Ezra 7
1 After all this, during the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra arrived from Babylon. He was the son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
Kum phabep jouvin Persia lengpa Artaxerxes vaihom laijin Ezra kiti khat ana um'in ahi. Ezra chu apa Seraiah ahin, Seraiah pa Hilkiah ahin,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
Hilkiah chu Shallum chapa ahin, Shallum chu Zadok chapa ahin, Zadok chu Ahitub chapa ahin,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
Ahitup chu Amariah chapa ahin, Amariah chu Azariah chapa ahin, Azariah chu Meraioth chapa ahin,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
Meraioth chu Zerahiah chapa ahin, Zerahiah chu Uzzi chapa ahin, Uzzi chu Bukki chapa ahin,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the high priest.
Bukki chu Abishua chapa ahin, Abishua chu Phinehas chapa ahin, Phinehas chu Eleazar chapa ahin, chule Eleazar chu thempu chungnung Aaron chapa ahi.
6 This Ezra arrived from Babylon, and was a scribe who was an expert in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given to Israel. The king had granted Ezra everything he'd asked for, because the Lord his God was with him.
Hiche Ezra kitipa hi Babylon gamma konna hungtou ahin, amahi masang laiya Pakai Israel Pathen in Mose anapehsa daanthu chu kihilla themtah ahi, amahi Pakai a Pathen in akithopia akaile jeh'in ipi hijongleh aman angeh chan chu lengpan aphalpeh peh jenga ahi.
7 In the seventh year of King Artaxerxes left for Jerusalem, accompanied by some of the people of Israel, and some of the priests and Levites, singers and gatekeepers, and Temple servants.
Artaxerxes lengpa vaihom kum sagi lhin kum in, Israel chate phabep le thempuho phabep jong, Leviho jong, lathem holeh kelkot ngah a pang miho jong, chule houin lhacha a pangho jong Jerusalem khopia ahung kitoltou cheh kit uvin ahi.
8 Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of King Artaxerxes' reign.
Ezra chu Persia lengpa Artarxerxes leng chan kal kum sagi lhin kum lha nga nan, Jerusalem khopi ahung lhungtan ahi.
9 He had started the journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, his gracious God going with him.
Aman kumthah ni masa niahi Babylon adalhah ahin, lha nga lhin nin Jerusalem ahung lhungtan ahi, ajeh chu Pathen mikhotona khut chun apuijin ahi.
10 For Ezra had committed himself to gaining insights from the Law of the Lord, wanting to practice it and to teach in Israel its rules and how to live.
Ezra hin ahinkho lhumkeiya Pakai daanthu chu asim in, amangchan chuleh Israel mipiho chun hiche daan thu hole chonchan thupeh ho jouse chu phatah a anit diu hi atup jing le ahil jing in ahi.
11 This is a copy of the letter King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest and scribe, who had studied the Lord's commandments and regulations given to Israel:
Artaxerxes lengpan noiya lekha thot hi thempu lekhathem Pakaiyin Israelte anapeh daan thuho hoitah a hetna Ezra chu anapen ahi.
12 “Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
Leng jouse lengpa Artaxerxes kitipa keiman Pathen daanthu hethem le lekha thempa Ezra henga kahin seijin kahin lemuve: -
13 I hereby issue this decree: Any of the people of Israel or their priests or Levites in my kingdom who voluntarily decide to go to Jerusalem with you may do so.
Kalenggam sung’a um Israel mipite leh thempuho chule Levite ho koi hijongleu chun Jerusalem langa nakile kit thei diuva kaphal peh nahi tauve.
14 You are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to investigate the situation in Judah and Jerusalem as it relates to the Law of your God, which you carry with you.
Keimaleh ka thumop the mi sagi hon nakhut uva nachoiju Pathen daanthu dungjuija nanit soh u hinam ti kholchil dia Judah gamle Jerusalem sung kasol nahiuve.
15 We also instruct you to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have voluntarily donated to the God of Israel, whose lives in Jerusalem,
Keihon nanghohi na Sana ule na dangka u jong nakipoh thei diuvin thaneina kapeuve hiche Jerusalem’a cheng Israel Pathen dia kiphal tah a kapedoh u ahiyenge.
16 together with all the silver and gold you may receive from the province of Babylon, as well as the voluntary donations of the people and priests to the Temple of their God in Jerusalem.
Chujongle nanghon Babylon gamma konna nadon doh’u sana le dangka chule Israel mipite leh thempuhon Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin na dinga atodoh hou puma nakipoh doh ahi.
17 You are to use this money first to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as necessary, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and present them on the altar at the Temple of your God in Jerusalem.
Hichea kidongdoh ho chengsehi, nanghon bongchal, kelngoichal, kelngoi chuleh hange mim chohna namanchah diu hichengse chu Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin maicham’a nato doh diu ahi.
18 Then you and those with you may decide to use the rest of the silver and gold in whatever way you think best, in accordance with the will of your God.
Hiche sana dangka ho naman val houchu nangho leh na mite chengin, na Pathenun adeilam tah uva chu namancha theiju ahi.
19 But the items you have been given for the service of the Temple of your God must be all delivered to the God of Jerusalem.
Ahin khonho vang chu na Pathen henga Houin’a manchah dingin Jerusalem a Pathen kommah hin pelut soh keijun tia kanganse nahiuve.
20 If there is anything else required for the Temple of your God that you have to provide, you may charge it to the royal treasury.
Nanghon na Pathenu Houin na ding ahilouleh chutobang thildanga manchah dinga nangaichat u aumkhah tah jongleh leng inpi sumkholna a kon’in kilah jengun.
21 I, King Artaxerxes, decree that all the treasurers west of the Euphrates should provide whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require from you, and it must be provided in full,
Keima Artaxerxes lengpan Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaija sum chingho komma jong hiche thupeh ho kathotnin ahi. Nanghon thempu leh mihilla pang Ezra hin nakom uva angaichat jatjat napeh jengdiu ahi.
22 up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred cors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of olive oil, and unrestricted amounts of salt.
Nanghon amachu dangka pound sang sagi le ja nga changei, suhlou chang atena dim ja nga chuleh lengpi twi gallon ja ngai le som nga chujongleh olive thao gallon ja nga le som nga napehdiu chuleh chi adei jatjat jong napeh jengdiu ahi.
23 Make sure you provide in full whatever the God of heaven requires for his Temple, for why should his anger be brought down on the king and his sons?
Van Pathen in a Houin dinga angaichat ibola eihon lengpale achate chunga Pathen lunghan na ikoulhah diuham?
24 Also be aware that all of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Temple servants, or other workers of this Temple are exempt from paying any tax, tribute, or fees, and you are not authorized to charge them.
Hiche to kimat a keiman kathupeh nom kit khat chu ahile, thempu, Levi, Lasa apang ho, Kelkot ngah ho, Houinna lhacha a pang ho chuleh Pathen Houin a natong dangho chu kai jatchom chomho apeh loudiu ahi.
25 You, Ezra, are to follow the wisdom of your God which you possess, shall appoint magistrates and judges to provide justice to all the people west of the Euphrates—all those who follow the laws of your God. You are to teach these laws to those who do not.
Chuleh Ezra nangmahi na Pathen in napeh nachihna chu naman chah a Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkai sunga um mipiho chunga vaihom ding Pathen daanthu hethemho thutan vaihom ding a napansah ding ahi.
26 Anyone who does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, will be severely punished, either by death, banishment, seizure of property, or imprisonment.”
Koi hileh Pathen daanthu nitlou leh lengpa daanthu juilou hochu gangtah a athu kitanna, kithat ding, ahilouleh kinodoh ding, ahilou jongleh anei agou kilahpeh ding ahilouleh songkul’a kikhum ding ahi,” ati.
27 Praise the Lord, the God of our forefathers, who put into the king's mind to honor the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem in this way,
Hichun Ezra in jong, “Ipu ipateo Pathen chu thangvah in umhen ajeh chu aman lengpa amangchan Jerusalem’a Pakai houin asemhoi tan ahi!
28 and who has shown me such kindness by honoring me before the king, his counselors, and all his high officials. Because the Lord my God was with me, I was encouraged and called together the leaders of Israel to return to Jerusalem with me.
Amachu thangvah in umhen ajeh chu alungsetna tanglou vin eimusah in, lengpa leh amilen amilal ho masanga eidom sangin hijeh chun keima tilkhouvin kaumin chuleh ka Pathen leh ka Pakai khotona khutchu kachunga aum jingin ahi. Hiti chun keiman Israel mite lamkai hochu kakou khommin Jerusalem lang’ah kakile taovin ahi.” ati.
