< Ezra 6 >
1 Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.
त्यसैले दारा राजाले बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा खोजतलाश गर्ने आज्ञा दिए ।
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,
मादी प्रान्तको एक्बातानको किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहरमा एउटा मुट्ठो भेट्टाइयो । त्यसको विवरण यस्तो थियोः
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,
“राजा कोरेसको पहिलो वर्षमा, कोरेसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको बारेमा एउटा आदेश जारी गर्नुभयो, 'बलिदानको स्थानको रूपमा एउटा भवन पुनर्निर्माण गरियोस्, यसका जगहरू बसालिऊन्, यसको उचाइ साठी हात र चौडाइ साठी हात होस्,
4 Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.
चोकमा ठुला ढुङ्गाका छपनी तिन लहर र फल्याकका छपनी एक लहर होस्, अनि राजदरबाट यसको खर्च तिरियोस् ।
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.
अब नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट बेबिलोनमा ल्याएका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सुन र चाँदीका थोकहरू लिएर ल्याऊ र तिनलाई यरूशलेमकै मन्दिरमा फिर्ता पठाऊ । तिमीहरूले तिनलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राख्नुपर्छ ।'
6 Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.
अब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिकप प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू अलग बसून् ।
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.
परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको काममा बाधा नदिनू । गभर्नर र यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले त्यस ठाउँमा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउनेछन् ।
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.
परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिर बनाउने यी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूका लागि तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू भनी म तिमीहरूलाई हुकुम दिंदैछुः तिनीहरूले आफ्नो काम रोक्न नपरोस् भनेर यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारिको राजकीय कोषबाट रुपियाँ-पैसा दिनू ।
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,
तिनीहरूलाई आवश्यक हरेक कुरो अर्थात् स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउन साँढेहरू, भेडाहरू वा थुमाहरू र यरूशलेमका पुजारीहरूको आज्ञामुताबिक अन्न, नून, दाखमद्य वा तेल दिनहुँ तिनीहरूलाई नबिर्सी दिनू ।
10 That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.
यसै गर्नू ताकि तिनीहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति भेटी ल्याऊन् र म राजा अनि मेरा छोराहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरून् ।
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.
कसैले यस आदेशलाई उल्लङ्घन गर्यो भने त्यसको घरबाट एउटा खम्बा उखेलियोस् र त्यसलाई त्यही खम्बामा टाँगियोस् भनी म आज्ञा दिंदैछु ।यो कारणले त्यसपछि त्यसको घरलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रोमा परिणत गरियोस् ।
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.
त्यस ठाउँमा आफ्नो नाउँ राख्नुहुने परमेश्वरले यस आदेशलाई बद्लन खोज्ने वा यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरलाई नष्ट गर्न खोज्ने कुनै पनि राजा वा मानिसलाई पदच्यूत गरून् । म दाराले यो आदेश दिंदैछु । मेहनतसाथ यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गरियोस् ।”
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.
तब राजा दाराद्वारा पठाइएको यस आदेशको कारणले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरूले राजा दाराले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार हरेक कुरा गरे ।
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.
यसरी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले हाग्गै अगमवक्ता र इद्दोका छोरा जकरियाको सुझाव मानेर निर्माण गरे र उन्नति गरे । इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको आज्ञा र फारसका राजाहरू कोरेस, दारा र अर्तासास्तका आदेशअनुसार तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भवन बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
15 And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.
राजा दाराको शासनकालको छैटौं वर्षको अदार महिनाको तेस्रो दिनमा मन्दिरको काम पुरा भयो ।
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,
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू र निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले आनन्दसाथ परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको समर्पण-उत्सव मनाए ।
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.
परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको समर्पणको निम्ति तिनीहरूले एक सयवटा साँढे, एक सयवटा भेडा र चार सयवटा थुमा बलि चढाए । इस्राएलका एक-एक कुलको लागि सारा इस्राएलीको लागि पापबलिको रूपमा बाह्रवटा बोका पनि चढाइयो ।
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.
मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम तिनीहरूले पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको सेवाको लागि तिनीहरूका विभाजनअनुसार नियुक्त पनि गरे ।
19 And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.
यसरी निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरूले पहिलो महिनाको चौधौं दिनमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
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.
पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, र आफूलगायत निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबैका लागि निस्तारको बलि चढाए ।
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,
निस्तारको मासु खाने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा निर्वासनबाट फर्केका र देशका मानिसहरूको अशुद्धताबाट आफूलाई अलग राखेका अनि इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गरेकाहरू थिए ।
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.
तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म हर्षका साथ अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमा आनन्द ल्याउनुभएको थियो, र इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको मन्दिर अर्थात् उहाँको घरको काममा तिनीहरूका हात बलियो पार्न अश्शूरका राजाको ह्रदय फर्काइदिनुभएको थियो ।
