< Ezra 1 >
1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
Pea ko eni, ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, pea koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, naʻe ueʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, pea naʻe fanongonongo ʻe ia ʻae fono ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea naʻe tohi ia foki, ʻo pehē,
2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, “Kuo tuku kiate au ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani: pea kuo fekau ʻe ia kiate au ke u langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta.
3 Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi hono kakai kotoa pē? Ke ʻiate ia ʻa hono ʻOtua, pea ke ʻalu hake ia ki Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta, pea ke langa ʻae fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, (ko ia ia ko e ʻOtua, ) ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
4 And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”
Pea mo ia fulipē ʻoku toe ʻi ha potu ʻaia ʻoku ʻāunofo ia ki ai, tuku ke tokoni ia ʻe he kau tangata ʻo hono potu ʻaki ʻae siliva, pea mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi koloa pea mo e fanga manu, ko hono fakalahi ia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku foaki loto lelei ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.”
5 And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ai ʻae kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he mātuʻa ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau Livai, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakaakeake honau laumālie ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻalu hake ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
6 And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
Pea naʻe fakamālohi honau nima ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nonofo fakataha mo kinautolu, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi koloa, mo e fanga manu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa pe.
7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
Pea naʻe fetuku mai foki ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa mei Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tuku ia ʻi he fale ʻo hono ngaahi ʻotua;
8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
ʻIo, naʻe ʻomi ia [kotoa pē ]ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia ʻi he nima ʻo Mitilitati ko e tauhi koloa, pea lau ia kia Sesipasa, ko e ʻeiki ʻo Siuta.
9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
Pea ko hono lau eni: ko e ipu lafalafa koula ʻe tolungofulu, mo e ipu lafalafa siliva ʻe taha afe, mo e hele ʻe uofulu ma hiva,
10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
Ko e ipu luoluo koula ʻe tolungofulu, mo e ipu luoluo siliva ʻoe anga ʻe taha ko e fāngeau mo e hongofulu, pea ko e ngaahi ipu kehe ʻe taha afe.
11 All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
Ko e ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva kotoa pē ko e nima afe mo e nimangeau. Naʻe fetuku eni kotoa pē ʻe Sesipasa fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoe kau pōpula ʻaia naʻe ʻohake mei Papilone ki Selūsalema.
