Esdras 3
1 Alò, lè setyèm mwa a te fin rive e fis Israël yo te nan vil yo, pèp la, kon yon sèl moun, te reyini ansanm Jérusalem.
And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel [were] in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Konsa, Josué, fis a Jotsadak la avèk frè li yo, prèt yo e Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la avèk frè li yo, te leve e te bati lotèl Bondye Israël la pou ofri ofrann brile sou li, kon sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la, nonm 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 builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as [it is] written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Pou sa, yo te mete lotèl la sou fondasyon li, malgre yo te krent anpil akoz pèp a nasyon yo, epi yo te ofri ofrann brile yo sou li a SENYÈ a, ofrann brile nan maten ak nan aswè.
And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, [even] burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 Yo te selebre Fèt Tonèl yo kon sa ekri a, e te fè fòs kantite ofrann brile ki te etabli chak jou yo, selon obligasyon chak jou ke òdonans lan egzije yo;
They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as [it is] written, and [offered] the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
5 epi apre, te genyen yon ofrann brile san rete. Anplis, pou nouvèl lin e pou tout fèt SENYÈ a ki te òdone e konsakre yo, e soti nan tout moun ki te ofri yon ofrann bòn volonte a SENYÈ a.
And afterward [offered] the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.
6 Soti nan premye jou nan setyèm mwa a, yo te kòmanse ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ a, men fondasyon tanp lan potko poze.
From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not [yet] laid.
7 Yo te vèse bay lajan a mason yo avèk chapant yo avèk manje, bagay pou bwè, lwil pou Sidonyen avèk Tiryen yo pou pote bwa sèd sòti Liban pou rive nan lanmè Japho a, selon pèmisyon ke yo te resevwa soti nan Cyrus, wa Perse la.
They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
8 Alò, nan dezyèm ane a, depi yo te rive lakay Bondye Jérusalem nan dezyèm mwa a, Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la avèk Josué, fis a Jotsadak la avèk tout lòt frè pa yo, prèt yo avèk Levit yo e tout moun ki te vini soti an kaptivite pou rive Jérusalem, te kòmanse èv la e te apwente Levit yo ak laj a ventan oswa plis pou sipèvize travay lakay SENYÈ a.
Now in the second year of their coming unto 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 were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
9 Konsa, Josué avèk fis li yo ak frè li yo te kanpe ansanm avèk Kadmiel ak fis pa li yo, fis a Juda yo, fis a Hénadad yo avèk fis pa yo ak frè yo, Levit yo, pou sipèvize ouvriye nan tanp Bondye a.
Then stood Jeshua [with] his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, [with] their sons and their brethren the Levites.
10 Alò, lè ouvriye yo te fin poze fondasyon tanp SENYÈ a, prèt yo te kanpe ak vètman pa yo avèk twonpèt yo, e Levit yo, fis a Asaph yo, avèk senbal yo, pou louwe SENYÈ a selon enstriksyon a Wa David de Israël la.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11 Yo te chante, te fè lwanj e te bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Li bon, Paske lanmou dous Li sou Israël jis pou tout tan.” Epi tout pèp la te leve yon gran kri anlè lè yo te louwe SENYÈ a, akoz fondasyon lakay SENYÈ a te fin poze.
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
12 Men anpil nan prèt yo avèk Levit yo avèk chèf lakay zansèt yo, ansyen granmoun ki te konn wè premye tanp lan, te kriye avèk yon gran vwa lè fondasyon a kay sila a te poze devan zye yo. Anpil nan yo te rele fò avèk jwa,
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, [who were] ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
13 jiskaske pèp la pa t kab distenge antre son lajwa ak son kriye a pèp la, paske pèp la te rele ak gran vwa e son lan te koute soti byen lwen.
So that 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 loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
