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.
Ary ny mpaminany, dia Hagay mpaminany sy Zakaria, zanak’ Ido, naminany tamin’ ny Jiosy tany Joda sy Jerosalema tamin’ ny anaran’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely izay tao aminy.
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.
Dia nitsangana Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, ka nanomboka nanao ny tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema indray; ary ireo mpaminanin’ Andriamanitra ireo dia teo aminy ka nanampy azy.
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?
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany ihany koa dia nankany amin’ ireo Tatenay, governoran’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ, sy Setara-bozenay mbamin’ ny namany; ka izao no nataony taminy: Iza no nandidy anareo hanao io trano io sy hahavita io manda io?
4 Then they spoke thus to them, What are the names of the men that build this city?
Ary izao koa no nataonay taminy Iza avy no anaran’ izay lehilahy manao io trano io?
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
Nefa ny mason’ Andriamaniny nitsinjo ny loholon’ ny Joda, ka tsy nahasakana azy ireo, mandra-pahatongan’ ny teny ho any amin’ i Dariosy sy ny nahazoany ny valiny ny amin’ izany raharaha izany.
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.
Ny tenin’ ny taratasy izay nampitondrain’ i Tatenay, governoran’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ, sy Setara-bozenay ary ny Afarsekita namany, izay amin’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ; ho any amin’ i Dariosy mpanjaka;
7 They sent an account to him, and thus it was written in it: All peace to king Darius.
eny, nampitondrainy ho any aminy ny taratasy izay nisy teny toy izao: Ho an’ i Dariosy mpanjaka anie ny fiadanana be.
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.
Aoka ho fantatry ny mpanjaka fa nankany amin’ ny tany Joda izahay ho any an-tranon’ Andriamanitra lehibe, izay atao amin’ ny vato vaventy, sady misy hazo alatsaka amin’ ny rindrin-trano, ary mandroso tsara izany asa izany sady ambinina eo an-tànany.
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?
Dia nanontany ireo loholona ireo izahay nanao hoe: Iza no nandidy anareo hanao io trano io sy hanangana io manda io?
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.
Nanontany ny anarany avy koa izahay mba hampahafantarinay anao sy hosoratanay ny anaran’ ny olona izay lohany;
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.
ka izao no teny navaliny anay: Izahay dia mpanompon’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra sy ny tany ka manamboatra ny trano izay efa vita ela, fa ny mpanjaka lehibe anankiray tamin’ ny Isiraely no nanao sy nahavita azy.
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.
Fa noho ny nampahatezeran’ ny razanay an’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra, dia natolony izy ho eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara Kaldeana, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, izay efa nandrava io trano io ka nitondra ny olona ho babo tany Babylona.
13 And in the first year of king Cyrus, Cyrus the king made a decree that this house of God should be built.
Fa tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, kosa dia nanao didy Kyrosy mpanjaka, mba hatao indray io tranon’ Andriamanitra io.
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;
Ary ny fanaka volamena sy volafotsy momba ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, izay efa nalain’ i Nebokadnezara tao amin’ ny tempoly tany Jerosalema ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny tempoly any Babylona, dia nalain’ i Kyrosy mpanjaka tao amin’ ny tempoly any Babylona ka natolotra tamin’ ny anankiray atao hoe Sesbazara, izay efa notendreny ho governora;
15 and said to him, Take all the vessels, and go, put them in the house that is in Jerusalem in their place.
ary hoy izy taminy: Raiso ireo fanaka ireo, ka andeha, apetraho ao amin’ ny tempoly izay any Jerosalema; ary aoka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra hatsangana eo amin’ ilay efa niorenany ihany.
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.
Dia avy Sesbazara ka nanao ny fanorenan’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema; ary hatramin’ izany andro izany ka mandraka ankehitriny dia efa natao ihany izy, saingy tsy mbola vita.
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].
Koa raha sitraky ny mpanjaka, aoka hizahana ny trano firaketan’ ny mpanjaka, izay any Babylona, na misy didy nataon’ i Kyrosy mpanjaka hanaovana io tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema io, na tsia; ary aoka ny sitrapon’ ny mpanjaka hambarany aminay ny amin’ izany zavatra izany.
