Yéchoua et Zorobabel rétablissent le culte
1
When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3
In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4
They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5
and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
6
From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh's temple was not yet laid.
7
They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.
8
Now in the second year of their coming to God's house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh's house.
9
Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God's house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10
When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh's temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11
They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh had been laid.
12
But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13
so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.

Yéchoua et Zorobabel rétablissent le culte
1
Or le septième mois approchant, et les enfants d'Israël étant dans leurs villes, le peuple s'assembla à Jérusalem comme si ce n'eût été qu'un seul homme.
2
Alors Jésuah, fils de Jotsadak, se leva avec ses frères les Sacrificateurs, et Zorobabel fils de Salathiel, avec ses frères, et ils bâtirent l'autel du Dieu d'Israël, pour y offrir les holocaustes, ainsi qu'il est écrit dans la Loi de Moïse, homme de Dieu.
3
Et ils posèrent l'autel de Dieu sur sa base, parce qu'ils avaient peur en eux-mêmes des peuples du pays, et ils y offrirent des holocaustes à l'Eternel, les holocaustes du matin et du soir.
4
Ils célébrèrent aussi la fête solennelle des Tabernacles, en la manière qu'il est écrit [dans la Loi] ; et ils [offrirent] les holocaustes chaque jour, autant qu'il en fallait, selon que portait l'ordinaire de chaque jour ;
5
Après cela, l'holocauste continuel, et ceux des nouvelles lunes, et de toutes les fêtes solennelles de l'Eternel, lesquelles on sanctifiait, et de tous ceux qui présentaient une offrande volontaire à l'Eternel.
6
Dès le premier jour du septième mois ils commencèrent à offrir des holocaustes à l'Eternel ; bien que le Temple de l'Eternel ne fût pas encore fondé.
7
Mais ils donnèrent de l'argent aux tailleurs de pierres et aux charpentiers, [ils donnèrent] aussi à manger et à boire, et de l'huile, aux Sidoniens et aux Tyriens, afin qu'ils amenassent du bois de cèdre du Liban à la mer de Japho, selon la permission que Cyrus, Roi de Perse, leur en avait donnée.
8
Et la seconde année de leur arrivée en la maison de Dieu à Jérusalem, au second mois, Zorobabel, fils de Salathiel, et Jésuah, fils de Jotsadak, et le reste de leurs frères, les Sacrificateurs, et les Lévites, et tous ceux qui étaient venus de la captivité à Jérusalem, commencèrent [à fonder le Temple] ; et ils établirent des Lévites, depuis l'âge de vingt ans et au-dessus, pour presser l'ouvrage de la maison de l'Eternel.
9
Et Jésuah assistait avec ses fils et ses frères, et Kadmiel avec ses fils, enfants de Juda, pour presser ceux qui faisaient l'ouvrage en la maison de Dieu ; [et] les fils de Hémadad, avec leurs fils et leurs frères, Lévites.
10
Et lorsque ceux qui bâtissaient fondaient le Temple de l'Eternel, on y fit assister les Sacrificateurs revêtus, ayant leurs trompettes ; et les Lévites, enfants d'Asaph, avec les cymbales, pour louer l'Eternel, selon l'institution de David, Roi d'Israël.
11
Et ils s'entre-répondaient en louant et célébrant l'Eternel, [chantant] : Qu'il est bon, parce que sa gratuité demeure à toujours sur Israël. Et tout le peuple jeta de grands cris de joie en louant l'Eternel, parce qu'on fondait la maison de l'Eternel.
12
Mais plusieurs des Sacrificateurs et des Lévites, et des Chefs des pères qui étaient âgés, [et] qui avaient vu la première maison sur son fondement, se représentant cette maison-là, pleuraient à haute voix ; mais plusieurs élevaient leur voix avec des cris de réjouissance, et d'allégresse.
13
Et le peuple ne pouvait discerner la voix des cris de joie, et d'allégresse, d'avec la voix des pleurs du peuple ; cependant le peuple jetait de grands cris de joie, en sorte que la voix fut entendue bien loin.
