Ezra 3
1 Lhasagi ahunglhin toh kilhonin Israelte chu ama ama khopia ahung chenglut taovin ahi. Hichun Israel mipite jouse chu lungkhat tah in Jerusalem’ah ahung kikhom taovin ahi.
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 Hichun Jehozadak chapa Jeshua chu athempu chan khompiho Shealtiel chapa Zerubabel leh ainsung mite toh ahung kitho hom uvin, Israel Pathen maicham chu ahin sapha tauvin ahi. Pathen mipa Mose thuhil banga pumgo thilto chu Pakai maichama asem got u ahi.
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 Israelte chun amun a anacheng saho chu ginna anei vangun maicham chu asempha uvin ahi. Hijou chun amahon jingkah nilhah in Pakai maicham achun pumgo thilto anabol jeng un ahi.
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 Amahon Lhambuh Kut abollun, hichu Mose daan dungjuija niseh le anikho a ngaichat dolla pumgo thiltoa kilhaina ding jongchu atoh jengun ahi.
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 Pakaiyin agonpeh u dungjuijin, angaija pumgo thilto dinga apediu ahin lhathah jousea kibol thilto ding ahin chuleh kumlhum seh a kut ho dingin, ahin tohdoh jiuvin ahi.
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 Lhambuh Kut kipat masang ni somle nga chan nileh thempu hon Pakai kom’ah pumgo thilto a dingin kilhaina anei masa jiuvin ahi. Hichehi Pakai houin kisah masang’a govam kilhaina chu ana pantauvin ahi.
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 Hijouchun mipiten thihkheng them holeh thingthem bolho athalah un chuleh Tyre leh Sidon akonin thing kitan bongho ahinpo uvin, aman dingin nehle chah lengpitwi le Olive thao anapeuvin ahi. Thingtum hochu Lebanon molla konin ahinpo uvin Mediterannean Twikhanglen pang juijah Joppa geijin akithol lhah sah un ahi. Hichehi Cyrus lengpa phatsah na noiya abol'u ahi.
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 Tun Jerusalem ahunglhun jou’u kumni le lhani channa in Pathen Houin sah akipan taovin ahi. Natongho chu sohchanna a kona hung potdoh jouse le Shealtiel chapa Zerubababel chuleh Jehozadak chapa Jeshua leh athempu chanpi hotoh chuleh Levite kum somni lhing holeh aval hochu Pakai houin sahphatna in alamkaijin ana pangun ahi.
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 Pathen houin sa hochu Jeshua le achate chule asopiteho Kadmiel le asopiho chujongleh Hodaviah chilhah ho jouse avesui jin ana pang un ahi. Hiche anatoh naova hin Henadad insung leh evite nana kithopiu vin ahi.
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 Hiche insaho hin Pakai houin chu aleibul ahin tundoh phat uvin thempu hon avon’u ahin kivon’un sumkon mut dingin amun cheh u ahi kilo uvin ahi. Hiteng chuleh David lengpan anasemtoh bangin Asaph chilhah ten Pakai thangvahna in atumging thei ho ahin suging uvin ahi.
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 Thangvah pumin Pakai vahchoila ahinsaovin ahi: “Amahi aphabehseh jenge! Aman Israelte alungset nahi tonsot nading ahi!” atiuve. Hijouchun mipi chun Pakai Houin leibul chu ahung kitundoh jeh chun Pakai thangvahna in hasap in asam un ahi.
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 Ahinlah thempuhon atehse holeh Levite chuleh phung upa dang ho Pakai Houin masa ana mukha jouse chu ha kan akap un ahi. Mipi adangho vang chu kipah tahin hasap’in asam un ahi.
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 Akipanao husa leh mipi phabep kana ogin chutoh kigom in hatah in ana thongin ahileh gamlatah a umhon jong ajaphauvin ahi.
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.
