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.
Ɔsram a ɛto so ason mfiase a Israelfo abɔ atenase wɔ wɔn nkurow mu no, nnipa no nyinaa hyiaa sɛ nnipa koro wɔ Yerusalem.
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,
Na Yosadak babarima Yesua ne ne mfɛfo asɔfo ne Sealtiel babarima Serubabel ne nʼabusuafo fii ase siesiee Israel Nyankopɔn afɔremuka no, sɛnea wobetumi abɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so, sɛnea wɔahyɛ wɔ Mose a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no mmara mu no.
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.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na nkurɔfo no suro amannifo a wɔtete hɔ no de, nanso wɔsan sii afɔremuka no wɔ ne dedaw mu hɔ. Ɛhɔ ara na wofii ase bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade. Wɔyɛɛ saa anɔpa ne anwummere biara.
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,
Wodii Asese Afahyɛ no sɛnea wɔakyerɛ wɔ Mose mmara nhoma no mu no, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre, sɛnea afahyɛ da biara de te no.
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.
Ɛno akyi no, wɔbɔɔ daa ɔhyew afɔre no ne afɔre a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ma Ɔsram Foforo Afahyɛ no ne mfe ahorow afahyɛ de maa Awurade. Na nnipa no bɔɔ ɔpɛ pa mu afɔre nso de maa Awurade.
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.
Aka nnaawɔtwe abien na Guankɔbea Afahyɛ no adu so no, asɔfo no fii ase bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade. Wofii eyi nso ase ansa na wɔreto Awurade asɔredan no fapem.
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.
Na wɔbɔɔ adansifo ne nnuadwumfo paa na wɔtɔɔ sida nnua fi Tirofo ne Sidonfo nkyɛn, na wɔde nnuan, nsa ne ngo tuaa wɔn ka. Wɔde nnua no fi Lebanon mmepɔw so guu po ani baa Yopa, a na ɔhene Kores ama ho kwan.
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.
Wofii Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si ase wɔ ɔsram a ɛto so abien mu afe a ɛto so abien fi bere a wokoduu Yerusalem no. Wɔn a wofi asutwa mu bae no nyinaa yɛɛ ho adwumayɛfo a Sealtiel babarima Serubabel, Yosadak babarima Yesua ne ne mfɛfo asɔfo ne Lewifo nyinaa nso ka ho. Lewifo a na wɔadi mfe aduonu ne wɔn a wɔboro saa no na wɔde Awurade asɔredan no asiesie hyɛɛ wɔn nsa.
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.
Yesua ne ne mmabarima ne nʼabusuafo ne Kadmiel ne ne mmabarima ne Hodawia asefo nyinaa na wɔde Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho adwumayɛfo hyɛɛ wɔn nsa sɛ wɔnhwɛ wɔn so. Henadad abusuafo Lewifo na wɔboaa hwɛɛ saa dwumadi yi so.
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.
Bere a adansifo no wiee Awurade asɔredan no fapem no, asɔfo no hyɛɛ wɔn asɔfotade, kɔtenaa wɔn tenabea, hyɛn wɔn ntorobɛnto. Na Asaf asefo Lewifo no bɔɔ wɔn kyɛnkyɛn, de kamfoo Awurade sɛnea na ɔhene Dawid ahyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
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.
Wɔde nkamfo ne aseda too saa dwom yi maa Awurade se: “Oye, Na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa ma Israel afebɔɔ!” Na ɔmanfo no nyinaa teɛɛ mu ahoɔden so, de kamfoo Awurade, efisɛ Awurade asɔredan fapem no, wɔato.
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,
Asɔfo mpanyimfo no bebree, Lewifo ne ntuanofo no kaee asɔredan a edi kan no, sui bere a wohuu asɔredan foforo no fapem a wɔato no. Na afoforo nso teɛteɛɛ mu anigye so.
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.
Anigye nteɛteɛmu ne osu a adi afra no ano yɛɛ den, na nnipa tee wɔ akyirikyiri.
