Ezra 5
1 Then prophesied Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of 'Iddo, the prophets, unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, concerning them.
In pacl sac mwet palu luo, Haggai ac Zechariah wen natul Iddo, eltal mutawauk in kaskas ke Inen God lun Israel nu sin mwet Jew su muta in Judah ac Jerusalem.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
Ke Zerubbabel wen natul Shealtiel, ac Joshua wen natul Jehozadak, eltal lohng kas laltal, eltal mutawauk in sifil musai Tempul Jerusalem, ac mwet palu luo ah kasreltal.
3 At this same time came to them Thathnai, the governor on this side of the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, and thus they said unto them, “Who hath given you an order to build this house, and to complete these walls?”
Na Governor Tattenai lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, ac Shethar Bozenai, ac mwet pwapa wialos, elos sulaklak tuku nu Jerusalem ac kouyak fahk, “Su sap kowos in musai Tempul se inge ac sang kufwa nu kac?”
4 Then said we unto them after this manner, what are the names of the men that erect this building.
Elos oayapa siyuk inen mukul nukewa su wi musai Tempul sac.
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they did not stop them, till the matter came to Darius; and they then returned an answer by letter concerning this.
Tusruktu God El tawi na mwet kol lun mwet Jew, ac mwet pwapa Persia elos sulela mu elos ac tia mukuikui kac nwe ke elos sim nu sin Tokosra Fulat Darius ac eis kas sel.
6 A copy of the letter which Thathnai, the governor on this side of the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions, the Apharsachites, who were on this side of the river, sent unto king Darius.
Pa inge kas ma elos supwala nu sel tokosra fulat:
7 They sent a report unto him, and thus was it written therein: Unto king Darius be all peace.
“Nu sin Tokosra Fulat Darius, lela tokosrai lom in misla.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which they are building with heavy stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is urged with speed, and it prospereth in their hands.
“Kut ke kom in etu lah kut som nu in acn Judah ac konauk lah Tempul lun God fulat sifil musaiyuk inge ke eot maspang lulap ac ke sak maspang lulap oakwuki in sinka uh. Arulana oaru oreyen orekma uh, ac fahsr na ku.
9 Then asked we these elders, and after this manner said we unto them, Who hath given you the order to build this house, and to complete these walls?
“Kut tuh siyuk sin mwet kol lalos in fahk nu sesr lah su sapkin tuh elos in sifil musai Tempul sac ac sang kufwa nu kac.
10 Also their names did we ask of them, to let thee know them, that we might write down the names of the men that are at their head.
Kut oayapa siyuk selos inen mwet kol orekma uh kut in mau ku pac in akkalemye nu sum.
11 And in this manner did they return us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we build the house that was built before this many years, and a great king of Israel built and completed it.
“Elos topuk ac fahk, ‘Kut mwet kulansap lun God lun kusrao ac faclu, ac kut sifil musai Tempul se su nuna musala ac itukyang kufwa nu kac yac puspis somla sin sie tokosra na ku lun Israel.
12 But since our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them up into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people as exiles into Babylon.
Tuh ke sripen mwet matu lasr meet ah akkasrkusrakye God lun Kusrao, El fuhlela elos in sruoh sin Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia, sie sin leum lun Chaldea. Tempul sac tuh kunausyukla, ac utukla mwet uh nu in sruoh Babylonia.
13 However, in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus gave an order to build this house of God.
Na in yac se meet ke Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el leumi acn Babylonia, el sapkin tuh Tempul uh in sifil musaiyuk.
14 And also the vessels of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought into the temple of Babylon, these did king Cyrus take out of the temple of Babylon, and gave them unto one, Sheshbazzar by name, whom he had appointed as governor;
El sifil folokunla ahlu gold ac silver ke Tempul su Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla liki Tempul Jerusalem ac filiya in tempul in Babylon. Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el folokonang ma inge nu sin mwet se pangpang Sheshbazzar, su el srisrngiya in governor lun Judah.
15 And he said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple which is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built on its site.
Tokosra Fulat el fahkang nu sel elan us ma inge ac folokunla nu in Tempul Jerusalem, oayapa elan sifil musaeak Tempul fin acn se ma tu we meet ah.
16 Then came this same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and from that time even until now they have been building it, but it is not yet finished.
Ouinge Sheshbazzar el som ac oakiya pwelung la. Na musa sac tutafla in pacl sac me nwe inge, tusruktu soenna safla.’
17 And now, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that an order was given by king Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send to us his pleasure concerning this matter.
“Inge, O Tokosra Fulat, fin ou lungse lom, sap in sukok in ma simla ke sramsram matu Babylon, tuh in kalem lah pwaye ku sutuu lah Tokosra Fulat Cyrus pa sapkin tuh Tempul se in Jerusalem inge in sifilpa musaiyuk. Na kom fah akkalemye nu sesr lah mea kom nunku mu fal in orek ke sripa se inge.”
