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.
Bosome a ɛtɔ so nson ahyɛaseɛ a Israelfoɔ abɔ atenaseɛ wɔ wɔn nkuro mu no, nnipa no nyinaa hyiaa sɛ nnipa korɔ 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 nʼafɛfoɔ asɔfoɔ ne Sealtiel babarima Serubabel ne nʼabusuafoɔ hyɛɛ aseɛ siesiee Israel Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so, sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ wɔ Mose a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa 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.
Ɛwom sɛ na nkurɔfoɔ no suro amannifoɔ a wɔtete hɔ no deɛ, nanso wɔsane sii afɔrebukyia no wɔ ne dada mu hɔ. Ɛhɔ ara na wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Wɔyɛɛ saa anɔpa ne anwummerɛ 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,
Wɔdii Asese Afahyɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔakyerɛ wɔ Mose mmara nwoma no mu no, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, sɛdeɛ afahyɛ da biara deɛ teɛ 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.
Afei, wɔbɔɔ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no ne afɔdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ma Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ no ne mfeɛ ahodoɔ afahyɛ de maa Awurade. Na nnipa no bɔɔ ɔpɛ pa mu afɔdeɛ 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 dadu nnanum na Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no aduru so no, asɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Wɔhyɛɛ yei 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 adansifoɔ ne nnua adwumfoɔ paa na wɔtɔɔ ntweneduro nnua firi Tirofoɔ ne Sidonfoɔ nkyɛn, na wɔde nnuane, nsã ne ngo tuaa wɔn ka. Wɔde nnua no firi Lebanon mmepɔ so guu Ɛpo Kɛseɛ ani baa Yopa, a na ɔhene Kores ama ho ɛkwan.
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.
Wɔhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no sie ase wɔ bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu mu wɔ afeɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu firi ɛberɛ a wɔkɔduruu Yerusalem no. Wɔn a wɔfiri asutwa mu baeɛ no nyinaa yɛɛ ho adwumayɛfoɔ a Sealtiel babarima Serubabel, Yosadak babarima Yesua ne ne mfɛfoɔ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ nyinaa nso ka ho. Lewifoɔ a na wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne wɔn a wɔboro saa no na wɔde Awurade asɔredan no nsiesie 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 mmammarima ne nʼabusuafoɔ ne Kadmiel ne ne mmammarima ne Hodawia asefoɔ nyinaa na wɔde Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho adwumayɛfoɔ hyɛɛ wɔn nsa sɛ, wɔnhwɛ wɔn so. Henadad abusuafoɔ Lewifoɔ na wɔboaa wɔn saa dwumadie yi mu.
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.
Ɛberɛ a adansifoɔ no wiee Awurade asɔredan no fapem no, asɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ wɔn asɔfotadeɛ, kɔtenaa wɔn tenaberɛ, hyɛnee wɔn totorobɛnto. Na Asaf asefoɔ Lewifoɔ no bɔɔ wɔn kyankyan de kamfoo Awurade sɛdeɛ 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 nkamfoɔ ne aseda too saa dwom yi maa Awurade sɛ: “Ɔyɛ, Na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa ma Israel afebɔɔ!” Na ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa teaam ahoɔden so, de kamfoo Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, 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,
Asɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ no bebree ne Lewifoɔ ne ntuanofoɔ no kaee asɔredan a ɛdi ɛkan no, wɔsuiɛ ɛberɛ a wɔhunuu asɔredan foforɔ no fapem a wɔato no. Na afoforɔ nso teateaam anigyeɛ 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.
Anigyeɛ nteateamu ne osu a ɛne no adi afra no, ano yɛɛ den, na nnipa tee no akyirikyiri.
