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.
Iamque venerat mensis septimus, et erant filii Israel in civitatibus suis: congregatus est ergo populus quasi vir unus in Ierusalem.
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,
Et surrexit Iosue filius Iosedec, et fratres eius sacerdotes, et Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et fratres eius, et aedificaverunt altare Dei Israel ut offerrent in eo holocaustomata, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi viri Dei:
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.
Collocaverunt autem altare Dei super bases suas deterrentibus eos per circuitum populis terrarum, et obtulerunt super illud holocaustum Domino mane et vespere:
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,
Feceruntque sollemnitatem tabernaculorum, sicut scriptum est, et holocaustum diebus singulis per ordinem secundum praeceptum opus diei in die suo.
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.
Et post haec holocaustum iuge, tam in Calendis quam in universis sollemnitatibus Domini, quae erant consecratae, et in omnibus in quibus ultro offerebatur munus Domino.
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.
A primo die mensis septimi coeperunt offerre holocaustum Domino: porro templum Dei nondum fundatum erat.
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.
Dederunt autem pecunias latomis et caementariis: cibum quoque, et potum, et oleum Sidoniis, Tyriisque ut deferrent ligna cedrina de Libano ad mare Ioppes, iuxta quod praeceperat Cyrus rex Persarum eis.
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.
Anno autem secundo adventus eorum ad templum Dei in Ierusalem mense secundo, coeperunt Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et Iosue filius Iosedec, et reliqui de fratribus eorum Sacerdotes, et Levitae, et omnes qui venerant de captivitate in Ierusalem, et constituerunt Levitas a viginti annis et supra, ut urgerent opus Domini.
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.
Stetitque Iosue et filii eius, et fratres eius, Cedmihel, et filii eius, et filii Iuda, quasi vir unus, ut instarent super eos qui faciebant opus in templo Dei: filii Henadad, et filii eorum, et fratres eorum Levitae.
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.
Fundato igitur a caementariis templo Domini, steterunt sacerdotes in ornatu suo cum tubis: et Levitae filii Asaph in cymbalis, ut laudarent Deum per manus David regis Israel.
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.
Et concinebant in hymnis, et confessione Domino: Quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius super Israel. Omnis quoque populus vociferabatur clamore magno in laudando Dominum, eo quod fundatum esset templum Domini.
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,
plurimi etiam de Sacerdotibus et Levitis, et principes patrum, et seniores, qui viderant templum prius cum fundatum esset, et hoc templum in oculis eorum, flebant voce magna: et multi vociferantes in laetitia, elevabant vocem.
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.
Nec poterat quisquam agnoscere vocem clamoris laetantium, et vocem fletus populi: commixtim enim populus vociferabatur clamore magno, et vox audiebatur procul.
