Ezra 5
1 Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel.
A LAILA o na kaula, o Hagai ke kaula, a o Zokaria ke keiki a Ido, wanana aku la laua i na Iudaio ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, ma ka inoa o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia lakou.
2 Then rose up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
Ia manawa ku ae la o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a me Iesua, ke keiki a Iozadaka, a hoomaka aku e hana i ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a me laua pu na kaula o ke Akua e kokua ana ia laua.
3 And at the same time came to them Thathanai, who was governor beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and their counsellors: and said thus to them: Who hath given you counsel to build this house, and to repair the walls thereof?
A ia wa hoi, hele mai io lakou la o Tatenai, ke kiaaina o keia aoao o ka muliwai, a me Setare-bozenai, a me ko laua mau hoalawehana, a olelo mai ia lakou peneia, Nawni oukou i kauoha mai e hana i keia hale, a e hoopaa hoi i keia papohaku.
4 In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building.
Alaila ninau aku hoi makou ia lakou peneia, Owai ka inoa o na kanaka, nana e hana keia hale?
5 But the eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation.
Aka, o ka maka o ko lakou Akua, aia no ia maluna o ka poe lunakahiko o na Iudaio, aole lakou i hiki ke hooki aku ia lakou, a hiki ia mea io Dariu la; alaila hoouna aku la lakou i ka palapala no keia mea.
6 The copy of the letter that Thathanai governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors the Arphasachites, who dwelt beyond the river, sent to Darius the king.
Eia ka palapala a Tatenai, ke kiaaina o keia aoao o ka muliwai, a o Setare-bozenai, a me kona poe hoalawehana, ka poe Aparesaka, ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, i hoouna aku ai ia Dariu ke alii:
7 The letter which they sent him, was written thus: To Darius the king all peace.
Hoouna aku la lakou i ka palapala ia ia, peneia i kakauia'i maloko, Na Dariu ke alii, e aloha nui ia oia.
8 Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently, and advanceth in their hands.
E hoikeia i ke alii, i hele ai makou i ka aina o ka Iuda i ka hale o ke Akua nui, ka mea i hanaia i ka pohaku i kalaiia a me ka laau i hoonohoia maloko o na papohaku, a ke hana wikiwiki ia keia hana, a e ko ana ia iloko o ko lakou lima.
9 And we asked those ancients, and said to them thus: Who hath given you authority to build this house, and to repair these walls?
Alaila ninau aku la makou i kela poe lunakahiko, a i aku la ia lakou, Nawai oukou i kauoha mai e hana i keia hale, a e hoopaa hoi i keia mau papohaku?
10 We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them.
Ninau aku hoi makou i ko lakou inoa, i hoike aku ai makou ia oe, a i kakau iho ai hoi i ka inoa o na kanaka, ka poe luna hoi o lakou.
11 And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up.
A hai mai lakou i ka olelo ia makou peneia, i mai la, He poe kauwa makou na ke Akua o ka lani, a o ka honua, a ke hana nei i ka hale, i ka mea i hanaia i na makahiki mamua loa aku, a kekahi alii nui o ka Iseraela i hana, a hoopaa aku ia.
12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon.
Aka, mahope o ka hoonaukiuki ana o ko makou poe makua i ke Akua o ka lani, haawi oia ia lakou iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, no Kaledea, nana i wawahi keia hale, a lawe pio aku la i na kanaka i Babulona.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth a decree, that this house of God should be built.
Aka, i ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii o Babulona, kauoha aku la o Kuro ke alii, e hana i ka hale o ke Akua.
14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor,
A o na kiaha gula, a me ke kala o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae marloko mai o ka luakini ma Ierusalema, a hali aku ia mau mea i ka luakini ma Babulona, oia mau mea ka Kuro ke alii i lawe ni mailoko mai o ka luakini ma Babulona, a ua haawiia oia mau mea i kekahi, o Sesehazara kona inoa, ka mea ana i hoonoho ai i kiaaina;
15 And said to him: Take these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.
I aku la ia ia, E lawe i keia mau kiaha, e hele e hali aku ia mau mea i ka luakini ma Ierusalema, a e hanaia ka hale o ke Akua ma kona wahi.
16 Then came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet finished.
Alaila hele mai o ua Sesebazara la, a hoouoho i ke kahua o ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema: a mai ia manawa a keia wa ka hana ana, aole nae i paa.
17 Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king’s library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
Ano hoi, ina he mea pono i ke alii, e imihia ma ka hale waihonawaiwai o ke alii ma Babulona, ina he oiaio, ua kauohaia e Kuro e hana i keia hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a e hoouna mai ke alii i kona manao no keia mea.
