1 Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.

Tete Fia Darius de se, eye wotsa le nyaŋlɔɖigbalẽ xoxo siwo wodzra ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒe la me le Babilonia.

2 And there was founde in a coffer (in the palace that was in the prouince of the Medes) a volume, and therein was it thus written, as a memoriall,

Woke ɖe lãgbalẽgbalẽ aɖe ŋu le Ekbatana ƒe fiasã si le Media nuto la me. Esiae nye nu si woŋlɔ ɖe eme: Ŋkuɖodzinya:

3 IN THE FIRST yeere of King Cyrus, King Cyrus made a decree for the house of God in Ierusalem, Let the house be buylt, euen the place where they offred sacrifices, and let the walles thereof be ioyned together: let the height thereof be three score cubites, and the breadth thereof three score cubites,

Le Fia Sirus ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, fia la de se ku ɖe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ si le Yerusalem ŋuti be: Migbugbɔ gbedoxɔ la tu wòanye teƒe si woasa vɔ le, miɖo eƒe gɔmeɖokpewo anyi. Nekɔ mita blaeve-vɔ-adre eye wòakeke mita blaeve-vɔ-adre.

4 Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.

Woatsɔ kpe gãwo aɖo gɔmeɖokpe lae, eye woaɖoe ɖe wo nɔewo dzi zi etɔ̃, ale be ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia nanye ati sesẽwo. Woatsɔ ga le fia la ƒe gaɖaka me axe fee ɖe dɔ la ta.

5 And also let them render the vessels of the house of God (of golde and siluer, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, which was in Ierusalem, and brought vnto Babel) and let him goe vnto the Temple that is in Ierusalem to his place, and put them in the house of God.

Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, woatrɔ klosalonu kple sikanu siwo nɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe la me, esiwo Nebukadnezar lɔ le gbedoxɔ la me le Yerusalem, yi ɖe Babiloniae la aɖada ɖe wo nɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la me le Yerusalem; woakɔ wo ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me.

6 Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.

Ke azɔ la, wò, Tatenai, mɔmefia si le Frat tɔsisi la godo kple wò, Setar Bozenai kple mi woƒe dɔnunɔla siwo le nuto ma me la, migaka afɔ afi ma o.

7 Suffer ye the worke of this house of God, that the captaine of the Iewes and the Elders of the Iewes may buylde this house of God in his place.

Miɖe asi le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ si tum wole la ƒe nya me. Miɖe mɔ be Yudatɔwo ƒe mɔmefia kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo nagbugbɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe sia atu ɖe teƒe si wònɔ tsã.

8 For I haue giuen a commandement what ye shall doe to the Elders of these Iewes, for the buylding of this house of God, that of the reuenues of the King, which is of the tribute beyonde the Riuer, there be incontinently expenses giuen vnto these men that they cease not.

Gawu la, mele se dem be, esiawo miawɔ na Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu me: Woaxe ame siawo ƒe nugbegblẽwo katã tso fia la ƒe gaɖaka si me wodea nudzɔdzɔwoe le Frat tɔsisi la godo me, ale be dɔa matɔ te o.

9 And that which they shall haue neede of, let it be giuen vnto them day by day, whether it be yong bullockes, or rammes, or lambes for the burnt offrings of the God of heauen, wheate, salt, wine, and oyle, according to the appoyntment of the Priestes that are in Ierusalem, that there bee no fault,

Woatsɔ nyitsui, agbo kple agbovi siwo wohiãna na numevɔsawo na dziƒo Mawu la kpe ɖe wɔ, dze, wain kple ami siwo nunɔla siwo le Yerusalem hiãna gbe sia gbe la ŋu na wo, mada le edzi o.

10 That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.

Ale be woate ŋu asa vɔ siwo adze dziƒo Mawu la ŋu la nɛ, eye woado gbe ɖa ɖe fia la kple via ŋutsuwo ta be woanɔ dedie.

11 And I haue made a decree, that whosoeuer shall alter this sentence, the wood shall be pulled downe from his house, and shall be set vp, and he shalbe hanged thereon, and his house shalbe made a dunghill for this.

Gawu la, mele se dem be ame si atrɔ sedede sia la, woaɖe ati le eƒe xɔ me, eye woatu ati la ɖe tome, aklãe ɖe eŋuti, eye le nu vɔ̃ sia ta la, woagbã eƒe aƒe wòazu aɖukpo.

12 And the God that hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy all Kings and people that put to their hand to alter, and to destroy this house of God, which is in Ierusalem. I Darius haue made a decree, let it be done with speede.

Mawu, ame si na be yeƒe Ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma la, naɖe fia le zi dzi alo dukɔ si akɔ eƒe asi dzi be yeatrɔ sedede sia alo agbã gbedoxɔ sia le Yerusalem. Nye Darius de se sia. Ele be woawɔe kple mo vevi ɖoɖo.

13 Then Tatnai the captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai and their companions, according to that which Darius had sent, so they did speedily.

Le sedede si Fia Darius ɖo ɖa ta la, Tatenai, mɔmefia si le Frat tɔsisi la godo, Setar Bozeni kple wo ŋutimewo wɔ sedede la menyawo dzi kple mo vevi ɖoɖo.

14 So the Elders of the Iewes builded, and they prospered by the prophecying of Haggai the Prophet, and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo, and they buylded and finished it, by the appoyntment of the God of Israel, and by the commandement of Cyrus and Darius, and Artahshashte king of Persia.

Ale Yuda dumegãwo yi xɔa tutu dzi, eye to Nyagblɔɖila Hagai kple Zekaria, Ido ƒe dzidzimevi ƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ me la, nuwo dze edzi nyuie. Le Israel ƒe Mawu kple Sirus, Darius kple Artazerses, Persia fiawo ƒe sededewo nu la, wowu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu.

15 And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.

Wowu enu le dzinu Adar ƒe ŋkeke etɔ̃lia dzi le Fia Darius ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe adelia me.

16 And the children of Israel, the Priestes, and the Leuites, and the residue of the children of the captiuitie kept the dedication of this house of God with ioy,

Tete Israel dukɔ la katã, nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple ame siwo gbɔ tso aboyome la ɖu Mawu ƒe aƒe la ŋuti kɔkɔ ƒe azã la kple aseyetsotso.

17 And offred at the dedication of this house of God an hundreth bullockes, two hundreth rams, foure hundreth lambes, and twelue goates, for the sinne of all Israel, according to the nomber of the tribes of Israel.

Wotsɔ nyitsu alafa ɖeka, agbo alafa eve kple alẽvi alafa ene sa vɔe le gbedoxɔ la ŋuti kɔkɔ me, eye abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ɖe Israel blibo la ta ene la, wotsɔ gbɔ̃tsu wuieve ɖe Israel ƒe to wuieveawo nu sa vɔe,

18 And they set the Priests in their order, and the Leuites in their courses ouer the seruice of God in Ierusalem, as it is written in the booke of Moses.

eye woɖo nunɔlaawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me kple Levitɔwo ɖe woƒe memamawo me hena Mawu ƒe dɔwo wɔwɔ le Yerusalem, ɖe nu si woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe Agbalẽ la me nu.

19 And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.

Le dzinu gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe la, aboyometsolawo ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la.

20 (For the Priests and the Leuites were purified altogether) and they killed the Passeouer for all the children of the captiuitie, and for their brethren the Priests, and for themselues.

Nunɔlaawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu, ale wo katã wonɔ kɔkɔe le se la nu. Levitɔwo wu Ŋutitotolẽvi la na aboyometsolawo katã, wo nɔvi nunɔlawo kple woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo.

21 So the children of Israel which were come againe out of captiuitie, and all such as had separated themselues vnto them, from the filthines of the Heathen of the land, to seeke the Lord God of Israel, did eate,

Ale Israelvi siwo katã gbɔ tso aboyome la ɖui kple ame siwo katã kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu tso trɔ̃subɔla siwo dome wole ƒe kɔnyinyiwo me, be woadi Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.

22 And they kept ye feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes with ioy: for the Lord had made them glad, and turned the heart of the King of Asshur vnto them, to incourage them in the worke of the house of God, euen the God of Israel.

Woɖu abolo maʋamaʋã ŋkekenyui la kple aseyetsotso, elabena Yehowa tsɔ dzidzɔ yɔ woƒe dziwo me, eye wòna Asiria fia ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe wo ŋu, wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu le Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ƒe dɔwo me.
