Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, in the reign of Arthasastha king of the Persians, came up Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Chelcias,
He kah olka hnukah Persia manghai Artaxerxes kah ram ah Hilkiah koca Azariah kah a ca, Seraiah capa Ezra.
2 the son of Selum, the son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob,
Shallum capa Hilkiah, Zadok capa Shallum, Ahitub capa Zadok.
3 the son of Samarias, the son of Esria, the son of Mareoth,
Amariah capa Ahitub, Azariah capa, Meraioth capa Azariah.
4 the son of Zaraia, the son of Ozias, the son of Bokki,
Zerahiah capa Meraioth, Uzzi capa Zerahiah, Bukki capa Uzzi.
5 the son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the first priest.
Abishua capa Bukki, Phinekha capa Abishua, Eleazar capa Phinekha, khosoih boeilu Aaron capa Eleazar.
6 This Esdras went up out of Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel gave: and the king gave him [leave], for the hand of the Lord his God was upon him in all things which he sought.
Ezra he Babylon lamloh a mael vaengah Moses olkhueng dongkah a cadaek te amah loh a ming. Te te Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a paek. A Pathen BOEIPA kut loh anih soah a om dongah a kueknah boeih te manghai loh a taengah a paek.
7 And [some] of the children of Israel went up, and [some] of the priests, and of the Levites, and the singers, and the door-keepers, and the Nathinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Arthasastha the king.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek lamkah khaw, khosoih neh Levi lamkah khaw, laa sa neh thoh tawt khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw manghai Artaxerxes kah a kum rhih vaengah tah Jerusalem la cet uh.
8 And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this [was] the seventh year of the king.
Manghai kah kum rhih nah hla nga vaengah tah Jerusalem pawk.
9 For in the first [day] of the first month he began the going up from Babylon, and in the first day of the fifth month, they came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was upon him.
Hla khat dongkah lamhmacuek hnin vaengah Babylon lamkah tangtlaeng a tongnah lamloh hla nga dongkah lamhmacuek hnin ah tah Jerusalem ah pawk. A Pathen kah kut tah anih soah then tangloeng.
10 For Esdras had determined in his heart to seek the law, and to do and teach the ordinances and judgments in Israel.
Ezra he BOEIPA olkhueng thuep ham neh vai ham khaw, Israel khuiah oltlueh neh laitloeknah tukkil ham khaw a thinko cikngae.
11 And this [is] the copy of the order which Arthasastha gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe of the book of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his ordinances to Israel.
He kah capat catlaep he manghai Artaxerxes loh BOEIPA kah olpaek ol neh Israel ham a oltlueh dongkah cadaek saya, khosoih Ezra taengah a paek.
12 Arthasastha, king of kings, to Esdras, the scribe of the law of the Lord God of heaven, Let the order and the answer be accomplished.
Manghai boeih kah manghai Artaxerxes loh vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra tah a yoethen pai.
13 A decree is made by me, that every one who is willing in my kingdom of the people of Israel, and of the priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem, [be permitted] to go with thee.
Ka ram khui kah a puhlu boeih ham kai lamloh saithainah ka paek coeng. Israel pilnam neh a khosoih rhoek khaw, Levi khaw Jerusalem la caeh ham nang m'puei saeh.
14 [One] has been sent from the king and the seven councillors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem, according to the law of their God that is in thine hand.
He kong dongah Manghai neh anih kah olrhoep parhih taeng lamloh Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah na kut dongkah na Pathen oltlueh te thoelh hamla a pat coeng.
15 And for the house of the Lord [there have been sent] silver and gold, which the king and the councillors have freely given to the God of Israel, who dwells in Jerusalem.
Amah kolhmuen Jerusalem kah Israel Pathen taengah manghai neh a olrhoep rhoek loh a puhlu cak neh sui khaw khuen ham om.
16 And all the silver and gold, whatsoever thou shalt find in all the land of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and the priests that offer freely for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
Cak neh sui boeih te Babylon paeng pum ah na hmuh bitni. Jerusalem kah a Pathen im ham tah pilnam khaw a puhlu tih khosoih rhoek long khaw a puhlu.
17 And as for every one that arrives [there], speedily order him by this letter [to bring] calves, rams, lambs, and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings; and thou shalt offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
He kong ah tangka nen he vaito, tutal, tuca khaw, a khosaa neh a tuisi khaw tluem tluem lai. Te te Jerusalem ah na Pathen im kah hmueihtuk dongah nawn.
18 And whatever it shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do as it is pleasing to your God.
Namah taengkah neh na manuca taengkah boeih te tah cak khaw, sui khaw a coih nen te a then la saii lamtah na Pathen kah ngaihnah bangla saii uh.
19 And deliver the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of God, before God in Jerusalem.
Te hnopai te na Pathen im kah thothuengnah ham nang taengah kam paek. Te te Jerusalem kah Pathen taengah cum coeng.
20 And as to the rest of the need of the house of thy God, thou shalt give from the king's treasure-houses,
Na Pathen im kah a tloe a ngoe dongah thoh hamla nang soah aka tla te tah manghai cabu im lamkah te thoo mai.
21 and from me, whatever it shall seem [good] to thee to give. I king Arthasastha have made a decree for all the treasuries that are in the [country] beyond the river, that whatever Esdras the priest and scribe of the God of heaven may ask you, it shall be done speedily,
Manghai Artaxerxes kai kamah lamloh sok paem kah hnokhoem boeih taengah saithainah ka paek. A cungkuem dongah vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra nang n'dawt saeh lamtah tluem tluem saii.
22 to [the amount of] a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred measures of wheat, and a hundred baths of wine, and a hundred baths of oil, and salt without reckoning.
Cak talent yakhat hil, cangyen kore yakhat hil, misurtui bath yakhat hil, situi bath yakhat neh lungkaehtael toeklek toekna pawt hil tawn saeh.
23 Let whatever is in the decree of the God of heaven, be done: take heed lest any one make an attack on the house of the God of heaven, lest at any time there shall be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons.
Vaan Pathen kah saithainah lamkah boeih he vaan Pathen im dongah tluem tluem saii saeh. Balae tih kosi manghai kah ram neh a ca a bo thil eh.
24 Also this has been declared to you, with respect to all the priests, and Levites, the singers, porters, Nathinim and ministers of the house of God, let no tribute be [paid] to thee; thou shalt not have power to oppress them.
Te phoeiah khosoih boeih neh Levi khaw, laasa rhoek khaw, thoh tawt rhoek khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw, Pathen im kah tho aka thueng he khaw, mangmu neh hlang mangmu khaw, cawn khaw, amih soah coi ham saithainah om pawh tila namah taengah mingpha saeh.
25 And thou, Esdras, as the wisdom of God [is] in thy hand, appoint scribes and judges, that they may judge for all the people beyond the river, all that know the law of the Lord thy God; and ye shall make it known to him that knows not.
Ezra nang khaw na Pathen kah cueihnah rhangneh na kut dongkah aka taemrhai ham neh laitloekung la m'hmoel coeng. Te tlam te a om uh daengah ni sok paem kah pilnam cungkuem taengah neh na Pathen oltlueh aka ming boeih taengah khaw, na ming bangla aka ming pawt taengah khaw lai aka tloek rhoek loh lai a tloek thai eh.
26 And whosoever shall not do the law of God, and the law of the king readily, judgment shall be taken upon him, whether for death or for chastisement, or for a fine of his property, or casting into prison.
Na Pathen kah oltlueh neh manghai kah oltlueh aka vai pawt boeih te tah laitloeknah tluem tluem om saeh. Anih te dueknah nen khaw, haeknah nen khaw, a koe tuuknah nen khaw, pinnah nen khaw saii saeh.
27 Blessed [be] the Lord God of our fathers, who has put it thus into the heart of the king, to glorify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem;
Mamih napa rhoek kah Pathen Yahweh tah a yoethen pai saeh. Tahae kah bangla Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im te cam hamla manghai kah lungbuei ah a cuen sak.
28 and has given me favour in the eyes of the king, and of his councillors, and all the rulers of the king, the exalted ones. And I was strengthened according to the good hand of God upon me, and I gathered chief men of Israel to go up with me.
Kai ham khaw manghai neh a olrhoep mikhmuh ah, hlangrhalh manghai kah mangpa boeih taengah khaw sitlohnah a tueng sak. Ka sokah kah ka Pathen BOEIPA kut rhangneh kamah khaw ka moem uh. Te dongah kamah neh aka puei la Israel boeilu te ka coi.
