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,
Enti ɔhene Dario hyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Babilonia nneɛma dedaw akorae hɔ faako a wɔkora nneɛma a ɛsom bo no.
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]:
Na Ekbatana aban a ɛwɔ Mediaman no mu hɔ no na wohuu krataa mmobɔwee bi. Na emu nsɛm ni: Amanneɛbɔ krataa:
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;
Ɔhene Kores dii ade nʼafe a edi so no, wɔhyɛɛ mmara faa Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ho. Ɛkae se ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan si no wɔ beae a na Yudafo bɔ wɔn afɔre hɔ, wɔ fapem dedaw no so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, na ne trɛw nso anammɔn aduɔkron.
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and let the outlay be given out of the king’s house.
Abo a wɔasiesie no sononko no mmeaso abiɛsa biara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nnua gu. Na adehye foto mu na wobefi atua ho ka.
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.
Sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nkuku ne nkaka a Nebukadnessar tase fii Onyankopɔn asɔredan a esi Yerusalem no mu de kɔɔ Babilonia no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de kɔ Yerusalem, de kogu Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu sɛnea na ɛte no.
6 Now Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be far from here;
Na ɔhene Dario de saa nkra yi somae: Mede krataa yi kɔma amrado Tatenai a ɔwɔ asu Eufrate agya ne Setar-Bosnai ne mo mfɛfo ne mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ Eufrate agya sɛ monnkɔ hɔ.
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.
Monnkotwintwan Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si anan mu. Wonsi no wɔ beae dedaw mu hɔ ara, na monntoto Yuda amrado ne Yudafo mpanyimfo anan mu wɔ adwuma no yɛ ho.
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;
Na mesan hyɛ mo bio sɛ, mommoa saa Yudafo mpanyimfo no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ mutua adansi no ho ka nyinaa fi tow a mugyigye fi mo man mu a monntwentwɛn so koraa, sɛnea adwuma no yɛ renka.
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,
Biribiara a ɛho hia asɔfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem, sɛ ebia, nantwimma, adwennini ne nguantenmma a wɔde bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsorosoro no, momfa mma wɔn. Afei, momma wɔn atoko, nkyene, nsa ne ngo a ɛho behia wɔn da biara a monnto mu.
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.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, wobetumi abɔ afɔre a ɛsɔ ani ama ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn, na wɔabɔ mpae ama me ne me mmabarima.
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.
Wɔn a wobebu mmara no so wɔ ɔkwan biara so no, wobeyi wɔn adan so mpuran, na wɔde wɔn abobɔ mu, abɔ wɔn mmaa, ama wɔn afi adwiriw, adan sumina siw.
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.”
Onyankopɔn a wayi Yerusalem kurow sɛ beae a wɔnhyɛ ne din anuonyam no nsɛe ɔhene anaa ɔman biara a wobebu ne mmara so, asɛe asɔredan no. Me Dario na mahyɛ saa mmara yi. Ma ɔmanfo ntie no aso pa mu.
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;
Na Tatenai a ɔyɛ asu Eufrate agya amrado ne Setar-Bosnai ne ne mfɛfo dii Dario mmara a ɔhyɛɛ no so prɛko pɛ.
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.
Enti Yudafo mpanyimfo toaa wɔn dwumadi no so na asɛm a adiyifo Hagai ne Ido babarima Sakaria kae no hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Na wowiee asɔredan no si, sɛnea Israel Nyankopɔn hyɛe na Kores, Dario ne Persiahene Artasasta hyɛɛ mmara no.
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.
Wowiee asɔredan no si wɔ Abib (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛto so dumien, ɔhene Dario ahenni mfe asia so.
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,
Israelfo, asɔfo, Lewifo ne nnipa no nkae a wofi nnommum mu aba no de ahosɛpɛw too Onyankopɔn asɔredan no din.
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;
Onyankopɔn asɔredan no dinto afahyɛ no mu no, wɔde nantwimma ɔha, adwennini ahannu ne nguantenmma ahannan bɔɔ afɔre. Na wɔmaa mmirekyi dumien sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde, de gyinaa hɔ maa Israel mmusuakuw dumien no.
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.
Na wɔkyekyɛɛ asɔfo ne Lewifo no mu, sɛnea wɔn akuw ahorow te no ma wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu wɔ Yerusalem, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose Nhoma mu no.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so aduonu baako no, wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no dii Twam Afahyɛ.
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.
Asɔfo no ne Lewifo no dwiraa wɔn ho maa wɔn ho tew maa afahyɛ no. Enti wokum Twam Afahyɛ guamma maa wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no nyinaa ne asɔfo a wɔaka ne wɔn ankasa wɔn ho.
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,
Nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel a wofi nnommum mu aba no ne nnipa no nkae a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu no a wɔadan afi wɔn amumɔyɛ akwan ho abɛsom Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, no na wodii twam aduan no.
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.
Wodii Twam Afahyɛ aduan no, na wɔde nnanson nso dii Apiti Afahyɛ no. Ahosɛpɛw baa ɔman no mmaa nyinaa, efisɛ Awurade sakraa Asiriahene adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ wɔn ho ma ɔboaa wɔn sii Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn, asɔredan no.
