Ezra 1
1 Persia Siangpahrang Sairus a bawi kum pasuek nah, profet Jeremiah e pahni hno lahoi BAWIPA e lawk akuep nahanelah, a uknaeramnaw pueng dawk pathang hanelah, BAWIPA ni Sairus e lungthung a tahrue pouh.
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:
2 Persia siangpahrang Sairas ni a dei e teh, talai uknaeramnaw pueng teh, kalvan kaawm e BAWIPA Cathut ni kai koe na poe toe. Hatdawkvah, Judah ram Jerusalem vah im sak pouh hanelah kâ na poe.
Thus, saith Cyrus, king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given to me, —and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build for him a house, in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Nangmouh thung dawk apimaw amae tami lah na kaawm awh. Ahni koe Cathut ni rei awm khai naseh. Judah ram Jerusalem vah cei vaiteh, Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut e im hah sak naseh. Jerusalem vah kaawm e teh BAWIPA doeh.
Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, —and build the house of Yahweh God of Israel, (he, is God!) which is in Jerusalem;
4 Hmuen alouklouk lah kho kasaknaw ni, amamouh aonae koehoi Jerusalem e Cathut im hanelah a lungtho laihoi poe awh e hloilah ngun, tangka hoi sui, hnopai hoi saringnaw hoi kabawm awh naseh atipouh.
And, whosoever is left, of all the places where he doth sojourn, let the men of his place uphold him, with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, —along with a voluntary offering for the house of God, which is in Jerusalem.
5 Hahoi teh, Judah hoi Benjamin miphun imthung kahrawikungnaw hoi vaihmanaw, Levihnaw ni Jerusalem e BAWIPA im sak hanelah Cathut ni lungthin dawk thaw tawk pouh e taminaw pueng hoi a kamthaw awh.
Then arose the ancestral chiefs of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, —even every one whose spirit God had aroused, to go up to build the house of Yahweh, which was in Jerusalem;
6 Amamouh lungtho lahoi poe e dei laipalah, atengpam kaawmnaw ni hai ngun hnopai, sui, saringnaw hoi aphu kaawm poung e hnonaw hoi kabawp awh.
and, all they who were round about them, strengthened their hands, with utensils of silver, with gold with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, —besides any thing he had volunteered.
7 Siangpahrang Sairus hoi Nebukhadnezar ni BAWIPA e im dawk e hnopai Jerusalem hoi a sin teh, Cathut e im dawk a ta e naw, hah he a la pouh.
And, King Cyrus, brought forth the utensils of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his gods: —
8 Hote hnopainaw teh, Persia siangpahrang Sairus ni hno karingkung Mithredath kut dawk hoi a la sak teh Judah kahrawikung Sheshbazzar koevah be a parei hnukkhu vah a poe.
yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader of Judah.
9 Hote hno kaawmnaw teh, sui 30, ngun 1,000, sarai 29.
And, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
10 Suimanang 30, a phunlouk e ngun 410, alouke hno 1000 touh hoi.
bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, a thousand.
11 Sui hoi ngun hnopai abuemlah 5400 touh a pha. Sannaw teh Babilon hoi Jerusalem lah a cei kh ai navah Sheshbazzar ni hete hnonaw a sin awh.
All the utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred, —the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of Babylon unto Jerusalem.
