Ezra 3
1 And now the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities: and the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Ary nony tonga ny volana fahafito, rehefa tafapetraka teny amin’ ny tanànany avy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia nivory tany Jerosalema toy ny olona iray izy.
2 And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the mall of God.
Dia nitsangana Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, sy ny mpisorona rahalahiny ary Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy ny rahalahiny ka nanorina ny alitaran’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hanaterana fanatitra dorana eo amboniny, araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.
3 And they set the altar of God upon its bases, while the people of the lands round about put them in fear, and they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord morning and evening.
Dia naoriny teo amin’ ilay efa niorenany ihany ny alitara, satria natahotra ny tompon-tany izy, ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana teo amboniny ho an’ i Jehovah izy, dia ny fanatitra dorana marain-tsy hariva.
4 And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the holocaust every day orderly according to the commandment, the duty of the day in its day.
Ary nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana ao amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo koa izy, araka ny voasoratra, sy ny amin’ ny fanatitra dorana isan’ andro araka ny isany avy, tahaka ny fanao, araka izay voatendry hatao isan’ andro avy.
5 And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a free-will offering was made to the Lord.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva izy sy ilay fanao amin’ ny voaloham-bolana sy amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana nohamasinina rehetra izay voatendrin’ i Jehovah ary ny avy amin’ izay rehetra nanatitra fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ i Jehovah.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer holocausts to the Lord: but the temple of God was not yet founded.
Tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahafito no niantomboka nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah izy. Nefa tsy mbola natao ny fanorenan’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
7 And they gave money to hewers of stones and to masons: and meat and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppe, according to the orders which Cyrus king of the Persians had given them.
Ary nomeny vola ny mpipai-bato sy ny mpandrafitra, ary ny any Tyro sy ny any Sidona dia nomeny zavatra hohanina sy hosotroina sy diloilo mba hitondrany hazo sedera avy any Libanona hatramin’ ny ranomasina any Jopa, araka ny teny efa azony tamin’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia.
8 And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord.
Ary tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny taona faharoa taorian’ ny nahatongavany tany amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema dia niantomboka Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mbamin’ ny rahalahiny sisa, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary izay rehetra tonga tany Jerosalema avy tany amin’ ny fahababoana, ka nanendry ny Levita izay hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy ho tonian’ ny asa amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
9 Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites.
Dia niara-nitsangana Jesoa sy ny zanany ary ny rahalahiny, ary Kadmiela sy ny zanany, zanak’ i Joda, ho tonian’ ny mpiasa tamin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary ny zanak’ i Henadada koa mbamin’ ny zanany sy ny Levita rahalahiny.
10 And when the masons laid the foundations of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their ornaments with trumpets: and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise God by the hands of David king of Israel.
Ary rehefa naorin’ ny mpiasa ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, dia nasainy hidera an’ i Jehovah ny mpisorona, sady niakanjo ny akanjony sy nitondra trompetra, ary ny Levita, zanak’ i Asafa, kosa nitondra kipantsona, araka ny nandidian’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
11 And they sung together hymns, and praise to the Lord: because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, praising the Lord, because the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid.
Dia nanao hira nifamalivaly nidera sy nisaotra an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsara Izy, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony amin’ ny Isiraely. Dia nihoby mafy ny olona rehetra, raha nidera an’ i Jehovah, satria vita ny fanorenan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
12 But many of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers and the ancients that had seen the former temple; when they had the foundation of this temple before their eyes, wept with a loud voice: and many shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.
Nefa maro ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia ny antitra izay efa nahita ny trano voalohany, no nitomany mafy dia mafy, nony naorina teo imasony izany trano izany; nefa maro kosa no nanandratra ny feony nihoby sy nifaly;
13 So that one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people: for one with another the people shouted with a loud shout, and the voice was heard afar off.
ka dia tsy fantatry ny olona izay fifaliana na izay fitomaniana noho izany horakoraka be izany, fa nihoby mafy ny olona, ka re lavitra ny horakoraka.
