< 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,
Bangʼ gigi duto, e kinde mar loch Artaksases ruodh Pasia, Ezra wuod Seraya, ma wuod Azaria, ma wuod Hilkia,
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
ma wuod Shalum, ma wuod Zadok, ma wuod Ahitub,
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
ma wuod Amaria, ma wuod Azaria, ma wuod Merayoth,
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
ma wuod Zerahia, ma wuod Uzi, ma wuod Buki,
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest —
ma wuod Abishua, ma wuod Finehas, ma wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo maduongʼ;
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.
Ezra-ni noduogo koa Babulon. Ne en japuonj man-gi lony mathoth kuom Chik Musa, ma Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nochiwo. Ruoth nomiye gimoro amora mano kwayo, nimar lwet Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasache ne ni kuome.
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.
Jo-Israel mamoko, kaachiel gi jodolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach kod jotij hekalu, bende nobiro Jerusalem e higa mar abiriyo mar Ruoth Artaksases.
8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Ezra nochopo Jerusalem e dwe mar abich mar higa mar abiriyo mar ruoth.
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.
Nochako wuodhe koa Babulon e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo, kendo nochopo Jerusalem e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abich, nimar lwedo mangʼwon mar Nyasache ne ni kuome.
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.
Nimar Ezra nosechiwore owuon ne somo matut kendo rito Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye, kod puonjo chikene gi buchene e Israel.
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:
Ma e baruwa machalre gi mane mane Ruoth Artaksases omiyo Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj, ngʼatno mosomo weche maluwore gi chike kod buche Jehova Nyasaye ne Israel:
12 'Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, and so forth. And now
Artaksases, ruoth mar ruodhi, Ne Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj mar Chik Nyasach Polo: Amosi.
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.
Koro achiwo chik ni ja-Israel moro amora manie pinya, kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, madwaro dhi Jerusalem kodi, nyalo dhi.
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;
Oori gi ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko abiriyo mondo inon wach kaka Juda gi Jerusalem dhi kaluwore gi chik Nyasachi manie lweti.
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,
To bende, nyaka idhi gi fedha kod dhahabu ma ruoth gi jongʼadne rieko osechiwo kuom hero mag-gi giwegi ne Nyasach Israel, ma kar dak mare en Jerusalem,
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;
kaachiel gi fedha gi dhahabu duto ma unyalo yudo koa e gwengʼ mar Babulon, kanyakla gi chiwo ma ji kod jodolo golo ma en chiwo mar hera ne hekalu mar Nyasachgi e Jerusalem.
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.
Gi pesani nyaka ine ni ingʼiewo rwedhi, imbe kod nyithi rombe machwo, kanyakla gi chiwo mag-gi mag cham kod misango miolo piny, kendo gitimgo misango ewi kendo mar hekalu mar Nyasachi e Jerusalem.
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.
In kod oweteni ma jo-Yahudi unyalo timo gima uneno ka ber gi fedha gi dhahabu modongʼ, kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasachi.
19 And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
Chiwne Nyasach Jerusalem gigo duto moket e lweti mar dendo Nyasaye e hekalu mar Nyasachi.
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.
Kendo gimoro amora midwaro mar hekalu mar Nyasachi ma inyalo bedo gi thuolo mar chiwo, inyalo chiwe koa e keno ma ka ruoth.
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,
Koro an, Ruoth Artaksases, achiwo chik ni kuonde keno duto mag Yufrate ochiw gi chia gimoro amora ma Ezra jadolo, japuonj Chik mar Nyasach polo, nyalo kwayou, kaka
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.
fedha madirom kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen, gunde mag ngano ma pek romo kilo alufu apar gaboro, divai maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, mo maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, kod chumbi mathoth ma ok nyal pim.
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?
Gimoro amora ma Nyasach polo osechano, we otime gi chia ne hekalu mar Nyasach polo. En angʼo momiyo mirima dibed kuom pinyruoth gi yawuote?
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.
Bende nyaka ingʼe ni ionge gi teko mar chuno ji golo osuru, kata chiwo kata chudo ewi jadolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach, jatij hekalu moro amora kata jotich mamoko e odni mar Nyasaye.
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.
To in, Ezra, kaluwore gi rieko matut mar Nyasachi, ma in godo, yier jongʼad bura matindo kod jongʼad bura madongo mondo ongʼad bura gadiera ne jo-Yufrate duto, ma gin joma ongʼeyo chike Nyasachi. Kendo nyaka ipuonj ngʼato angʼata mokia chikego.
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.'
Ngʼato angʼata ma ok luor chik Nyasachi kod chik ruoth nyaka kume e yor tho, dare, pe gige, kata tere e od twech.
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;
Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwerewa, moseketo e chuny ruoth mondo luor obed ne od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem e yo machalo kama
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.
kendo moserieyo lwete maber mar ngʼwono ne an e nyim ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko kod jotend ruoth maroteke mondo omiya luor. Nikech lwet Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha neni kuoma, ne abedo gi chir mi achoko jotelo duto moa Israel mondo odhi koda.
