Ezra 6
1 Te vaengah Darius manghai loh saithainah a paek tangloeng tih Babylon kah a khueh cabu im kah cabu te a thaih uh.
So King Darius ordered an investigation in the house of archives in Babylon.
2 Tedae Media paeng kah manghai im, Akhametha ah cayol te a hmuh tih a khui ah cathut a daek.
In the fortified city of Ecbatana in Media a scroll was found; this was its record:
3 Manghai Cyrus kah kum khat dongah tah manghai Cyrus amah loh Jerusalem kah Pathen im te saithainah a paek tih, “Im te hmueih aka nawn kah hmuen ah sa saeh. A khoengim te a sang dong sawmrhuk a ka dong sawmrhuk la saeng.
“In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus issued a decree about the house of God in Jerusalem: 'Let the house be rebuilt as a place for sacrifice, let its foundations be laid, let its height be sixty cubits, and its width sixty cubits,
4 Lung nu than thum, thing than at saeh. Hnonah ham te manghai im lamloh pae saeh.
with three rows of large stones and a row of new timber, and let the cost be paid by the king's house.
5 Pathen im hnopai pataeng sui khaw cak khaw, Nebukhadnezzar loh Jerusalem bawkim lamkah a loh tih Babylon la a khuen te mael saeh lamtah Jerusalem kah bawkim te amah hmuen la paan saeh lamtah Pathen im ah khueh laeh? a ti nah.
Now bring back the gold and silver objects belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon from the temple in Jerusalem and send them back to the temple in Jerusalem. You are to put them in the house of God.'
6 Tattenai, sok paem boei Shetharboznai neh sok paem kah a boei hui rhoek te lamloh val om laeh saeh.
Now Tattenai, the governor of the Province Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and associates who are in the Province Beyond the River, keep away!
7 Pathen im kah imsak nen he hlah uh laeh. Yahudi boei neh Yahudi a hamca rhoek loh Pathen im he amah hmuen la sa uh saeh.
Leave the work of this house of God alone. The governor and Jewish elders will build this house of God at that place.
8 Yahudi a hamca rhoek taengah na saii uh ham te kai lamloh saithainah om coeng tih Pathen im he sa saeh. Te vaengah manghai koe lamloh sok paem mangmu lamkah tluem tluem hnonah saeh. Hlang rhoek taengah pae saeh lamtah paa boel saeh.
I am ordering that you must do this for these Jewish elders who build this house of God: Funds from the king's tribute beyond the River will be used to pay these men so they do not have to stop their work.
9 A ngoe te tah vaan Pathen taengah hmueihhlutnah vaito ca neh tutal khaw tuca khaw, cangyen, lungkaehtael, misurtui neh situi khaw Jerusalem kah khosoih rhoek loh a hoe bangla a hnin, a hnin ah amih te dalrhanah om kolla pae.
Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, or lambs for the burnt offerings to the God of Heaven, grain, salt, wine, or oil according to the command of the priests in Jerusalem—give these things to them every day without fail.
10 Vaan pathen taengah hlihlim neh a nawn la om uh saeh lamtah manghai neh a ca rhoek kah hingnah ham thangthui saeh.
Do this so they will bring the offering in to the God of Heaven and pray for me, the king, and my sons.
11 Kai lamkah saithainah om tih he ol aka poe hlang boeih tah a im kah rhungsut te phong saeh lamtah a sut phoeiah anih te hoei saeh. Te dongah a im khaw kawnhnawt la om saeh.
I am ordering that if anyone violates this decree, a beam must be pulled from his house and he must be impaled on it. His house must then be turned into a rubbish heap because of this.
12 Pathen loh amah ming a khueh thil Jerusalem kah Pathen im he hoilae ham neh palet ham a kut a thueng boeih tah manghai neh pilnam khaw palet van saeh. Kai Darius kah saithainah ka khueh he tluem tluem saii saeh,” a ti.
May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree, or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, am ordering this. Let it be done with diligence!”
13 Sok paem boei Tattenai, Shetharboznai neh a hui rhoek long khaw manghai Darius kah a pat bangla tluem tluem a saii uh.
Then because of the decree sent by Darius the king, Tattenai, the governor of the Province Beyond the River, and Shethar-Bozenai and his associates, did everything that King Darius had ordered.
14 Yahudi a hamca rhoek khaw a sak uh vaengah tonghma Haggai neh Iddo capa Zekhariah kah olphong dongah thaihtak uh. Persia manghai Cyrus, Darius neh Artaxerxes lamkah saithainah dongkah Israel Pathen kah saithainah bangla a sak uh tih a coeng uh.
So the Jewish elders built and prospered under the teaching of Haggaithe prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They completed their buildings according to the decree of the God of Israel and by the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
15 Te dongah manghai Darius ram kah a kum rhuk, Adar hla, hnin thum hlan ah im te a coeng.
The house was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of King Darius' reign.
16 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek, hlangsol ca rhoek boeih loh Pathen im nawnnah he kohoenah neh a saii uh.
The Israelite people, priests, Levites, and the rest of the captives celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 Te vaengah Pathen im nawnnah ham te vaito yakhat, tutal yakhat, tuca ya li, boirhaem dongkah ham boirhaem maae tal khaw a nawn uh. Israel pum hlai nit ham te Israel koca kah hlangmi tarhing la a nawnuh.
They offered one hundred bulls, one hundred rams, and four hundred lambs for the dedication of God's house. Twelve male goats were also offered as a sin offering for all Israel, one for each tribe in Israel.
18 Moses cabu dongkah cadaek bangla Jerusalem kah Pathen imsak dongah khosoih rhoek khaw amah boelnah neh, Levi khaw amah tarhoi neh a pai sakuh.
They also assigned the priests and Levites to work divisions for the service of God in Jerusalem, as it was written in the Book of Moses.
19 Tedae vangsawn koca rhoek loh hla khat hnin hlai li vaengah Yoom te a saii uh.
So those who had been in exile celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek loh pakhat la caihcil uh tih amih te boeih a cim phoeiah tah vangsawn ca boeih ham khaw, a manuca khosoih ham khaw amamih ham Yoom a ngawn uh.
The priests and Levites all purified themselves and slaughtered the Passover sacrifices for all those who had been in exile, including themselves.
21 Te vaengah vangsawn lamkah aka mael Israel ca rhoek neh a kaepvai khohmuen kah namtom tihnai khui lamloh Israel Pathen BOEIPA te toem ham aka hoep uh boeih loh a caak uh.
The Israelite people who ate some of the Passover meat were those who had returned from exile and had separated themselves from the uncleanness of the people of the land and sought Yahweh, the God of Israel.
22 Vaidamding khotue khaw hnin rhih khuiah kohoenah neh a saii uh. Israel Pathen kah Pathen im bitat dongah amih kut te moem pah ham Assyria manghai loh amih taengah lungbuei a tho dongah BOEIPA loh amih te ko a hoe sak.
They joyfully celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days, for Yahweh had brought them joy and turned the heart of Assyria's king to strengthen their hands in the work of his house, the house of the God of Israel.
