< Ezra 3 >

1 Hla rhih a pha vaengah tah khopuei kah Israel ca rhoek khaw Jerusalem ah pilnam neh hlang pakhat bangla tingtun uh.
But, when the seventh month was come, and the sons of Israel were in cities, then did the people gather themselves together as one man, unto 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 arose—Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, —to offer thereon ascending-sacrifices, as it was written 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.
So they settled the altar upon its stands, for, dread, was upon them, because of the peoples of the countries, —therefore caused they to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, ascending-sacrifices for the morning and for the 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 festival of booths, as it was written, —and the ascending-offering of each day upon its own day, by number, according to regulation, the matter of a day upon its day;
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, afterwards, the continual ascending-sacrifice, and, on the new moons, and on all the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the hallowed things, —also for every one that volunteered a voluntary offering unto Yahweh.
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, began they to offer up ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, —but, the temple of Yahweh, had not had its foundation laid.
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 silver, unto the masons and carpenters, —and food and drink and oil, unto them of Zidon and unto them of Tyre, to bring in cedar-trees out of the Lebanon, unto the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia unto them.
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 in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak and the rest of their brethren—the priests and the Levites, and all that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and stationed the Levites, of twenty years old and upwards, to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh.
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.
So they took their station—even Jeshua, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah, as one man to preside over the doer of the work in the house of God, the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, 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 laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, then the priests, enrobed, took their stand with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to offer praise unto Yahweh, after the instructions of 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, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh—For he is good, for, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.
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, many of the priests and the Levites and the ancestral chiefs, who were old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, were weeping with a loud voice, —many, however, shouting and rejoicing, with voice raised on high;
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 the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people, —for, the people, did shout with a great shout, and, the noise, was heard afar off.
