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,
Yac puspis toko, ke Artaxerxes el tuh tokosra fulat lun acn Persia, oasr mwet se pangpang Ezra. El lohlla mwet matu lal folok nwe kacl Aaron, Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge: Ezra el wen natul Seraiah, su wen natul Azariah, su wen natul Hilkiah,
2 the son of Selum, the son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob,
su wen natul Shallum, su wen natul Zadok, su wen natul Ahitub,
3 the son of Samarias, the son of Esria, the son of Mareoth,
su wen natul Amariah, su wen natul Azariah, su wen natul Meraioth,
4 the son of Zaraia, the son of Ozias, the son of Bokki,
su wen natul Zerahiah, su wen natul Uzzi, su wen natul Bukki,
5 the son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the first priest.
su wen natul Abishua, su wen natul Phinehas, su wen natul Eleazar, su wen natul Aaron.
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 el tuh sie mwet lutlut su arulana yohk etu lal ke Ma Sap su LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh sang nu sel Moses. Ke sripen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Ezra, ouinge tokosra fulat el sang nu sel ma nukewa el siyuk kac. Ezra el som liki acn Babylonia
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.
in yac se akitkosr tukun Artaxerxes el mutawauk in leum fin acn we, na el som nu Jerusalem wi kutu sin mwet Israel ac kutu mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet on, mwet topang su forfor taran mutunpot, ac mwet orekma lun Tempul.
8 And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this [was] the seventh year of the king.
Elos utyak nu Jerusalem ke malem se meet in yac se akitkosr lun tokosra fulat sac.
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.
Elos mukuiyak liki acn Babylon ke len se meet in malem se meet, na ke kasreyuk lun God elos sun acn Jerusalem ke len se meet in malem se aklimekosr.
10 For Esdras had determined in his heart to seek the law, and to do and teach the ordinances and judgments in Israel.
Ezra el sang insial in lutlut ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD ac in moulkin, oayapa el luti ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa kac nu sin mwet Israel.
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.
Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes el sang leta se inge nu sel Ezra, su sie mwet tol ac mwet lutlut su arulana yohk etu lal ke ma sap ac oakwuk ku su LEUM GOD El tuh sang nu sin Israel:
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.
“Ma sel Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes, nu sel Ezra, mwet tol ac mwet lutlut yohk ke Ma Sap lun God lun Kusrao.
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.
“Nga sapkin nu yen nukewa in tokosrai luk tuh kutena mwet Israel, ku mwet tol ac mwet Levi, su lungse wi kom som nu Jerusalem, elos ku in som.
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.
Nga ac mwet pwapa itkosr luk, kut supwekom in som liye ouiyen acn Jerusalem ac Judah, in liye lah fuka akosyen Ma Sap lun God lom, su El asot nu sum in karingin.
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.
Kom in us mwe sang orek ke gold ac silver su nga ac mwet pwapa luk lungse in sang nu sin God lun Israel, su Tempul la oan in Jerusalem.
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.
Kom fah oayapa us silver ac gold nukewa su kom orani in acn nukewa lun Babylon, ac mwe sang pac su mwet Israel ac mwet tol lalos elos sang nu ke Tempul lun God lalos in Jerusalem.
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.
“Kom fah oaru in orekmakin mani inge in moli cow mukul, sheep mukul, sheep fusr, wheat, ac wain, na kom fah kisakin ma inge fin loang lun Tempul in Jerusalem.
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.
Kom ku in orekmakin silver ac gold ma lula nu ke kutena ma su kom ac mwet lom fah sulela, fal nu ke lungse lun God lom.
19 And deliver the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of God, before God in Jerusalem.
Kom fah sang nu sin God in acn Jerusalem ahlu nukewa ma itukot nu sum in orekmakinyuk in Tempul ke pacl in alu.
20 And as to the rest of the need of the house of thy God, thou shalt give from the king's treasure-houses,
Ac fin oasr kutena ma saya su kom enenu pac nu ke Tempul, kom fah eis liki iwen filma lun tokosra.
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,
“Nga sapkin nu sin mwet nukewa su karingin mwe kasrup in acn Roto-in-Euphrates, tuh kowos in aksaye sang nu sel Ezra, su mwet tol ac mwet lutlut ke Ma Sap lun God lun Kusrao, ma nukewa el siyuk kac.
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.
Aok, in tia alukela paun itkosr tausin lumfoko ke silver, bushel lumfoko ke wheat, gallon lumfoko lumngaul ke wain, gallon lumfoko lumngaul ke oil in olive, ac lupan sohl ma el ac enenu.
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.
Kowos enenu in arulana oaru in sang ma nukewa su God lun Kusrao El enenu nu ke Tempul lal. Ouinge kowos fah oru tuh El fah tiana kasrkusrak sik ku selos su ac fah leum tukuk.
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.
Nga sapkin tuh in wangin sie suwos eisani tax sin mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet on, mwet topang ke mutunpot, mwet orekma, ku kutena mwet saya su kupasr nu ke Tempul se inge.
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.
“Kom, Ezra, ke lalmwetmet su God lom El asot nu sum, kom in sulela mwet kol ac mwet nununku in liyaung mwet nukewa Roto-in-Euphrates su moul ye Ma Sap lun God lom. Kom in luti Ma Sap inge nu sin kutena mwet su tia etu.
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.
Kutena mwet fin seakos ma sap lun God lom, ku ma sap lun tokosrai luk, eneneyuk tuh in sa na kalyeiyuk elos ouinge: ke misa, ku nu ke sruoh, ku ke eisla ma lalos, ku ke kauli in presin.”
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;
Ezra el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lasr! El oru tuh tokosra fulat elan insewowo in akfulatye Tempul lun LEUM GOD in Jerusalem in ouiya se inge.
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.
Ke lungkulang lun God, nga ku in eis kulang sin tokosra fulat, oayapa sin mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet nukewa lal su fulat ac ku. LEUM GOD luk El akpulaikyeyu, pwanang nga tuh ku in aknunakye sifen sou puspis lun Israel in wiyu folok.”
