Esdras 3
1 Lè pou setyèm mwa lanne jwif yo rive, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te gen tan chita lakay yo nan lavil yo. Lè sa a, yo tout yo sanble lavil Jerizalèm.
And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Jozye, pitit gason Jeozadak la, ak tout prèt parèy li yo leve ansanm ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, ak tout fanmi l' yo, yo rebati lotèl Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pou yo te ka boule ofrann bèt sou li, dapre regleman ki ekri nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a.
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer up burnt-offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Atout yo te pè lòt moun yo ki t'ap viv nan peyi a, yo rebati lotèl la menm kote li te ye anvan an. Epi yo tanmen boule bèt sou li pou Seyè a, chak maten ak chak aswè.
And they set the altar on its base; for fear was upon them because of the people of the countries; and they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, the morning and evening burnt-offerings.
4 Yo fete fèt Joupa yo, dapre sa ki ekri a. Chak jou yo te ofri kantite bèt yo te dwe boule pou jou sa a.
And they held the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and [offered] daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 Apre sa, yo ofri bèt pou yo boule chak jou a, bèt pou yo boule chak fèt lalin nouvèl yo, ak bèt pou tout lòt jou y'ap fè fèt pou Seyè a, ansanm ak tout lòt ofrann moun yo vle fè pou Seyè a san se pa li ki mande yo fè l'.
and afterwards the continual burnt-offering, and those of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a voluntary offering to Jehovah.
6 Pèp la pa t' ankò mete men nan tanp lan, men depi premye jou setyèm mwa a yo te konmanse ap boule bèt nèt pou Seyè a.
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not [yet] laid.
7 Pèp la bay lajan pou peye bòs ki t'ap taye wòch yo ak bòs chapant yo. Yo bay pwovizyon, bwason ak lwil pou yo voye lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon pou bwa sèd y'ap achte nan men moun la yo. Bwa yo te soti peyi Liban, yo pase sou lanmè, yo debake Jope. Yo fè tou sa dapre otorizasyon Siris, wa peyi Pès la, te ba yo.
And they gave money to the masons and to the carpenters; and meat and drink and oil to the Zidonians and to the Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
8 Te gen ennan yon mwa depi yo te rive lavil Jerizalèm sou anplasman tanp Seyè a, lè Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, ak Jozye, pitit gason Jeozadak la, te mete men nan travay la ansanm ak rès moun pèp la, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo, avèk tout moun ki te tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pran tout moun Levi ki te gen ventan osinon plis, yo mete yo anchaj pou dirije tout travay ki t'ap fèt nan tanp Seyè a.
And in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of Jehovah.
9 Se konsa Jozye, pitit gason l' yo ak lòt fanmi li yo, ansanm ak Kadmyèl ak pitit gason l' yo, moun fanmi Jida, mete tèt yo ansanm, yo pran reskonsablite travay ki t'ap fèt nan tanp Bondye a.
And Jeshua stood up, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one [man], to superintend the workmen in the house of God; [also] the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.
10 Lè bòs mason yo te konmanse ak premye fondasyon tanp Seyè a, prèt yo avèk gwo rad yo sou yo, twonpèt yo nan men yo, vin pran plas yo ansanm ak moun Levi branch fanmi Asaf yo ak tanbouren yo nan men yo. Yo te fè lwanj Seyè a dapre regleman David, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te bay depi lontan.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel, with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 Yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, yo t'ap di l' mèsi, yo t'ap chante yonn apre lòt: Ala bon Seyè a bon! Li p'ap janm sispann renmen pèp Izrayèl la Tout pèp la t'ap rele byen fò. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, paske yo t'ap mete men nan travay fondasyon tanp Seyè a.
And they sang alternately together in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout to the praise of Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.
12 Te gen anpil prèt, anpil moun Levi ak anpil chèf fanmi ki te fin vye granmoun. Yo te konnen ansyen tanp lan anvan li te kraze. Lè yo wè fondasyon tanp lan t'ap moute ankò devan je yo, genyen ki t'ap kriye ak dlo nan je. Men, anpil lòt t'ap rele sitèlman yo te kontan.
But many of the priests and Levites and chief fathers, the ancient men that had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice, [when] the foundation of this house was laid in their sight; and many shouted aloud for joy.
13 Men, pesonn pa t' ka di kilès ki t'ap rele ak kè kontan, kilès ki t'ap plede kriye ak dlo nan je, paske tout pèp la t'ap rele ansanm byen fò. Moun te ka tande yo byen lwen.
And the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a great shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
