< Ezra 7 >

1 Now after these things, in the reign of Arthasastha king of the Persians, came up Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Chelcias,
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, kabayatan ti panagturay ni Ari Artaxerxes, dagiti kapuonan ni Ezra ket da Seraias, Azarias, Hilkias,
2 the son of Selum, the son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob,
Sallum, Zadok, Ahitub,
3 the son of Samarias, the son of Esria, the son of Mareoth,
Amarias, Azarias, Merayot,
4 the son of Zaraia, the son of Ozias, the son of Bokki,
Zerahias, Uzzi, Bukki,
5 the son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the first priest.
Abisua, Finees, Eleazar, kalpasanna ni Aaron a kangatoan a padi—
6 This Esdras went up out of Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel gave: and the king gave him [leave], for the hand of the Lord his God was upon him in all things which he sought.
Pimmanaw ni Ezra manipud Babilonia. Nalaing isuna nga eskriba iti linteg ni Moises nga inted ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Inted ti ari kenkuana ti aniaman a dinawatna agsipud ta adda kenkuana ti ima ni Yahweh.
7 And [some] of the children of Israel went up, and [some] of the priests, and of the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, and the Nathinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Arthasastha the king.
Iti maikapito a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Artaxerxes, simmang-at met idiay Jerusalem dagiti sumagmamano a kaputotan ni Israel ken dagiti padi, dagiti Levita, dagiti kumakanta iti templo, dagiti mangbanbantay iti ruangan, ken dagiti nadutokan nga agserbi iti templo.
8 And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this [was] the seventh year of the king.
Nakadanon isuna idiay Jerusalem iti maikalima a bulan iti isu met laeng a tawen.
9 For in the first [day] of the first month he began the going up from Babylon, and in the first day of the fifth month, they came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was upon him.
Pimmanaw isuna idiay Babilonia iti umuna nga aldaw iti umuna a bulan. Simmangpet isuna idiay Jerusalem idi umuna nga aldaw iti maikalima a bulan, agsipud ta adda kenkuana ti naimbag nga ima ti Dios.
10 For Esdras had determined in his heart to seek the law, and to do and teach the ordinances and judgments in Israel.
Impapuso ni Ezra a nang-adal, nangaramid, ken nangisuro dagiti annuroten ken dagiti naipaulog a linteg ni Yahweh.
11 And this [is] the copy of the order which Arthasastha gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe of the book of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his ordinances to Israel.
Daytoy ti naipaulog a linteg nga inted ni Ari Artaxerxes kenni Ezra a padi ken eskriba dagiti bilin ken alagaden ni Yahweh para iti Israel:
12 Arthasastha, king of kings, to Esdras, the scribe of the law of the Lord God of heaven, Let the order and the answer be accomplished.
“Manipud iti Ari dagiti ari a ni Artaxerxes, nga agpaay kenni Ezra a padi, nga eskriba ti linteg ti Dios ti langit:
13 A decree is made by me, that every one who is willing in my kingdom of the people of Israel, and of the priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem, [be permitted] to go with you.
Ibilbilinko a siasinoman iti pagariak ti naggapu idiay Israel, agraman dagiti papadida ken dagiti Levita nga agtartarigagay a mapan idiay Jerusalem, ket mabalin a sumurot kenka.
14 [One] has been sent from the king and the seven councillors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem, according to the law of their God that is in your hand.
Siak, nga ari, ken dagiti pito a mammagbagak, ibaonkayo amin a mangsukimat ti maipapan iti Juda ken Jerusalem, a maiyannurot iti linteg ti Dios a naawatanyo,
15 And for the house of the Lord [there have been sent] silver and gold, which the king and the councillors have freely given to the God of Israel, who dwells in Jerusalem.
ket tapno maiyegyo ti pirak ken balitok nga indatonda iti Dios ti Israel idiay Jerusalem, ti pagtaenganna.
16 And all the silver and gold, whatever you shall find in all the land of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people, and the priests that offer freely for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
Itedyo amin a pirak ken balitok nga inted dagiti amin a taga-Babilonia agraman ti inted dagiti tattao ken dagiti padi para iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem.
17 And as for every one that arrives [there], speedily order him by this letter [to bring] calves, rams, lambs, and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings; and you shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
Isu a gumatangka kadagiti baka, kalakian ken urbon a karnero, trigo ken daton a mainom. Idatonyo dagitoy iti rabaw ti altar iti balay ti Diosyo idiay Jerusalem.
18 And whatever it shall seem good to you and to your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do as it is pleasing to your God.
Aramidem ken dagiti kakabsatmo a lallaki ti ammom a nasayaat para iti natidda a pirak ken balitok, tapno maay-ayo ti Diosyo.
19 And deliver the vessels that are given you for the service of the house of God, before God in Jerusalem.
Idatagmo dagiti alikamen a siwawaya a naited kenka iti sangoananna para iti panagserbi iti balay ti Diosyo idiay Jerusalem.
20 And as to the rest of the need of the house of your God, you shall give from the king's treasure-houses,
Aniaman a masapul para iti balay ti Diosyo a kasapulam, alaem ti bayadna manipud iti pagiduldulinan ti gamengko.
21 and from me, whatever it shall seem [good] to you to give. I king Arthasastha have made a decree for all the treasuries that are in the [country] beyond the river, that whatever Esdras the priest and scribe of the God of heaven may ask you, it shall be done speedily,
Siak ni Artaxerxes nga Ari, nangaramidak iti bilin kadagiti amin a tesorero iti ballasiw ti Karayan, nga aniaman a dawaten ni Ezra kadakayo ket nasken nga itedyo a naan-anay
22 to [the amount of] a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred measures of wheat, and a hundred baths of wine, and a hundred baths of oil, and salt without reckoning.
agingga iti sangagasut a talento a pirak, sangagasut a kasukat a trigo, sangagasut a bat nga arak, ken sangagasut a bat ti lana kasta met ti aglaplapusanan nga asin.
23 Let whatever is in the decree of the God of heaven, be done: take heed lest any one make an attack on the house of the God of heaven, lest at any time there shall be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons.
Aniaman a bilin manipud ti Dios iti Langit, aramidenyo daytoy a naan-anay para iti balayna. Ta apay koma nga umay ti pungtotna iti pagariak ken kadagiti annakko a lallaki?
24 Also this has been declared to you, with respect to all the priests, and Levites, the singers, porters, Nathinim and ministers of the house of God, let no tribute be [paid] to you; you shall not have power to oppress them.
Ipakpakaammomi kadakuada a saankayo a mangsingsingir iti aniaman a buwis iti siasinoman kadagiti padi, kadagiti Levita, kadagiti kumakanta, kadagiti mangbanbantay iti ruangan, wenno kadagiti tattao a nadutokan nga agserbi iti templo ken kadagiti adipen iti daytoy balay ti Dios.
25 And you, Esdras, as the wisdom of God [is] in your hand, appoint scribes and judges, that they may judge for all the people beyond the river, all that know the law of the Lord your God; and you shall make it known to him that knows not.
Sika Ezra, babaen iti sirib nga inted kenka ti Dios, masapul a mangdutokka kadagiti ukom ken nasirib a tattao nga agserbi kadagiti amin a tattao iti ballasiw ti Karayan, ken agserbi iti siasinoman a makaammo ti linteg ti Diosmo. Masapul met a suroam dagiti saan a makaamo iti linteg.
26 And whoever shall not do the law of God, and the law of the king readily, judgment shall be taken upon him, whether for death or for chastisement, or for a fine of his property, or casting into prison.
Dusaem ti siasinoman a saan a naan-anay nga agtultulnog iti linteg ti Dios wenno iti linteg ti ari, uray babaen iti pannakapapatay, iti pannakaibelleng, iti pannakasamsam dagiti sanikuada, wenno pannakaibalud.”
27 Blessed [be] the Lord God of our fathers, who has put it thus into the heart of the king, to glorify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem;
Kinuna ni Ezra “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonantayo, a nangtignay iti puso ti ari tapno mangdayaw iti balay ni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem
28 and has given me favor in the eyes of the king, and of his councillors, and all the rulers of the king, the exalted ones. And I was strengthened according to the good hand of God upon me, and I gathered chief men of Israel to go up with me.
ken ti nangipaay ti kinapudnona iti tulagna kaniak iti sangoanan ti ari, dagiti mammagbagana, ken dagiti amin a mannakabalin nga opisialna. Napabilegak babaen iti ima ni Yahweh a Diosko, ket inummongko dagiti mangidadaulo manipud iti Israel tapno kumuyog kaniak.”
