Ezra 6
1 Then gave king Darius an order, that they should make search in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up there in Babylon.
Atalandira mawuwo mfumu Dariyo anapereka lamulo ndipo kafukufuku anachitikadi ku Babuloni mʼnyumba yosungira chuma ndi mabuku ambiri yakale.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the castle that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written: A record.
Ndipo ku Ekibatana, likulu la dera la Mediya, kunapezeka mpukutu mmene munalembedwa kuti, Chikumbutso:
3 In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus gave an order concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid: its height shall be sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits,
Mʼchaka choyamba cha ufumu wa Koresi, mfumuyo inapereka lamulo lokhudza Nyumba ya Mulungu mu Yerusalemu. Analamula kuti Nyumba ya Mulungu imangidwenso kukhala malo woperekerako nsembe. Maziko ake amangidwe kolimba pa malo pomwe paja pali maziko ake akale ndipo mulitali mwake mukhale mamita 27, mulifupi mwake mukhale mamita 27.
4 With three rows of heavy stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
Mumange mizere itatu ya miyala yayikulu ndi mzere umodzi wa matabwa, ndalama zake zolipirira ntchitoyo zichokere mʼthumba la ufumu.
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took away out of the temple which is in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought back unto the temple which is in Jerusalem, every one to its place, and let them be put in the house of God.
Ndipo ziwiya zagolide ndi zasiliva za ku Nyumba ya Mulungu zimene Nebukadinezara anatenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu kupita nazo ku Babuloni, zonsezi zibwezedwe ndipo zipite ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu. Chilichonse chikabwezedwe pamalo pake mʼNyumbayo.
6 Now Thathnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from there:
Tsopano Tatenai, bwanamkubwa wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate ndiponso Setari-Bozenai pamodzi ndi anzanu muchokeko kumeneko.
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 on its site.
Ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulunguyi muyileke. Mulekeni bwanamkubwa wa Ayuda ndiponso akuluakulu a Ayuda kuti amangenso Nyumba ya Mulunguyo pamalo pake.
8 And by me is the order given what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God, that out of the king's property, arising out of the tax beyond the river, the expenses shall forthwith be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Kuwonjezera pamenepo, ndikukhazikitsa lamulo lonena za mmene mudzachitire ndi akuluakulu a Ayuda powathandiza kumanganso Nyumba ya Mulunguyo: Anthuwa muwalipire msanga kuchokera mʼthumba la ufumu, kuchotsa pa msonkho wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate.
9 And what they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings unto the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the requirement of the priests who are a Jerusalem, shall be given unto them day by day, without fail.
Ndipo zonse zofunikira monga, ana angʼombe, nkhosa zazimuna, ana ankhosa aamuna zoperekera nsembe yopsereza kwa Mulungu wakumwamba, ndi tirigu, mchere, vinyo ndi mafuta monga mmene ansembe a ku Yerusalemu angafunire, muziwapatsa zimenezo tsiku ndi tsiku ndipo musamalephere kutero.
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
Zikatero ndiye kuti azipereka nsembe za fungo lokomera Mulungu wakumwamba ndi kupempherera moyo wa mfumu ndi ana ake.
11 Also is by me the order given, that if any man should alter this command, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and being set up, he shall be hanged thereon; and his house shall be made a dunghill for this.
Ndikulamulanso kuti ngati wina asintha zimene ndalamulazi, mtanda umodzi wa nyumba yake udzasololedwa ndi kumunkhomera pamenepo ndipo nyumba yake adzayisandutse dzala.
12 And may the God that causeth his name to dwell there cast down every king and people that will stretch forth their hand to alter, to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius have given the order: let it be done speedily.
Mulungu amene anasankha kuti anthu azimupembedza pa malo amenewa, achotse mfumu iliyonse kapena munthu aliyense amene adzasinthe zimenezi kapena kuwononga Nyumba ya Mulungu ya ku Yerusalemuko. Ine Dariyo ndikuyika lamuloli, aliyense alitsate mosamala kwambiri.
13 Then did Thathnai the, governor on this aide of the river, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, in accordance with what king Darius had sent, act in this manner speedily.
Tsono potsata zomwe analamula mfumu Dariyo, Tatenai bwanamkubwa wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate, Setari-Bozenai ndi anzawo anatsatira mosamala kwambiri zimene mfumu Dariyo analamula.
14 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of 'Iddo. And they built, and completed it, according to the order of the God of Israel, and according to the order of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
Ndipo akuluakulu a Ayuda anapitiriza ntchito yomanga ija molimbikitsidwa ndi aneneri Hagai ndi Zekariya mwana wa Ido. Anamaliza ntchito yomanga Nyumbayo, monga momwe Mulungu wa Israeli analamulira ndiponso potsata lamulo la Koresi, Dariyo ndi Aritasasita, mafumu a ku Perisiya.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
Anatsiriza kumanga Nyumbayo pa tsiku lachitatu la mwezi wa Adara mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi cha ulamuliro wa mfumu Dariyo.
16 Then celebrated the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the exile, the dedication of this house of God with joy;
Choncho Aisraeli, ansembe, Alevi ndi anthu ena onse amene anali atabwerako ku ukapolo, anachita chikondwerero chopereka Nyumba ya Mulungu mwachimwemwe.
17 And they offered for the dedication of this house of God one 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.
Poporeka Nyumba ya Mulunguyi, anthu anapereka nsembe za ngʼombe zazimuna 100, nkhosa zazimuna 200, ana ankhosa aamuna 400. Anaperekanso mbuzi zazimuna 12 ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo a anthu onse, potsata chiwerengero cha mafuko a Israeli.
18 And they stationed the priests in their orders, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ndipo anakhazikitsa ansembe ndi Alevi pa ntchito zawo zotumikira Mulungu mu Yerusalemu monga zinalembedwera mʼbuku la Mose.
19 And the children of the exile prepared the passover-[sacrifice] on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Pa tsiku la khumi ndi chinayi la mwezi woyamba, obwera ku ukapolo aja anachita chikondwerero cha Paska.
20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, as one man were all of them clean; and they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice for all the children of the exile, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ansembe ndi Alevi anali atadziyeretsa ndipo onsewo anali oyeretsedwa. Alevi anapha mwana wankhosa wa Paska kuphera onse amene anatuluka ku ukapolo, ansembe anzawo ndi iwo eni.
21 And then did the children of Israel, who were returned out of the exile, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the uncleanness of the nations of the earth, to seek the Lord the God of Israel, eat thereof.
Nkhosa ya Paskayo anayidya ndi Aisraeli onse amene anatuluka ku ukapolo, wina aliyense amene anaphatikana nawo atadziyeretsa ku zonyansa za mitundu ina ya anthu akunja a mʼdzikomo kuti apembedze Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
22 And they celebrated the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Asshur toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Choncho pa masiku asanu ndi awiri anasangalala pa chikondwerero cha buledi wopanda yisiti, chifukwa Yehova anawadzaza ndi chimwemwe. Iye anatembenuza mtima wa mfumu ya ku Asiriya motero kuti iyo inakomera mtima Aisraeli ndi kuwathandiza ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulungu, Mulungu wa Israeli.
