< Ezra 3 >

1 By the seventh month, the Israelites had settled in their towns, and the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem.
Daytoy ti maikapito a bulan kalpasan ti panagsubli dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti siudadda, idi naguummongda a kas maysa a tao idiay Jerusalem.
2 Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow priests, along with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates, began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.
Nagsagana ni Jesua a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ken dagiti kakabsatna a papadi, ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken dagiti kakabsatna a lalaki ket binangonda ti altar ti Dios ti Israel tapno maidatagda dagiti daton a mapuoran kas naibilin iti linteg ni Moises a tao ti Dios.
3 They set up the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD—both the morning and evening burnt offerings—even though they feared the people of the land.
Kalpasanna, impasdekda ti altar iti rabaw ti pakaisaadanna, nga adda panagbuteng kadakuada gapu kadagiti tattao iti dayta a lugar. Nangidatonda kenni Yahweh kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti parbangon ken iti rabii.
4 They also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles in accordance with what is written, and they offered burnt offerings daily based on the number prescribed for each day.
Rinambakanda pay ti Fiesta dagiti Abong-abong a kas iti naisurat, ken nangidatonda iti daton a mapuoran iti inaldaw-aldaw a maiyannurot iti naipaulog a bilin, ti naituding a pagrebbengan iti tunggal aldaw.
5 After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as all the freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
Kasta met nga adda dagiti daton a mapuoran a maidaton iti inaldaw ken binulan, ken dagiti sagsagut para kadagiti amin a naituding a fiesta ni Yahweh, agraman dagiti amin a sagut a nagtaud iti bukod a nakem.
6 On the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.
Nangrugida a nagidaton kenni Yahweh kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti umuna nga aldaw ti maikapito a bulan, uray no saanpay a naibangon ti templo.
7 They gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food and drink and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as authorized by Cyrus king of Persia.
Isu a nangtedda iti pirak kadagiti kantero ken kadagiti karpintero; taraon, mainom, ken lana kadagiti tattao ti Sidon ken Tiro tapno mangipatulodda kadagiti kayo ti sedro manipud Lebanon a maipan iti Joppe babaen iti baybay, kas iti impalubos kadakuada ni Cyrus nga ari ti Persia.
8 In the second month of the second year after they had arrived at the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their associates including the priests, the Levites, and all who had returned to Jerusalem from the captivity, began the work. They appointed Levites twenty years of age or older to supervise the construction of the house of the LORD.
Ket iti maikadua a bulan ti maikadua a tawen kalpasan ti isasangpetda iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, da Zerubbabel, Jesua nga anak ni Josadac, dagiti dadduma a papadi, dagiti Levita, ken dagiti nagsubli idiay Jerusalem manipud iti pannakaibalud ti nangirugi ti trabaho. Dinutokanda dagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato a mangimaton iti panagtrabaho iti balay ni Yahweh.
9 So Jeshua and his sons and brothers, Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Yehudah), and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together to supervise those working on the house of God.
Insaad ni Jesua dagiti annak ken kakabsatna a lallaki, ni Kadmiel ken dagiti annakna a lallaki, ken dagiti kaputotan ni Juda tapno mangimaton kadagiti tattao a mangar-aramid ti trabaho iti balay ti Dios. Kaduada dagiti kaputotan ni Henadad, kasta met dagiti padada a Levita.
10 When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their positions to praise the LORD, as David king of Israel had prescribed.
Insaad dagiti mangibangbangon ti pundasion para iti templo ni Yahweh. Daytoy ti gapuna a nagtakder dagiti papadi a sikakawes kadagiti pagan-anayda nga addaan kadagiti trumpeta, ken dagiti Levita, nga annak a lallaki ni Asaf, tapno idaydayawda ni Yahweh babaen kadagiti piangpiang a kas iti imbilin ti ima ni David nga ari ti Israel.
11 And they sang responsively with praise and thanksgiving to the LORD: “For He is good; for His loving devotion to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
Nagkantada nga addaan iti panangdayaw ken panagyaman kenni Yahweh, “Naimbag isuna! Agnanayon ti kinapudnona iti tulagna iti Israel.” Nagriaw amin dagiti tattao nga uray da la impukkaw ti panagrag-oda iti panagdaydayaw kenni Yahweh gapu ta naisaaden ti pundasion ti templo.
12 But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads who had seen the first temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple. Still, many others shouted joyfully.
Ngem adu kadagiti papadi, kadagiti Levita, kadagiti panguloen dagiti pamilia ken kadagiti lallakay a nakakita idi iti immuna a balay, ti nagsangit iti napigsa idi nakitada a naisaaden ti pundasion daytoy a balay. Ngem adu dagiti nagpukkaw gapu iti rag-o ken ragsak ken dir-i.
13 The people could not distinguish the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people were making so much noise. And the sound was heard from afar.
Kas nagbanaganna, saan a mailasin dagiti tattao ti riaw ti rag-o ken ragsak manipud iti panagsasangit dagiti tattao, gapu ta agsangsangit dagiti tattao iti kasta unay a kinarag-o, ken mangngeg ti riawda manipud iti adayo.
