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.
Then, Darius the king, issued an edict, —and they made search in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
2 Tedae Media paeng kah manghai im, Akhametha ah cayol te a hmuh tih a khui ah cathut a daek.
And there was found in Achmetha, in the fortress which is in the province of Media, a roll, —and, thus, was it written therein, as a 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 Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, as to the house of God in Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be reared, —the height thereof, sixty cubits, the breadth thereof, sixty cubits;
4 Lung nu than thum, thing than at saeh. Hnonah ham te manghai im lamloh pae saeh.
layers of large stones, three, and one layer of new timber, —and, as for the expenses, out of the house of the king, let them be given.
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.
Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, took forth out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, let them again be taken to the temple which is in Jerusalem every one to its place, and lay them up 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, therefore, Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, the Apharsachites, who are Beyond the River, —be ye far from thence:
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.
let alone the work of this house of God, —the pasha of Judah, and the elders of Judah, this house of God, shall build upon its 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.
And, from me, is issued an edict, as to that which ye shall do, with these elders of Judah, for the building of this house of God, —That, of the resources of the king, even the tribute Beyond the River, forthwith, the expenses be given unto these men, for they must not be hindered.
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.
And, whatever may be the need—whether young bullocks or rams or lambs for ascending-sacrifices unto the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine or oil, according to the command of the priests who are in Jerusalem, —that it he given to them day by 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.
that they may be offering sweet-smelling sacrifices unto the God of the heavens, —and be praying for the life of the king, and his 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.
And, from me, is issued an edict, that, any man who shall alter this message, let timber be torn out of his house, and being lifted up let him be fastened thereunto, —and his house, a dunghill, be made for 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.
and, the God who hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy any king or people, who shall put forth their hand to alter to destroy this house of God, which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued an edict, forthwith, let it be done.
13 Sok paem boei Tattenai, Shetharboznai neh a hui rhoek long khaw manghai Darius kah a pat bangla tluem tluem a saii uh.
Then, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
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.
And, the elders of the Jews, went on building and prospering, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, —they both built and finished, owing to the edict of the God of Israel, and owing to the edict of Cyrus and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 Te dongah manghai Darius ram kah a kum rhuk, Adar hla, hnin thum hlan ah im te a coeng.
And this house was finished, by the third day of the month Adar, —the which was the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
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.
Then did the sons of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the Sons of the Exile, keep 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.
and offered, for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks, one hundred, rams, two hundred, lambs, four hundred, —and, he-goats, as a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, according to the number of the tribes of 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.
And they set up the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God, which was in Jerusalem, —as it is written, in the Book of Moses.
19 Tedae vangsawn koca rhoek loh hla khat hnin hlai li vaengah Yoom te a saii uh.
And the Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth 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.
for the priests and the Levites, had purified themselves, as one man, all of them, were pure, —so they slaughtered the passover for all the Sons of the Exile, and for their brethren the priests, and for 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.
Therefore the sons of Israel who had returned from the Exile and all who had separated themselves from the impurity of the nations of the land unto them, did eat, —to seek Yahweh, 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.
and kept the festival of unleavened cakes seven days, with joy, —for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria towards them, to strengthen their hands, in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
