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:
Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it 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 says Koresh king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which 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.
Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel (he is God), which 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.
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house which 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.
Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of the LORD which 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.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
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.
Also Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put 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.
even those, Koresh king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered 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
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 trant ti bòl an lò katsandis (410) ti bòl an ajan mil (1.000) lòt kalite bagay.
thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and 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 were five thousand and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
