Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
Hijeh chun Darius lengpan jong thu apen, Babylon gamsunga lengte thusim kisutlutna a chun akholsah tan ahi.
2 A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
Hiti chun ahin khol’un ahileh Media gamkol sunga Ecbatana khopia chun lekhajol khat hi amudoh taovin, hichea chun hitihin akijih in ahi:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
“Cyrus lengpa vaihom kumkhat channa in lengpan thu anapen Jerusalem’a houin chu kilhaina gantha kibol naleh pumgo thilto kitonaji houin chu kithah sahkit hen, a-in sandol chu tong somgup hihenlang availam jong tong somgup ma hihen.
4 with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
Songtum lentah tah gol thum'in kigol henlantg chuleh thingtum jong golkhat in kigol hen, huting leh hiche songho hileh in-thil ho hijongleh, hiche nakitohna a lut ho jouse chu lengte sumkhol na a kona kimang chading ahi.
5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, 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, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
Chuleh Jerusalem khopia Pathen houin muntheng phunga konna sana le dangka khonle lheng Nebuchadnezzer in anapoh manga Babylona anakoi hochu nungpoh lut cheh kitding ana kikoina mun mama a chu koikit ding ahi. Hicheho jouse chu Pathen houin ah kinung pohlut kitding ahi.” Akitin ahi.
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
Hijeh chun Darius lengpan hiti hin thu ale thot tan ahi: “Tun hitiding ahi, Euphtates vadung lhumlam gamkaija gamvaipo Tattenai leh Shethar-Bozenai, chuleh Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaiya vaipo holah natoh khompi, nangho kikang seuvin!
7 Leave 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.
Pathen in asah naova chun suboi hih beh un. Hiche houin chu ana kisah patna mun mama a chu asahphat kitdiu ahi. Judah gam vaipopa ahin natoh vaihom Judah upa ho ahin sutang hih beh un.
8 Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
Hiche chungchon chun hiche pathen houin asah naova hin Judah upahohi kithopiuvin tia hiche thupeh hi kahin peh nahiuve. Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaisea kidongoh kai hochu hiche ain sahnao manna chu geisang louva napehdoh jengdiu hiche anatoh uhi nasuhboi lou heldiu ahi.
9 That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
Jerusalem’a thempu hon van pathenna akatdoh diuva bongchal nou hihen, kelchal hihen kelngoi chal hijongleh angaichat dungjui uva napeh jengdiu ahi. Chuleh niseh leh amahon angaichat dung jui uva suhlou chang hihen, chule lengpitwi hijongleh olive thao hijongleh angaichat channu chu napeh jengdiu ahi.
10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
Hiteng chuleh amahon van pathen in asan theidol kilhaina chu tohdoh untin chuleh lengpale achate damthei nale phattheina dinga ahin taopeh diu ahi.
11 I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Hiche kadan thupeh hi asuhkeh a aumleh ainsunga konin alhungpi kibotdoh intin, chutengleh hichea chun ama kikanbeh intin kivoding chuleh ainchu vutvai kisoding ahi.
12 May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
Hiche Jerusalem khopihi ama min loupina dinga hinlhangdoh Pathen chun hiche thupeh hi palkeh a chuleh hiche Houin hi susea aumleh hitobang leng ahilouleh hitobang nam-mi chu kisumang ding ahi. Darius keiman hiche daan hi kasem doh ahin hiche hi mijousen phatah in juisoh keihen,” tin thu ale thotkit tan ahi.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaija gamvaipopa leh Shethar-bozenai leh atoh khompi hon gangtah in Darius lengpa thupeh chu ajuipai jengun ahi.
14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Judah upa ho chun atoh uchu ajom jengjun themgao teni Haggai leh Iddo chapa Zechariah thuhil’a konin akiha tilkhou lheh jengin ahi. Houin chu Israel Pathen in athupeh dungjui leh Persia lengho Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerxes in daan anasem dung juiyin asachai taovin ahi.
15 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.
Pathen houin chu Darius lengpa vaihom kum gup channa in Adhar lha nihtum lhinni in achai taovin ahi.
16 The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Pathen houin chu Israel mipite, Thempute, Levite chuleh asoh channaova konna hung kile hotoh kipa thanopna sangtah pummin alopna asem uvin ahi.
17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Hiche Pathen houin katdohna a hin bongchal jakhat, kelngoichal jani chuleh kelngoi ail akithat in ahi. Chuleh Israel pumpi phung somleni chonsetna thoidamna dingin kelchal somleni anatoh doh un ahi.
18 They set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Hiche jouchun thempu hole Leviho chu jatchom chom’in ahom khen’un Mose lekhabua kijih bangin Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin’ah Pakai kin abollun ahi.
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Akhovei lha masapen nisom le nili nin sohchang hung kile hon kalchuh kut amangun ahi.
20 Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Hichun thempuho le Levite chu amahole amaho akithenso cheh taovin athengin aum tauvin ahi. Hichun amahon sohchang hungkile ho dingleh athempu chanpi hoding chule amaho a dingin kalchuh kut manna dingin kelngoi athatnun ahi.
21 The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, ate,
Hiche kalchuh kut chu sohchang hung kile kit Israel chate jousen ane uvin, chutengleh thilboh chengsea konna kikangsea Pakai kin bolna a hung kipelut honjong aneovin ahi.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.
Hiti chun Israel ten ni sagi sungin cholsolou changlhah kut kipah thanom tahin amangun ahi. Gamsung pumpia chun kipana le thanopna adimlha jengin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Assyria lengpa chu amaho khotona aneisah a hijeh achu Israel te Pathen houin sahphatna dinga jong hin Lengpan ana kithopin ahi.
