Esdras 1

| Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying, | La première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que s`accomplît la parole de l`Éternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie, l`Éternel réveilla l`esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, qui fit faire de vive voix et par écrit cette publication dans tout son royaume: |
| These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. | Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi des Perses: L`Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, m`a donné tous les royaumes de la terre, et il m`a commandé de lui bâtir une maison à Jérusalem en Juda. |
| Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem. | Qui d`entre vous est de son peuple? Que son Dieu soit avec lui, et qu`il monte à Jérusalem en Juda et bâtisse la maison de l`Éternel, le Dieu d`Israël! C`est le Dieu qui est à Jérusalem. |
| And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem. | Dans tout lieu où séjournent des restes du peuple de l`Éternel, les gens du lieu leur donneront de l`argent, de l`or, des effets, et du bétail, avec des offrandes volontaires pour la maison de Dieu qui est à Jérusalem. |
| Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem. | Les chefs de famille de Juda et de Benjamin, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, tous ceux dont Dieu réveilla l`esprit, se levèrent pour aller bâtir la maison de l`Éternel à Jérusalem. |
| And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered. | Tous leurs alentours leur donnèrent des objets d`argent, de l`or, des effets, du bétail, et des choses précieuses, outre toutes les offrandes volontaires. |
| And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods; | Le roi Cyrus rendit les ustensiles de la maison de l`Éternel, que Nebucadnetsar avait emportés de Jérusalem et placés dans la maison de son dieu. |
| Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah. | Cyrus, roi de Perse, les fit sortir par Mithredath, le trésorier, qui les remit à Scheschbatsar, prince de Juda. |
| And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives, | En voici le nombre: trente bassins d`or, mille bassins d`argent, vingt-neuf couteaux, |
| Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels. | trente coupes d`or, quatre cent dix coupes d`argent de second ordre, mille autres ustensiles. |
| There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem. | Tous les objets d`or et d`argent étaient au nombre de cinq mille quatre cents. Scheschbatsar emporta le tout de Babylone à Jérusalem, au retour de la captivité. |
