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,
Hae tiah oh pacoeng, Persia siangpahrang Artaxerxes dung nathuem ah, Ezara ih capa loe Seraiah, anih loe Azariah ih capa, anih loe Hilkiah ih capa,
2 the son of Selum, the son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob,
anih loe Shallum ih capa, anih loe Zadok ih capa, anih loe Ahitub ih capa,
3 the son of Samarias, the son of Esria, the son of Mareoth,
anih loe Amariah ih capa, anih loe Azariah ih capa, anih loe Meriaoth ih capa,
4 the son of Zaraia, the son of Ozias, the son of Bokki,
anih loe Zerahiah ih capa, anih loe Uzzi ih capa, anih loe Bukki ih capa,
5 the son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the first priest.
anih loe Abishua ih capa, anih loe Phinehas ih capa, anih loe Eleazar ih capa, anih loe kalen koek qaima Aaron ih capa ah oh;
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.
Hae Ezra loe Babylon hoiah angzoh; anih loe ca tarikkung ah oh moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih, Mosi ih daan panoek bit kami ah oh: angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw loe anih nuiah oh pongah, a hnik sarui hmuen to siangpahrang mah anih hanah 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 doorkeepers, and the Nathinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Arthasastha the king.
Thoemto Israel kaminawk, qaimanawk, Levinawk, laasah kaminawk, khongkha toep kaminawk hoi im ah toksah tamnanawk loe, Artaxerxes siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning sarihto naah, Jerusalem ah caeh o tahang.
8 And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this [was] the seventh year of the king.
Ezra loe siangpahrang toksakhaih saning sarihto haih, khrah pangato naah, Jerusalem ah phak.
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.
Anih loe khrah tangsuekhaih niah Babylon hoiah caeh moe, angmah ih Sithaw tahmenhaih anih nuiah oh pongah, khrah pangato haih, ni tangsuek naah Jerusalem vangpui to a phak.
10 For Esdras had determined in his heart to seek the law, and to do and teach the ordinances and judgements in Israel.
Ezra loe Sithaw ih daan pazui hanah, kahoih ah amtuk moe, Israel kaminawk patuk hanah poekhaih a tawnh.
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.
Hae ca loe Artaxerxes siangpahrang mah qaima, ca tarikkung Ezra khaeah paek ih tarik pakong ih kawpi ca ah oh; anih loe Israel kaminawk zaehhoihhaih daan, Angraeng mah paek ih loknawk tarikkung ah oh.
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.
Siangpahrangnawk ih siangpahrang Artaxerxes mah, van Sithaw ih daan patukkung, qaima Ezra khaeah, monghaih om nasoe, tiah vaihi ca ka tarik.
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 you.
Ka prae thungah kaom, qaimanawk, Levinawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih, mi kawbaktih doeh Jerusalem ah caeh koeh kami loe, nangmah hoi nawnto caeh o nasoe, tiah lok takroekhaih ka sak boeh.
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 your hand.
Vaihi na ban ah kaom, na Sithaw ih patukhaih daan baktih, Judah hoi Jerusalem kawng to dueng hanah, siangpahrang hoi poekhaih kahoih paekkung sarihto mah, ang patoeh baktih toengah;
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.
siangpahrang hoi poekhaih kahoih paekkungnawk mah, Jerusalem ah kaom, Israel Sithaw khaeah azom ah paek ih sui hoi sumkanglungnawk,
16 And all the silver and gold, whatever you shall find in all the land of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people, and the priests that offer freely for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem ah kaom, angmacae ih Sithaw im hanah, kaminawk hoi qaimanawk mah azom ah paek ih, Babylon prae thung hoiah hak ih sui hoi sumkanglungnawk boih doeh sin ah;
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 you shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
hae phoisa hoiah maitaw taenawk, tuu taenawk, tuu caanawk, paek han koi canghumnawk hoi naek han koi tuinawk to qan ah loe, Jerusalem ih na Sithaw hmaicam ah tathlang ah.
18 And whatever it shall seem good to you and to your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do as it is pleasing to your God.
Nangmah hoi nam nawkamyanawk mah, sak han hoih, tiah na poek o ih baktih toengah, sui hoi sumkanglung to na Sithaw koehhaih baktiah patoh oh.
19 And deliver the vessels that are given you for the service of the house of God, before God in Jerusalem.
Na Sithaw ih im ah toksak haih hanah, nang khaeah kang paek ih laom sabaenawk doeh, Jerusalem Sithaw hmaa ah paek boih ah.
20 And as to the rest of the need of the house of your God, you shall give from the king's treasure-houses,
Na Sithaw im han kangaih hmuen, paek han koi kalah hmuennawk om vop nahaeloe, siangpahrang ih phoisa hoiah paek ah.
21 and from me, whatever it shall seem [good] to you 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,
Van Sithaw ih lokpaekhaih ca tarikkung, qaima Ezra mah hnik ih hmuennawk boih to, paek hanah vaihi kai, Artaxxerxes siangpahrang mah, vapui yaeh ah kaom hmuenmae pakuemkungnawk khaeah,
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.
sumkanglung talent cumvaito, cang kor cumvaito, misurtui bath cumvaito, olive situi bath cumvaito hoi noek ai ah paloi to paek o hanah, lok ka paek boeh.
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.
Siangpahrang hoi a caanawk nuiah palungphui han ai ah, van Sithaw mah hnik ih hmuen boih, van Sithaw ih im hanah tha pathok oh loe, paek oh;
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 you; you shall not have power to oppress them.
to pacoengah qaimanawk, Levinawk, laasah kaminawk, khongkha toep kaminawk, Nethinims tiah kawk ih im thungah toksah kaminawk hoi kalah im toksah tamnanawk khaeah, tamut na cong o mak ai, tiah panoek sak han ka koeh.
25 And you, Esdras, as the wisdom of God [is] in your hand, appoint scribes and judges, that they may judge for all the people beyond the river, all that know the law of the Lord your God; and you shall make it known to him that knows not.
Nang Ezra doeh, Sithaw palunghahaih na tawnh baktih toengah, vapui yaeh ah kaom kaminawk mah, toenghaih hoi lokcaek o thaih moe, na Sithaw mah paek ih lok to patuk hanah, ukkungnawk hoi lokcaekkungnawk to suem ah.
26 And whoever shall not do the law of God, and the law of the king readily, judgement shall be taken upon him, whether for death or for chastisement, or for a fine of his property, or casting into prison.
Mi kawbaktih doeh na Sithaw patukhaih koeh ai moe, siangpahrang lok tahngai ai kami loe humhaih, haekhaih, hmuenmae lomh paehaih, thongim thungah pakhrakhaih to karangah paek oh, tiah tarik ih lok to ca thungah oh.
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;
Aicae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe, Angraeng mah Jerusalem ih im kranghoisak hanah, siangpahrang palungthin thungah toksak pae;
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.
Angraeng mah ni a tahmenhaih to siangpahrang khaeah, poekhaih kahoih paek kaminawk hoi thacak siangpahrang ih angraengnawk boih hmaa ah amtuengsak. Ka Angraeng Sithaw ih ban ka nuiah oh pongah, tha ka cak moe, kai hoi nawnto caeh hanah Israel thung ih kacoehtanawk to amkhuengsak.
