Ezra 6
1 Thus King Darius ordered a search of the archives stored in the treasury of Babylon.
त्यसैले दारा राजाले बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा खोजतलाश गर्ने आज्ञा दिए ।
2 And a scroll was found in the fortress of Ecbatana, in the province of Media, with the following written on it: Memorandum:
मादी प्रान्तको एक्बातानको किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहरमा एउटा मुट्ठो भेट्टाइयो । त्यसको विवरण यस्तो थियोः
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,
“राजा कोरेसको पहिलो वर्षमा, कोरेसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको बारेमा एउटा आदेश जारी गर्नुभयो, 'बलिदानको स्थानको रूपमा एउटा भवन पुनर्निर्माण गरियोस्, यसका जगहरू बसालिऊन्, यसको उचाइ साठी हात र चौडाइ साठी हात होस्,
4 with three layers of cut stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid from the royal treasury.
चोकमा ठुला ढुङ्गाका छपनी तिन लहर र फल्याकका छपनी एक लहर होस्, अनि राजदरबाट यसको खर्च तिरियोस् ।
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.
अब नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट बेबिलोनमा ल्याएका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सुन र चाँदीका थोकहरू लिएर ल्याऊ र तिनलाई यरूशलेमकै मन्दिरमा फिर्ता पठाऊ । तिमीहरूले तिनलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राख्नुपर्छ ।'
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!
अब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिकप प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू अलग बसून् ।
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.
परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको काममा बाधा नदिनू । गभर्नर र यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले त्यस ठाउँमा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउनेछन् ।
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.
परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिर बनाउने यी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूका लागि तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू भनी म तिमीहरूलाई हुकुम दिंदैछुः तिनीहरूले आफ्नो काम रोक्न नपरोस् भनेर यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारिको राजकीय कोषबाट रुपियाँ-पैसा दिनू ।
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.
तिनीहरूलाई आवश्यक हरेक कुरो अर्थात् स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउन साँढेहरू, भेडाहरू वा थुमाहरू र यरूशलेमका पुजारीहरूको आज्ञामुताबिक अन्न, नून, दाखमद्य वा तेल दिनहुँ तिनीहरूलाई नबिर्सी दिनू ।
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.
यसै गर्नू ताकि तिनीहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति भेटी ल्याऊन् र म राजा अनि मेरा छोराहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरून् ।
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.
कसैले यस आदेशलाई उल्लङ्घन गर्यो भने त्यसको घरबाट एउटा खम्बा उखेलियोस् र त्यसलाई त्यही खम्बामा टाँगियोस् भनी म आज्ञा दिंदैछु ।यो कारणले त्यसपछि त्यसको घरलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रोमा परिणत गरियोस् ।
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.
त्यस ठाउँमा आफ्नो नाउँ राख्नुहुने परमेश्वरले यस आदेशलाई बद्लन खोज्ने वा यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरलाई नष्ट गर्न खोज्ने कुनै पनि राजा वा मानिसलाई पदच्यूत गरून् । म दाराले यो आदेश दिंदैछु । मेहनतसाथ यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गरियोस् ।”
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.
तब राजा दाराद्वारा पठाइएको यस आदेशको कारणले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरूले राजा दाराले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार हरेक कुरा गरे ।
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.
यसरी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले हाग्गै अगमवक्ता र इद्दोका छोरा जकरियाको सुझाव मानेर निर्माण गरे र उन्नति गरे । इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको आज्ञा र फारसका राजाहरू कोरेस, दारा र अर्तासास्तका आदेशअनुसार तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भवन बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
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.
राजा दाराको शासनकालको छैटौं वर्षको अदार महिनाको तेस्रो दिनमा मन्दिरको काम पुरा भयो ।
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.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू र निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले आनन्दसाथ परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको समर्पण-उत्सव मनाए ।
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.
परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको समर्पणको निम्ति तिनीहरूले एक सयवटा साँढे, एक सयवटा भेडा र चार सयवटा थुमा बलि चढाए । इस्राएलका एक-एक कुलको लागि सारा इस्राएलीको लागि पापबलिको रूपमा बाह्रवटा बोका पनि चढाइयो ।
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.
मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम तिनीहरूले पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको सेवाको लागि तिनीहरूका विभाजनअनुसार नियुक्त पनि गरे ।
19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles kept the Passover.
यसरी निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरूले पहिलो महिनाको चौधौं दिनमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
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.
पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, र आफूलगायत निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबैका लागि निस्तारको बलि चढाए ।
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.
निस्तारको मासु खाने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा निर्वासनबाट फर्केका र देशका मानिसहरूको अशुद्धताबाट आफूलाई अलग राखेका अनि इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गरेकाहरू थिए ।
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.
तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म हर्षका साथ अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमा आनन्द ल्याउनुभएको थियो, र इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको मन्दिर अर्थात् उहाँको घरको काममा तिनीहरूका हात बलियो पार्न अश्शूरका राजाको ह्रदय फर्काइदिनुभएको थियो ।
