Ezra 5
1 And Aggaeus the prophet, and Zacharias the [son] of Addo, prophesied a prophesy to the Jews in Juda and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, [even] to them.
Koro Hagai janabi kod Zekaria janabi, nyakwar Ido, nokorone jo-Yahudi e Juda gi Jerusalem e nying Nyasach Israel, mane nitiere kuomgi.
2 Then rose up Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of God that was in Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets of God assisting them.
Eka Zerubabel wuod Shealtiel kod Jeshua wuod Jozadak nowuok mondo oti tij gedo mar od Nyasaye e Jerusalem. Kendo jonabi mag Nyasaye ne ni kodgi, kakonyogi.
3 At the same time came there upon them Thanthanai, the governor on this side the river, and Satharbuzanai, and their fellow-servants, and spoke thus to them, Who has ordained a decree for you to build this house, and to [provide] this preparation?
E kindeno Tatenai, ruodh Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai gi joma gitiyogo kanyakla nodhi irgi kendo openjo niya, “En ngʼa mane omiyou thuolo mar gero hekaluni kendo loso iye?”
4 Then they spoke thus to them, What are the names of the men that build this city?
Gin bende negipenjo niya, “Joma gero odni nying-gi ngʼa?”
5 But the eyes of God were upon the captivity of Juda, and they did not cause them to cease till the decree was brought to Darius; and then was sent by the tribute-gatherer concerning this
To Nyasaye ne ni kod jodong jo-Yahudi, omiyo ne ok ochung-gi mondo giwe tich ka pod irito dwoko ma ruoth Darius ondiko gi lwete.
6 the copy of a letter, which Thanthanai, the governor of the part on this side the river, and Satharbuzanai, and their fellow-servants the Apharsachaeans who were on this side of the river, sent to king Darius.
Ma e baruwa machal gi mane Tatenai, ruodh Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai gi joma negitiyogo kanyakla, kod jotend Yufrate, noorone Ruoth Darius.
7 They sent an account to him, and thus it was written in it: All peace to king Darius.
Wach mane giorone ne chalo kama: Ne Ruoth Darius: Wamosi ahinya.
8 Be it known to the king, that we went into the land of Judea, to the house of the great God; and it is building with choice stones, and they are laying timbers in the walls, and that work is prospering, and goes on favourably in their hands.
Ruoth onego ngʼe nine wadhi e gwengʼ mar Juda, e hekalu mar Nyasaye maduongʼ. Ji gedo gi kite madongo kendo giketo bepe e kore. Tich tiyore e yo modimbore kendo odhi nyime mapiyo e bwo telo margi.
9 Then we asked those elders, and thus we said to them, Who gave you the order to build this house, and to [provide] this preparation?
Ne wamiyo jodongo penjo ka wapenjogi niya, “En ngʼa momiyou thuolo mar gero hekaluni kendo loso iye?”
10 And we asked them their names, [in order] to declare [them] to you, so as to write to you the names of their leading men.
Bende ne wapenjogi nying-gi, mondo omi wandik nying jotendgi ne in.
11 And they answered us thus, saying, We [are] the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we [are] building the house which had been built many years before this, and a great king of Israel built it, and established it for them.
Ma e dwoko mane gimiyowa: Wan jotich mar Nyasach polo kod piny, kendo wagero hekalu manyien mane oger higni mangʼeny mokalo, mano mane ruoth maduongʼ mar Israel ogero kendo otieko.
12 But after that our fathers provoked the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the Chaldean, king of Babylon, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people captive to Babylon.
To nikech wuonewa nowangʼo ii Nyasach Polo, nochiwogi ne Nebukadneza ja-Kaldea, ruodh Babulon, ma nomuko hekaluni kendo oriembo ji nyaka Babulon.
13 And in the first year of king Cyrus, Cyrus the king made a decree that this house of God should be built.
Kata kamano, e higa mokwongo mar Sairas ruodh Babulon, Ruoth Sairas nochiwo chik mondo odni mar Nyasaye oger manyien.
14 And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nabuchodonosor brought out from the house that was in Jerusalem, and carried them into the temple of the king, them did king Cyrus bring out from the temple of the king, and gave them to Sabanasar the treasurer, who was over the treasurer;
Bende nogolo koa e hekalu mar Babulon gige dhahabu gi fedha mar od Nyasaye, gigo mane Nebukadneza okawo koa e hekalu man Jerusalem kendo okelo e hekalu man Babulon. Bangʼe Ruoth Sairas nomiyogi ngʼat ma nyinge Sheshbaza, mane osewalo jatelo,
15 and said to him, Take all the vessels, and go, put them in the house that is in Jerusalem in their place.
kendo onyise niya, “Kaw gigi kendo idhi mi ikan-gi e hekalu man Jerusalem. Kendo iger manyien od Nyasaye e kare machon.”
16 Then that Sabanazar came, and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem: and from that time even until now it has been building, and has not been finished.
Omiyo ngʼatni miluongo ni Sheshbaza nobiro mi oketo mise mar od Nyasaye e Jerusalem. Kochakore e odiechiengno nyaka sani pod igere to pod ok otieke.
17 And now, if it [seem] good to the king, lest search be made in the treasure-house of the king at Babylon, that you may know [if it be] that a decree was made by king Cyrus to build that house of God that was in Jerusalem, and let the king send to us when he has learnt concerning this [matter].
Omiyo koro ka berne ruoth, to mondo nonro otim e kar keno mag gik machon mar Babulon mondo ne ka Ruoth Sairas nochiwo chik mondo oger manyien od Nyasaye e Jerusalem. Eka ruoth mondo oornwa kaka ongʼado wachni.
