Ezra 6
1 Then king Darius instructed, and they searched in the library of books that were deposited in Babylon.
A LAILA kauoha ae la o Dariu ke alii, imihia ma ka hale o na palapala, kahi i waiho ai na waiwai ilaila ma Babulona.
2 And there was found at Ecbatana, which is a fortified place in the province of Media, one volume, and this record was written in it:
A loaa iho la, ma Akemeta, ma ka halealii, o ko Media, he palapala, a peneia ka olelo i kakauia'i maloko.
3 “In the first year of king Cyrus, Cyrus the king decreed that the house of God, which is in Jerusalem, shall be built in the place where they immolate victims, and that they should set the foundations so as to support a height of sixty cubits and a width of sixty cubits,
I ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii, kauoha ae la o ua Kuro la ke alii no ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema, E hauaia ka hale, kahi i kaumaha aku ai i na mohai, a e hoonohopaaia ke kumu; he kanaono hailima ke kiekie, a he kanaono hailima ka laula;
4 with three rows of rough stones, and so as to have rows of new timber, and that the expenses shall be given from the house of the king.
Pakolu na papapohaku kalai, a e pakahi hoi ka papa laau hou; a e haawiia ka waiwai mai ka hale o ke alii mai:
5 But also, let the gold and silver vessels of the temple of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple of Jerusalem, and which he carried away to Babylon, be restored and be carried back to the temple of Jerusalem, to their place, just as they had been placed in the temple of God.
A o na kiaha gula hoi a me ke kala o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae mai ka luakini mai ma Ierusalema, a hali mai i Babulona, e hoihoiia'ku, a e haliia aku i ka luakini ma Ierusalema, o kela keia ma kona wahi iho, a e waiho ma ka hale o ke Akua.
6 Now therefore, let Tattenai, the governor of the region which is beyond the river, Shetharbozenai, and your counselors, the rulers who are beyond the river, withdraw far away from them,
Ano hoi, e Tatenai, ke kiaaina ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, a me Setare bozenai, a me ko laua poe hoalawehana, ka poe Aparesaka, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, e hookaawaleia oukou mai ia wahi aku.
7 and let this temple of God be released to the governor of the Jews and to their elders, so that they may build that house of God in its place.
E waiho malie oukou i ka hana o keia hale o ke Akua; a o ke alii kiaaina o na Iudaio, a me ka poe kahiko o na Iudaio, e hana lakou i keia hale o ke Akua ma kona wahi.
8 Moreover, it has been instructed by me as to what ought to be done by those priests of the Jews, so that the house of God may be built, specifically, that from the king’s treasury, that is, from the tribute which is taken from the region beyond the river, the expenses shall be scrupulously given to those men, so that the work may not be impeded.
Eia hoi ka'u o kauoha aku nei i ka mea a oukou e hana aku ai i na lunakahiko o keia poe Iudaio, no ka hana ana i keia hale o ke Akua: noloko mai o ka waiwai o ke alii, oia ka hookupu ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, e haawi koke ia'ku ka waiwai no keia poe kanaka, i keakea ole ia'i lakou.
9 But if it may be necessary, let also calves, and lambs, and young goats for holocausts to the God of heaven, with grain, salt, wine, and oil, according to the rite of the priests who are in Jerusalem, be given to them for each day, so that there may be no complaint in anything.
A o na mea e pono ai lakou, o na keikibipikane, a o na hipakane, a me na keikihipa, no na mohaikuni na ke Akua o ka lani, o ka palaoa, ka paakai, o ka waina, a me ka aila, e like me ke kauoha a na kahuna ma Ierusalema, e haawiia'ku ia na lakou i kela la keia la, aole ka ole:
10 And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and let them pray for the life of the king and for the lives of his sons.
I kaumaha aku ai lakou i na mea ala i ke Akua o ka lani, a i pule aku hoi no ke ola o ke alii, a no kana mau keiki.
11 Therefore, the decree has been set forth by me, so that, if there be any man who will change this order, a beam shall be taken from his own house, and it shall be set up, and he shall be nailed to it. Then his house shall be confiscated.
A ke kauoha aku nei no hoi au, o kela kanaka keia kanaka e hoololi i keia olelo, e laweia ka laau mai kona hale mai, a kukuluia, e kaaweia oia maluna o ia mea, a e hooliloia kona hale i puu lepo no keia mea.
12 So then, may the God who has caused his name to live there destroy any kingdoms or people who would extend their hand to fight against or to destroy that house of God, which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have established the decree, which I wish to be fulfilled scrupulously.”
A o ke Akua, nana i waiho kona inoa malaila, e luku aku ia i na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka, ke o aku ko lakou lima e hoololi, a e wawahi i keia hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema. Owau, o Dariu ka i kauoha aku; e hana koke ia hoi oia.
13 Therefore, Tattenai, the governor of the region beyond the river, and Shetharbozenai, and his counselors, in accord with what king Darius had instructed, diligently executed the same.
Alaila o Tatenai, ke kiaaina ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, e Setare-bozenai, a me ko laua hoalawehana, e like me ka mea a ke alii i hoouna mai ai, pela lakou i hana koke aku ai.
14 Then the elders of the Jews were building and prospering, in accord with the prophecy of Haggai, the prophet, and Zechariah, the son of Iddo. And they built and constructed by the order of the God of Israel, and by the order of Cyrus and Darius, as well as Artaxerxes, the kings of the Persians.
A hana aku la na luna kahiko o na Iudaio, a ua pomaikai lakou ma ka wanana a Hagai ke kaula, a me Zakaria ke keiki a Ido. A hana lakou, a hoopaa hoi, e like me ke kauoha a ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a like hoi me ke kauoha a Kuro, a me Dariu, a me Aretasaseta, ke alii o Peresia.
15 And they completed this house of God on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
A ua hoopaaia keia hale i ke kolu o ka la o ka malama Adara, oia ke oao o ka makahiki a Dariu ke alii i noho alii ai.
16 Then the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the remainder of the sons of the transmigration celebrated the dedication of the house of God with gladness.
A o na mamo a Iseraela, na kahuna, a me na Levi, a me na mea i koe o ka poe i pio, hoolaa aku la lakou i keia hale o ke Akua me ka olioli.
17 And they offered, for the dedication of the house of God, one hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and, as a sin offering for all of Israel, twelve he-goats from among the goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
A kaumaha aku la no ka hoolaa ana i keia hale o ke Akua, i hookahi haneri bipikane, i elua haneri hipakane, a i eha haneri keikihipa; a i umikumamalua na kaokane i mohaihala no ka Iseraela a pau, e like me na ohana o ka Iseraela.
18 And they appointed the priests into their divisions, and the Levites into their turns, over the works of God in Jerusalem, just as it was written in the book of Moses.
A hoonoho iho la lakou i na kahuna ma ko lakou mau papa, a me na Levi ma ko lakou mau papa, no ka oihana o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; e like me ko kauoha ma ka buke a Mose.
19 Then the sons of Israel of the transmigration kept the Passover, on the fourteenth day of the first month.
A malama aku la ka poe i pio i ka moliaola, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama mua.
20 For the priests and Levites had been purified as one. All were cleansed in order to immolate the Passover for all the sons of the transmigration, and for their brothers, the priests, and for themselves.
No ka mea, ua huikala pu ia na kahuna, a me na Levi, a ua maemae lakou a pau, a kalua aku la lakou i ka moliaola, no ka poe i pio a pau, a no ko lakou poe hoahanau na kahuna, a no lakou iho.
21 And the sons of Israel, who had been returned from the transmigration, and all those who had separated themselves from the defilement of the Gentiles of the earth to them, so that they might seek the Lord, the God of Israel, ate
A ai iho la na mamo a Iseraela, ka poe i hoi mai, mai ke pio ana mai, a me ka poe a pau i hookaawale ia lakou iho mai ka mea haumia o na lahuikanaka o ka aina, e imi ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela;
22 and kept the solemnity of unleavened bread for seven days with joy. For the Lord had made them joyful, and he had converted the heart of the king of Assur to them, so that he would assist their hands in the work of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel.
A malama lakou i ka ahaaina berena hu ole i na la ehiku me ka olioli: no ka mea, o Iehova ka i hoohauoli mai ia lakou, a hoohuli mai i ka naau o ke alii o Asuria ia lakou, e hooikaika i ko lakou lima i ka hana ana i ka hale o ke Akua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
