Esela 7
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.
And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king of Persia, Ezra the son of Serayah, the son of 'Azaryah, the son of Chilkiyah,
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 Achitub,
The son of Amaryah, the son of 'Azaryah, the son of Merayoth,
The son of Zerachyah, the son of 'Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
The son of Abishua', the son of Phinehas, the son of Elazar, 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; and he was a practised expounder in the law of Moses, which the Lord the God of Israel hath given; and the king gave him, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him, all his request.
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gate-keepers, and the temple-servants, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of king Artaxerxes.
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.
And 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 was the commencement of the expedition from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon 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 directed his heart to inquire in the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
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 which king Artaxerxes gave unto 'Ezra the priest, the expounder of the law, the expounder of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his statutes for 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, the king of kings, unto 'Ezra the priest, the expounder of the law of the God of heaven, the perfect, and so forth.
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.
By me is the order given, that every one who is freely willing in my kingdom out of the people of Israel, and their priests and Levites, to go up to Jerusalem, may go up with thee:
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.
Forasmuch as thou art sent on the part of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to make inquiry concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy 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 counsellors have freely offered unto 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 [freewill offerings of] silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offerings which the people and the priests offer 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 mayest thou buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings, and offer them upon 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.
And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do 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.
And the vessels which have been given unto thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou 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.
And the remainder that will yet be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to procure, procure 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.
And by me, me King Artaxerxes, is the order given unto all the treasurers who are beyond the river, that whatsoever 'Ezra the priest, the expounder of the law of the God of heaven, may demand of you, shall be done speedily.
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 up to one hundred cors of wheat, and up to one hundred baths of wine, and up to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing it.
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.
Whatsoever is ordered by the God of heaven shall be carefully done for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the kingdom 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.
And to you make we it known, that on any of the priests and Levites, singers, gate-keepers, and temple-servants, or ministers of this house of God, no one shall be empowered to impose any tax, tribute, or toll.
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.
And thou, 'Ezra, according to the wisdom of thy God which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, who are to judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and make ye them known to those that know them not.
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.
And if there be any one who will not execute the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let justice be speedily executed upon him, whether it be unto death or to banishment, or to a fine on 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 hath put the like of this in the heart of the king, to glorify the house of the Lord 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 who hath extended kindness unto me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the mighty princes of the king: and I strengthened myself according to the hand of the Lord my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel principal men to go up with me.
