Ezra 6
1 Thus King Darius ordered a search of the archives stored in the treasury of Babylon.
Eka Ruoth Darius nochiwo chik, kendo neginono e kuonde kano gik machon e kar keno man Babulon.
2 And a scroll was found in the fortress of Ecbatana, in the province of Media, with the following written on it: Memorandum:
Karatas moban noyudi e kama oger motegno mar gengʼo wasigu mar Ekbatana e gwengʼ Media, kendo ma e gima nondik kuome: Chenro mar gima biro:
3 In the first year of King Cyrus, he issued a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: Let the house be rebuilt as a place for offering sacrifices, and let its foundations be firmly laid. It is to be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide,
E higa mokwongo mar loch mar Ruoth Sairas, ruoth nochiwo chik kuom hekalu mar Nyasaye man Jerusalem kama. We hekalu ger kendo kaka kar chiwo misango, kendo we mise mare keti. Nyaka obedi fut piero aboro gaboro gi nus e bor mare kendo fut piero aboro gaboro e lach mare,
4 with three layers of cut stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid from the royal treasury.
kod migawo adek mag kite mochwe kadhi malo gi migawo achiel mag bepe mochungi. Chudo margi mondo chul gi keno moa ka ruoth.
5 Furthermore, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and carried to Babylon, must also be returned to the temple in Jerusalem and deposited in the house of God.
Bende, gigo mag dhahabu gi fedha mag od Nyasaye, mane Nebukadneza okawo koa e hekalu mar Jerusalem mi okelo Babulon, nyaka duog kargi e hekalu man Jerusalem; nyaka duog-gi e kar keno e od Nyasaye.
6 Therefore Darius decreed: To Tattenai governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and your associates and officials in the region: You must stay away from that place!
Koro in, Tatenai, jatelo mar Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai kaachiel gi un, jotelo wetegi mar gwengʼno, suduru mabor gi kanyo.
7 Leave this work on the house of God alone. Let the governor and elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its original site.
Kik uketh tich hekaluni mar Nyasaye. We jatend jo-Yahudi kod jodong jo-Yahudi oger od Nyasaye e kare.
8 I hereby decree what you must do for these elders of the Jews who are rebuilding this house of God: The cost is to be paid in full to these men from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces west of the Euphrates, so that the work will not be hindered.
Kuom mano, achiwo chik mar gima onego itimne jodong jo-Yahudi e gedo mar odni mar Nyasaye: Gigo ma jogi otiyogo nyaka chul duto koa e keno mar ka ruoth, moa e pesa mochoki kuom Yufrate, mondo omi tich kik chungʼ.
9 Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, as well as wheat, salt, wine, and oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem—must be given to them daily without fail.
Gimoro amora midwaro kaka nyirwedhi, imbe, nyiimbe mar misango miwangʼo pep ne Nyasach polo, kod ngano, chumbi, divai gi mo, kaka okwa gi jodolo man Jerusalem nyaka migi pile ma ok olewo,
10 Then they will be able to offer sacrifices of a sweet aroma to the God of heaven and to pray for the lives of the king and his sons.
mondo omi gichiw misengini ma moro Nyasach polo kendo olam ne ruoth gi yawuote obed gi ngima maber.
11 I also decree that if any man interferes with this directive, a beam is to be torn from his house and raised up, and he is to be impaled on it. And his own house shall be made a pile of rubble for this offense.
Ewi mano, achiwo chik ni ka ngʼato oketho chikni, to nogol yiend tado mar ode mi gur piny kendo tweye e yien-no.
12 May God, who has caused His Name to dwell there, overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to alter this decree or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued the decree. Let it be carried out with diligence.
Mad Nyasaye, mosemiyo Nyinge olandore ka, lok ruoth moro amora kata joma tingʼo bedegi malo mondo olok chikni kata oketh hekaluni man Jerusalem. An, Darius asegolo chik, kendo chikni nyaka chopi ma ok orem.
13 In response, Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates diligently carried out what King Darius had decreed.
To kuom chik mane Ruoth Darius ooro, Tatenai, jatend Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai gi joma negitiyogo kanyakla notimo kamano kuom tangʼ mathoth.
14 So the Jewish elders built and prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They finished building according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia.
Omiyo jodong jo-Yahudi nodhi nyime gi gedo kendo odhi maber e bwo yalo mar Hagai janabi gi Zekaria, nyakwar Ido. Negitieko gero hekalu kaluwore gi chik mar Nyasach Israel kod chike Sairas, Darius gi Artaksases, ruodhi Pasia.
15 And this temple was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.
Hekalu notieki gero e odiechiengʼ mar adek mar dwe mar Adar, e higa mar auchiel mar loch Ruoth Darius.
16 Then the people of Israel—the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the exiles—celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy.
Eka jo-Israel, ma gin jodolo, jo-Lawi kod joma moko mane oa e twech notimo nyasi mar gwedho od Nyasaye gi ilo.
17 For the dedication of the house of God they offered a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and a sin offering for all Israel of twelve male goats, one for each tribe of Israel.
Kane gigwedho od Nyasaye negichiwo rwedhi mia achiel, imbe mia ariyo, nyithi rombe machwo mia angʼwen to kaka misango mar golo richo ne Israel, negichiwo diek apar gariyo machwo, moro ka moro ni dhout Israel.
18 They also appointed the priests by their divisions and the Levites by their groups to the service of God in Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.
Kendo negiketo jodolo kuondegi kod jo-Lawi e migepe mag-gi ne tich Nyasaye e Jerusalem, kaluwore gi gima ondikie Kitap Musa.
19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles kept the Passover.
E odiechiengʼ mar apar gangʼwen mar dwe mokwongo, joma notwe notimo nyasi mar Pasaka.
20 All the priests and Levites had purified themselves and were ceremonially clean. And the Levites slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their priestly brothers, and for themselves.
Jodolo gi jo-Lawi nosepwodhore giwegi kendo giduto negiikore mapoth ne nyasi. Jo-Lawi noyangʼo nyarombo mar Pasaka ne joma noa e twech duto, ne owetegi ma jodolo kod gin giwegi.
21 The Israelites who had returned from exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves from the uncleanness of the peoples of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel.
Omiyo jo-Israel mane oa e twech nochamo Pasakano, kanyakla gi jogo duto mano ngʼanyone timbe mochido mag ogendini mamoko modak machiegni kodgi mondo omi gidwar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
22 For seven days they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread with joy, because the LORD had made them joyful and turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them to strengthen their hands in the work on the house of the God of Israel.
Kuom ndalo abiriyo, negitimo Nyasi mar Makati ma ok oketie thowi gi ilo, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nosepongʼogi gi ilo kuom loko pach ruodh Asuria, mondo omi nokonygi e tich manie od Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
