Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Te vaengah Darius manghai loh saithainah a paek tangloeng tih Babylon kah a khueh cabu im kah cabu te a thaih uh.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that [is] in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein [was] a record thus written:
Tedae Media paeng kah manghai im, Akhametha ah cayol te a hmuh tih a khui ah cathut a daek.
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king [the same] Cyrus the king made a decree [concerning] the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
Manghai Cyrus kah kum khat dongah tah manghai Cyrus amah loh Jerusalem kah Pathen im te saithainah a paek tih, “Im te hmueih aka nawn kah hmuen ah sa saeh. A khoengim te a sang dong sawmrhuk a ka dong sawmrhuk la saeng.
4 [With] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
Lung nu than thum, thing than at saeh. Hnonah ham te manghai im lamloh pae saeh.
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which [is] at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which [is] at Jerusalem, [every one] to his place, and place [them] in the house of God.
Pathen im hnopai pataeng sui khaw cak khaw, Nebukhadnezzar loh Jerusalem bawkim lamkah a loh tih Babylon la a khuen te mael saeh lamtah Jerusalem kah bawkim te amah hmuen la paan saeh lamtah Pathen im ah khueh laeh?” a ti nah.
6 Now [therefore], Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which [are] beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
“Tattenai, sok paem boei Shetharboznai neh sok paem kah a boei hui rhoek te lamloh val om laeh saeh.
7 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.
Pathen im kah imsak nen he hlah uh laeh. Yahudi boei neh Yahudi a hamca rhoek loh Pathen im he amah hmuen la sa uh saeh.
8 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, [even] of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Yahudi a hamca rhoek taengah na saii uh ham te kai lamloh saithainah om coeng tih Pathen im he sa saeh. Te vaengah manghai koe lamloh sok paem mangmu lamkah tluem tluem hnonah saeh. Hlang rhoek taengah pae saeh lamtah paa boel saeh.
9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which [are] at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
A ngoe te tah vaan Pathen taengah hmueihhlutnah vaito ca neh tutal khaw tuca khaw, cangyen, lungkaehtael, misurtui neh situi khaw Jerusalem kah khosoih rhoek loh a hoe bangla a hnin, a hnin ah amih te dalrhanah om kolla pae.
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Vaan pathen taengah hlihlim neh a nawn la om uh saeh lamtah manghai neh a ca rhoek kah hingnah ham thangthui saeh.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Kai lamkah saithainah om tih he ol aka poe hlang boeih tah a im kah rhungsut te phong saeh lamtah a sut phoeiah anih te hoei saeh. Te dongah a im khaw kawnhnawt la om saeh.
12 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter [and] to destroy this house of God which [is] at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
Pathen loh amah ming a khueh thil Jerusalem kah Pathen im he hoilae ham neh palet ham a kut a thueng boeih tah manghai neh pilnam khaw palet van saeh. Kai Darius kah saithainah ka khueh he tluem tluem saii saeh,” a ti.
13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Sok paem boei Tattenai, Shetharboznai neh a hui rhoek long khaw manghai Darius kah a pat bangla tluem tluem a saii uh.
14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished [it], according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Yahudi a hamca rhoek khaw a sak uh vaengah tonghma Haggai neh Iddo capa Zekhariah kah olphong dongah thaihtak uh. Persia manghai Cyrus, Darius neh Artaxerxes lamkah saithainah dongkah Israel Pathen kah saithainah bangla a sak uh tih a coeng uh.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Te dongah manghai Darius ram kah a kum rhuk, Adar hla, hnin thum hlan ah im te a coeng.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek, hlangsol ca rhoek boeih loh Pathen im nawnnah he kohoenah neh a saii uh.
17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Te vaengah Pathen im nawnnah ham te vaito yakhat, tutal yakhat, tuca ya li, boirhaem dongkah ham boirhaem maae tal khaw a nawn uh. Israel pum hlai nit ham te Israel koca kah hlangmi tarhing la a nawn uh.
18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which [is] at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Moses cabu dongkah cadaek bangla Jerusalem kah Pathen imsak dongah khosoih rhoek khaw amah boelnah neh, Levi khaw amah tarhoi neh a pai sak uh.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
Tedae vangsawn koca rhoek loh hla khat hnin hlai li vaengah Yoom te a saii uh.
20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them [were] pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek loh pakhat la caihcil uh tih amih te boeih a cim phoeiah tah vangsawn ca boeih ham khaw, a manuca khosoih ham khaw amamih ham Yoom a ngawn uh.
21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
Te vaengah vangsawn lamkah aka mael Israel ca rhoek neh a kaepvai khohmuen kah namtom tihnai khui lamloh Israel Pathen BOEIPA te toem ham aka hoep uh boeih loh a caak uh.
22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Vaidamding khotue khaw hnin rhih khuiah kohoenah neh a saii uh. Israel Pathen kah Pathen im bitat dongah amih kut te moem pah ham Assyria manghai loh amih taengah lungbuei a tho dongah BOEIPA loh amih te ko a hoe sak.
