< Ezra 7 >

1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Hathnukkhu, Persia siangpahrang Artaxerxes a bawi lahun nah Ezra teh Babilon hoi a tho. Seraiah teh Azariah capa doeh, Azariah teh Hilkiah capa doeh.
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Hilkiah teh Shallum capa doeh, Shallum teh Zadok capa doeh, Zadok teh Ahitub capa doeh.
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Ahitub teh Amariah capa doeh, Amariah teh Azariah capa doeh. Azariah teh Meraioth capa doeh.
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Meraioth teh Zerahiah capa doeh, Zerahiah teh Uzzi capa doeh, Bukki teh Abishua capa doeh, Abishua teh Phinehas capa doeh.
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest —
Phinehas teh Eleazar capa doeh, Eleazar teh vaihma bawi Aron capa doeh.
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
Babilon hoi ka tho e cakathutkung Ezra teh Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe poe e kâlawknaw kathoum poung e lah ao. Ahnie lathueng vah BAWIPA Cathut ni a kut hoi a okhai e patetlah siangpahrang ni a hei e naw pueng hah a poe.
7 And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Hahoi, siangpahrang Artaxerxes a bawinae kum 7 nah, Isarel catoun tangawn, vaihma tangawn, Levih catoun tangawn, la kasaknaw tangawn, longkha karingkungnaw tangawn, Nethinim taminaw tangawn teh Jerusalem lah a ceitakhang awh.
8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Hahoi siangpahrang a bawinae kum 7 thapa yung 5 nah, Ezrah teh Jerusalem vah a pha.
9 For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Thapa yung apasuek apasuek hnin vah Babilon hoi a tâco teh Cathut ni ahni koe a okhai teh, thapa ayung panga, apasuek hni vah Jerusalem vah a pha.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ezra ni Cathut e lawk a tawng teh tarawi hane hoi Isarelnaw phunglam hoi hringnuen cangkhai hanelah a lungthin hoi a kâcai.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of His statutes to Israel:
Hethateh, siangpahrang Artaxerxes ni vaihma Ezra, ca kathutkung, BAWIPA e kâpoelawknaw hoi Isarelnaw hanelah, phunglawknaw kathoum e tami koe a patawn e ca doeh.
12 'Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, and so forth. And now
Siangpahrangnaw e siangpahrang Artaxerxes ni vaihma Ezra, kalvan e Cathut e kâlawk ka thut e koe kakuep e roumnae awm lawiseh.
13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go with thee to Jerusalem, go.
Ka ram thung kaawm e Isarelnaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah Jerusalem lah cei hane ka ngai e tami pueng nang koe cei hanelah kâ ka poe.
14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
Na sin e Cathut e kâlawk patetlah Judah ram hoi Jerusalem e kong teh rip hane lah,
15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
Jerusalem kaawm e Isarel Cathut dawk lungthoungnae lahoi siangpahrang hoi lawkcengkungnaw ni poe e tangka hoi suinaw ceikhai hanelah siangpahrang hoi lawkcengkung 7 touh a patoun e doeh.
16 and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
Babilon ramnaw dawk na hmu e naw pueng sui ngun ma lungthonae lahoi taminaw hoi vaihmanaw ni a poe e Jerusalem e Cathut im hanelah lunghawicalah poe e naw doeh.
17 therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
Hahoi hote sui ngun hoi maitotan thoseh, tutan thoseh, tuca thoseh ca hane hoi nei kawi thueng nahanelah, tawngtang na ran awh han. Telah pawiteh Jerusalem vah kaawm e nangmae Cathut im dawk e khoungroe dawk na thueng awh han.
18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God.
Sui ngun hai kacawie naw pueng teh na Cathut a hnâbo e patetlah nang hoi na hmaunawnghanaw hoi ahawi na ti awh e patetlah na kâdei awh han.
19 And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
Na Cathut im thawtawknae dawk hnopai poe e naw pueng teh Jerusalem e Cathut im dawk na tâ awh han.
20 And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house.
Na Cathut e im saknae dawk panki e alouke awm pawiteh siangpahrang e hnopai na hno awh han.
21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers that are beyond the River, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
Kai siangpahrang Artaxerxes ni tui namran lae hnopai kakhoumkungnaw teh, vaihma Ezra, kalvan Cathut e kâlawk kathutkung ni a hei e naw pueng hah,
22 unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
ngun talen 100, cakang hmuen 100, misurtui um 100, satuium 100, palawi naw poe awh loe telah kâ ka poe.
23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Kalvan Cathut ni kâ poe naw pueng, hot patetlah kalvan Cathut e im hanelah sak naseh, lungkhueknae teh siangpahrang hoi a canaw e lathueng bangkongmaw khuet ao han vaw.
24 Also we announce to you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, impost, or toll, upon them.
Vaihmanaw hoi Levih miphunnaw, la kasaknaw hoi longkha karingkungnaw hoi Nethinimnaw, hete Cathut e im dawk thaw katawknaw heh tamuk thoseh, hnopai phu thoseh, laikawk phu thoseh na cawi sak awh mahoeh telah na thaisak awh.
25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not.
Nang Ezra, na tawn e Cathut ni lungangnae na poe e patetlah tui namran lah kaawmnaw lawkceng pouh hane kahrawikungnaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw hoi Cathut e kâlawk kapanueknaw hah thaw poe awh, ka panuek hoeh e naw hah pâtu awh.
26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.'
Na Cathut e kâlawk hoi siangpahrang e kâlawk ka ngai hoeh e tami teh a due totouh thoseh, ram thung hoi pâlei totouh thoseh, hnopai la pouh e totouh thoseh, thongim paung e totouh thoseh, lawkcengnae ao han, telah a ti.
27 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem;
Jerusalem e BAWIPA im ahawi nahanelah siangpahrang heh, hettelah e lungthin ka tawn sakkung hoi, lawkcengkungnaw hmalah hoi siangpahrang kalen min kamthang katang naw e hmalah kai lathueng lungmanae kamnueksakkung mintoenaw e Jehovah Cathut teh, pholen lah awmseh.
28 and hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Hottelah kaie Cathut BAWIPA bawilennae kecu dawk, kai teh ka thao teh, kai hoi cungtalah kâbang hane Isarel kacuenaw hah ka kamkhuengsak.
