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:
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover 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, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given to me, —and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build for 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.
Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, —and build the house of Yahweh 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.
And, whosoever is left, of all the places where he doth sojourn, let the men of his place uphold him, with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, —along with a voluntary offering for the house of God, 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 arose the ancestral chiefs of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, —even every one whose spirit God had aroused, to go up to build the house of Yahweh, which was 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 who were round about them, strengthened their hands, with utensils of silver, with gold with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, —besides any thing he had volunteered.
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, brought forth the utensils of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth from Jerusalem, and 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.
yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader 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, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
10 trant ti bòl an lò katsandis (410) ti bòl an ajan mil (1.000) lòt kalite bagay.
bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, 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 utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred, —the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of Babylon unto Jerusalem.
