Ezra 5
1 Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.
Kalpasanna, nagipadto babaen iti nagan ti Dios ti Israel da Haggeo a profeta ken Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Iddo a profeta kadagiti Judio idiay Juda ken Jerusalem.
2 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
Nagsagana ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken ni Jesua a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ket rinugianda a bangonen ti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, a kaduada dagiti profeta a nangpabileg kadakuada.
3 At the same time, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their men, came to them and said, Who gave you orders to go on building this house and this wall?
Kalpasanna, immay ni Tatnai a gobernador ti Probinsia iti Ballasiw ti Karayan, ni Setar Bozenai ken dagiti kakaduada, ket kinunada kadakuada, “Siasino ti nangibilin kadakayo a bangonen daytoy a balay ken leppasen dagitoy a pader?”
4 Then they said these words to them: What are the names of the men who are at work on this building?
Kinunada pay, “Ania ti nagnagan dagiti lallaki a mangibangbangon iti daytoy a balay?”
5 But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.
Ngem ti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti panglakayen a Judio, ket saan ida a napasardeng dagiti kabusorda. Ur-urayenda ti maipatulod a surat iti ari ken tapno maipasubli ti maysa a bilin maipapan iti daytoy.
6 This is a copy of the letter which Tattenai, the ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and his friends the Apharsachites, living across the river, sent to Darius the king:
Daytoy ti surat da Tatnai, Setar Bozenai, ken dagiti kakaduada nga opisiales para kenni Dario nga ari.
7 They sent him a letter saying, To Darius the king, all peace:
Nangipatulodda iti pakaammo, kastoy ti insuratda para kenni Ari Dario. “Kapia koma ti adda kenka.
8 This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.
Maipakaammo iti ari a napan kami idiay Juda, iti balay ti naindaklan a Dios. Madama a maibangbangon daytoy babaen kadagiti dadakkel a batbato ken nakabilan iti kaykayo dagiti pader. Naan-anay ti pannakaaramid daytoy ket adu ti malmalpas dagiti imada.
9 Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?
Dinamagmi kadagiti panglakayenda, 'Siasino ti nangibilin kadakayo a bangonen daytoy a balay ken dagitoy a pader?'
10 And we made request for their names, so that we might send you word, and give you the names of the men at the head of them.
Dinamagmi pay dagiti nagnaganda tapno maamoam no ania ti nagan ti tunggal maysa a nangidaulo kadakuada.
11 And they made answer to us, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house which was put up in times long past and was designed and made complete by a great king of Israel.
Simmungbatda ket kinunada, 'Adipennakami ti Dios ti langit ken daga, ket bangbangonenmi manen daytoy a balay a siguden a naibangon, adun a tawen ti naglabas idi imbangon ken inleppas daytoy ti natan-ok nga ari ti Israel.
12 But when the God of heaven was moved to wrath by our fathers, he gave them up into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the Chaldaean, who sent destruction on this house and took the people away into Babylon.
Ngem idi pinagpungtot dagiti kapuonanmi ti Dios ti langit, inyawat ida ti Dios iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia a nangdadael iti daytoy a balay ken nangitalaw kadagiti tattao a kas balud nga impanna idiay Babilonia.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus, king of Babylon, Cyrus the king gave an order for the building of this house of God;
Nupay kasta, iti umuna a tawen a panagturay ni Cyrus a kas ari ti Babilonia, nangipaulog ni Cyrus iti maysa a bilin tapno maibangon manen ti balay ti Dios.
14 And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple which was in Jerusalem, and put into the house of his god in Babylon, these Cyrus the king took from the house of his god in Babylon, and gave to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made ruler;
Insubli pay ni Ari Cyrus dagiti balitok ken pirak nga alikamen iti balay ti Dios nga innala ni Ari Nebucadnesar manipud idiay templo ti Jerusalem nga impanna iti templo idiay Babilonia. Insublina dagitoy kenni Sesbasar a pinagbalinna a gobernador.
15 And he said to him, Go, take these vessels, and put them in the Temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be put up again in its place.
Kinunana kenkuana, “Alaem dagitoy nga alikamen. Ikabilmo dagitoy iti templo idiay Jerusalem. Bay-am a maibangon manen ti balay ti Dios sadiay.
16 Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.
Kalpasanna, immay daytoy a Sesbasar ket insaadna ti pundasion para iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem; ket madama a maipatpatakder daytoy ngem saanpay a naileppas.'
17 So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.
Ita, no nasayaat para iti ari, masukimat koma daytoy iti balay a nakaidulinan dagiti libro idiay Babilonia no adda sadiay ti bilin a nagtaud kenni Ari Cyrus a maibangon manen daytoy a balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem. Kalpasanna, mabalin nga ipatulod ti ari ti pangngeddengna kadakami.
