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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai hono fitu ʻoe māhina, pea nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻe he kakai ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko e tangata pe taha.
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,
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻonau langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.
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.
Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga; he naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi.
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,
Naʻa nau fai ʻae kātoanga foki ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea naʻe ʻatu lau pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu; ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻo taau mo e ngāue ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē;
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.
Pea naʻa nau toki ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu fai maʻu pe, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kotofa kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe fakatapui, pea meiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
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.
Mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo hono fitu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova. Ka naʻe teʻeki fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova.
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.
Naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga foki ki he kau tufunga maka, pea ki he kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e meʻa kai, mo e inu, mo e lolo, kiate kinautolu ʻo Saitoni, pea kiate kinautolu ʻo Taia, ke fetuku ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni ki he tahi ʻo Sopa, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni meia Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
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.
Pea ko eni, ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, naʻe kamata ʻe Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono toe ʻo honau kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he nofo pōpula ki Selūsalema; ʻonau fakanofo ʻae kau Livai, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo honau motuʻa ʻo fai hake, ke kamata ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha ai ʻa Sesua mo hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo Katimieli mo hono ngaahi foha, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Siuta, ke fakahoko ʻae kau tangata ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Henatati, mo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi kāinga ko e kau Livai.
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.
Pea ʻi he ʻai ʻe he kau langa fale ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova, naʻa nau tuku ke tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi meʻalea, mo e kau Livai ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi ke fakaongolelei ʻa Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻa nau hiva kotoa pē ʻo fai fakalakanga ʻi he fakaongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angalelei, he ʻoku tolonga ʻene angaʻofa ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he kalanga lahi, ʻi heʻenau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
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,
Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai mo e kau tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ko e kau tangata motuʻa, naʻe mamata ki he ʻuluaki fale, ʻi he ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻi honau ʻao, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea kalanga ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fiefia.
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.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ongoʻi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻae kalanga ʻoe fiefia mei he longoaʻa ʻoe tangi ʻae kakai: he naʻe kalanga ʻe he kakai ʻi he kalanga lahi, pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ki he mamaʻo.
