< Ezra 3 >

1 And the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel [were] in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at Jerusalem.
Thapa yung sari touh akuep toteh, Isarelnaw teh khopui vah ao awh teh, tamihupui teh, tami buet touh e patetlah Jerusalem vah a kamkhueng awh.
2 Then stood up Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses the man of God.
Hahoi, Zadok capa Jeshua hoi a hmaunawngha vaihmanaw hoi Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi a hmaunawnghanaw a thaw awh teh, Cathut e tami Mosi e kâlawk dawk thut e patetlah hmaisawi thuengnae hah Isarelnaw e Cathut thuengnae khoungroe hah a sak awh.
3 And they set up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole burnt offerings was offered up upon it to the Lord morning and evening.
A tengpam kaawm e taminaw ni a taki awh nakunghai, khoungroe teh amae hmuen koe a ta teh, amom tangmin hmaisawi thuengnae hah, ahnimouh roi ni BAWIPA koevah hmaisawi thuengnae a sak roi.
4 And they kept the feast of tabernacles, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole burnt offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.
Lukkarei pawi hai a sak awh, thut tangcoung e patetlah hnintangkuem sak hanelah, a pouk awh e hoi a langri a sak awh e patetlah hmaisawi thuengnae hah a thueng awh.
5 And after this the perpetual whole burnt offering, and [offering] for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free will offering to the Lord.
Hathnukkhu hnintangkuem poe a sak a e hmaisawi thuengnae hoi thaparei katha hanelah a poenae hoi, BAWIPA hanelah a pouk e pawinaw pueng hoi ama lungthocalah lahoi, BAWIPA koe ouk thueng e hah a thueng awh.
6 On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not laid.
BAWIPA e bawkim adu ung hoeh rah eiteh, thapa yung sari apasuek hnin hoi kamtawng teh, hmaisawi thuengnae hah, BAWIPA koe thuengnae a kamtawng awh.
7 And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.
Talungdêikathoumnaw hoi imsakkathoumnaw hai tangka a poe awh teh, Persia siangpahrang Sairus ni a hnâbo e patetlah sidar thing teh Lebanon talî koehoi, Joppa totouh thokhai hanelah Sidonnaw hoi Tairenaw hah ca hane rawcarawnei ca hane hoi satuinaw a poe awh.
8 And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in the house of the Lord.
Jerusalem Cathut e im a pha awh nae, kum 2, thapa yung 2 nah Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi Jozadak capa Jeshua hoi a hmaunawngha vaihmanaw, Levih miphunnaw hoi san dawk hoi thaw tawk hanelah a kamtawng awh teh, Levih miphun kum 20 touh a lathueng lae naw teh, BAWIPA im saknae koe kahrawikung lah a pouk awh.
9 And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, their sons and their brethren the Levites.
Hahoi, Jeshua hoi a capa, a hmaunawnghanaw, Kadmiel hoi a capanaw hoi, Judah capanaw, a thaw awh teh Cathut e im kasaknaw hah hmuen touh koe a khetyawt awh. Henadad capanaw a capanaw hoi a hmaunawngha Levihnaw hoi.
10 And they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the order of David king of Israel.
BAWIPA e bawkim kasaknaw ni adu a ung awh toteh, vaihmanaw ni khohnanaw a kho awh teh, mongka patuep laihoi Levih tami Asaph capanaw hah Isarel siangpahrang Devit ni a dei e patetlah, BAWIPA pholen hanelah a kangdue awh.
11 And they answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for his mercy to Israel [endures] for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.
Ama teh ahawi, Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae teh Isarelnaw e lathueng a yungyoe a cak, telah BAWIPA pholen awh teh lunghawi lawk dei laihoi la a sak awh. Hottelah BAWIPA pholen a toteh tamihupui abuemlah ni pueng hoi a hram awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e im adu ung awh dawk doeh.
12 But many of the priests and the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and [who saw] this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.
Hateiteh, vaihma, Levihnaw hoi imthung kahrawikung tangawn, ahmaloe e im kahmawt e matawngnaw ni teh a hnukkhu e im adu ung e a hmu navah pueng hoi a khuika awh. Hatei tami tangawn teh a lunghawi dawk hoi a hram awh.
13 And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.
Hat toteh, taminaw ni lunghawi hramnae lawk hoi khuika hramnae lawknaw hah kapek thai awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamihupui teh poung hoi a hram awh dawkvah, kahlatpoung koehoi a ka thai.
