Ezra 3
1 And the seventh month comes, and the sons of Israel [are] in the cities, and the people are gathered, as one man, to Jerusalem.
Mgbe o ruru ọnwa asaa nʼafọ, ndị Izrel nọkwa nʼobodo ha niile, ndị mmadụ zukọtara nʼotu na Jerusalem.
2 And Jeshua son of Jozadak rises, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, and they build the altar of the God of Israel, to cause to ascend on it burnt-offerings, as it is written in the Law of Moses, the man of God.
Mgbe ahụ, Jeshua, nwa Jozadak na ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ, na Zerubabel nwa Shealtiel na ndị na-enyere ya aka malitere iwugharị ebe ịchụ aja Chineke Izrel maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ya dịka Mosis onye nke Chineke si nye nʼiwu.
3 And they establish the altar on its bases, because of the fear on them of the peoples of the lands, and he causes burnt-offerings to ascend on it to YHWH, burnt-offerings for the morning and for the evening.
Nʼagbanyeghị oke egwu maka ndị niile gbara ha gburugburu, ha gara nʼihu wughachikwa ebe ịchụ aja ahụ na ntọala ya chụọkwa aja nʼelu ya nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ aja nsure ọkụ nke ụtụtụ na nke uhuruchi.
4 And they make the Celebration of the Shelters as it is written, and the burnt-offering of the day daily in number according to the ordinance, the matter of a day in its day;
Ha mekwara mmemme ụlọ Ikwu dịka e dere ya nʼiwu Mosis, chụọkwa aja nsure ọkụ dị iche iche nʼụbọchị niile nke mmemme ahụ.
5 and after this a continual burnt-offering, and for new moons, and for all appointed times of YHWH that are sanctified; and for everyone who is willingly offering a willing-offering to YHWH.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ nke a na-achụ mgbe niile, na nke aja maka ọnwa ọhụrụ, na aja ndị ọzọ maka mmemme ndị ọzọ dị nsọ a kara aka nke Onyenwe anyị. Ha chụkwara aja onyinye nke ha ji nye Onyenwe anyị onyinye afọ ofufu.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they have begun to cause burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH, and the temple of YHWH has not been founded,
Ndị nchụaja bidoro ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị nʼabalị mbụ nke ọnwa nke asaa. Ọ bụ ezie na a tọbeghị ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
7 and they give money to hewers and to craftsmen, and food, and drink, and oil to Zidonians and to Tyrians, to bring in cedar-trees from Lebanon to the Sea of Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus king of Persia concerning them.
Ha nyere ndị ọrụ na-edo nkume na ndị ọkpọ ǹtu ego, nyekwa ndị Saịdọn na ndị Taịa ihe oriri, na ihe ọṅụṅụ na mmanụ oliv, ka ha nwee ike isite nʼosimiri Lebanọn budata osisi sida ndị ahụ rute Jopa, dịka ikike Sairọs bụ eze Peshịa si kwadoo ya.
8 And in the second year of their coming to the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those coming from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appoint the Levites from a son of twenty years and upward, to overlook the work of the house of YHWH.
Nʼọnwa nke abụọ nke afọ abụọ site mgbe ha bịarutere nʼụlọ Chineke na Jerusalem. Mmadụ niile ahụ lọtara Juda so rụọ ọrụ. Zerubabel nwa Shealtiel, Jeshua nwa Jozadak na ndị fọdụrụ na ụmụnne ha, bụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na ndị niile si na ndọta nʼagha lọta Jerusalem, malitere ịrụ ọrụ ahụ. Ha họpụtara ndị Livayị niile gbara iri afọ abụọ rigoo ka ha lekọta ihe banyere ọrụ ụlọ Onyenwe anyị.
9 And Jeshua stands, [and] his sons, and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah together, to overlook those doing the work in the house of God; the sons of Henadad, [and] their sons and their brothers the Levites.
Jeshua na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, na ụmụnne ya, Kadmiel na ụmụ ya, ndị si nʼikwu Hodavaya, ha na ụmụ Henadad na ụmụ ha, na ụmụnna ha, ha niile bụ ndị Livayị, jikọtara aka na-elekọta ndị na-arụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ahụ.
10 And those building have founded the temple of YHWH, and they appoint the priests, clothed, with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise YHWH, by means of [the instruments of] David king of Israel.
Mgbe ndị na-ewu ụlọ tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, ndị nchụaja ahụ niile yii uwe ha jide opi nʼaka. Otu a kwa ndị Livayị, ụmụ ndị ikom Asaf jikwa ogene ha na-eto Onyenwe anyị dịka usoro iwu Devid, eze Izrel nyere ha si dị.
11 And they respond in praising and in giving thanks to YHWH, “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time over Israel!” And all the people have shouted [with] a great shout in giving praise to YHWH, because the house of YHWH has been founded.
Ha ji abụ otuto na ekele bụkuo Onyenwe anyị abụ sị: “Ọ dị mma, ịhụnanya ya nʼebe Izrel nọ na-adị ruo ebighị ebi.” Mmadụ niile jiri oke olu too Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ha tọrọ.
12 And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house—in this house being founded before their eyes—are weeping with a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the voice;
Ma ụfọdụ ndị merela agadi nʼetiti ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị, na ndị ndu nke ikwu dị iche iche, bụ ndị chetara ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ Solomọn wuru, kwara akwa hie nne, mgbe ndị ọzọ nọ na-eti mkpu ọṅụ.
13 and the people are not discerning the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people are shouting [with] a great shout, and the noise has been heard to a distance.
Ya mere, e sitere nʼebe dị nnọọ anya nụ ụzụ ọṅụ na ụda akwa ndị mmadụ ahụ. Ma o nweghị onye nwere ike ịkọwata nke bụ mkpu akwa maọbụ mkpu ọṅụ, nʼihi na ụzụ ahụ dị ukwuu.
