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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai hono fitu ʻoe māhina, pea nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻe he kakai ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko e tangata pe taha.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻonau langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.
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.
Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga; he naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi.
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;
Naʻa nau fai ʻae kātoanga foki ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea naʻe ʻatu lau pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu; ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻo taau mo e ngāue ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē;
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.
Pea naʻa nau toki ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu fai maʻu pe, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kotofa kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe fakatapui, pea meiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
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.
Mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo hono fitu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova. Ka naʻe teʻeki fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova.
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.
Naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga foki ki he kau tufunga maka, pea ki he kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e meʻa kai, mo e inu, mo e lolo, kiate kinautolu ʻo Saitoni, pea kiate kinautolu ʻo Taia, ke fetuku ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni ki he tahi ʻo Sopa, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni meia Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
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.
Pea ko eni, ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, naʻe kamata ʻe Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono toe ʻo honau kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he nofo pōpula ki Selūsalema; ʻonau fakanofo ʻae kau Livai, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo honau motuʻa ʻo fai hake, ke kamata ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha ai ʻa Sesua mo hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo Katimieli mo hono ngaahi foha, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Siuta, ke fakahoko ʻae kau tangata ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Henatati, mo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi kāinga ko e kau Livai.
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.
Pea ʻi he ʻai ʻe he kau langa fale ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova, naʻa nau tuku ke tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi meʻalea, mo e kau Livai ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi ke fakaongolelei ʻa Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻa nau hiva kotoa pē ʻo fai fakalakanga ʻi he fakaongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angalelei, he ʻoku tolonga ʻene angaʻofa ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he kalanga lahi, ʻi heʻenau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
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.
Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai mo e kau tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ko e kau tangata motuʻa, naʻe mamata ki he ʻuluaki fale, ʻi he ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻi honau ʻao, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea kalanga ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fiefia.
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.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ongoʻi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻae kalanga ʻoe fiefia mei he longoaʻa ʻoe tangi ʻae kakai: he naʻe kalanga ʻe he kakai ʻi he kalanga lahi, pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ki he mamaʻo.
