< 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.
Nígbà tí ó di oṣù keje tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ti wà nínú àwọn ìlú wọn, àwọn ènìyàn péjọpọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹnìkan ní Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Jeṣua ọmọ Josadaki àti àwọn àlùfáà ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní kọ́ pẹpẹ Ọlọ́run Israẹli láti rú ẹbọ sísun níbẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà tí a ti kọ sínú ìwé òfin Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run.
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.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé ẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn tí ó yí wọn ká ń bà wọ́n síbẹ̀, wọ́n kọ́ pẹpẹ sórí ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sísun lórí rẹ̀ sí Olúwa, ọrẹ àárọ̀ àti ìrọ̀lẹ́.
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.
Nígbà náà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ohun tí a kọ, wọ́n ṣe àjọ àgọ́ ìpàdé pẹ̀lú iye ẹbọ sísun tí a fi lélẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan.
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà, wọ́n ṣe ìrúbọ ẹbọ sísun àtìgbàdégbà, ẹbọ oṣù tuntun àti gbogbo àwọn ẹbọ fún gbogbo àpèjẹ tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa, àti àwọn tí a mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ àtinúwá fún Olúwa.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù keje, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a kò ì tí ì fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilé Olúwa lélẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n fún àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé àti àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà ní owó, wọ́n sì tún fi oúnjẹ, ohun mímu àti òróró fún àwọn ará Sidoni àti Tire, kí wọ́n ba à le è kó igi kedari gba ti orí omi Òkun láti Lebanoni wá sí Joppa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kirusi ọba Persia ti pàṣẹ.
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.
Ní oṣù kejì ọdún kejì lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n ti padà dé sí ilé Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu, Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli, Jeṣua ọmọ Josadaki àti àwọn arákùnrin yòókù (àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti ìgbèkùn dé sí Jerusalẹmu) bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ náà. Wọ́n sì yan àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí ó tó ọmọ-ogun ọdún sókè láti máa bojútó kíkọ́ ilé Olúwa.
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.
Jeṣua àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti Kadmieli àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ Juda (àwọn ìran Hodafiah) àti àwọn ọmọ Henadadi àti àwọn ọmọ wọn àti àwọn arákùnrin wọn—gbogbo ará Lefi—parapọ̀ láti bojútó àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ náà tí wọ́n ń ṣiṣẹ́ lórí í kíkọ́ ilé Ọlọ́run.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé gbé ìpìlẹ̀ ilé Olúwa kalẹ̀, àwọn àlùfáà nínú aṣọ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà wọn pẹ̀lú fèrè, àti àwọn ará Lefi (àwọn ọmọ Asafu) pẹ̀lú símbálì, dúró ní ipò wọn láti yin Olúwa, bí Dafidi ọba Israẹli ti fi lélẹ̀.
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.
Pẹ̀lú ìyìn àti ọpẹ́ ni wọ́n kọrin sí Olúwa: “Ó dára; ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ sí Israẹli dúró títí láé.” Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì fi ohùn ariwo ńlá yin Olúwa, nítorí tí a ti fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilé Olúwa lélẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pọ̀ lára àwọn àgbà àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi àti àwọn olórí ìdílé, tí ó ti rí tẹmpili Olúwa ti tẹ́lẹ̀, wọ́n sọkún kíkorò nígbà tí wọ́n rí ìpìlẹ̀ tẹmpili Olúwa yìí tí wọ́n fi lélẹ̀, nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ kígbe fún ayọ̀.
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.
Kò sí ẹni tí ó le mọ ìyàtọ̀ láàrín igbe ayọ̀ àti ẹkún, nítorí tí ariwo àwọn ènìyàn náà pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́ẹ́. Wọ́n sì gbọ́ igbe náà ní ọ̀nà jíjìn réré.
