Esdras 6
1 Se konsa wa Dariyis bay lòd pou yo fè chache nan tout depo kote yo te sere achiv yo ak trezò yo nan peyi Babilòn.
Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
2 Epi yo jwenn yon woulo papye nan fò Achmeta, yon fòtrès ki te nan pwovens Medi a. Men sa ki te ekri nan woulo papye a:
A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
3 -Nan premye lanne rèy li, wa Siris te bay lòd sa a sou tanp Bondye a nan lavil Jerizalèm: Se pou yo rebati tanp lan pou l' ka sèvi kote yo ka touye bèt ak boule ofrann nan dife pou Bondye. Tanp lan va gen trant mèt wotè, trant mèt lajè.
In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
4 Y'a moute miray yo an bwa ak wòch, yonn sou lòt, twa ranje wòch pou chak ranje bwa. Y'a pran lajan nan kès wa a pou peye tout depans ki va fèt pou travay la.
with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
5 Konsa tou, y'a renmèt yo tout veso an lò ak an ajan Nèbikadneza te pran nan tanp Bondye a lavil Jerizalèm pou l' te pote isit lavil Babilòn, pou tout bagay tounen nan plas yo nan tanp Bondye a lavil Jerizalèm.
Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
6 Lè sa a, wa Dariyis voye repons sa a: -Pou Tatenayi, gouvènè pwovens lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la, Cheta-Boznayi ak lòt kòlèg yo ki otorite nan Afasak la. Pa pwoche bò tanp lan.
Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
7 Kite yo travay nan tanp Bondye a. Se pou gouvènè pèyi Jida a ak chèf fanmi yo rebati tanp lan sou menm anplasman kote l' te ye anvan an.
Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders build this house of God in its place.
8 Okontrè, men ki jan pou nou boule ak chèf fanmi pèp jwif yo nan travay y'ap fè pou rebati tanp Bondye sa a: N'a pran lajan nan kès wa ki nan men nou an, ki vle di nan lajan kontribisyon n'a ranmase nan pwovens la, n'a renmèt yo kòb tout depans y'a fè, san wete senk, pou travay la pa rete.
Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these Jewish elders for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
9 N'a bay prèt Jerizalèm yo tou sa y'a bezwen pou fè ofrann bèt pou yo boule nèt nan dife pou Bondye ki nan syèl la. Chak jou, dapre sa prèt lavil Jerizalèm yo va di nou, n'a ba yo jenn ti towo, belye, ti mouton ansanm ak ble, sèl, diven, lwil y'a bezwen pou boule pou Seyè a. Pa pote okenn neglijans nan sa.
That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
10 Konsa, y'a ka ofri sakrifis santi bon ki va fè Seyè a plezi. Y'a lapriyè pou wa a ak pou pitit li yo.
that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
11 Men yon lòd mwen bay ankò: si yon moun refize fè anyen nan sa m' mande la a, y'a rache yon poto bwa nan kay li, y'a fè yon pwent li, y'a pèse moun lan pak an pak ak li. Pou kay li a menm, y'a fè l' tounen yon pil fatra, poutèt sa li fè a.
I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 Se pou Bondye ki chwazi lavil Jerizalèm pou se la yo bati kay li a jete tout wa, kraze tout nasyon ki ta konprann pou yo pa koute lòd mwen bay la a, epi ki ta detwi tanp Bondye a ki lavil Jerizalèm. Se mwen menm, Dariyis, ki bay lòd sa a. Se pou yo fè sa mwen bay lòd fè a san wete san mete.
May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
13 Tatenayi, gouvènè pwovens ki lòt bò larivyè Efrat la, Cheta-Boznayi ak lòt chèf yo fè sa wa Dariyis te bay lòd fè a san wete san mete.
Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
14 Chèf fanmi jwif yo menm rebati tanp lan san pwoblèm, avèk ankourajman Aje, pwofèt Bondye a, ak Zakari, pitit gason Ido a, t'ap ba yo ak mesaj Bondye yo. Se konsa yo fin rebati tanp lan jan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te ba yo lòd la, ak jan Dariyis, Siris ak Atagzèsès, tou twa wa peyi Pès la, te ba yo lòd la tou.
The Jewish elders built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 Travay la fini sou twazyèm jou nan mwa Ada a, nan sizyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis.
This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 Lè sa a, tout pèp Izrayèl la, prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak tout rès moun ki te tounen yo fè fèt, yo fè gwo seremoni pou mete tanp lan apa pou sèvis Bondye.
The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 Yo ofri san (100) towo, desan (200) belye mouton, katsan (400) ti mouton pou yo touye pou mete tanp lan apa pou sèvis Bondye. Yo ofri tou douz bouk kabrit, yonn pou chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, pou mande Bondye padon pou peche pèp la.
They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 Apre sa, yo òganize sèvis tanp Bondye a lavil Jerizalèm. Yo separe prèt yo an divès kategori, yo separe moun Levi yo an divès klas, chak gwoup ak travay pa yo pou yo fè, jan sa ekri nan liv Moyiz la.
They set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 Katòzyèm jou mwa Nisan an, nan lanne senksankenz (515), jwif ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a fete fèt Delivrans lan.
The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 Yo te fè yon sèl sèvis pou tout prèt yo ansanm ak tout moun Levi yo pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Yo tout te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye: yo touye bèt yo te ofri pou fèt Delivrans lan, yo fè yon sèl seremoni pou tout pèp la, pou prèt parèy yo ak pou yo menm tou.
Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
21 Men moun ki te manje manje Delivrans lan. Se te tout jwif ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a ansanm ak rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki pa t' janm kite peyi yo men ki te vire do bay vye bagay lòt moun yo t'ap fè nan peyi yo epi ki te vin mete tèt ansanm ak moun ki te tounen yo pou adore Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, ate,
22 Pandan sèt jou, yo fete Fèt Pen san ledven an ak kè kontan. Yo te kontan anpil dèske Seyè a te manyen kè wa peyi Lasiri a, ki te ankouraje yo anpil nan tout gwo travay yo t'ap fè a pou rebati tanp Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.
