Ezra 3
1 Kane dwe mar abiriyo ochopo kendo jo-Israel nosechako dak e miechgi, negichokore kaka joka ngʼato achiel e Jerusalem.
When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Eka Jeshua wuod Jozadak kod jodolo wetene kod Zerubabel wuod Shealtiel gi jogo mane tiyo kode nochako gero kendo mar misango mar Nyasach Israel mondo time chiwo mar misango miwangʼo pep, kaluwore gi gima ondiki e Chike Musa, ngʼat Nyasaye.
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the cohanim, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Kata obedo nine giluoro joma ne olworogi kamano, negigero kendo mar misango e mise mare mi gichiwo misango miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye, misango mokinyi kaachiel gi modhiambo.
In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 Bangʼe kaluwore gi gima ondiki, negitimo nyasi mar Sawo mar kiche ka gin gi kwan mar misengini miwangʼo pep mowinjore mar odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ.
They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 Bangʼ mano, negichiwo misango miwangʼo pep mapile pile, misango mar Dwe Manyien kod sewni moyier mag Jehova Nyasaye, kaachiel gi mago mokel kaka chiwo mar hera ne Jehova Nyasaye.
and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.
6 E odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abiriyo, negichako kelo chiwo mar misengini miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye, kata obedo ni mise mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ne pok ochaki.
From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD's temple was not yet laid.
7 Eka negichiwo pesa ne jogedo kod funde bao, kendo gichiwo chiemo gi math gi mo ne jo-Sidon gi jo-Turo, mondo omi gikel sirni mag sida koluwo nam koa Lebanon nyaka Jopa, kaluwore gi thuolo mane ochiw gi Sairas ruodh Pasia.
They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Koresh King of Persia.
8 E dwe mar ariyo mar higa mar ariyo bangʼ kane gichopo e od Nyasaye e Jerusalem, Zerubabel wuod Shealtiel, Jeshua wuod Jozadak kod owetege mamoko (jodolo gi jo-Lawi kod jogo duto mane odwogo Jerusalem koa e twech) nochako tich, ka giyiero jo-Lawi moromo higni piero ariyo kod jomadongo mondo ginon gedo mar od Jehova Nyasaye.
Now in the second year of their coming to God's house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the cohanim and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD's house.
9 Jeshua gi yawuote kod owetene gi Kadmiel kod yawuote (ma nyikwa Hodavia) kod yawuot Henadad gi yawuote kod owetene, ma gin jo-Lawi duto, noriwore kanyakla ka gingʼiyo jogo matiyo e od Nyasaye.
Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God's house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 Ka jogedo noketo mise mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, jodolo korwako lepgi mag dolo ka gin gi turumbete, kod jo-Lawi (ma yawuot Asaf) ka gin-gi ongengʼo, nokawo keregi mondo gipak Jehova Nyasaye, kaka nochan gi Daudi ruodh Israel.
When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD's temple, they set the cohanim in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 Ka gipako Jehova Nyasaye kendo gigoyone erokamano ne giwerne kama: “Jehova Nyasaye ber; kendo hera mare ne jo-Israel osiko nyaka chiengʼ.” To ji duto nogoyo koko matek mar Pak ne Jehova Nyasaye, nikech mise mar od Jehova Nyasaye noketi.
They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
12 To jodolo machon kod jo-Lawi gi jotend anywola, mane oseneno hekalu mokwongo, noywak matek ka gineno kiketo mise mar hekalu, to ji mamoko nokok gi ilo.
But many of the cohanim and Levites and heads of fathers' households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13 Onge ngʼama ne nyalo pogo dwol mar goyo koko mar ilo gi dwol mar ywak, nikech ji nogoyo koko matek, kendo dwolno nowinj gi kuma bor.
so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
