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.
Aa le namantoke t’i Dariavese vaho nihotsohotsoeñe i anjombam-pañajan-taratasiy, am-panontonam-bara e Bavele ao.
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:
Le nitendrek’ amy anjomba e Akmetà ao, amy faritane’ o nte-Madaioy ty boke-peleke, le sinokitse ama’e ao ty hoe: Ty talily:
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;
Amy taom-baloha’ i Korese, mpanjakay, le nanao tsey t’i Korese mpanjaka: I anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey, te hamboareñe i anjombay, i fañengà’ iareo soroñey naho añoreñañe fatratse o mananta’eo; ty haabo’e, kiho enempolo naho ty ampohe’e, kiho enempolo;
4 with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
naho firiritam-bato jabajaba, telo naho fidadañam-bodan-katae vao, le ho tolorañe boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty drala’e;
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.
le ampolieñe ka o fanake volamena naho volafotin’ anjomban’ Añahare nakare’ i Nebokadnetsare boak’ añ’ anjomba’e e Ierosalaime ao naho nendese’e mb’e Bavele mb’eoo; hahereñe, songa an-toe’e añ’ anjomba e Ierosalaime vaho hapok’ amy anjomban’ Añaharey.
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.
Ie amy zao, ry Tatenay mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay naho i Setar-botsenay naho o mpiama’ areo nte Afaresake alafe’ i Sakaio, ihalaviro;
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.
apoho hanoeñe i fitoloñañe amy anjomban’ Añahareiy; le angao handranjy i anjomban’ Añaharey an-toe’e eo ty mpifehe o nte-Iehodao naho o mpiaolo’ Iehodao.
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.
Mbore tseizeko ty hanoa’ areo amo mpiaolo’ o nte-Iehoda mpamboatse i anjomban’ Añahareioo; te hatolotse am-pahimbañañe boak’ amo varam-panjaka amy haba alafe’ i Sakaio am’ indaty rey ze drala paiae’e, vaho tsy ho sebañeñe.
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,
Le ze paia’ iareo, amo baniao naho o añondrilahio naho o vik’ añondrio, hisoroñañe amy Andrianañaharen-dikerañey; vare-bolè, sira, divay naho menake. Le ze saontsi’ o mpisoroñe e Ierosalaimeo ty amahana’o aze boak’ andro boak’ andro vaho tsy hilesa;
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.
hañengàñe soroñe marifondrifoñe amy Andrianañaharen-dindiñey naho ihalaliañe ty havelo’ i mpanjakay naho o anadahi’eo.
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.
Tovoñako ty hoe te ze mañova o entañe zao ro hañakarañe boda amy anjomba’ey, le honjoñen-dre hapitek’ ama’e; vaho hanoeñe votrim-porompotse i traño’ey;
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.
vaho ehe te harotsan’ Añahare nampimoneñe ty tahina’e ao ze mpanjaka ndra ondaty te hañity fitàñe hañova izay, hampianto i anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey. Izaho Dariavese ty mitsey: ee t’ie ho henefañe masìka.
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.
Aa le nihavatse nitoloñe t’i Tatenay, mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay naho i Setar-botsenay naho o mpiama’eo ty amy nampihitrife’ i Dariavese mpanjakay.
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.
Le nandranjy naho niraorao o mpiaolo-nte-Iehodao ty amy fitokia’ i Kagaý mpitoky naho i Zekarià ana’ Idòy. Ie namboatse iereo ro nahafonitse i nandilian’ Añahare’ Israeley naho nitseize’ i Korese naho i Dariavese naho i Artaksastà mpanjaka’ i Parase rey.
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.
Le nifonitse amy andro fahatelo’ i volan-Kiahiaiy i anjombay, an-taom-paha-ene’ i Dariavese, mpanjakay.
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.
Le nitana’ o ana’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio vaho ty ila’ o anam-pandrohizañeo am-pirebehañe ty fañorizañe i anjomban’ Añaharey,
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.
ie nañenga añombelahy zato naho añondri-lahy roanjato naho vik’ añondry efa-jato amy fañorizañe i anjomban’ Añahareiy; le oselahy folo-ro’ amby ho engan-kakeo’ Israele iaby, ty ami’ty ia’ i fifokoa’ Israele rey.
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.
Le nalahatse am-pirimboñañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, songa am-piosoña’e hitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare e Ierosalaime ao; ty amy sinokitse amy boke’ i Moseiy.
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Le nitana’ o anam-pandrohizañeo amy andro faha-folo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy i Fihelañ’ Amboney.
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.
Le nitrao-pañeferañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio; songa nalio; le linenta’ iareo i fihelañ’ amboney ho amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio naho o mpisoroñe roahalahi’ iareoo naho o vata’ iareoo.
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,
Le songa nikama o ana’ Israele nimpoly boak’ am-pandrohizañeo naho o nivìke ho am’ iereo boak’ ami’ty haleora’ o kilakila’ ondati’ i taneio, hipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele,
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.
naho nitana’ iareo an-kaehake fito andro i sabadida-mofo-tsi-aman-dalivaiy; amy te nampinembanembañ’ iareo t’Iehovà vaho nampitolihe’e am’ iereo ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey; nampaozatse ty fità’ iareo amy fitoloñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare, Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
