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,
यसपछि फारसका राजा अर्तासास्तको शासनकालमा बेबिलोनबाट एज्रा आए । एज्राका पुर्खाहरू यिनै थिएः सरायाह, अजर्याह, हिल्कियाह,
2 the son of Selum, the son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob,
शल्लूम, सादोक, अहीतूब,
3 the son of Samarias, the son of Esria, the son of Mareoth,
अमर्याह, अजर्याह, मरायोत,
4 the son of Zaraia, the son of Ozias, the son of Bokki,
जरयाह, उज्जी, बुक्की,
5 the son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the first priest.
अबीशू, पीनहास, एलाजार । एलाजार प्रधान पुजारी हारूनका छोरा थिए ।
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.
एज्रा बेबिलोनबाट आए, र इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका मोशाको व्यवस्थामा तिनी निपुण अध्यापक थिए । परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि भएको हुनाले तिनले मागेका हरेक कुरा राजाले दिए ।
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.
राजा अर्तासास्तको सातौं वर्षमा इस्राएलका केही सन्तानहरू, पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, मन्दिरका गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू र मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्त गरिएकाहरू पनि यरूशलेममा गए ।
8 And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this [was] the seventh year of the king.
तिनी त्यही वर्षको पाँचौं महिनामा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
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.
पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा तिनी बेबिलोनबाट हिंडेका थिए । परमेश्वरको असल हात तिनीमाथि रहेको हुनाले तिनी पाँचौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
10 For Esdras had determined in his heart to seek the law, and to do and teach the ordinances and judgements in Israel.
परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू अध्ययन गर्न, पालन गर्न र सिकाउन एज्राले आफ्नो ह्रदय समर्पित गरेका थिए ।
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.
राजा अर्तासास्तले इस्राएलका लागि परमप्रभुका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू सिकाउन पुजारी र अध्यापक एज्रालाई दिएको आदेशको प्रतिलिपी यही हो,
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.
“राजाहरूका राजा अर्तासास्तबाट स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाका अध्यापक पुजारी एज्रालाई,
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.
इस्राएलबाट आएका मेरो राज्यमा भएका कुनै पनि व्यक्ति आफ्ना पुजारी र लेवीहरूका साथमा यरूशलेममा जाने इच्छा गर्छ भने त्यो तिमीसँगै जान सक्छ भनी म हुकुम दिंदैछु।
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.
तिम्रो हातमा भएको परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामुताबिक यहूदा र यरूशलेमको बारेमा सोधखोज गर्न म राजा र मेरा सात जना सल्लाहकारले तिमीलाई पठाएका छौं ।
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.
यरूशलेममा बास गर्नुहुने इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई तिनीहरूले सित्तैंमा चढाएका चाँदी र सुन लिएर जानू ।
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.
बेबिलोनको प्रदेशभरि तिमीले लैजान सक्ने जति चाँदी र सुनसाथै यरूशलेममा आफ्ना परमेश्वरका मन्दिरको निम्ति मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूले खुसीसाथ जुन भेटीहरू दिन्छन्, ती पनि तिमीले लैजानू ।
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.
त्यसैले यस रकमले प्रशस्त मात्रामा गोरुहरू, भेडाहरू, थुमाहरू, अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि किन्नू । यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको वेदीमा ति चढाउनू ।
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.
तिम्रा परमेश्वरलाई खुसी तुल्याउन तिमी र तिम्रा दाजुभाइलाई असल लागेअनुसार बाँकी चाँदी र सुनको प्रयोग गर्नू ।
19 And deliver the vessels that are given you for the service of the house of God, before God in Jerusalem.
तिमीलाई सित्तैंमा दिइएका चिजहरू यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सेवाको लागि उहाँको सामु राख्नू ।
20 And as to the rest of the need of the house of your God, you shall give from the king's treasure-houses,
तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको लागि आवश्यक कुनै पनि थोक किन्नलाई मेरो कोषबाट पैसा लिनू ।
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,
म अर्तासास्तले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै कोषाध्यक्ष यो आदेश दिन्छु, कि एज्राले तिमीहरूबाट मागेका कुनै पनि थोक प्रचुर मात्रामा दिनू,
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.
अर्थात् एक सय तोडा चाँदी, एक सय कोर गहुँ, एक सय बाथ दाखमद्य, एक सय बाथ तेल र नूनचाहिं असिमित रूपमा दिनू ।
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.
स्वर्गका परमेश्वरबाट आउने कुनै पनि आज्ञा आउँछ भने उहाँको मन्दिरको लागि भक्तिसहित पुरा गर्नू । किनकि म र मेरा छोराहरूको राज्यमाथि उहाँको क्रोध पर्न किन दिनू?
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.
पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू वा मन्दिरको सेवामा नियुक्त गरिएका मानिसहरू र परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सेवकहरूमा तिमीहरूले कुनै महसुल वा कर नलगाउनु भनेर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई जानकारी गराउँदैछौं ।
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.
एज्रा, तिमीलाई परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको बुद्धिले तिमीले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै मानिसको न्याय गर्न र तिम्रो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था जान्ने सबैको सेवा गर्न न्यायकर्ताहरू र अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नू । व्यवस्था नजान्नेहरूलाई पनि तिमीले सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
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.
परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था वा राजाको व्यवस्थालाई पूर्ण रूपमा पालन नगर्ने जोकसैलाई मृत्युदण्ड, देश निकाला, तिनीहरूका थोकहरू जफत वा कैद गरेर दण्ड दिनू ।
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;
हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको स्तुति होस् जसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको महिमा गर्न राजाको ह्रदयमा यी सबै कुरा हाल्नुभयो,
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.
अनि राजा, तिनका सल्लाहाकारहरू र तिनका सबै शक्तिशाली अधिकारीहरूका सामु मलाई उहाँको करारको विश्वास्तता देखाउनुभयो । म परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरको हातद्वारा बलियो बनाइएको छु, र मैले आफूसित जानलाई इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गरें ।
