< 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.
Kalpasanna, nagipadto babaen iti nagan ti Dios ti Israel da Haggeo a profeta ken Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Iddo a profeta kadagiti Judio idiay Juda ken Jerusalem.
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.
Nagsagana ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken ni Jesua a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ket rinugianda a bangonen ti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, a kaduada dagiti profeta a nangpabileg kadakuada.
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?'
Kalpasanna, immay ni Tatnai a gobernador ti Probinsia iti Ballasiw ti Karayan, ni Setar Bozenai ken dagiti kakaduada, ket kinunada kadakuada, “Siasino ti nangibilin kadakayo a bangonen daytoy a balay ken leppasen dagitoy a pader?”
4 'Then spoke we unto them after this manner, wrote they: What are the names of the men that build this building?'
Kinunada pay, “Ania ti nagnagan dagiti lallaki a mangibangbangon iti daytoy a balay?”
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.
Ngem ti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti panglakayen a Judio, ket saan ida a napasardeng dagiti kabusorda. Ur-urayenda ti maipatulod a surat iti ari ken tapno maipasubli ti maysa a bilin maipapan iti daytoy.
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;
Daytoy ti surat da Tatnai, Setar Bozenai, ken dagiti kakaduada nga opisiales para kenni Dario nga ari.
7 they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus: 'Unto Darius the king, all peace.
Nangipatulodda iti pakaammo, kastoy ti insuratda para kenni Ari Dario. “Kapia koma ti adda kenka.
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.
Maipakaammo iti ari a napan kami idiay Juda, iti balay ti naindaklan a Dios. Madama a maibangbangon daytoy babaen kadagiti dadakkel a batbato ken nakabilan iti kaykayo dagiti pader. Naan-anay ti pannakaaramid daytoy ket adu ti malmalpas dagiti imada.
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?
Dinamagmi kadagiti panglakayenda, 'Siasino ti nangibilin kadakayo a bangonen daytoy a balay ken dagitoy a pader?'
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.
Dinamagmi pay dagiti nagnaganda tapno maamoam no ania ti nagan ti tunggal maysa a nangidaulo kadakuada.
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.
Simmungbatda ket kinunada, 'Adipennakami ti Dios ti langit ken daga, ket bangbangonenmi manen daytoy a balay a siguden a naibangon, adun a tawen ti naglabas idi imbangon ken inleppas daytoy ti natan-ok nga ari ti Israel.
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.
Ngem idi pinagpungtot dagiti kapuonanmi ti Dios ti langit, inyawat ida ti Dios iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia a nangdadael iti daytoy a balay ken nangitalaw kadagiti tattao a kas balud nga impanna idiay Babilonia.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Nupay kasta, iti umuna a tawen a panagturay ni Cyrus a kas ari ti Babilonia, nangipaulog ni Cyrus iti maysa a bilin tapno maibangon manen ti balay ti Dios.
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;
Insubli pay ni Ari Cyrus dagiti balitok ken pirak nga alikamen iti balay ti Dios nga innala ni Ari Nebucadnesar manipud idiay templo ti Jerusalem nga impanna iti templo idiay Babilonia. Insublina dagitoy kenni Sesbasar a pinagbalinna a gobernador.
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.
Kinunana kenkuana, “Alaem dagitoy nga alikamen. Ikabilmo dagitoy iti templo idiay Jerusalem. Bay-am a maibangon manen ti balay ti Dios sadiay.
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.
Kalpasanna, immay daytoy a Sesbasar ket insaadna ti pundasion para iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem; ket madama a maipatpatakder daytoy ngem saanpay a naileppas.'
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.'
Ita, no nasayaat para iti ari, masukimat koma daytoy iti balay a nakaidulinan dagiti libro idiay Babilonia no adda sadiay ti bilin a nagtaud kenni Ari Cyrus a maibangon manen daytoy a balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem. Kalpasanna, mabalin nga ipatulod ti ari ti pangngeddengna kadakami.
