Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, kabayatan ti panagturay ni Ari Artaxerxes, dagiti kapuonan ni Ezra ket da Seraias, Azarias, Hilkias,
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Sallum, Zadok, Ahitub,
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Amarias, Azarias, Merayot,
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Zerahias, Uzzi, Bukki,
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
Abisua, Finees, Eleazar, kalpasanna ni Aaron a kangatoan a padi—
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.
Pimmanaw ni Ezra manipud Babilonia. Nalaing isuna nga eskriba iti linteg ni Moises nga inted ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Inted ti ari kenkuana ti aniaman a dinawatna agsipud ta adda kenkuana ti ima ni Yahweh.
7 Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Iti maikapito a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Artaxerxes, simmang-at met idiay Jerusalem dagiti sumagmamano a kaputotan ni Israel ken dagiti padi, dagiti Levita, dagiti kumakanta iti templo, dagiti mangbanbantay iti ruangan, ken dagiti nadutokan nga agserbi iti templo.
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Nakadanon isuna idiay Jerusalem iti maikalima a bulan iti isu met laeng a tawen.
9 For on 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 on him.
Pimmanaw isuna idiay Babilonia iti umuna nga aldaw iti umuna a bulan. Simmangpet isuna idiay Jerusalem idi umuna nga aldaw iti maikalima a bulan, agsipud ta adda kenkuana ti naimbag nga ima ti Dios.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
Impapuso ni Ezra a nang-adal, nangaramid, ken nangisuro dagiti annuroten ken dagiti naipaulog a linteg ni Yahweh.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:
Daytoy ti naipaulog a linteg nga inted ni Ari Artaxerxes kenni Ezra a padi ken eskriba dagiti bilin ken alagaden ni Yahweh para iti Israel:
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
“Manipud iti Ari dagiti ari a ni Artaxerxes, nga agpaay kenni Ezra a padi, nga eskriba ti linteg ti Dios ti langit:
13 I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
Ibilbilinko a siasinoman iti pagariak ti naggapu idiay Israel, agraman dagiti papadida ken dagiti Levita nga agtartarigagay a mapan idiay Jerusalem, ket mabalin a sumurot kenka.
14 Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
Siak, nga ari, ken dagiti pito a mammagbagak, ibaonkayo amin a mangsukimat ti maipapan iti Juda ken Jerusalem, a maiyannurot iti linteg ti Dios a naawatanyo,
15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
ket tapno maiyegyo ti pirak ken balitok nga indatonda iti Dios ti Israel idiay Jerusalem, ti pagtaenganna.
16 and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.
Itedyo amin a pirak ken balitok nga inted dagiti amin a taga-Babilonia agraman ti inted dagiti tattao ken dagiti padi para iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem.
17 Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
Isu a gumatangka kadagiti baka, kalakian ken urbon a karnero, trigo ken daton a mainom. Idatonyo dagitoy iti rabaw ti altar iti balay ti Diosyo idiay Jerusalem.
18 Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
Aramidem ken dagiti kakabsatmo a lallaki ti ammom a nasayaat para iti natidda a pirak ken balitok, tapno maay-ayo ti Diosyo.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Idatagmo dagiti alikamen a siwawaya a naited kenka iti sangoananna para iti panagserbi iti balay ti Diosyo idiay Jerusalem.
20 Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
Aniaman a masapul para iti balay ti Diosyo a kasapulam, alaem ti bayadna manipud iti pagiduldulinan ti gamengko.
21 I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
Siak ni Artaxerxes nga Ari, nangaramidak iti bilin kadagiti amin a tesorero iti ballasiw ti Karayan, nga aniaman a dawaten ni Ezra kadakayo ket nasken nga itedyo a naan-anay
22 up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
agingga iti sangagasut a talento a pirak, sangagasut a kasukat a trigo, sangagasut a bat nga arak, ken sangagasut a bat ti lana kasta met ti aglaplapusanan nga asin.
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Aniaman a bilin manipud ti Dios iti Langit, aramidenyo daytoy a naan-anay para iti balayna. Ta apay koma nga umay ti pungtotna iti pagariak ken kadagiti annakko a lallaki?
24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.
Ipakpakaammomi kadakuada a saankayo a mangsingsingir iti aniaman a buwis iti siasinoman kadagiti padi, kadagiti Levita, kadagiti kumakanta, kadagiti mangbanbantay iti ruangan, wenno kadagiti tattao a nadutokan nga agserbi iti templo ken kadagiti adipen iti daytoy balay ti Dios.
25 You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who does not know them.
Sika Ezra, babaen iti sirib nga inted kenka ti Dios, masapul a mangdutokka kadagiti ukom ken nasirib a tattao nga agserbi kadagiti amin a tattao iti ballasiw ti Karayan, ken agserbi iti siasinoman a makaammo ti linteg ti Diosmo. Masapul met a suroam dagiti saan a makaamo iti linteg.
26 Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Dusaem ti siasinoman a saan a naan-anay nga agtultulnog iti linteg ti Dios wenno iti linteg ti ari, uray babaen iti pannakapapatay, iti pannakaibelleng, iti pannakasamsam dagiti sanikuada, wenno pannakaibalud.”
27 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem;
Kinuna ni Ezra “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonantayo, a nangtignay iti puso ti ari tapno mangdayaw iti balay ni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem
28 and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
ken ti nangipaay ti kinapudnona iti tulagna kaniak iti sangoanan ti ari, dagiti mammagbagana, ken dagiti amin a mannakabalin nga opisialna. Napabilegak babaen iti ima ni Yahweh a Diosko, ket inummongko dagiti mangidadaulo manipud iti Israel tapno kumuyog kaniak.”
