< Ezra 5 >

1 Then Haggai a Prophet and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo a Prophet prophecied vnto the Iewes that were in Iudah, and Ierusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, euen vnto them.
तब हाग्गै अगमवक्ता र इद्दोका छोरा जकरिया अगमवक्ताले इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँमा यहूदा र यरूशलेमका यहूदीहरूलाई अगमवाणी बोले ।
2 Then Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak arose, and began to builde the house of God at Ierusalem, and with them were the Prophetes of God, which helped them.
शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल र योसादाकका छोरा येशूअ उठे, र आफ्‍ना सहयोगी अगमवक्ताहरूका साथमा मिलेर यरूशलेममा परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिर बनाउन सुरु गरे ।
3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, which was captaine beyonde the Riuer, and Shether-boznai and their companions, and sayd thus vnto them, Who hath giuen you commandement to buylde this house, and to lay the foundations of these walles?
तब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू आए र तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “यो मन्दिरको निर्माण गर्ने र पर्खालहरू सम्पन्‍न गर्ने आज्ञा तिमीहरूलाई कसले दियो?”
4 Then sayde we vnto them after this maner, What are the names of the men that buylde this buylding?
तिनीहरूले यसो पनि भने, “यो भवनलाई बनाउने मानिसका नाउँहरू के-के हुन्?”
5 But the eye of their God was vpon the Elders of the Iewes, that they coulde not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they answered by letters thereunto.
तर परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टि यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूमाथि थियो, र तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई रोक्‍न सकेनन् । राजाकहाँ एउटा चिट्ठी पठाउने र त्यसको जवाफमा एउटा आदेश आउने काम नहुन्‍जेलसम्म तिनीहरूलाई कसैले रोकेन ।
6 The copie of the letter, that Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shether-boznai and his companions, Apharsechaie, (which were beyond the Riuer) sent vnto King Darius.
यो यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका राज्यपाल तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनीहरूका सहयोगीहरूले दारा राजालाई पठाएका चिट्ठीको प्रतिलिपी यही हो ।
7 They sent a letter vnto him, wherein it was written thus, VNTO DARIVS the king, all peace.
तिनीहरूले लेखेर दारा राजालाई पठाएको विवरण यही हो, “हजुरमा अपार शान्ति रहोस् ।
8 Be it knowen vnto the King, that we went into the prouince of Iudea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and beames are layde in the walles, and this worke is wrought speedily, and prospereth in their hands.
हामी यहूदामा महान् परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरमा गयौं भन्‍ने कुरा हजुरलाई जाहेर होस् । ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरूले यो निर्माण हुँदैछ र पर्खालमा काठहरू राखिंदैछन् । यो काम निकै राम्रोसँग गरिएको छ, र तिनीहरूका हातमा राम्ररी अगाडि बढिरहेको छ ।
9 Then asked we those Elders, and sayd vnto them thus, Who hath giuen you commandement to buylde this house, and to lay the foundation of these walles?
हामीले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई सोध्‍यौं, 'यो मन्दिर र यी पर्खालहरू बनाउन तिमीहरूलाई कसले आदेश दियो?'
10 We asked their names also, that we might certifie thee, and that we might write the names of the men that were their rulers.
कस-कसले तिनीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरेका रहेछन् भनी हजुरलाई थाहा होस् भनेर हामीले तिनीहरूका नाउँ पनि सोध्‍यौं ।
11 But they answered vs thus, and sayd, We are the seruants of the God of heauen and earth, and buylde the house that was buylt of olde and many yeeres ago, which a great King of Israel builded, and founded it.
तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए र भने, 'हामी स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका परमेश्‍वरका सेवकहरू हौं, र हामीले यस मन्दिरलाई पुनर्निर्माण गरिरहेका छौं जसलाई धेरै वर्ष पहिले इस्राएलका महान् राजाले निर्माण गरेका र पुरा गरेका थिए ।
12 But after that our fathers had prouoked the God of heauen vnto wrath, he gaue them ouer into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel the Caldean, and he destroyed this house, and caryed the people away captiue vnto Babel.
तापनि जब हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्‍वरलाई रिस उठाए, तब उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बेबिलोनका कल्दी राजा नबूकदनेसरको हातमा सुम्‍पनुभयो जसले यस मन्दिरलाई नष्‍ट पारे र मानिसहरूलाई बेबिलोनमा कैदमा लगे ।
13 But in the first yere of Cyrus King of Babel, King Cyrus made a decree to buylde this house of God.
तापनि कोरेस बेबिलोनका राजा बन्‍नुभएको पहिलो वर्षमा कोरेसले परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिर पुनर्निर्माण गर्ने आदेश जारी गर्नुभयो ।
14 And the vessels of golde and siluer of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, that was in Ierusalem, and brought them into the Temple of Babel, those did Cyrus the king take out of the Temple of Babel, and they gaue them vnto one Sheshbazzar by his name, whome he had made captaine.
नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट बेबिलोनको मन्दिरमा लगेका परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरका सुन र चाँदीका वस्तुहरू पनि राजा कोरेसले फिर्ता गरिदिए । आफूले गभर्नर बनाएका शेशबस्सरलाई उहाँले यी थोकहरू दिनुभयो ।
15 And he sayde vnto him, Take these vessels and goe thy way, and put them in the Temple that is in Ierusalem, and let the house of God be buylt in his place.
राजाले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यी थोकहरू लैजाऊ । जाऊ र ति यरूशलेमको मन्दिरमा राख । त्यहाँ परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिर पुनर्निमाण होस् ।”
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar and layde the foundation of the house of God, which is in Ierusalem, and since that time euen vntill nowe, hath it bene in buylding, yet is it not finished.
तब यिनै शेशबस्सर आए र यरूशलेममा परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरको जग बसाले । अनि अहिले यो निर्माण हुँदैछ, तर अझै सकिएको छैन ।'
17 Nowe therefore if it please the King, let there be searche made in the house of the Kings treasures, which is there in Babel, whether a decree hath bene made by King Cyrus, to build this house of God in Ierusalem, and let the King send his minde concerning this.
अब राजाको हजुरीमा असल लागेमा, राजा कोरेसले यरूशलेममा परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिर बनाउन आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो कि थिएन भनी बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा अनुसन्‍धान होस् । त्‍यसपछि राजाबाट हामीलाई आफ्नो निर्णय पठाउने कष्‍ट होस् ।”
