< Ezra 3 >

1 And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.
Ie tsatoke ty volam-paha-fito naho fa an-drova’ iareo añe o ana’ Israeleo, le hene nifanontoñe hoe ondaty raike e Ierosa­laime ao.
2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer up burnt-offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
Nitroatse amy zao t’Iesoà ana’ Iotsadake naho o rahalahi’e mpisoroñeo naho i Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele naho o rahalahi’eo vaho nitsene ty kitrelin’ Añahare hañengàñe soroñe ty amy sinokitse amy Hà’ i Mose ‘ndatin’ Añaharey.
3 And they set the altar on its base; for fear was upon them because of the people of the countries; and they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, the morning and evening burnt-offerings.
Natobò’ iereo amo tombo’eo i kitreliy ie nihembañ’ am’ondati’ o fifeheañeo; le nañenga soroñe ama’e amy Iehovà, soroñe maraiñe naho hariva.
4 And they held the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and [offered] daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
Le nambena’ iareo i sabadida-kibohotsey, ty amy pinatetsey naho nañenga soroñe boak’ andro ty amy ia’e nafetsey, ty amy fañè’ey, songa ty amy lili’ i andro’ey;
5 and afterwards the continual burnt-offering, and those of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a voluntary offering to Jehovah.
tovo izay o soroñe nainai’eo naho o soroñe am-pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantaña’ Iehovà naho navaheñeo, vaho songa nañenga an-tsatrin’ arofo am’ Iehovà ze nazoto.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not [yet] laid.
Boak’ amy andro valoha’ i volam-pahafitoiy ty namotora’ iareo nañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà; fe mboe tsy nioreñe ty mananta’ i anjomba’ Iehovày.
7 And they gave money to the masons and to the carpenters; and meat and drink and oil to the Zidonians and to the Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
Tinolo iareo drala ka o mpihali-vatoo naho o mpandranjio; naho mahakama naho rano naho menak’ amo nte-Tsioneo vaho amo nte-Tsoreo, hañendesañe hatae boake Lebanone mb’ andriake mb’e Iopà añe, amy tolotse niazo’ iareo amy Korese, mpanjaka’ i Parasey.
8 And in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of Jehovah.
Ie amy taom-paha-roe nivotraha’ iareo añ’ anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey; amy volam-paharoe’ey ty niorota’ i Zerobabele ana’ i Sealtiele naho Iesoa ana’ Iotsadake naho o sehangan-droahalahi’e mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy boak’ am-pandrohizañe añe nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eoo, ie nanendre o nte-Levio mifototse ami’ty roapolo taoñe mañambone, ty hamototse ty fitoloñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
9 And Jeshua stood up, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one [man], to superintend the workmen in the house of God; [also] the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.
Niharo niongak’ amy zao t’Iesoa naho o ana’eo naho o rahalahi’eo naho i Kadmiele naho o ana’eo vaho o ana’ Iehodào, hisary o mpitoloñe añ’ anjomban’ Añahareo; teo ka o ana’ i Kenadadeo naho o ana’iareoo vaho o rahalahi’e nte-Levio.
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel, with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah according to the directions of David king of Israel.
Aa ie naore’ o mpandranjio o mananta’ i anjomba’ Iehovàio, le nampijohañeñe eo an-tsaro’e reketse trompetra o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levy ana’ i Asafeo am-pikorintsañe, hisabo am’ Iehovà ty amy fanoroa’ i Davide mpanjaka’ Israeley.
11 And they sang alternately together in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout to the praise of Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.
Le nitakasy iereo, nandrenge naho nañandriañe Iehovà: ami’ty hoe: Ie ro Soa, nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’e am’Israele. Le nandia-taroba am-pàzake ondaty iabio, nandrenge Iehovà ami’ty fañoreñañe o manatan’ anjomba’ Iehovào.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief fathers, the ancient men that had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice, [when] the foundation of this house was laid in their sight; and many shouted aloud for joy.
Fe nangoihoy ty rovetse o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio vaho o talèn’ anjomban-droaeo, o androanavy nahaisake i anjomba valoha’eio, ie nampijadoñeñe añatrefam-pihaino’ iareo eo o mananta’ ty anjomba toio, fe maro ka ty nipazapazak’ an-kaehake;
13 And the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a great shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
aa le tsy nahatsikara’ ondatio ty famatsiña’ i fipazapazam-pirebehañey amy fangololoiha’ ondatioy; fa pinoña’ ondatio ty fipazake kanao jinanjiñe tsietoitane añe i hozakozakey.
