Livre d'Esdra 1

JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Or la première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, pour accomplir la parole de Yahvé prononcée par Jérémie,Yahvé éveilla l'esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, qui fit proclamer -- et même afficher -- dans tout son royaume:	1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 "Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi de Perse: Yahvé, le Dieu du ciel, m'a remis tous les royaumes de la terre, c'estlui qui m'a chargé de lui bâtir un Temple à Jérusalem, en Juda.	2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Quiconque, parmi vous, fait partie de tout son peuple, que son Dieu soit avec lui! Qu'il monte àJérusalem, en Juda, et bâtisse le Temple de Yahvé, le Dieu d'Israël -- c'est le Dieu qui est à Jérusalem.	3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
4 Qu'à tous les rescapés, partout, la population des lieux où ils résident apporte une aide en argent, enor, en équipement et en montures, en même temps que des offrandes de dévotion pour le Temple de Dieu qui està Jérusalem."	4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Alors les chefs de famille de Juda et de Benjamin, les prêtres et les lévites, bref tous ceux dont Dieuavait éveillé l'esprit, se levèrent pour aller bâtir le Temple de Yahvé, à Jérusalem;	5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
6 et tous leurs voisins leur apportèrent toute sorte d'aide: argent, or, équipement, montures et cadeauxprécieux,, sans compter toutes les offrandes de dévotion.	6 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Le roi Cyrus fit prendre les ustensiles du Temple de Yahvé que Nabuchodonosor avait apportés deJérusalem et offerts au temple de son dieu.	7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Cyrus, roi de Perse, les remit aux mains de Mithridate, le trésorier, qui les dénombra pourSheshbaççar, le prince de Juda.	8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Voici leur inventaire: bassins d'or: 30; bassins d'argent: mille, réparés: 29;	9 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 coupes d'or: 30; coupes d'argent: mille, abîmées: 410; autres ustensiles: mille.	10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 Total des ustensiles d'or et d'argent: 5.400. Tout cela, Sheshbaççar le rapporta, quand on fitremonter les exilés de Babylone à Jérusalem.	11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
