6 Esdras sila a te monte soti Babylone e li te yon skrib avèk anpil konesans nan lalwa Moïse la, ke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te bay la. Epi wa a te bay li tout sa ke li te mande akoz men SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te sou li.
That Ezra he came up from Babylon and he [was] a scribe skilled in [the] law of Moses which he had given Yahweh [the] God of Israel and he gave to him the king according to [the] hand of Yahweh God his on him all request his.
7 Kèk nan fis Israël yo avèk kèk nan prèt yo, Levit yo, chantè yo, gadyen pòtay yo, ak sèvitè tanp yo, te monte Jérusalem nan setyèm ane a Wa Artaxerxès la.
And they came up some of [the] people of Israel and some of the priests and the Levites and the singers and the gatekeepers and the temple servants to Jerusalem in year seven of Artaxerxes the king.
8 Li te vini Jérusalem nan senkyèm mwa a, ki te nan setyèm ane règn a Wa a.
And he came Jerusalem in the month fifth it [was] [the] year seventh of the king.
9 Paske nan premye jou nan premye mwa a, li te kòmanse monte soti Babylone; epi nan premye jou nan senkyèm mwa a, li te rive Jérusalem, akoz bon men a Bondye pa li a te sou li.
For on [day] one of the month first it [was] [the] beginning of the going up from Babylon and on [day] one of the month fifth he came to Jerusalem according to [the] hand of God his good on him.
10 Paske Esdras te dedye kè li pou etidye lalwa SENYÈ a, pou pratike li, pou enstwi règleman pa Li yo ak òdonans Li yo an Israël.
For Ezra he had directed heart his to study [the] law of Yahweh and to do [it] and to teach in Israel decree and judgment.
11 Alò, sa se yon kopi a dekrè ke Wa Artaxerxès te bay a Esdras, prèt la, skrib la, ki te byen enstwi nan kòmandman a SENYÈ a, avèk règleman Li yo pou Israël:
And this - [is] [the] copy of the letter which he gave the king Artaxerxes to Ezra the priest the scribe [the] scribe of [the] matters of [the] commandments of Yahweh and statutes his on Israel.
12 “Artaxerxès, wadèwa yo, a Esdras, prèt la, skrib lalwa Bondye Syèl la, lapè pafè. Depi koulye a,
Artaxerxes [the] king of kings to Ezra priest the [the] scribe of law the of [the] God of heavens the perfect and now.
13 mwen te bay yon dekrè ke nenpòt moun nan pèp Israël la avèk prèt pa yo ak Levit nan wayòm pa m nan ki gen volonte pou ale Jérusalem, kapab ale avèk ou.
From me it is made a decree that every [one who] volunteers in kingdom my from people the Israel and priests its and Levites the to go to Jerusalem with you he will go.
14 Akoz ke ou voye pa wa a avèk sèt konseye li yo, pou mande konsèy sou Juda ak Jérusalem, selon lalwa Bondye pa ou a, ki nan men ou a,
As to because that from before king the and seven counselors his [you are] sent to enquire on Judah and to Jerusalem in [the] law of God your which [is] in hand your.
15 epi pou pote ajan avèk lò ke wa a avèk konseye li yo te ofri libreman a Bondye Israël la, ki gen plas abitasyon Li Jérusalem,
And to carry silver and gold which king the and counselors his they have offered freely to [the] God of Israel who [is] in Jerusalem abode his.
16 avèk tout ajan ak lò ke ou jwenn nan tout pwovens Babylone yo, ansanm avèk ofrann bòn volonte a pèp la ak prèt yo, ki te ofri avèk bòn volonte pou lakay Bondye pa yo a ki Jérusalem nan.
And all [the] silver and [the] gold which you will find in all [the] province of Babylon with [the] freewill offering of people the and priests the [who] have offered freely for [the] house of God their which [is] in Jerusalem.
17 Pou sa, avèk lajan sa a, nou va, avèk swen, achte towo, belye, jenn mouton avèk ofrann sereyal pa yo ak ofrann bwason pa yo, e ofri yo sou lotèl lakay Bondye nou an ki Jérusalem nan.
As to because this diligently you will buy with silver the this bulls - rams lambs and grain offerings their and drink offerings their so you may offer them on altar the of [the] house of God your which [is] in Jerusalem.
18 Nenpòt sa ou wè ki sanble bon a ou menm avèk frè ou yo pou fè avèk sa ki rete nan ajan avèk lò yo, nou kab fè l selon volonte Bondye pa nou an.
And whatever that (to you *Q(k)*) and to (brothers your *Q(k)*) (it is good *LH(ab)*) with [the] rest of silver the and gold the to do according to [the] will of God your you will do.
19 Anplis, zouti ki bay a nou pou sèvis lakay Bondye ou a, livre yo nèt devan Bondye Jérusalem nan.
And vessels the which [have been] given to you for [the] worship of [the] house of God your make complete before [the] God of Jerusalem.
20 Tout lòt bezwen pou lakay Bondye ou a, ke ou kab petèt gen okazyon founi, founi li soti nan kès trezò wa a.
And [the] rest of [the] thing[s] needed of [the] house of God your which it will fall to you to give you will give from [the] house of [the] treasures of king the.
21 Mwen, mwen menm, Wa Artaxerxès, pibliye yon dekrè a tout trezorye ki nan pwovens lòtbò rivyè a, ke nenpòt sa ke Esdras, prèt la, skrib lalwa a Bondye syèl la a ta egzije a nou, fòk li fèt avèk swen,
And from me I Artaxerxes king the it is made a decree to all treasurers the who [are] in [the] region beyond river the that all that he will ask for you Ezra priest the [the] scribe of law the of [the] God of heavens the diligently let it be done.
22 jis menm rive a san talan ajan, san barik ble, san galon diven, san galon lwil, avèk sèl si li ta nesesè.
Up to silver talents one hundred and up to wheat cors one hundred and up to wine baths one hundred and up to baths oil one hundred and salt which not [is] writing.
23 Nenpòt sa ki kòmande pa Bondye syèl la, kite li fèt avèk zèl pou lakay Bondye syèl la, pou pa vin genyen kòlè Li kont wayòm a wa a avèk fis li yo.
All that [is] according to [the] decree of [the] God of heavens the let it be done exactly for [the] house of [the] God of heavens the that why? will it be anger on [the] kingdom of king the and sons his.
24 Anplis, nou fè nou konprann ke li pa pèmèt pou enpoze taks, kontribisyon obligatwa, ni frè lese pase sou okenn nan prèt yo, Levit yo, chantè yo, gadyen pòtay yo, Netinyen yo, ni sèvitè lakay Bondye sila a.
And to you [we are] making known that all priests the and Levites the singers the gatekeepers the temple servants the and [the] servants of [the] house of God this tribute tax and toll not [is] authorized to throw on them.
25 Ou menm, Esdras, selon sajès a Bondye ki nan men ou a, chwazi majistra yo avèk jij yo pou yo kab jije tout moun ki nan pwovens lòtbò rivyè a, menm tout sila ki konnen lalwa a Bondye pa ou a; epi ou kapab enstwi nenpòt moun ki manke konprann.
And you O Ezra according to [the] wisdom of God your which [is] in hand your appoint judges and judges that they will be (judging *Q(k)*) all people the which [is] in [the] region beyond river the all [those who] know [the] laws of God your and [one] who not [he is] knowing you will instruct.
26 Nenpòt moun ki refize obsève lalwa Bondye ou a, avèk lalwa a wa a, kite jijman vin tonbe sou li avèk severite, swa pou lanmò, swa mete l deyò nan peyi a, swa sezi byen li, oswa ba li prizon.”
And any who not he will be doing law the of God your and decree the of king the diligently judgment let it be done from him whether to death or (to banishment *Q(k)*) or to confiscation of properti and to imprisonment.
27 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt nou yo, ki te mete yon bagay konsa nan kè a wa a, pou fè bèl kay SENYÈ a ki Jérusalem nan;
[be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of ancestors our who he has put like this in [the] heart of the king to beautify [the] house of Yahweh which [is] in Jerusalem.
28 epi te lonje bay lanmou dous Li a mwen menm devan wa a avèk konseye li yo e devan tout chèf pwisan a wa yo. Se te konsa mwen te ranfòse pa men SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an, ki te sou mwen an, e mwen te rasanble mesye dirijan prensipal yo soti an Israël pou monte avè m.
And towards me he has extended covenant loyalty before the king and counselors his and to all [the] officials of the king mighty and I I strengthened myself according to [the] hand of Yahweh God my on me and I assembled! from Israel chiefs to go up with me.
