ap kite lavil Babilòn ansanm ak lòt moun yo te depòte yo, pou tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole has Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the expulsion from Babylon to Jerusalem.
