< Ezra 3 >

1 And when the seventh month drew near, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Khrah sarihto phak moe, Israelnawk angmacae avang ah oh o boih pacoengah, kaminawk loe Jerusalem vangpui ah maeto ah amkhueng o.
2 Then arose Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer thereon burnt-offerings, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
To naah Jozadak capa Jeshua hoi angmah ih nawkamya qaimanawk, Sheatiel capa Zerubbabel hoi anih ih nawkamyanawk loe Sithaw kami Mosi daan cabu pongah tarik ih baktih toengah, hmai angbawnhaih hmuen paek hanah, Israel Sithaw ih hmaicam sakhaih to amtong o.
3 And they erected the altar upon its foundations; for there was fear upon them because of the people of these countries; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the Lord, burnt-offerings at morning and at evening.
To prae ah kaom kaminawk to zit o, toe thlung hoiah hmaicam to sak o pacoengah, a nuiah Angraeng khaeah, akhawn hoi duembangah hmuen tathlanghaih to a paek o.
4 And they celebrated the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the prescribed manner, the offering of every day on its day;
Cabu thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, kahni im payanghaih poih to sak o moe, sakzong ih hmuen baktih, angaihaih baktih toengah, ni thokkruek hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o.
5 And afterward the continual burnt-offering, and that for the new moons, and for all the feasts of the Lord that are hallowed, and that of every one who willingly offered a free-will offering unto the Lord.
To pacoengah, apet ai ah hmai angbawnhaih, khrah kangtha niah hmuen paekhaih, Angraeng ih kaciim poih ni hanah hmuenpaekhaih hoi Angraeng khaeah palung ahuem zetto hmuennawk to a paek o.
6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord: although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not yet been laid.
Angraeng ih im sakhaih ahmuen mataeng doeh amtong o ai vop, toe kaminawk loe khrah sarihto haih hmaloe koek niah, Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o.
7 Then did they give money unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto the Zidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from the Lebanon by sea to Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus the king of Persia for them.
Persia siangpahrang Sairas ih lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, Param long hoiah im sak kop kami hoi thing aah kop kaminawk khaeah phoisa to a paek o, caaknaek hoi situinawk loe Sidon hoi Tura vangpui ih kaminawk khaeah a paek o; nihcae mah Lebanon hoi Joppa ih sidar thingnawk to tui lam hoiah phawh pae o.
8 And in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, did Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel and Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and the remainder of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem make a beginning; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of the house of the Lord.
Jerusalem ih Sithaw im ah phakhaih, saning hnetto haih, khrah hnetto naah, Sheatiel capa Zerubbabel, Jozadak capa Jeshua hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk, qaimanawk, Levinawk, misong angtanghaih hoiah kamlaem, Jerusalem ah angzo kaminawk boih angthawk o moe, saning pumphaeto ranuih bang kaom Levinawk to Sithaw im sakhaih khenzawnkung ah a suek o.
9 Then stood forward Jeshua' with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one man, to superintend the workmen in the house of God; [also] the sons of Chenadad, their sons and their brethren the Levites.
To naah Judah ih capanawk, Jeshua hoi anih ih capanawk, angmah ih nawkamyanawk, Kadmiel ih capanawk hoi Levi ih capanawk loe toksakhaih khenzawnkung ah oh o, Henadad ih capanawk, nihcae ih nawkamyanawk boih loe Levi acaengnawk hoi nawnto toksak o.
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they placed the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Assaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the manner of David the king of Israel.
Im sahkungnawk mah Angraeng ih im angdoethaih ahmuen to sak amtong o naah, Israel siangpahrang David mah sak ih baktih toengah, Angraeng ih ahmin to saphaw hanah, qaimanawk loe angmacae ih khukbuen to angkhuk o moe, mongkah to sinh o, Levi acaengnawk hoi Asaph ih capanawk doeh cingcaeng sinkung ah suek o.
11 And they sang responsively in praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord; because he is good, for unto everlasting endureth his kindness toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, while praising the Lord; because the foundation of the house of the Lord had been laid.
Angraeng loe hoih; a tahmenhaih loe Israel caanawk khaeah dungzan khoek to om poe nasoe, tiah anghoehaih hoiah ahmin saphawhaih laa to a sak o. Angraeng im ahmuen to sak amtong o boeh pongah, kaminawk boih tha hoiah hang o moe, Angraeng to saphaw o.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and chiefs of the divisions, the aged, who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, while many, shouting for joy, raised aloud their voice:
Toe saning coeh kami, canghnii ih im hnu vai kami, qaimanawk, Levinawk, angmacae ih nawkamya kacoehtanawk mah, Sithaw im ahmuen sak amtong o boeh, tiah a hnuk o naah, tha hoiah qah o; paroeai kaminawk loe anghoehaih hoiah hangh o.
13 So that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard ever so far off.
Kaminawk loe qahhaih lok hoi anghoehaih lok to pathlaeng o thai ai; kaminawk loe tha hoiah hang o pongah, to loknawk to ahmuen kangthla hoiah doeh angthaih.
