Ezra 3
1 Hla rhih a pha vaengah tah khopuei kah Israel ca rhoek khaw Jerusalem ah pilnam neh hlang pakhat bangla tingtun uh.
And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.
2 Te vaengah Jozadak capa Jeshua neh a manuca khosoih rhoek, Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel neh a manuca rhoek tah thoo uh tih Pathen kah hlang, Moses kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla, a soah hmueihhlutnah nawn hamla Israel Pathen kah hmueihtuk te a suem uh.
Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.
3 Khohmuen pilnam lamloh amih taengah mueirhih la om cakhaw a tungkho ah hmueihtuk a suem uh. Te phoeiah a soah BOEIPA kah hmueihhlutnah te khuen tih hlaem neh mincang kah hmueihhlutnah la a nawn uh.
They put the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the people of the countries: and they made burned offerings on it to the Lord, even burned offerings morning and evening.
4 A daek bangla pohlip khotue te a saii uh. Te vaengah a hnin, hnin kah olthui laitloeknah bangla a hnin, hnin kah hmueihhlutnah khaw a tarhing neh a khueh.
And they kept the feast of tents, as it is recorded, making the regular burned offerings every day by number, as it is ordered; for every day what was needed.
5 Sainoek hmueihhlutnah a hnukah khaw hlasae ham neh BOEIPA kah a ciim khoning boeih ham, BOEIPA taengah kothoh aka puhlu boeih ham khaw a khuehuh.
And after that, the regular burned offering and the offerings for the new moons and all the fixed feasts of the Lord which had been made holy, and the offering of everyone who freely gave his offering to the Lord.
6 Hla rhih kah hnin at lamloh BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah nawn ham a tong uh dae BOEIPA kah bawkim tah suen hlan.
From the first day of the seventh month they made a start with the burned offerings, but the base of the Temple of the Lord had still not been put in its place.
7 Te dongah tangka te lungto aka dae taeng neh kutthai taengah a paek uh. Caak neh buhkoknah khaw, situi khaw Sidoni taeng neh Tyre taengah a paekuh. Amih te tah Persia manghai Cyrus kah ngaihpueinah bangla Lebanon lamkah lamphai thing te Joppa tuipuei hil aka puen la omuh.
And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.
8 A kum bae dongah tah amih te Jerusalem kah Pathen im la pawk uh. A hla bae dongah Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel, Jozadak capa Jeshua, a boeinaphung kah a coih khosoih neh Levi rhoek, tamna lamkah aka mael Jerusalem boeih loh a tong uh. Te phoeiah tongpaca kum kul neh a so hang Levi rhoek te BOEIPA im bitat soah aka mawt la a pai sakuh.
Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by 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 from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.
9 Te vaengah Jeshua koca khaw a boeinaphung ah, Kadmiel neh anih koca khaw, Judah koca rhoek khaw, Henadad koca khaw amah koca neh, Levi rhoek khaw amah boeinaphung ah, Pathen im kah bitat aka saii te mawt ham, pakhat la pai uh.
Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.
10 BOEIPA bawkim te aka sa rhoek loh a suen van vaengah khosoih rhoek tah thoicam uh tih olueng neh paiuh. Asaph koca Levi rhoek khaw Israel manghai David kut dongkah bangla BOEIPA thangthen ham tlaklak neh omuh.
And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel.
11 A sitlohnah te Israel taengah kumhal duela a then tangloeng dongah BOEIPA te thangthen ham neh uem hamla a doo uh. BOEIPA im a suen dongah BOEIPA te a thangthen tih pilnam boeih khaw tamlung neh a len la yuhui uh.
And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.
12 Tedae khosoih rhoek a kum ngai neh Levi rhoek khaw, a napa patong rhoek, boeilu rhoek khaw lamhma kah im aka hmu rhoek tah im te a suen vaengah a mikphi neh ol a len la rhap uh. Te phoeiah tamlung neh, kohoenah ol neh muep pomsang uh.
But a number of the priests and Levites and the heads of families, old men who had seen the first house, when the base of this house was put down before their eyes, were overcome with weeping; and a number were crying out with joy:
13 Te dongah pilnam kah kohoenah tamlung ol khaw, pilnam rhah ol khaw loha voel pawh. Pilnam te tamlung neh muep a yuhui dongah khohla lamloh ol a yaak.
So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.
