Esdras 1
1 Alò, nan premye ane Cyrus, wa a Perse la, pou pawòl SENYÈ a te kab akonpli pa bouch a Jérémie, SENYÈ a te vire lespri a Cyrus, wa Perse la, pou l te voye yon pwoklamasyon toupatou nan wayòm li an, e anplis pou l ta ekri li pou te di:
And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the time the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah was accomplished, the Lord awakened the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia; and he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
2 “Konsa pale Cyrus, wa a Perse la, ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye Syèl la, te ban mwen tout wayòm yo sou latè epi Li te chwazi mwen pou bati yon kay pou Li Jérusalem, ki nan Juda.
Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given unto me; and he hath directed me to build for him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Nenpòt moun ki pami nou nan tout pèp li a, ke Bondye pa li a kapab avèk li! Lese l monte Jérusalem ki nan Juda pou rebati lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la (Se Li ki Bondye), ki nan Jérusalem nan.
Whoever among you that is 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 the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 Nenpòt nan yo ki toujou vivan, nenpòt kote ke li ta rete, kite moun nan plas sa yo bay li soutyen avèk ajan avèk lò, avèk byen ak bèt, ansanm avèk yon ofrann bòn volonte pou lakay Bondye ki Jérusalem nan.’”
And whosoever remaineth out of any place where he hath sojourned, him shall the men of his place assist with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Epi chèf lakay papa zansèt pa yo nan Juda avèk Benjamin, e prèt avèk Levit yo te leve, menm tout sila ki te gen lespri vire pa Bondye yo, pou monte rebati lakay SENYÈ a ki Jérusalem nan.
Then rose up the chiefs of the divisions of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all those whose spirit God had awakened, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
6 Tout sila ki te antoure yo te ankouraje yo avèk bagay an ajan, lò, byen pa yo, bèt yo, bagay yo koute chè pa yo, apati de tout sa ki te bay kon ofrann bòn volonte.
And all those that were round about them supplied them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Anplis, Wa Cyrus te mennen fè sòti tout bagay ki te pou lakay SENYÈ a ke Nebucadnetsar te mennen fè sòti Jérusalem pou mete lakay dye a li menm yo;
Also king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought away out of Jerusalem, and had placed in the house of his god:
8 menm sa yo Cyrus, wa Perse la, te fè sòti pa men Mithredath, trezorye a e li menm, te konte yo pou Sheshbatsar, prens a Juda a.
Even these did Cyrus the king of Persia bring forth through the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out unto Sheshbazzar the prince for Judah.
9 Men kontwòl yo: trant asyèt an lò, mil asyèt an ajan, vent-nèf kouto;
And this is their number: Thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 trant bòl an lò, kat-san-dis bòl an ajan nan yon lòt kalite ak mil nan lòt atik.
Thirty cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
11 Tout bagay an lò avèk ajan yo te vin kontwole nan senk-mil-kat-san. Sheshbatsar te mennen yo tout monte avèk moun egzil ki te sòti Babylone yo pou rive Jérusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with the exiles that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
