1 Ode bagohame gidigili, Adasegesisi da Besia hina bagade esalea, dunu afadafa ea dio amo Esela da esalu. Ea aowalali aowa da musa: gobele salasu hina ea dio amo Elane. Esela ea aowa fi da agoane esalusu.
Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
2 Elane amoea mano da Elia: isa, amoea mano da Finia: se amoea mano da Abisiua amalu Bugai, Usai, Selahaia, Mila: iode, A:salaia, A:malaia, Ahaidabe, Sa: idoge, Sia: lame, Hiligaia, A:salaia, Sila: iya amalu Esela.
the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
6 Esela da Isala: ili Hina Gode amo Ea sema Mousesegili dedene i, amo noga: ledafa dawa: i galu. Esela ea Hina Gode da e hahawane dogolegele fidisu. Amaiba: le, Besia hina bagade da ea adole ba: i liligi ema iasu. Ode fesuale amo Adasegesisi da Besia ouligi, Esela da Ba: bilone soge fisili Yelusaleme sogega gobele salasu dunu, Lifai dunu, Debolo diasu gesami hea: su dunu, Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu amola Debolo hawa: hamosu dunu, amo mogili gilisili oule asi.
this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.
Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 Ilia da Ba: bilone soge yolesili asi eso magobo amola oubi magobo amoga, Gode Ea fidibiba: le, eso magobo amola oubi biyadu amoga Yelusalemega doaga: i.
He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.
10 Esela da eno liligi mae dawa: le, eso huluane Hina Gode Ea sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i huluane idilalu, amola defele hawa: hamosu. Amola Isala: ili dunu ilia noga: le dawa: ma: ne, e da Gode Ea sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i ilima olelesu.
For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
11 Esela da gobele salasu dunu amola bagade dawa: su dunu. E da sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i amo Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunuma i, amo huluane bagade dawa: i. Adasegesisi da Eselama amo meloa dedene i.
Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:
12 “Na da Adasegesisi, Besia hina bagade. Na da di, Esela, gobele salasu dunu amola Hebene Gode Ea sema bagade dawa: su dunu, dima meloa dedene iaha.
Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
13 Na sia: da na soge huluane ganodini, nowa Isala: ili dunu, gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu, nowa da dima sigi masusa: dawa: sea, ilia da masunu da defea.
I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
14 Na amola na gasolo dunu fesuale gala da di Yelusaleme amola Yuda soge amoea hou abedema: ne asula ahoa. Di da dia Gode Ea sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i amoma ouligisu dunu. Amaiba: le, amo dunu ilia sema amoma nabasu hou ba: la masa.
Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
15 Na amola na gasolo dunu da gouli, silifa amola eno iasu liligi, Isala: ili Gode amo Ea Debolo diasu da Yelusalemega diala amoga legemusa: , dilima imunusa: dawa: lala. Amaiba: le, amo liligi, di lale, gaguli masa.
and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16 Di ahoasea, gouli amola silifa dia Ba: bilone sogega lidi amo Godema imunusa: Isala: ili dunu amola gobele salasu dunu amola ilia da ilia Gode Ea Debolo diasu Yelusaleme ganodini amoma i, amo amola gaguli masa.
and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.
17 Amo muniga, dawa: iwane bidi lama. Di bulamagau, sibi gawali, sibi mano, gagoma amola waini, amo Yelusaleme Debolo diasu ganodini oloda da: iya gobele salasu hamoma: ne, bidi lama.
Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 Di da liligi gouli amola silifa hame lai oda mogili dialebe ba: sea, dia fi dunu ilia hanaiga, Gode Ea hanai defele, liligi lamu da defea.
Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
19 Di da ofodo huluane debolo diasu amo ganodini hawa: hamoma: ne dima i, amo Yelusalemega doaga: sea, Godema ima.
The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 Amola adi liligi eno dia Debolo diasu amogili lamusa: hanai galea, amo liligi di hina bagade ea muni lelegesu amoga lama.
Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
21 Amola na da eagene muni ouligisu dunu Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge amo ganodini ilima amane sia: sa. ‘Esela gobele salasu dunu amola Hebene Esalebe Gode Ea sema bagade dawa: su dunu amo da dilima liligi adole ba: sea, hedolowane ema ima.
I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
22 Huluane ima. Be silifa ea dioi defei 3,400 gilogala: me, widi ea dioi defei 10,000 gilogala: me, waini ea defei 2,000 lida amola olife susuligi ea defei 2,000 lida amo defei mae baligima. Be deme ilia hanai defele ima.
up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
23 Noga: le dawa: ma! Liligi huluane Hebene Esalebe Gode da Ea Debolo diasu ganodini legemusa: dawa: sea, amo ima. Bai, agoane hamosea, E da hobea nama, amola fa: no mabe Besia hina bagade dunu ilima hame ougimu.
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Dilia eagene dunu! Dilia gobele salasu dunu, Lifai dunu, gesami hea: su dunu, sosodo aligisu dunu amola debolo hawa: hamosu dunu huluane ilima eagene su (da: gisi) maedafa lama.
Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.
25 Di, Esela! Gode da dima bagade dawa: su ia dagoiba: le, di ouligisu dunu amola fofada: su dunu ilegema. Ilia da dunu huluane Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge ganodini Gode Ea sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i amoma fa: no bobogesa, amo ouligima: ne sia: ma. Amola nowa da Gode Ea sema hame dawa: sa, ilima amo sema olelema.
You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who does not know them.
26 Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sema o Besia eagene sema amo hame nabasea, amo dunuma hedolowane se dabe ima. Ema agoane se dabe ima. Medole legema o mugululi masa: ne, sefasima o ea liligi huluane lama o se iasu diasu amo ganodini salima.” Adadegesisi da amo meloa dedene, Eselama i.
Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 Esela e amane sia: i, “Ninia aowalali ilia Hina Godema nodoma! Gode da Besia hina bagade ea dogo ganodini olelebeba: le, e da Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu Yelusaleme amo ganodini amo nodone fidisu.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem;
28 Gode da nama asigidafa hou hamobeba: le, Besia hina bagade, ea gasolo dunu amola ea gasa bagade ouligisu dunu huluane da nama hahawane gala. Na Hina Gode da na dogo denesiba: le, Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu bagohame da na sia: beba: le mugululi asi fisili, na sigi bu Isala: ili sogega buhagisa.
and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
