Ezra 3
1 Kane dwe mar abiriyo ochopo kendo jo-Israel nosechako dak e miechgi, negichokore kaka joka ngʼato achiel e Jerusalem.
But, when the seventh month was come, and the sons of Israel were in cities, then did the people gather themselves together as one man, unto 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 arose—Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, —to offer thereon ascending-sacrifices, as it was 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.
So they settled the altar upon its stands, for, dread, was upon them, because of the peoples of the countries, —therefore caused they to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, ascending-sacrifices for the morning and for the 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.
And they kept the festival of booths, as it was written, —and the ascending-offering of each day upon its own day, by number, according to regulation, the matter of a day upon its day;
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, afterwards, the continual ascending-sacrifice, and, on the new moons, and on all the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the hallowed things, —also for every one that volunteered a voluntary offering unto Yahweh.
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, began they to offer up ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, —but, the temple of Yahweh, had not had its foundation 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.
And they gave silver, unto the masons and carpenters, —and food and drink and oil, unto them of Zidon and unto them of Tyre, to bring in cedar-trees out of the Lebanon, unto the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia unto them.
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 in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak and the rest of their brethren—the priests and the Levites, and all that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and stationed the Levites, of twenty years old and upwards, to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh.
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.
So they took their station—even Jeshua, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah, as one man to preside over the doer of the work in the house of God, the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, 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.
And, when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, then the priests, enrobed, took their stand with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to offer praise unto Yahweh, after the instructions 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.
And, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh—For he is good, for, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.
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 priests and the Levites and the ancestral chiefs, who were old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, were weeping with a loud voice, —many, however, shouting and rejoicing, with voice raised on high;
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 distinguish the noise of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people, —for, the people, did shout with a great shout, and, the noise, was heard afar off.
