This Esdras went up from Babylon, and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God had given to Israel: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him.
7 Jo-Israel mamoko, kaachiel gi jodolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach kod jotij hekalu, bende nobiro Jerusalem e higa mar abiriyo mar Ruoth Artaksases.
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the children of the priests, and of the children of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and of the Nathinites to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 Ezra nochopo Jerusalem e dwe mar abich mar higa mar abiriyo mar ruoth.
And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king.
9 Nochako wuodhe koa Babulon e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo, kendo nochopo Jerusalem e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abich, nimar lwedo mangʼwon mar Nyasache ne ni kuome.
For upon the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem according to the good hand of his God upon him.
10 Nimar Ezra nosechiwore owuon ne somo matut kendo rito Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye, kod puonjo chikene gi buchene e Israel.
For Esdras had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do and to teach in Israel the commandments and judgment.
11 Ma e baruwa machalre gi mane mane Ruoth Artaksases omiyo Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj, ngʼatno mosomo weche maluwore gi chike kod buche Jehova Nyasaye ne Israel:
And this is the copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe instructed in the words and commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies in Israel.
12 Artaksases, ruoth mar ruodhi, Ne Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj mar Chik Nyasach Polo: Amosi.
Artaxerxes king of kings to Esdras the priest, the most learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven, greeting.
13 Koro achiwo chik ni ja-Israel moro amora manie pinya, kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, madwaro dhi Jerusalem kodi, nyalo dhi.
It is decreed by me, that all they of the people of Israel, and of the priests and of the Levites in my realm, that are minded to go into Jerusalem, should go with thee.
14 Oori gi ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko abiriyo mondo inon wach kaka Juda gi Jerusalem dhi kaluwore gi chik Nyasachi manie lweti.
For thou art sent from before the king, and his seven counsellors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem according to the law of thy God, which is in thy hand.
15 To bende, nyaka idhi gi fedha kod dhahabu ma ruoth gi jongʼadne rieko osechiwo kuom hero mag-gi giwegi ne Nyasach Israel, ma kar dak mare en Jerusalem,
And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
16 kaachiel gi fedha gi dhahabu duto ma unyalo yudo koa e gwengʼ mar Babulon, kanyakla gi chiwo ma ji kod jodolo golo ma en chiwo mar hera ne hekalu mar Nyasachgi e Jerusalem.
And all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, and that the people is willing to offer, and that the priests shall offer of their own accord to the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem,
17 Gi pesani nyaka ine ni ingʼiewo rwedhi, imbe kod nyithi rombe machwo, kanyakla gi chiwo mag-gi mag cham kod misango miolo piny, kendo gitimgo misango ewi kendo mar hekalu mar Nyasachi e Jerusalem.
Take freely, and buy diligently with this money, calves, rams, lambs, with the sacrifices and libations of them, and offer them upon the altar of the temple of your God, that is in Jerusalem.
18 In kod oweteni ma jo-Yahudi unyalo timo gima uneno ka ber gi fedha gi dhahabu modongʼ, kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasachi.
And if it seem good to thee, and to thy brethren to do any thing with the rest of the silver and gold, do it according to the will of your God.
19 Chiwne Nyasach Jerusalem gigo duto moket e lweti mar dendo Nyasaye e hekalu mar Nyasachi.
The vessels also, that are given thee for the sacrifice of the house of thy God, deliver thou in the sight of God in Jerusalem.
20 Kendo gimoro amora midwaro mar hekalu mar Nyasachi ma inyalo bedo gi thuolo mar chiwo, inyalo chiwe koa e keno ma ka ruoth.
And whatsoever more there shall be need of for the house of thy God, how much soever thou shalt have occasion to spend, it shall be given out of the treasury, and the king’s exchequer, and by me.
21 Koro an, Ruoth Artaksases, achiwo chik ni kuonde keno duto mag Yufrate ochiw gi chia gimoro amora ma Ezra jadolo, japuonj Chik mar Nyasach polo, nyalo kwayou, kaka
I Artaxerxes the king have ordered and decreed to all the keepers of the public chest, that are beyond the river, that whatsoever Esdras the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, you give it without delay,
22 fedha madirom kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen, gunde mag ngano ma pek romo kilo alufu apar gaboro, divai maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, mo maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, kod chumbi mathoth ma ok nyal pim.
Unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred cores of wheat, and unto a hundred bates of wine, and unto a hundred bates of oil, and salt without measure.
23 Gimoro amora ma Nyasach polo osechano, we otime gi chia ne hekalu mar Nyasach polo. En angʼo momiyo mirima dibed kuom pinyruoth gi yawuote?
All that belongeth to the rites of the God of heaven, let it be given diligently in the house of the God of heaven: lest his wrath should be enkindled against the realm of the king, and of his sons.
24 Bende nyaka ingʼe ni ionge gi teko mar chuno ji golo osuru, kata chiwo kata chudo ewi jadolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach, jatij hekalu moro amora kata jotich mamoko e odni mar Nyasaye.
We give you also to understand concerning all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinites, and ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose toll or tribute, or custom upon them.
25 To in, Ezra, kaluwore gi rieko matut mar Nyasachi, ma in godo, yier jongʼad bura matindo kod jongʼad bura madongo mondo ongʼad bura gadiera ne jo-Yufrate duto, ma gin joma ongʼeyo chike Nyasachi. Kendo nyaka ipuonj ngʼato angʼata mokia chikego.
And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely.
26 Ngʼato angʼata ma ok luor chik Nyasachi kod chik ruoth nyaka kume e yor tho, dare, pe gige, kata tere e od twech.
And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king diligently, judgment shall be executed upon him, either unto death, or unto banishment, or to the confiscation of goods, or at least to prison.
27 Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwerewa, moseketo e chuny ruoth mondo luor obed ne od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem e yo machalo kama
Blessed be the Lord the God of our fathers, who hath put this in the king’s heart, to glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem,
28 kendo moserieyo lwete maber mar ngʼwono ne an e nyim ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko kod jotend ruoth maroteke mondo omiya luor. Nikech lwet Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha neni kuoma, ne abedo gi chir mi achoko jotelo duto moa Israel mondo odhi koda.
And hath inclined his mercy toward me before the king and his counsellors, and all the mighty princes of the king: and I being strengthened by the hand of the Lord my God, which was upon me, gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
