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,
Nake Mũthamaki Dario akĩruta watho, naguo ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtuĩrio nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa yaigĩtwo mabuku ma maũndũ ma tene marĩa maigĩtwo nyũmba ya kĩgĩĩna kũu Babuloni.
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]:
Ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩkĩoneka kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki ya Ekibatana, bũrũri-inĩ wa Media. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ta ũũ: Ũhoro wa Kũririkanania:
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;
Mwaka wa mbere wa Mũthamaki Kurusu, mũthamaki nĩathanire ũhoro ũkoniĩ hekarũ ya Ngai kũu Jerusalemu, akiuga atĩrĩ: Hekarũ nĩyakwo rĩngĩ ĩrĩ handũ ha kũrutagĩrwo magongona, na mĩthingi yayo yakwo. Ĩkorwo ĩrĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kwarama,
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and let the outlay be given out of the king’s house.
ĩkorwo ĩrĩ na mĩhari ĩtatũ ya mahiga manene, na ũmwe wa mbaũ. Thogora ũcio ũrĩhwo kuuma kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki.
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.
Ningĩ indo cia thahabu na cia betha cia nyũmba ya Ngai iria Nebukadinezaru aakuuĩte kuuma hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Jerusalemu agĩcirehe Babuloni-rĩ, nĩicookio o kĩndũ harĩa kĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ kũu Jerusalemu; na mũciige thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai.
6 Now Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be far from here;
Na rĩrĩ, wee Tatenai barũthi wa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, hamwe na Shetharu-Bozenai, na inyuĩ, anene a thiritũ yao, mũtigathiĩ kuo.
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.
Mũtikaingĩrĩre wĩra ũcio wa hekarũ ya Ngai. Barũthi wa Ayahudi na athuuri a Ayahudi nĩmarekwo maake rĩngĩ nyũmba ĩyo ya Ngai o harĩa yaakĩtwo.
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;
O na ningĩ nĩndathana ũrĩa mũgwĩkĩra athuuri aya a Ayahudi magĩaka nyũmba ĩyo ya Ngai: Mahũthĩro mothe ma andũ acio nĩ marĩhwo kuuma kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki kĩa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, nĩgeetha wĩra ũyũ ndũkanarũgame.
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,
Kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩngĩendekana, tũtegwa, na ndũrũme, na tũtũrũme; cia kũrutwo maruta ma njino kũrĩ Ngai wa igũrũ, na ngano, na cumbĩ, na ndibei, na maguta, o ta ũrĩa ingĩĩtio nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai kũu Jerusalemu no nginya maheagwo o mũthenya itekwaga,
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.
nĩgeetha marutage magongona ma gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Ngai wa igũrũ, na mahooyagĩre kũgaacĩra kwa mũthamaki na ariũ ake.
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.
Ningĩ nĩndathana atĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩgarũra maandĩko macio, mũitĩrĩro ũkaarutwo nyũmba-inĩ yake na acooke oywo na igũrũ ohanĩtio naguo. Na nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia rĩu nyũmba yake ĩgaatuuo iganjo rĩa mahuti.
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.”
Ngai ũrĩa ũtũmĩte Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kũu aroeheria mũthamaki o wothe kana andũ arĩa mangĩgeria kũgarũra watho ũyũ kana kũharagania hekarũ ĩyo ĩrĩ Jerusalemu. Niĩ Dario nĩ niĩ ndaruta watho ũcio. Nĩwathĩkĩrwo na kĩyo.
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;
Ningĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa watho ũrĩa warutĩtwo nĩ Mũthamaki Dario, Tatenai barũthi wa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, na Shetharu-Bozenai, marĩ na athiritũ ao nĩmathĩkĩire watho ũcio na kĩyo.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri a Ayahudi magĩthiĩ o na mbere gwaka na kũgaacĩra makĩhunjagĩrio nĩ mũnabii Hagai, na Zekaria wa rũciaro rwa Ido. Makĩrĩkia gwaka hekarũ kũringana na rĩathani rĩa Ngai wa Isiraeli na watho wa Kurusu, na wa Dario, na wa Aritashashita, athamaki a Perisia.
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.
Hekarũ ĩyo yarĩkire mũthenya wa gatatũ wa mweri wa Adari, mwaka wa gatandatũ wa gũthamaka kwa Mũthamaki Dario.
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,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na andũ arĩa angĩ maatahĩtwo, magĩkũngũĩra kwamũrwo kwa nyũmba ya Ngai marĩ na gĩkeno.
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;
Indo iria maarutire nĩ ũndũ wa kwamũrwo kwa nyũmba ya Ngai ciarĩ ndegwa igana rĩmwe, na ndũrũme magana meerĩ, na tũtũrũme magana mana, irĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria Isiraeli othe mehia mao, na thenge ikũmi na igĩrĩ, o ĩmwe kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli.
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.
Nao magĩtoonyia athĩnjĩri-Ngai wĩra-inĩ kũringana na ikundi ciao, na Alawii kũringana na matuanĩra mao, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa gũtungatĩra Ngai kũu Jerusalemu o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Musa.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere, andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magĩkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka.
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.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii nĩmetheretie na othe maarĩ atheru. Alawii nĩo maathĩnjire gatũrũme ka Bathaka, nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa othe maatahĩtwo, na nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a ithe wao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na nĩ ũndũ wao ene.
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,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatahĩirwo makĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo, hamwe na arĩa othe meyamũranĩtie na mĩtugo ya thaahu ya ndũrĩrĩ iria mariganĩtie nacio nĩgeetha marongorie Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.
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.
Nĩmakũngũĩire Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia marĩ na gĩkeno ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, tondũ Jehova nĩamaiyũrĩtie gĩkeno nĩ ũndũ wa kũgarũra meciiria ma mũthamaki wa Ashuri, nake akĩmateithia wĩra-inĩ wa gwaka nyũmba ya Ngai, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli.
