Ezra 3
1 And when the seuenth moneth was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people assembled themselues as one man vnto Ierusalem.
Mgbe o ruru ọnwa asaa nʼafọ, ndị Izrel nọkwa nʼobodo ha niile, ndị mmadụ zukọtara nʼotu na Jerusalem.
2 Then stoode vp Ieshua rhe sonne of Iozadak, and his brethren the Priests, and Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in ye Lawe of Moses the man of God,
Mgbe ahụ, Jeshua, nwa Jozadak na ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ, na Zerubabel nwa Shealtiel na ndị na-enyere ya aka malitere iwugharị ebe ịchụ aja Chineke Izrel maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ya dịka Mosis onye nke Chineke si nye nʼiwu.
3 And they set the altar vpon his bases (for feare was among them, because of the people of those countreis) therefore they offered burnt offrings thereon vnto the Lord, euen burnt offrings in the morning, and at euen.
Nʼagbanyeghị oke egwu maka ndị niile gbara ha gburugburu, ha gara nʼihu wughachikwa ebe ịchụ aja ahụ na ntọala ya chụọkwa aja nʼelu ya nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ aja nsure ọkụ nke ụtụtụ na nke uhuruchi.
4 They kept also the feast of the Tabernacles, as it is written, and the burnt offring dayly, by nomber according to the custome day by day,
Ha mekwara mmemme ụlọ Ikwu dịka e dere ya nʼiwu Mosis, chụọkwa aja nsure ọkụ dị iche iche nʼụbọchị niile nke mmemme ahụ.
5 And afterwarde the continuall bnrnt offring, both in the newe moneths and in all the feast dayes that were consecrate vnto the Lord, and in all the oblations willingly offered vnto the Lord.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ nke a na-achụ mgbe niile, na nke aja maka ọnwa ọhụrụ, na aja ndị ọzọ maka mmemme ndị ọzọ dị nsọ a kara aka nke Onyenwe anyị. Ha chụkwara aja onyinye nke ha ji nye Onyenwe anyị onyinye afọ ofufu.
6 From the first day of the seuenth moneth began they to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord: but the foundation of the Temple of the Lord was not layed.
Ndị nchụaja bidoro ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị nʼabalị mbụ nke ọnwa nke asaa. Ọ bụ ezie na a tọbeghị ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
7 They gaue money also vnto the masons, and to the workemen, and meat and drinke, and oyle vnto them of Zidon and of Tyrus, to bring them cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea vnto Iapho, according to the graunt that they had of Cyrus King of Persia.
Ha nyere ndị ọrụ na-edo nkume na ndị ọkpọ ǹtu ego, nyekwa ndị Saịdọn na ndị Taịa ihe oriri, na ihe ọṅụṅụ na mmanụ oliv, ka ha nwee ike isite nʼosimiri Lebanọn budata osisi sida ndị ahụ rute Jopa, dịka ikike Sairọs bụ eze Peshịa si kwadoo ya.
8 And in the seconde yeere of their comming vnto the house of God in Ierusalem in the second moneth began Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the Priests and the Leuites, and all they that were come out of the captiuitie vnto Ierusalem, and appointed the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, to set forwarde the worke of the house of the Lord.
Nʼọnwa nke abụọ nke afọ abụọ site mgbe ha bịarutere nʼụlọ Chineke na Jerusalem. Mmadụ niile ahụ lọtara Juda so rụọ ọrụ. Zerubabel nwa Shealtiel, Jeshua nwa Jozadak na ndị fọdụrụ na ụmụnne ha, bụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na ndị niile si na ndọta nʼagha lọta Jerusalem, malitere ịrụ ọrụ ahụ. Ha họpụtara ndị Livayị niile gbara iri afọ abụọ rigoo ka ha lekọta ihe banyere ọrụ ụlọ Onyenwe anyị.
9 And Ieshua stood with his sonnes, and his brethren, and Kadmiel with his sonnes, and the sonnes of Iudah together to set forward ye workemen in the house of God, and the sonnes of Henadad with their sonnes, and their brethren the Leuites.
Jeshua na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, na ụmụnne ya, Kadmiel na ụmụ ya, ndị si nʼikwu Hodavaya, ha na ụmụ Henadad na ụmụ ha, na ụmụnna ha, ha niile bụ ndị Livayị, jikọtara aka na-elekọta ndị na-arụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ahụ.
10 And when the builders layed the foundation of the Temple of the Lord, they appoynted the Priestes in their apparel with trumpets, and the Leuites the sonnes of Asaph with cymbales, to prayse the Lord, after the ordinance of Dauid King of Israel.
Mgbe ndị na-ewu ụlọ tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, ndị nchụaja ahụ niile yii uwe ha jide opi nʼaka. Otu a kwa ndị Livayị, ụmụ ndị ikom Asaf jikwa ogene ha na-eto Onyenwe anyị dịka usoro iwu Devid, eze Izrel nyere ha si dị.
11 Thus they sang when they gaue prayse, and when they gaue thankes vnto the Lord, For he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shoute, when they praysed the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was layed.
Ha ji abụ otuto na ekele bụkuo Onyenwe anyị abụ sị: “Ọ dị mma, ịhụnanya ya nʼebe Izrel nọ na-adị ruo ebighị ebi.” Mmadụ niile jiri oke olu too Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ha tọrọ.
12 Many also of the Priests and the Leuites and the chiefe of the fathers, ancient men which had seene the first house, (when the foundation of this house was layed before their eyes) wept with a loud voyce, and many shouted aloud for ioy,
Ma ụfọdụ ndị merela agadi nʼetiti ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị, na ndị ndu nke ikwu dị iche iche, bụ ndị chetara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ Solomọn wuru, kwara akwa hie nne, mgbe ndị ọzọ nọ na-eti mkpu ọṅụ.
13 So that the people coulde not discerne the sound of the shoute for ioy, from the noyse of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loude crie, and the noyse was heard farre off.
Ya mere, e sitere nʼebe dị nnọọ anya nụ ụzụ ọṅụ na ụda akwa ndị mmadụ ahụ. Ma o nweghị onye nwere ike ịkọwata nke bụ mkpu akwa maọbụ mkpu ọṅụ, nʼihi na ụzụ ahụ dị ukwuu.
