Ezra 5
1 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel prophesied they unto them.
Hatnavah, profet Haggai hoi Iddo capa Zekhariah e taminaw ni Judah ram hoi Jerusalem kaawm e Judah taminaw koe Isarel Cathut min lahoi lawk a dei awh.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
Hat toteh, Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi Jozadak capa Jeshua ni Jerusalem kaawm e Cathut e im sak hanelah bout a kamtawng awh. Ahnimouh kabawm hanelah Cathut e profet teh ahnimouh koevah ao.
3 At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, and said thus unto them: 'Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this structure?'
Hatnavah, tui namran ka uk e Tattenai hoi Shetharbozenai hoi a huinaw a cei awh teh, hettelah ahnimouh koe a dei pouh awh. Hete im sak hane hoi rapan cum hanelah apini maw kâ na poe, telah atipouh.
4 'Then spoke we unto them after this manner, wrote they: What are the names of the men that build this building?'
Hete ka sak e tami e min hah apimaw telah a pacei awh ei,
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
Darius siangpahrang koe e ca a tho hoehroukrak thaw kâhat hoeh nahanelah, Cathut ni Judah tami kacuenaw hah a mit hoi a khet. Hatdawkvah, kaukkungnaw ni thaw ngang thai pouh hoeh.
6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharesachites, who were beyond the River, sent unto Darius the king;
Hethateh, Tattenai taminaw ca a patawn awh e doeh. Tui namran kaukkung hoi Setharbozenai hoi a hui tui namran kaawm e Afasat tinaw ni Darius koe ca a patawn awh.
7 they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus: 'Unto Darius the king, all peace.
Hettelah a thut awh teh a patawn awh. Siangpahrang Darius koevah roumnae awm lawiseh.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth on with diligence and prospereth in their hands.
Hete hno heh siangpahrang ni panuek naseh, Judah ram vah Cathut e bawkim talung kalenpounge naw hoi lungphen e avan vah thingnaw a ta awh teh karanglah a sak awh e naw koe ka cei awh.
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus: Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?
Hahoi, hete im sak hane hoi rapan cum hanelah apinimaw kâ na poe telah kacuenaw ka pacei awh.
10 We asked them their names also, to announce to thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head of them.
Kahrawikungnaw e min ka thut awh teh kamcengcalah ka panue awh nahanelah ka pacei awh.
11 And thus they returned us answer, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and finished.
Ahnimouh ni hettelah a dei awh, Talai hoi kalvan Cathut e san lah doeh ka o awh. Kaloum tangcoung e kumnaw dawk sak tangcoung e, Isarel siangpahrang kalenpounge tami buet touh ni sak tangcoung e hah kaimouh ni ka pathoup awh e doeh.
12 But because that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Mintoenaw ni kalvan e Cathut a lungkhuek totouh ao awh dawkvah, Khaldean tami Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kut dawk a poe awh. Ahni ni hete im a raphoe teh taminaw hah Babilon lah a hrawi.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Hatei, Babilon siangpahrang Sairus, a bawinae apasuek kum vah, siangpahrang Sairus ni Cathut im bout sak hanelah kâ a poe.
14 And the gold and silver vessels also of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
Hahoi Cathut e im dawk e sui ngun hoi sak e hnopai Jerusalem Cathut bawkim thung hoi Nebukhadnezar ni a la teh Babilon e bawkim thung vah a kâenkhai e hah siangpahrang Sairus ni bawkim thung hoi bout a tâcokhai teh tami buet touh Sheshbazzar ram kaukkung hanelah a poe.
15 and he said unto him: Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place.
Hahoi ahni koevah, hete hnopai lat nateh cet lawih, Jerusalem e bawkim dawk hrueng hanh. Hote bawkim teh amae hmuen koe sak naseh telah ati.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundations of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not completed.
Hahoi teh, Sheshbazzar hai a cei van, Jerusalem bawkim adu ung teh hahoi atu totouh sak e doeh.
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house there, which is at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.'
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni ahawi tetpawiteh, hotnaw teh atangkatang maw, Babilon siangpahrang hnopai im dawk tawng naseh. Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hete kong dawk a ngai e patetlah dei naseh, telah ati awh.
