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 the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel [were] in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at 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 Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, according to the things that were 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 up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole burnt offerings was offered up upon it to the Lord 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;
And they kept the feast of tabernacles, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole burnt offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.
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 after this the perpetual whole burnt offering, and [offering] for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free will offering to 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.
On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not 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.
And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.
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.
And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in 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.
And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, 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 they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the order 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 answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for his mercy to Israel [endures] for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.
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 the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and [who saw] this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.
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.
And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.
