1 Persia lengpa Cyrus vaipoh kum masapen chun Pakaiyin Jeremiah komma anaphondoh thuchu ana guilhunsah tan ahi. Pakaiyin Cyrus lungthim ana suthouvin alenggam pumpia thuphon khat simphong dingin anathot doh tan ahi.
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, Yahweh fulfilled his word that came from the mouth of Jeremiah, and stirred Cyrus's spirit. Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom. This is what was written and spoken:
2 “Persia lengpa Cyrus thupeh chu hiche hi ahi, Pakai van Pathen in leiset chunga leng gam jousehi keima eipe tan ahi. Aman Judah gamsunga Jerusalem ah ama dinga Houin khat tungdoh dingin eingansen ahi.
“Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, God of Heaven, gave me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem in Judea.
3 Mi koihileh ama mite ho jouse chu Jerusalem’a nache theiyu ahitai, Nangho Jerusalem’a nacheova Pakai Israel Pathen Jerusalem minna nahoupao Pakai Houin chu nagasah phat diu ahi. Chule Pathen in naum piuhen!
Whoever is from his people (may his God be with him) may go up to Jerusalem and build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 Amite ahingdoh tua hingnalai jouse chu hoikom munna khopem hijongleu, akhopem nao gam'a miten sana le dangka a ahin kitopi diu, thilto le gancha jong apehdiu, Jerusalem khopia Pathen Houin sahdoh teina dinga deichoma athilto diu kalvalla hijat pichu ahinpeh tha diu ahinalaiye,” ati.
People of any part of the kingdom where survivors of that land are living should provide them with silver and gold, possessions and animals, as well as a freewill offering for God's house in Jerusalem.”
5 Hijouchun Pathen in thempu hole Leviho lungsung ahin choh thouvin, Judah leh Benjamin phung lamkai ho Jerusalem a acheuva Pakai houin agasapha dingin asol tan ahi.
Then the heads of the ancestors' clans of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and Levites, and everyone whose spirit God stirred to go and build his house arose.
6 Aheng akomhon apanhu na in sana le dangka, thil le lo chuleh gancha jong apeuvin chuleh akholjin naova acholam diuvin jong apeuvin ahi. Amahon acham chamma ahin phaldoh’u chung chon in thil manlu tah tahjong tamtah apeuvin ahi.
Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
7 Lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in Jerusalem houin na anakoi khontheng hojong chu Cyrus lengpan amaho pathen houin a kon in ahin ladohtan ahi.
Cyrus king of Persia also released the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and put in his own gods' houses.
8 Cyrus in Persia sumchingpa Mithredath chu hiche thilho jouse chu asimtoh a Judah gamma kilekit ho lamkai pa Sheshbazzar khutna apehlut tan ahi.
Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
9 Noija hohi hichea thil kilepeh hochu ahi: - Sana a kisem kisilna kongho - somthum, dangka a kisem kisilna kong-sangkhat, gimnamtui lhutna lheng- somni le ko
This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
10 Sana khon-somthum, chuleh dangka kisem khon-jali le somkhat, chuleh adang dang-sangkhat ho chu ahi.
thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
11 Hicheng chu abonchan sang nga le jail alhing in ahi, sohchang mite Babylon gamma konna Jerusalem geija ahintol tou chun Sheshbazzar kitipan thilkeo hijatpi hi ahintol tha tan ahi.
There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went from Babylon to Jerusalem.
