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.
Omwezi ogw’omusanvu bwe gwatuuka, Abayisirayiri ne bava mu bibuga gye baali, ne bakuŋŋaanira e Yerusaalemi nga bali bumu.
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,
Awo Yesuwa mutabani wa Yozadaki ne bakabona banne, ne Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri n’ab’ennyumba ye ne batandika okuzimba ekyoto kya Katonda wa Isirayiri, okuweerangako ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa nga bwe kyawandiikibwa, mu Mateeka ga Musa omusajja wa Katonda.
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.
Newaakubadde nga baalina entiisa ey’abamawanga agaali gabeetoolodde, basooka okuzimba ekyoto ku musingi gwakyo ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, nga bawaayo eby’enkya n’eby’akawungeezi.
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,
Era ng’etteeka bwe liri, ne bakwata embaga ey’ensiisira ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ebya buli lunaku ng’omuwendo ogwetaagibwa buli lunaku bwe gwali.
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.
N’oluvannyuma baawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ebya buli kiseera, omwezi nga gwa kaboneka ne ku buli mbaga zonna ezaatukuzibwa eza Mukama ezaalagirwa, ate n’ekiweebwayo ekya buli muntu eyawaayo eri Mukama ekiweebwayo awatali kuwalirizibwa.
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.
Okuva ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu ne batandika okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, newaakubadde ng’omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama gwali tegunnazimbibwa.
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.
Ne bawa abazimbi n’ababazzi ensimbi, ne bawa n’ab’e Sidoni n’ab’e Tuulo ebyokulya n’ebyokunywa n’amafuta, okuleeta emivule okuva mu Lebanooni okugituusa ku nnyanja e Yopa, ng’ekiragiro kya Kuulo kabaka w’e Buperusi bwe kyali.
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.
Awo mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokubiri nga batuuse awali yeekaalu ya Katonda mu Yerusaalemi, Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ne Yesuwa mutabani wa Yozadaki ne baganda baabwe bakabona n’Abaleevi ne bonna abajja e Yerusaalemi okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse ne batandika omulimu ogw’okuzimba, era ne beerondamu abaali ab’emyaka amakumi abiri egy’obukulu, n’okusingawo, okulabirira omulimu ogw’okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
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.
Awo Yesuwa ne batabani be ne baganda be, ne Kadumyeri ne batabani be, ne bazzukulu ba Yuda, nga bayambibwako ne batabani ba Kenedadi n’Abaleevi bonna ne bavunaanyizibwa okulabirira omulimu ogw’okuddaabiriza ennyumba ya Mukama.
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.
Awo abazimbi bwe baamala okuzimba omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, bakabona nga bambadde ebyambalo byabwe ne bavaayo nga bakutte amakondeere, n’abaleevi, bazzukulu ba Asafu, nga bakutte ebitaasa, ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe okutendereza Mukama, nga Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri bwe yateekateeka.
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.
Ne bayimba ennyimba ez’okwebaza n’okutendereza Mukama nga boogera nti, “Mulungi, n’okwagala kwe eri Isirayiri kubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Abantu bonna ne bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe nga batendereza Mukama, kubanga omusingi gw’ennyumba ya Mukama gwali guzimbiddwa.
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,
Naye bangi ku bakabona n’Abaleevi abakadde, n’Abakulu b’ebika, abaalaba yeekaalu eyasooka, ne bakaaba nnyo ng’amaloboozi gaabwe gawulikika bwe baalaba ng’omusingi gwa yeekaalu empya guzimbiddwa, newaakubadde ng’abalala bangi baasanyuka nnyo nga bwe baleekaana;
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.
nga si kyangu okwawula amaloboozi g’abo abaali bakaaba n’abaali basanyuka, kubanga abantu bonna baawowogana mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, era n’amaloboozi gaabwe ne gawulirwa wala.
