Ezra 1
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,
Na, i te tau tuatahi o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, he mea kia whakamana ai te kupu a Ihowa, i whakapuakina e Heremaia, ka whakaohokia e Ihowa te wairua o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, a tukua ana e tera tana karanga puta noa i tona kingitanga, i tuhituhi hok i e ia, i mea ia,
2 These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
Ko te kupu tenei a Hairuha kingi o Pahia, kua oti nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua te homai ki ahau e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga rangi; kua whakahaua mai hoki ahau e ia kia hanga he whare mona ki Hiruharama, ki tera i Hura.
3 Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
Ahakoa ko wai o koutou o tana iwi katoa, hei a ia tona Atua, a me haere ake ia ki Hiruharama, ki tera i Hura, ki te hanga i te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, ko ia nei te Atua, kei Hiruharama ano ia.
4 And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.
Na, ko te tangata ka mahue ki te wahi e noho ai ia, ma nga tangata o tona wahi ia e awhina ki te hiriwa, ki te koura, ki te taonga, ki te kararehe, hei tapiri mo nga mea hoatu noa mo te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama.
5 Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.
Katahi ka whakatika nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Hura, o Pineamine, me nga tohunga, me nga Riwaiti, me te hunga katoa i whakaohokia nei o ratou wairua e te Atua, ka mea ki te haere ki te hanga i te whare o Ihowa i Hiruharama.
6 And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.
Na, ko nga tangata katoa i o ratou taha, kei te whakakaha i o ratou ringa ki te oko hiriwa, ki te koura, ki te taonga, ki te kararehe, ki te mea utu nui, he mea tapiri ki nga mea homai noa katoa.
7 And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;
A i whakaputaina e Kingi Hairuha nga oko o te whare o Ihowa i kawea atu nei e ia ki roto ki te whare o ona atua;
8 Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
I whakaputaina enei e Hairuha kingi o Pahia, ara e Mitirerata kaitiaki taonga, taua atu ana e ia ki a Hehepatara rangatira o Hura.
9 And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives,
Ko te maha tenei o aua mea: e toru tekau peihana koura, kotahi mano peihana hiriwa, e rua tekau ma iwa maripi;
10 Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels.
E toru tekau nga haka koura, ko nga haka hiriwa, he ahua ke, e wha rau kotahi tekau; ko etahi oko ke, kotahi mano.
11 There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
Ko nga oko katoa, ke nga mea koura, ko nga mea hiriwa, e rima mano e wha rau. Ko enei katoa i kawea atu e Hehepatara i te kawenga o nga whakarau i Papurona ki Hiruharama.
