1 Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.
Enti ɔhene Dario hyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Babilonia nneɛma dedaw akorae hɔ faako a wɔkora nneɛma a ɛsom bo no.
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,
Na Ekbatana aban a ɛwɔ Mediaman no mu hɔ no na wohuu krataa mmobɔwee bi. Na emu nsɛm ni: Amanneɛbɔ krataa:
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,
Ɔhene Kores dii ade nʼafe a edi so no, wɔhyɛɛ mmara faa Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ho. Ɛkae se ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan si no wɔ beae a na Yudafo bɔ wɔn afɔre hɔ, wɔ fapem dedaw no so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, na ne trɛw nso anammɔn aduɔkron.
4 Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.
Abo a wɔasiesie no sononko no mmeaso abiɛsa biara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nnua gu. Na adehye foto mu na wobefi atua ho ka.
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.
Sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nkuku ne nkaka a Nebukadnessar tase fii Onyankopɔn asɔredan a esi Yerusalem no mu de kɔɔ Babilonia no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de kɔ Yerusalem, de kogu Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu sɛnea na ɛte no.
6 Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.
Na ɔhene Dario de saa nkra yi somae: Mede krataa yi kɔma amrado Tatenai a ɔwɔ asu Eufrate agya ne Setar-Bosnai ne mo mfɛfo ne mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ Eufrate agya sɛ monnkɔ hɔ.
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.
Monnkotwintwan Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si anan mu. Wonsi no wɔ beae dedaw mu hɔ ara, na monntoto Yuda amrado ne Yudafo mpanyimfo anan mu wɔ adwuma no yɛ ho.
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.
Na mesan hyɛ mo bio sɛ, mommoa saa Yudafo mpanyimfo no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ mutua adansi no ho ka nyinaa fi tow a mugyigye fi mo man mu a monntwentwɛn so koraa, sɛnea adwuma no yɛ renka.
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,
Biribiara a ɛho hia asɔfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem, sɛ ebia, nantwimma, adwennini ne nguantenmma a wɔde bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsorosoro no, momfa mma wɔn. Afei, momma wɔn atoko, nkyene, nsa ne ngo a ɛho behia wɔn da biara a monnto mu.
10 That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, wobetumi abɔ afɔre a ɛsɔ ani ama ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn, na wɔabɔ mpae ama me ne me mmabarima.
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.
Wɔn a wobebu mmara no so wɔ ɔkwan biara so no, wobeyi wɔn adan so mpuran, na wɔde wɔn abobɔ mu, abɔ wɔn mmaa, ama wɔn afi adwiriw, adan sumina siw.
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.
Onyankopɔn a wayi Yerusalem kurow sɛ beae a wɔnhyɛ ne din anuonyam no nsɛe ɔhene anaa ɔman biara a wobebu ne mmara so, asɛe asɔredan no. Me Dario na mahyɛ saa mmara yi. Ma ɔmanfo ntie no aso pa mu.
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.
Na Tatenai a ɔyɛ asu Eufrate agya amrado ne Setar-Bosnai ne ne mfɛfo dii Dario mmara a ɔhyɛɛ no so prɛko pɛ.
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.
Enti Yudafo mpanyimfo toaa wɔn dwumadi no so na asɛm a adiyifo Hagai ne Ido babarima Sakaria kae no hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Na wowiee asɔredan no si, sɛnea Israel Nyankopɔn hyɛe na Kores, Dario ne Persiahene Artasasta hyɛɛ mmara no.
15 And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.
Wowiee asɔredan no si wɔ Abib (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛto so dumien, ɔhene Dario ahenni mfe asia so.
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,
Israelfo, asɔfo, Lewifo ne nnipa no nkae a wofi nnommum mu aba no de ahosɛpɛw too Onyankopɔn asɔredan no din.
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.
Onyankopɔn asɔredan no dinto afahyɛ no mu no, wɔde nantwimma ɔha, adwennini ahannu ne nguantenmma ahannan bɔɔ afɔre. Na wɔmaa mmirekyi dumien sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde, de gyinaa hɔ maa Israel mmusuakuw dumien no.
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.
Na wɔkyekyɛɛ asɔfo ne Lewifo no mu, sɛnea wɔn akuw ahorow te no ma wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu wɔ Yerusalem, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose Nhoma mu no.
19 And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.
Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so aduonu baako no, wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no dii Twam Afahyɛ.
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.
Asɔfo no ne Lewifo no dwiraa wɔn ho maa wɔn ho tew maa afahyɛ no. Enti wokum Twam Afahyɛ guamma maa wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no nyinaa ne asɔfo a wɔaka ne wɔn ankasa wɔn ho.
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,
Nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel a wofi nnommum mu aba no ne nnipa no nkae a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu no a wɔadan afi wɔn amumɔyɛ akwan ho abɛsom Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, no na wodii twam aduan no.
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.
Wodii Twam Afahyɛ aduan no, na wɔde nnanson nso dii Apiti Afahyɛ no. Ahosɛpɛw baa ɔman no mmaa nyinaa, efisɛ Awurade sakraa Asiriahene adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ wɔn ho ma ɔboaa wɔn sii Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn, asɔredan no.
