Ezra 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:	1 En la première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, la parole de Yahvé proclamée par Jérémie s’accomplit: Yahvé éveilla l’esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse. De vive voix, mais aussi par écrit, Cyrus fit proclamer ceci dans tout son royaume:
2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.	2 “Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi de Perse: Yahvé, le Dieu des Cieux, m’a donné tous les royaumes de la terre; et voici qu’il me charge de reconstruire son temple à Jérusalem de Juda.
3 Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.	3 Que Dieu soit avec ceux qui appartiennent à son peuple et qui monteront à Jérusalem de Juda pour reconstruire le Temple de Yahvé Dieu d’Israël: c’est le Dieu qui est à Jérusalem.
4 And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”	4 Quel que soit l’endroit où ils se trouvent, les gens de la région où habitent les survivants leur fourniront de l’argent, de l’or, des biens, du bétail, ainsi que des offrandes volontaires pour le Temple de Dieu qui est à Jérusalem.”
5 And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.	5 Alors les chefs de famille de Juda et de Benjamin, les prêtres et les lévites, tous ceux dont Dieu avait ouvert l’esprit pour aller reconstruire le Temple de Yahvé à Jérusalem, se mirent en route.
6 And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.	6 Tous ceux qui les entouraient leur apportèrent leur aide de toutes sortes de façons: en leur donnant de l’argent, de l’or, des biens, du bétail, des objets précieux en quantité, en plus des offrandes volontaires.
7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.	7 Le roi Cyrus prit les objets du Temple de Yahvé que Nabukodonozor avait enlevés de Jérusalem et qu’il avait placés dans le temple de son dieu.
8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.	8 Cyrus roi de Perse les fit enlever par Mithridate, le trésorier, qui les compta devant Chechbassar, prince de Juda.
9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,	9 Voici leur liste: 30 bassins d’or, 1 000 bassins d’argent, 29 couteaux,
10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.	10 30 coupes d’or, 410 coupes d’argent de seconde qualité, 1 000 autres objets.
11 All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.	11 Il y avait en tout 5 400 objets d’or et d’argent; Chechbassar emporta tout cela au moment du retour des exilés de Babylone à Jérusalem.
