Ezra 5
1 And the prophets have prophesied (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) to the Jews who [are] in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the Name of the God of Israel—to them.
To naah tahmaa Haggai hoi Iddo ih caa maeto tahmaa Zekariah mah Judah prae ah kaom Judah kaminawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Israel Sithaw ih ahmin hoiah lokthuih.
2 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, have risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting them.
To pacoengah Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi Jozadak capa Jeshua mah, Jerusalem ih Sithaw im to sak amtong hoi let; Sithaw ih tahmaanawk mah nihcae to abomh o.
3 At that time have come to them Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, “Who has made for you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”
To naah vapui yaeh ukkung Tatnai, Shethar-Boznai hoi angmacae ih ampuinawk loe caeh o moe, hae ih im sak let thaihaih akaa mi mah maw ang paek? tiah a naa o.
4 Then we have said thus to them, “What [are] the names of the men who are building this building?”
To im sah kaminawk ih ahmin loe mi cae maw? tiah kaicae khaeah ang dueng o.
5 And the eye of their God has been on [the] elders of [the] Jews, and they have not caused them to cease until [the] matter goes to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.
Toe Judah kacoehtanawk nuiah Sithaw ih mik to oh pongah, Darius khaeah ca tarik ih pathimhaih pha ai karoek to, nihcae loe toksah ai ah om o sut ai.
6 The copy of a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, has sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, to Darius the king.
Vapui yaeh ukkung Tatnai, Shethar-Boznai hoi nihcae ih ampuinawk, vapui yaeh ah kaom angraengnawk mah ca tarik o moe, Darius siangpahrang khaeah pat pae o.
7 A letter they have sent to him, and thus is it written in it:
Anih khaeah tarik ih ca pongah, Darius siangpahrang, monghaih om nasoe.
8 “To Darius the king, all peace! Be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.
Kaicae loe Judah prae ih, kalensawk Sithaw im ah ka caeh o naah, to kaminawk loe im to kalen parai thlung hoiah a sak o moe, sipae nuiah doeh thingnawk to a koeng o boeh; nihcae loe karangah tok a sak o moe, a sak o ih tok loe paroeai hmacawn boeh, tiah panoek ah.
9 Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who has made for you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?
Kacoehtanawk khaeah, Hae ih im hoi sipaenawk sak let hanah mi mah maw sak thaihaih akaa ang paek? tiah lok ka dueng o.
10 And also their names we have asked of them, to let you know, that we might write the names of the men who [are] at their head.
Na panoek thaih moe, zaehoikung kacoehtanawk ih ahmin tarik hanah, nihcae ih ahmin to ka dueng o.
11 And thus they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of the heavens and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:
To naah nihcae mah hae tiah ang thuih o; Kaicae loe van hoi long Sithaw ih tamna ah ka oh o; canghniah kalensawk Israel siangpahrang mah sak ih im to ni ka sak o let.
12 but after that our fathers made the God of the heavens angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed to Babylon;
Kam panawk mah van Sithaw to palungphui o sak pongah, nihcae to Khaldea kami, Nebukhadnezzar Babylon siangpahrang ban ah paek; anih mah hae im hae a phraek moe, kaminawk to Babylon prae ah a caeh haih.
13 but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God,
Toe Babylon siangpahrang Sairas mah siangpahrang ah oh amtong tangsuekhaih saning ah, hae Sithaw im hae sak let hanah lok a paek.
14 and also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them has Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made governor,
Nebukhadnezzar mah Jerusalem im thung hoi Sithaw im ih laom sabaenawk to lak moe, Babylon tempul thungah a suek; to tiah a suek ih sui, sumkanglung hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk to, Sairas siangpahrang mah Babylon tempul thung hoiah lak moe, prae ukkung ah a suek ih, Sheshbazzar khaeah paek let;
15 and said to him, Lift up these vessels, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is built on its place.
anih khaeah, Hae hmuennawk hae sin ah loe, Jerusalem im thungah suem let ah; Sithaw im to a ohhaih ahmuen ah sah let ah, tiah a naa.
16 Then this Sheshbazzar has come—he has laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from there even until now it has been building, and is not finished.
To pongah Sheshbazzar mah caeh moe, Jerusalem ih Sithaw im ahmuen to sak let; to na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to im to ka sak o, toe ka pacoeng o thai ai vop, tiah ang naa o.
17 And now, if it is good to the king, let a search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that there was a decree made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he sends to us.”
Vaihi siangpahrang koehhaih baktiah om nahaeloe, Babylon siangpahrang ih hmuenmae pakuemhaih cabu pongah, Jerusalem ah Sithaw im sak let hanah Sairas siangpahrang ih lok takroekhaih oh tangtang maw, tito pakrong ah loe, siangpahrang koehhaih dan kaicae khaeah ca nang pat let nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah ca tarik o.
