Ezra 4

1 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the LORD, the God of Israel,

Hanki Judane Benzameni naga'mokizmi ha' vahe'mo'zama antahizama, kinafinti'ma atre'za e'naza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo mono noma ete eme negize nanekema nentahi'za,

2 they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families, saying, “Let us build with you because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the time of King Esar-haddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”

zamagra Zerubabelinte'ene Israeli naga nofite'ma ugagotama hu'naza vahete vu'za amanage hu'naze, Asiria kini ne' Esarhadoni'ma tavreno ama mopafima eme tantegetama mani'nonteti'ma eno meninte'ma eana, tamagrama nehazaza huta tamagri Anumzantera monora hunenteta, Kresramana vunentonanki, tatrenketa tamaza huta mono nona kimaneno.

3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the other heads of the families of Israel replied, “You have no part with us in building a house for our God, since we alone must build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as Cyrus king of Persia has commanded us.”

Hianagi Zerubabeli'ene Jeshua'ene Israeli naga nofite'ma ugota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'zanena amanage hu'za zamasami'naze, tagri Ra Anumzamofo mono nona taza huta onkigahaze. Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma hurante'nea kante amage anteta, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamofo mono nona tagrake'za kigahune.

4 Then the people of the land set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to build.

Hagi anagema hazage'za ana mopafima ko'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za, Juda vahera zamarimpa eri haviza hu naneke nehu'za, mono no onkisazegu zamazeri koro hu naneke agafa hu'za hu'naze.

5 They hired counselors against them to frustrate their plans throughout the reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Ana nehu'za Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma kinima manino egeno, Dariusi'ma agri noma erino kinima efore'ma hia knare'ma ege'za, Juda vahera antahintahi zami'za erizazmia eri savri hanazegu, Pesia kamani eri'za vahera masave hu kazigati zago zamiza zamavare'naze.

6 At the beginning of the reign of Xerxes, an accusation was lodged against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

Hagi Ahasuerusi'ma agafa huno kinima mania knafina, ha' vahe'zamimo'za Judama nemaniza vahe'ene Jerusalema nemaniza vahekura mago havige avonkre'za kini ne' Ahasuerusina ami'naze.

7 And in the days of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. It was written in Aramaic and then translated.

Hanki henka Pesia kini ne' Artserksisi'ma kinima mania knafina, Bislamu'ma Mitredati'ma Tabeli'ene, zamagranema magokama eri'zama eneriza naga'enenki hu'za, kini ne' Artserksisina mago avonkremi'naze. Ana avoma kre'nazana Aramu zamagerupi kre'nage'za, hamprima amiza vahe'mo'za, Pesia vahe'mokizmi zamagerupi rekrahe humi'naze.

8 Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote the letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows:

Hagi ana mopama ugagota huno kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Rehumu'ene avoma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsaikea Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'ma keagama huzmante avona amanage huke kre atrakeno Pesia kini ne' Artserksisintega vu'ne.

9 From Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates—the judges and officials over Tripolis, Persia, Erech and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa,

Nagra gavana kva ne' Rehumu'nane, avoma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsai'ene, kema refkohu vahe'ene mago'a kagri eri'za vahe'ma tagranema eri'zama eneriza vahe'ene, Ereki vahe'ma Babiloni mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene, Elamu vahe'ma Susa ran kumate'ma nemaniza vahe'ene,

10 and the rest of the peoples whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and elsewhere west of the Euphrates.

ko'ma hanavenentake kini ne' Asurbanipali'ma mago'a vahe'ma zamavareno Sameria ran kumapima eme zamantege'zama nemaniza vahe'ene, Yufretisi timofo kantu kazigama nemaniza vahe'mo'zane, ama avona kre atronkeno kagritega nevie.

11 (This is the text of the letter they sent to him.) To King Artaxerxes, From your servants, the men west of the Euphrates:

Hanki anama kremi'naza avona amanage hu'za kremi'naze, Kini ne' Artserksisiga kagri eri'zama eneruna vahe'ma Yufretisi timofo kantu kazigama nemanuna vahe'mota musenkea atrenegantone.

12 Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came from you to us have returned to Jerusalem. And they are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city, restoring its walls, and repairing its foundations.

Kinimoka amana nanekea antahio, Juda vahe'ma kagri kumatmimpima mani'nareti'ma atre'za aza vahe'mo'za ko'ma Jerusalemi kumapima mani'ne'za kema nontahi'za, havi zmavu'avazama hu'naza vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi ran kumapina nona eme ki'naze. Noma azeri oti'za tra'ama kivagama nere'za, ku'ma kegina hago huvagare'za nehaze.

13 Let it now be known to the king that if that city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, they will not pay tribute, duty, or toll, and the royal treasury will suffer.

E'ina hu'negu kinimoka amagea antahio, ama ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi ran kuma'ma keginama huvagaresu'za takisi zagoa onkamigahaze. Ana hanageno'a zagoma nentana nompina zagoa omnena zagogura atupa hugahane.

14 Now because we are in the service of the palace and it is not fitting for us to allow the king to be dishonored, we have sent to inform the king

Kagrama maka zampima tazama nehana zanku tagesa nentahita, vahe'mo'zama kagri'ma kagefenkamima atre'zankura tavenosigeta ana kazigati kinimoka amana nanekea negasamune.

15 that a search should be made of the record books of your fathers. In these books you will discover and verify that the city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, inciting sedition from ancient times. That is why this city was destroyed.

Kafahe'za ko'ma tro hu'naza zama krente'naza avontafepima kesanana, Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'mo'za kea ontahi vahe mani'neza, kini vahera ha renezmantazage'za, e'i ana zamavuzmava zanku kumazmia eme eri havizantfa hageno vahera omanitfa hu'naza kuma me'ne.

16 We advise the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, you will have no dominion west of the Euphrates.

E'ina hu'negu kinimoka ama'na nanekea negasamune, zamagrama Jerusalemi ran kuma'ma eriso'ema nehu'za, kuma keginama huvagama resnagenka, Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmina mago'ene kegava osugahane.

17 Then the king sent this reply: To Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of your associates living in Samaria and elsewhere in the region west of the Euphrates: Greetings.

Hanki kinimo'ma ana avoma keteno'a, amanage huno nona'a avona kre atre'ne. Kavana ne' Rehumugane avontafe'ma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsaigane Sameriama mani'ne'za eri'zama zamazama nehaza vahe'ene, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama nemaniza vahera musenke atreramantoe.

18 The letter you sent us has been translated and read in my presence.

Hanki tamagrama kre atre'naza avona nagri navure hamprite'za rekrahe hazage'na antahi'noe.

19 I issued a decree, and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has revolted against kings from ancient times, engaging in rebellion and sedition.

Anama hute'na eri'za vahe huge'za, korapa'ma fore'ma hu'nea zama krente'naza avontafepima hake'zama ke'nazana, ko'ma maniza enazaregatira kini vahe'mofo kema ontahino zamagorgama omani zamavu'zmava zamo'a meno e'nea vahe mani'naze. Hankino meninena tamagerfa huno havi vaheke ana kumapina avite'naze.

20 And mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem and exercised authority over the whole region west of the Euphrates; and tribute, duty, and toll were paid to them.

Hanki korapara hankave kini vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumara kegava nehu'za, Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmina maka kva huzmante'nage'za, ruzante ruzante takisi zagoa zami'naze.

21 Now, therefore, issue an order for these men to stop, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order.

E'ina hu'negu ana vahera hanavetita zamasaminke'za Jerusalemi rankuma'ma eri oti'zama negi'za zana atre'za amne mani'nesage'na, nagrake hu izo huge, i'o hu'na anazantera hugahue.

22 See that you do not neglect this matter. Why allow this threat to increase and the royal interests to suffer?

Hanki tamarga ame huta vutma ome ke hinke'za ana eri'zana e'ori atreho. Na'ankure tamagrama anama osnage'zama, zamagrama ome knare'ma hanageta tagra kegava huzmantegara osugahune.

23 When the text of the letter from King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their associates, they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and forcibly stopped them.

Hanki kini ne' Artserksisi'ma krema atre'nea avona eri'za vu'za, gavana ne' Rehumune, avontafe kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsainte'ene, magoka eri'zama eneriza vahete'ene ana avona ome hamprizami'naze. Anama hazage'za ha'zana eri'ne'za ame hu'za Jerusalemi vu'za Juda vahemota nona onkita atreho hu'za hanaveti'za ome huzmante'naze.

24 Thus the construction of the house of God in Jerusalem ceased, and it remained at a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Anante Juda vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma Jerusalema negiza eri'zana e'ori'za atrageno me'no eno, Pesia kini ne' Dariusi'ma kinima manino egeno nampa 2ma hia kafure ehanati'ne.
