Ezra 6

1 Eka Ruoth Darius nochiwo chik, kendo neginono e kuonde kano gik machon e kar keno man Babulon.

Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.

2 Karatas moban noyudi e kama oger motegno mar gengʼo wasigu mar Ekbatana e gwengʼ Media, kendo ma e gima nondik kuome: Chenro mar gima biro:

And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that [is] in the province of the Medes, a roll, and in it [was] a record thus written:

3 E higa mokwongo mar loch mar Ruoth Sairas, ruoth nochiwo chik kuom hekalu mar Nyasaye man Jerusalem kama. We hekalu ger kendo kaka kar chiwo misango, kendo we mise mare keti. Nyaka obedi fut piero aboro gaboro gi nus e bor mare kendo fut piero aboro gaboro e lach mare,

In the first year of Cyrus the king, [the same] Cyrus the king made a decree [concerning] the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the hight of it sixty cubits, [and] the breadth of it sixty cubits;

4 kod migawo adek mag kite mochwe kadhi malo gi migawo achiel mag bepe mochungi. Chudo margi mondo chul gi keno moa ka ruoth.

[With] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:

5 Bende, gigo mag dhahabu gi fedha mag od Nyasaye, mane Nebukadneza okawo koa e hekalu mar Jerusalem mi okelo Babulon, nyaka duog kargi e hekalu man Jerusalem; nyaka duog-gi e kar keno e od Nyasaye.

And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which [is] at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which [is] at Jerusalem, [every one] to its place, and place [them] in the house of God.

6 Koro in, Tatenai, jatelo mar Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai kaachiel gi un, jotelo wetegi mar gwengʼno, suduru mabor gi kanyo.

Now [therefore], Tatnai governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from thence:

7 Kik uketh tich hekaluni mar Nyasaye. We jatend jo-Yahudi kod jodong jo-Yahudi oger od Nyasaye e kare.

Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God in its place.

8 Kuom mano, achiwo chik mar gima onego itimne jodong jo-Yahudi e gedo mar odni mar Nyasaye: Gigo ma jogi otiyogo nyaka chul duto koa e keno mar ka ruoth, moa e pesa mochoki kuom Yufrate, mondo omi tich kik chungʼ.

Moreover, I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, [even] of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given to these men, that they be not hindered.

9 Gimoro amora midwaro kaka nyirwedhi, imbe, nyiimbe mar misango miwangʼo pep ne Nyasach polo, kod ngano, chumbi, divai gi mo, kaka okwa gi jodolo man Jerusalem nyaka migi pile ma ok olewo,

And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who [are] at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail:

10 mondo omi gichiw misengini ma moro Nyasach polo kendo olam ne ruoth gi yawuote obed gi ngima maber.

That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

11 Ewi mano, achiwo chik ni ka ngʼato oketho chikni, to nogol yiend tado mar ode mi gur piny kendo tweye e yien-no.

Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged upon it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

12 Mad Nyasaye, mosemiyo Nyinge olandore ka, lok ruoth moro amora kata joma tingʼo bedegi malo mondo olok chikni kata oketh hekaluni man Jerusalem. An, Darius asegolo chik, kendo chikni nyaka chopi ma ok orem.

And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall attempt to alter and to destroy this house of God which [is] at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.

13 To kuom chik mane Ruoth Darius ooro, Tatenai, jatend Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai gi joma negitiyogo kanyakla notimo kamano kuom tangʼ mathoth.

Then Tatnai governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.

14 Omiyo jodong jo-Yahudi nodhi nyime gi gedo kendo odhi maber e bwo yalo mar Hagai janabi gi Zekaria, nyakwar Ido. Negitieko gero hekalu kaluwore gi chik mar Nyasach Israel kod chike Sairas, Darius gi Artaksases, ruodhi Pasia.

And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished [it], according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

15 Hekalu notieki gero e odiechiengʼ mar adek mar dwe mar Adar, e higa mar auchiel mar loch Ruoth Darius.

And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

16 Eka jo-Israel, ma gin jodolo, jo-Lawi kod joma moko mane oa e twech notimo nyasi mar gwedho od Nyasaye gi ilo.

And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,

17 Kane gigwedho od Nyasaye negichiwo rwedhi mia achiel, imbe mia ariyo, nyithi rombe machwo mia angʼwen to kaka misango mar golo richo ne Israel, negichiwo diek apar gariyo machwo, moro ka moro ni dhout Israel.

And offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

18 Kendo negiketo jodolo kuondegi kod jo-Lawi e migepe mag-gi ne tich Nyasaye e Jerusalem, kaluwore gi gima ondikie Kitap Musa.

And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who [is] at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.

19 E odiechiengʼ mar apar gangʼwen mar dwe mokwongo, joma notwe notimo nyasi mar Pasaka.

And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth [day] of the first month.

20 Jodolo gi jo-Lawi nosepwodhore giwegi kendo giduto negiikore mapoth ne nyasi. Jo-Lawi noyangʼo nyarombo mar Pasaka ne joma noa e twech duto, ne owetegi ma jodolo kod gin giwegi.

For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them [were] pure, and [they] killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

21 Omiyo jo-Israel mane oa e twech nochamo Pasakano, kanyakla gi jogo duto mano ngʼanyone timbe mochido mag ogendini mamoko modak machiegni kodgi mondo omi gidwar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.

And the children of Israel, who had returned from captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,

22 Kuom ndalo abiriyo, negitimo Nyasi mar Makati ma ok oketie thowi gi ilo, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nosepongʼogi gi ilo kuom loko pach ruodh Asuria, mondo omi nokonygi e tich manie od Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.

And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
