< Ezra 3 >

1 And the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel [were] in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at Jerusalem.
Lhasagi ahunglhin toh kilhonin Israelte chu ama ama khopia ahung chenglut taovin ahi. Hichun Israel mipite jouse chu lungkhat tah in Jerusalem’ah ahung kikhom taovin ahi.
2 Then stood up Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses the man of God.
Hichun Jehozadak chapa Jeshua chu athempu chan khompiho Shealtiel chapa Zerubabel leh ainsung mite toh ahung kitho hom uvin, Israel Pathen maicham chu ahin sapha tauvin ahi. Pathen mipa Mose thuhil banga pumgo thilto chu Pakai maichama asem got u ahi.
3 And they set up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole burnt offerings was offered up upon it to the Lord morning and evening.
Israelte chun amun a anacheng saho chu ginna anei vangun maicham chu asempha uvin ahi. Hijou chun amahon jingkah nilhah in Pakai maicham achun pumgo thilto anabol jeng un ahi.
4 And they kept the feast of tabernacles, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole burnt offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.
Amahon Lhambuh Kut abollun, hichu Mose daan dungjuija niseh le anikho a ngaichat dolla pumgo thiltoa kilhaina ding jongchu atoh jengun ahi.
5 And after this the perpetual whole burnt offering, and [offering] for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free will offering to the Lord.
Pakaiyin agonpeh u dungjuijin, angaija pumgo thilto dinga apediu ahin lhathah jousea kibol thilto ding ahin chuleh kumlhum seh a kut ho dingin, ahin tohdoh jiuvin ahi.
6 On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not laid.
Lhambuh Kut kipat masang ni somle nga chan nileh thempu hon Pakai kom’ah pumgo thilto a dingin kilhaina anei masa jiuvin ahi. Hichehi Pakai houin kisah masang’a govam kilhaina chu ana pantauvin ahi.
7 And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.
Hijouchun mipiten thihkheng them holeh thingthem bolho athalah un chuleh Tyre leh Sidon akonin thing kitan bongho ahinpo uvin, aman dingin nehle chah lengpitwi le Olive thao anapeuvin ahi. Thingtum hochu Lebanon molla konin ahinpo uvin Mediterannean Twikhanglen pang juijah Joppa geijin akithol lhah sah un ahi. Hichehi Cyrus lengpa phatsah na noiya abol'u ahi.
8 And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in the house of the Lord.
Tun Jerusalem ahunglhun jou’u kumni le lhani channa in Pathen Houin sah akipan taovin ahi. Natongho chu sohchanna a kona hung potdoh jouse le Shealtiel chapa Zerubababel chuleh Jehozadak chapa Jeshua leh athempu chanpi hotoh chuleh Levite kum somni lhing holeh aval hochu Pakai houin sahphatna in alamkaijin ana pangun ahi.
9 And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, their sons and their brethren the Levites.
Pathen houin sa hochu Jeshua le achate chule asopiteho Kadmiel le asopiho chujongleh Hodaviah chilhah ho jouse avesui jin ana pang un ahi. Hiche anatoh naova hin Henadad insung leh evite nana kithopiu vin ahi.
10 And they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the order of David king of Israel.
Hiche insaho hin Pakai houin chu aleibul ahin tundoh phat uvin thempu hon avon’u ahin kivon’un sumkon mut dingin amun cheh u ahi kilo uvin ahi. Hiteng chuleh David lengpan anasemtoh bangin Asaph chilhah ten Pakai thangvahna in atumging thei ho ahin suging uvin ahi.
11 And they answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for his mercy to Israel [endures] for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.
Thangvah pumin Pakai vahchoila ahinsaovin ahi: “Amahi aphabehseh jenge! Aman Israelte alungset nahi tonsot nading ahi!” atiuve. Hijouchun mipi chun Pakai Houin leibul chu ahung kitundoh jeh chun Pakai thangvahna in hasap in asam un ahi.
12 But many of the priests and the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and [who saw] this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.
Ahinlah thempuhon atehse holeh Levite chuleh phung upa dang ho Pakai Houin masa ana mukha jouse chu ha kan akap un ahi. Mipi adangho vang chu kipah tahin hasap’in asam un ahi.
13 And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.
Akipanao husa leh mipi phabep kana ogin chutoh kigom in hatah in ana thongin ahileh gamlatah a umhon jong ajaphauvin ahi.
