Ezra 3
1 By the time of the seventh month, the Israelites had settled in their towns, and the people gathered together as one in Jerusalem.
Daytoy ti maikapito a bulan kalpasan ti panagsubli dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti siudadda, idi naguummongda a kas maysa a tao idiay Jerusalem.
2 Then Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and the priests with him, together with Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and his relatives, started to build the altar of the God of Israel in order to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as instructed by the Law of Moses, the man of God.
Nagsagana ni Jesua a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ken dagiti kakabsatna a papadi, ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken dagiti kakabsatna a lalaki ket binangonda ti altar ti Dios ti Israel tapno maidatagda dagiti daton a mapuoran kas naibilin iti linteg ni Moises a tao ti Dios.
3 Even though they were afraid of the local people, they set up the altar on its original foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both morning and evening burnt offerings.
Kalpasanna, impasdekda ti altar iti rabaw ti pakaisaadanna, nga adda panagbuteng kadakuada gapu kadagiti tattao iti dayta a lugar. Nangidatonda kenni Yahweh kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti parbangon ken iti rabii.
4 They observed the Festival of Shelters as the Law required, sacrificing the specified number of burnt offerings each day.
Rinambakanda pay ti Fiesta dagiti Abong-abong a kas iti naisurat, ken nangidatonda iti daton a mapuoran iti inaldaw-aldaw a maiyannurot iti naipaulog a bilin, ti naituding a pagrebbengan iti tunggal aldaw.
5 After that also presented the daily burnt offerings and the new moon offerings, as well as those for all the yearly festivals of the lord and for those who brought voluntary offerings to the Lord.
Kasta met nga adda dagiti daton a mapuoran a maidaton iti inaldaw ken binulan, ken dagiti sagsagut para kadagiti amin a naituding a fiesta ni Yahweh, agraman dagiti amin a sagut a nagtaud iti bukod a nakem.
6 So from the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to present burnt offerings to the Lord, even though the foundation of the Lord's Temple had not been laid.
Nangrugida a nagidaton kenni Yahweh kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti umuna nga aldaw ti maikapito a bulan, uray no saanpay a naibangon ti templo.
7 They paid masons and carpenters, and provided food and drink and olive oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre for them to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as King Cyrus of Persia had authorized.
Isu a nangtedda iti pirak kadagiti kantero ken kadagiti karpintero; taraon, mainom, ken lana kadagiti tattao ti Sidon ken Tiro tapno mangipatulodda kadagiti kayo ti sedro manipud Lebanon a maipan iti Joppe babaen iti baybay, kas iti impalubos kadakuada ni Cyrus nga ari ti Persia.
8 In the second month of the second year after arriving at God's Temple in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and those with them—the priests, the Levites, and everyone who had come back to Jerusalem from captivity—began the work. They put Levites twenty years and older to in charge of building the Lord's Temple.
Ket iti maikadua a bulan ti maikadua a tawen kalpasan ti isasangpetda iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, da Zerubbabel, Jesua nga anak ni Josadac, dagiti dadduma a papadi, dagiti Levita, ken dagiti nagsubli idiay Jerusalem manipud iti pannakaibalud ti nangirugi ti trabaho. Dinutokanda dagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato a mangimaton iti panagtrabaho iti balay ni Yahweh.
9 Jeshua and his sons and relatives, Kadmiel and his sons, the descendants of Yehudah, the sons of Henadad and their sons and relatives, all of them Levites, supervised those working on God's Temple.
Insaad ni Jesua dagiti annak ken kakabsatna a lallaki, ni Kadmiel ken dagiti annakna a lallaki, ken dagiti kaputotan ni Juda tapno mangimaton kadagiti tattao a mangar-aramid ti trabaho iti balay ti Dios. Kaduada dagiti kaputotan ni Henadad, kasta met dagiti padada a Levita.
10 When the builders laid the foundation of the Lord's Temple, the priests dressed in their special clothes and carrying trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) carrying cymbals, all took their places to praise the Lord, following the instructions given by King David of Israel.
Insaad dagiti mangibangbangon ti pundasion para iti templo ni Yahweh. Daytoy ti gapuna a nagtakder dagiti papadi a sikakawes kadagiti pagan-anayda nga addaan kadagiti trumpeta, ken dagiti Levita, nga annak a lallaki ni Asaf, tapno idaydayawda ni Yahweh babaen kadagiti piangpiang a kas iti imbilin ti ima ni David nga ari ti Israel.
11 They sang with praise and thanks to the Lord: “God is good; for his trustworthy love for Israel lasts forever.” Then everyone there gave a tremendous shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the Lord's Temple had been laid.
Nagkantada nga addaan iti panangdayaw ken panagyaman kenni Yahweh, “Naimbag isuna! Agnanayon ti kinapudnona iti tulagna iti Israel.” Nagriaw amin dagiti tattao nga uray da la impukkaw ti panagrag-oda iti panagdaydayaw kenni Yahweh gapu ta naisaaden ti pundasion ti templo.
12 But many of the older priests, Levites, and family leaders who remembered the first Temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this Temple, though many others shouted for joy.
Ngem adu kadagiti papadi, kadagiti Levita, kadagiti panguloen dagiti pamilia ken kadagiti lallakay a nakakita idi iti immuna a balay, ti nagsangit iti napigsa idi nakitada a naisaaden ti pundasion daytoy a balay. Ngem adu dagiti nagpukkaw gapu iti rag-o ken ragsak ken dir-i.
13 However, nobody could tell the shouts of joy from the cries of weeping, because everyone was making so much noise—so much so it could be heard a long way away.
Kas nagbanaganna, saan a mailasin dagiti tattao ti riaw ti rag-o ken ragsak manipud iti panagsasangit dagiti tattao, gapu ta agsangsangit dagiti tattao iti kasta unay a kinarag-o, ken mangngeg ti riawda manipud iti adayo.
