Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the scrolls of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
Tete Fia Darius de se, eye wotsa le nyaŋlɔɖigbalẽ xoxo siwo wodzra ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒe la me le Babilonia.
2 and there has been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a scroll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
Woke ɖe lãgbalẽgbalẽ aɖe ŋu le Ekbatana ƒe fiasã si le Media nuto la me. Esiae nye nu si woŋlɔ ɖe eme: Ŋkuɖodzinya:
3 “In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king has made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: let the house be built in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
Le Fia Sirus ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, fia la de se ku ɖe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ si le Yerusalem ŋuti be: Migbugbɔ gbedoxɔ la tu wòanye teƒe si woasa vɔ le, miɖo eƒe gɔmeɖokpewo anyi. Nekɔ mita blaeve-vɔ-adre eye wòakeke mita blaeve-vɔ-adre.
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and let the outlay be given out of the king’s house.
Woatsɔ kpe gãwo aɖo gɔmeɖokpe lae, eye woaɖoe ɖe wo nɔewo dzi zi etɔ̃, ale be ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia nanye ati sesẽwo. Woatsɔ ga le fia la ƒe gaɖaka me axe fee ɖe dɔ la ta.
5 And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, woatrɔ klosalonu kple sikanu siwo nɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe la me, esiwo Nebukadnezar lɔ le gbedoxɔ la me le Yerusalem, yi ɖe Babiloniae la aɖada ɖe wo nɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la me le Yerusalem; woakɔ wo ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me.
6 Now Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be far from here;
Ke azɔ la, wò, Tatenai, mɔmefia si le Frat tɔsisi la godo kple wò, Setar Bozenai kple mi woƒe dɔnunɔla siwo le nuto ma me la, migaka afɔ afi ma o.
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and [the] elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
Miɖe asi le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ si tum wole la ƒe nya me. Miɖe mɔ be Yudatɔwo ƒe mɔmefia kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo nagbugbɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe sia atu ɖe teƒe si wònɔ tsã.
8 And a decree is made by me concerning that which you do with [the] elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of [the] riches of [the] king, that [are] of [the] tribute beyond [the] river, let the outlay be given speedily to these men, that they do not cease;
Gawu la, mele se dem be, esiawo miawɔ na Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu me: Woaxe ame siawo ƒe nugbegblẽwo katã tso fia la ƒe gaɖaka si me wodea nudzɔdzɔwoe le Frat tɔsisi la godo me, ale be dɔa matɔ te o.
9 and what they are needing—both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem—let be given to them day by day without fail,
Woatsɔ nyitsui, agbo kple agbovi siwo wohiãna na numevɔsawo na dziƒo Mawu la kpe ɖe wɔ, dze, wain kple ami siwo nunɔla siwo le Yerusalem hiãna gbe sia gbe la ŋu na wo, mada le edzi o.
10 that they are bringing sweet savors near to the God of the heavens, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Ale be woate ŋu asa vɔ siwo adze dziƒo Mawu la ŋu la nɛ, eye woado gbe ɖa ɖe fia la kple via ŋutsuwo ta be woanɔ dedie.
11 And a decree is made by me, that anyone who changes this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be struck on it, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Gawu la, mele se dem be ame si atrɔ sedede sia la, woaɖe ati le eƒe xɔ me, eye woatu ati la ɖe tome, aklãe ɖe eŋuti, eye le nu vɔ̃ sia ta la, woagbã eƒe aƒe wòazu aɖukpo.
12 And God, who caused His Name to dwell there, casts down any king and people that puts forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; let it be done speedily.”
Mawu, ame si na be yeƒe Ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma la, naɖe fia le zi dzi alo dukɔ si akɔ eƒe asi dzi be yeatrɔ sedede sia alo agbã gbedoxɔ sia le Yerusalem. Nye Darius de se sia. Ele be woawɔe kple mo vevi ɖoɖo.
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king has sent, so they have done speedily;
Le sedede si Fia Darius ɖo ɖa ta la, Tatenai, mɔmefia si le Frat tɔsisi la godo, Setar Bozeni kple wo ŋutimewo wɔ sedede la menyawo dzi kple mo vevi ɖoɖo.
14 and [the] elders of [the] Jews are building and prospering through [the] prophecy of Haggai [the] prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by [the] decree of [the] God of Israel, and by [the] decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ale Yuda dumegãwo yi xɔa tutu dzi, eye to Nyagblɔɖila Hagai kple Zekaria, Ido ƒe dzidzimevi ƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ me la, nuwo dze edzi nyuie. Le Israel ƒe Mawu kple Sirus, Darius kple Artazerses, Persia fiawo ƒe sededewo nu la, wowu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu.
15 And this house has gone out until the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Wowu enu le dzinu Adar ƒe ŋkeke etɔ̃lia dzi le Fia Darius ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe adelia me.
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
Tete Israel dukɔ la katã, nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple ame siwo gbɔ tso aboyome la ɖu Mawu ƒe aƒe la ŋuti kɔkɔ ƒe azã la kple aseyetsotso.
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God: one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and twelve young male goats for a sin-offering for all Israel according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
Wotsɔ nyitsu alafa ɖeka, agbo alafa eve kple alẽvi alafa ene sa vɔe le gbedoxɔ la ŋuti kɔkɔ me, eye abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ɖe Israel blibo la ta ene la, wotsɔ gbɔ̃tsu wuieve ɖe Israel ƒe to wuieveawo nu sa vɔe,
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the scroll of Moses.
eye woɖo nunɔlaawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me kple Levitɔwo ɖe woƒe memamawo me hena Mawu ƒe dɔwo wɔwɔ le Yerusalem, ɖe nu si woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe Agbalẽ la me nu.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Le dzinu gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe la, aboyometsolawo ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la.
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together—all of them [are] pure—and they slaughter the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Nunɔlaawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu, ale wo katã wonɔ kɔkɔe le se la nu. Levitɔwo wu Ŋutitotolẽvi la na aboyometsolawo katã, wo nɔvi nunɔlawo kple woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo.
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and everyone who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land to them, to seek to YHWH, God of Israel, eat,
Ale Israelvi siwo katã gbɔ tso aboyome la ɖui kple ame siwo katã kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu tso trɔ̃subɔla siwo dome wole ƒe kɔnyinyiwo me, be woadi Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.
22 and they make the Celebration of Unleavened Things seven days with joy, for YHWH made them to rejoice, and turned around the heart of the king of Asshur to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Woɖu abolo maʋamaʋã ŋkekenyui la kple aseyetsotso, elabena Yehowa tsɔ dzidzɔ yɔ woƒe dziwo me, eye wòna Asiria fia ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe wo ŋu, wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu le Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ƒe dɔwo me.
