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 the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and 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 says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
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 among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who 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 let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple 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.
And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, 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 those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
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.
Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
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.
Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 Hote hno kaawmnaw teh, sui 30, ngun 1,000, sarai 29.
And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 Suimanang 30, a phunlouk e ngun 410, alouke hno 1000 touh hoi.
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
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 vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
