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 Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, YHWH Elohim of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at 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.
Who is there among you of all his people? his Elohim be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of YHWH Elohim of Israel, (he is the Elohim, ) 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.
And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of Elohim 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.
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit Elohim had raised, to go up to build the house of YHWH 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.
And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside 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 Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of YHWH, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his master;
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 did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto 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 the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 trant ti bòl an lò katsandis (410) ti bòl an ajan mil (1.000) lòt kalite bagay.
Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a 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. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
