JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
8 Cyrus, roi de Perse, les remit aux mains de Mithridate, le trésorier, qui les dénombra pourSheshbaççar, le prince de Juda.	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.
9 Voici leur inventaire: bassins d'or: 30; bassins d'argent: mille, réparés: 29;	9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 coupes d'or: 30; coupes d'argent: mille, abîmées: 410; autres ustensiles: mille.	10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
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 silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
