< Ezra 3 >
1 And now the seventh month had arrived, and the sons of Israel were in their cities. Then, the people were gathered together, like one man, in Jerusalem.
Kad nu septītais mēnesis atnāca, un Israēla bērni bija savās pilsētās, tad tie ļaudis sapulcējās Jeruzāleme tā kā viens vienīgs vīrs.
2 And Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, rose up with his brothers, the priests. And Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, rose up with his brothers. And they built the altar of the God of Israel, so that they might offer holocausts upon it, just as it was written in the law of Moses, the man of God.
Un Ješuūs, Jocadaka dēls, cēlās ar saviem brāļiem, tiem priesteriem un Zerubabels, Šealtiēļa dēls, ar saviem brāļiem, un uzcēla Israēla Dieva altāri, uz viņa upurēt dedzināmos upurus, kā stāv rakstīts Mozus, Tā Dieva vīra, bauslībā.
3 Now they set the altar of God upon its bases, while keeping the people of all the surrounding lands away from it. And they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord, morning and evening.
Un tie uzcēla to altāri savā vietā, gan bīdamies no tās zemes tautām, un uz tā upurēja dedzināmos upurus Tam Kungam, dedzināmos upurus rītos un vakaros,
4 And they kept the solemnity of tabernacles, just as it was written, and the holocaust of each day in order, according to the precept, the work of each day in its time.
Un turēja lieveņu svētkus, kā stāv rakstīts, un upurēja ikdienas dedzināmos upurus pēc tā skaita, kā pienācās, ikdienas savus;
5 And after these, they offered the continual holocaust, as much on the new moons as on all the solemnities of the Lord that were consecrated, and on all those when a voluntary gift was offered to the Lord.
Un pēc tam arī tos nemitējamos dedzināmos upurus un kā nākas jaunos mēnešos un visos, Tam Kungam svētītos svētkos un priekš ikviena, kas Tam Kungam atnesa kādu labprātības dāvanu.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer holocausts to the Lord. But the temple of God had not yet been founded.
No septītā mēneša pirmās dienas tie iesāka Tam Kungam upurēt dedzināmos upurus; bet Tā Kunga nama pamats vēl nebija likts.
7 And so they gave money to those who cut and laid stones. Similarly, they gave food, and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians, so that they would bring cedar wood, from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, in accord with what had been commanded of them by Cyrus, the king of the Persians.
Un tie deva naudu akmeņu cirtējiem un amatniekiem un ēst un dzert un eļļu Sidoniešiem un Tiriešiem, lai tie vestu ciedru kokus no Lībanus jūrmalā uz Jazu, kā Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņš, tiem bija vēlējis.
8 Then, in the second year of their advent to the temple of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the remainder of their brothers, the priests, and the Levites, and all who had arrived from the captivity to Jerusalem, began, and they appointed Levites, from twenty years and over, to hasten the work of the Lord.
Tad nu otrā gadā pēc viņu atnākšanas pie Dieva nama Jeruzālemē, otrā mēnesī, Zerubabels, Šealtiēļa dēls, un Ješuūs, Jocadaka dēls, un tie atlikušie no viņu brāļiem, priesteri un leviti un visi, kas no cietuma zemes bija pārnākuši Jeruzālemē, iesāka un iecēla tos levitus, kas divdesmit gadus veci un pāri, par uzraugiem pie Tā Kunga nama darba.
9 And Jeshua and his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, and the sons of Judah, like one man, stood so that they might have charge over those who did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brothers, the Levites.
Un Ješuūs, viņa dēli un viņa brāļi, Kadmiēls un viņa dēli, un Jūda dēli stāvēja kā viens vienīgs vīrs, uzraugi būdami pār tiem, kas to darbu pie Tā Kunga nama darīja, tāpat Henadada bērni, viņu dēli un viņu brāļi, tie leviti.
10 And when the builders had founded the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their adornment with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, stood with cymbals, so that they might praise God by the hand of David, the king of Israel.
Kad nu tie amatnieki Tā Kunga namam lika pamatu, tad nostādīja priesterus amata drēbēs ar bazūnēm un levitus, Asafa dēlus, ar pulkstenīšiem, To Kungu teikt ar Dāvida, Israēla ķēniņa dziesmām.
11 And they sung together with hymns and confession to the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is over Israel unto eternity.” And likewise, all the people shouted with a great clamor in praise to the Lord, because the temple of the Lord had been founded.
Un tie dziedāja viens par otru, To Kungu teikdami un slavēdami, ka Tas ir labs, un Viņa žēlastība paliek mūžīgi pār Israēli. Un visi ļaudis gavilēja ar lielu gavilēšanu, To Kungu teikdami, ka pamats bija likts Tā Kunga namam.
12 And many of the priests and the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers and of the elders, who had seen the former temple, when now this temple was founded and was before their eyes, wept with a great voice. And many of them, shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.
Bet daudz priesteru un levitu un cilts tēvu, kas bija veci, kas bija redzējuši to pirmo namu, kad tie šim namam redzēja pamatu liekam, tad tie raudāja gauži. Bet daudz atkal pacēla savas balsis ar gavilēšanu un ar prieku,
13 Neither could anyone distinguish between the voice of clamor of joy, and a voice of weeping of the people. For the shouting of the people mixed into a great clamor, and the voice was heard from far away.
Tā ka tie ļaudis nevarēja izšķirt to gaviļu un prieka balsi no ļaužu raudāšanas, jo tie ļaudis gavilēja ar skaņu gavilēšanu, un tā skaņa bija tālu dzirdama.
