< Ezra 7 >
1 And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
Kum phabep jouvin Persia lengpa Artaxerxes vaihom laijin Ezra kiti khat ana um'in ahi. Ezra chu apa Seraiah ahin, Seraiah pa Hilkiah ahin,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
Hilkiah chu Shallum chapa ahin, Shallum chu Zadok chapa ahin, Zadok chu Ahitub chapa ahin,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
Ahitup chu Amariah chapa ahin, Amariah chu Azariah chapa ahin, Azariah chu Meraioth chapa ahin,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
Meraioth chu Zerahiah chapa ahin, Zerahiah chu Uzzi chapa ahin, Uzzi chu Bukki chapa ahin,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the head priest;
Bukki chu Abishua chapa ahin, Abishua chu Phinehas chapa ahin, Phinehas chu Eleazar chapa ahin, chule Eleazar chu thempu chungnung Aaron chapa ahi.
6 Ezra himself has come up from Babylon, and he [is] a scribe ready in the Law of Moses, that YHWH God of Israel gave, and the king gives to him—according to the hand of his God YHWH on him—all his request.
Hiche Ezra kitipa hi Babylon gamma konna hungtou ahin, amahi masang laiya Pakai Israel Pathen in Mose anapehsa daanthu chu kihilla themtah ahi, amahi Pakai a Pathen in akithopia akaile jeh'in ipi hijongleh aman angeh chan chu lengpan aphalpeh peh jenga ahi.
7 And there go up of the sons of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Artaxerxes lengpa vaihom kum sagi lhin kum in, Israel chate phabep le thempuho phabep jong, Leviho jong, lathem holeh kelkot ngah a pang miho jong, chule houin lhacha a pangho jong Jerusalem khopia ahung kitoltou cheh kit uvin ahi.
8 And he comes to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [is in] the seventh year of the king,
Ezra chu Persia lengpa Artarxerxes leng chan kal kum sagi lhin kum lha nga nan, Jerusalem khopi ahung lhungtan ahi.
9 for on the first of the month he has founded the ascent from Babylon, and on the first of the fifth month he has come to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him,
Aman kumthah ni masa niahi Babylon adalhah ahin, lha nga lhin nin Jerusalem ahung lhungtan ahi, ajeh chu Pathen mikhotona khut chun apuijin ahi.
10 for Ezra has prepared his heart to seek the Law of YHWH, and to do, and to teach in Israel statute and judgment.
Ezra hin ahinkho lhumkeiya Pakai daanthu chu asim in, amangchan chuleh Israel mipiho chun hiche daan thu hole chonchan thupeh ho jouse chu phatah a anit diu hi atup jing le ahil jing in ahi.
11 And this [is] a copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commands of YHWH, and of His statutes on Israel:
Artaxerxes lengpan noiya lekha thot hi thempu lekhathem Pakaiyin Israelte anapeh daan thuho hoitah a hetna Ezra chu anapen ahi.
12 “Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the Law of the God of the heavens, and at such a time:
Leng jouse lengpa Artaxerxes kitipa keiman Pathen daanthu hethem le lekha thempa Ezra henga kahin seijin kahin lemuve: -
13 By me has been made a decree that everyone who is willing, in my kingdom, of the people of Israel and of its priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem with you, go;
Kalenggam sung’a um Israel mipite leh thempuho chule Levite ho koi hijongleu chun Jerusalem langa nakile kit thei diuva kaphal peh nahi tauve.
14 because that from the king and his seven counselors you are sent, to inquire concerning Judah and concerning Jerusalem, with the Law of God that [is] in your hand,
Keimaleh ka thumop the mi sagi hon nakhut uva nachoiju Pathen daanthu dungjuija nanit soh u hinam ti kholchil dia Judah gamle Jerusalem sung kasol nahiuve.
15 and to carry silver and gold that the king and his counselors willingly offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling place [is] in Jerusalem,
Keihon nanghohi na Sana ule na dangka u jong nakipoh thei diuvin thaneina kapeuve hiche Jerusalem’a cheng Israel Pathen dia kiphal tah a kapedoh u ahiyenge.
16 and all the silver and gold that you find in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will offerings of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly, for the house of their God that [is] in Jerusalem,
Chujongle nanghon Babylon gamma konna nadon doh’u sana le dangka chule Israel mipite leh thempuhon Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin na dinga atodoh hou puma nakipoh doh ahi.
17 therefore you speedily buy with this money, bullocks, rams, lambs, and their presents, and their drink-offerings, and bring them near to the altar of the house of your God that [is] in Jerusalem,
Hichea kidongdoh ho chengsehi, nanghon bongchal, kelngoichal, kelngoi chuleh hange mim chohna namanchah diu hichengse chu Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin maicham’a nato doh diu ahi.
18 and that which to you and to your brothers is good to do with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God you do.
Hiche sana dangka ho naman val houchu nangho leh na mite chengin, na Pathenun adeilam tah uva chu namancha theiju ahi.
19 And the vessels that are given to you, for the service of the house of your God, make perfect before the God of Jerusalem;
Ahin khonho vang chu na Pathen henga Houin’a manchah dingin Jerusalem a Pathen kommah hin pelut soh keijun tia kanganse nahiuve.
20 and the rest of the necessary things of the house of your God, that it falls to you to give, you give from the treasure-house of the king.
Nanghon na Pathenu Houin na ding ahilouleh chutobang thildanga manchah dinga nangaichat u aumkhah tah jongleh leng inpi sumkholna a kon’in kilah jengun.
21 And by me—I Artaxerxes the king—is made a decree to all treasurers who [are] beyond the river, that all that Ezra the priest, scribe of the Law of the God of the heavens, asks of you, be done speedily:
Keima Artaxerxes lengpan Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaija sum chingho komma jong hiche thupeh ho kathotnin ahi. Nanghon thempu leh mihilla pang Ezra hin nakom uva angaichat jatjat napeh jengdiu ahi.
22 To silver one hundred talents, and to wheat one hundred cors, and to wine one hundred baths, and to oil one hundred baths, and salt without reckoning;
Nanghon amachu dangka pound sang sagi le ja nga changei, suhlou chang atena dim ja nga chuleh lengpi twi gallon ja ngai le som nga chujongleh olive thao gallon ja nga le som nga napehdiu chuleh chi adei jatjat jong napeh jengdiu ahi.
23 all that [is] by the decree of the God of the heavens, let be done diligently for the house of the God of the heavens; for why is there wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons?
Van Pathen in a Houin dinga angaichat ibola eihon lengpale achate chunga Pathen lunghan na ikoulhah diuham?
24 And to you we are making known, that on any of the priests and Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, and servants of the house of God, tribute and custom there is no authority to lift up.
Hiche to kimat a keiman kathupeh nom kit khat chu ahile, thempu, Levi, Lasa apang ho, Kelkot ngah ho, Houinna lhacha a pang ho chuleh Pathen Houin a natong dangho chu kai jatchom chomho apeh loudiu ahi.
25 And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God, that [is] in your hand, appoint magistrates—even judges who may be judging—judging all the people who are beyond the river, to all knowing the Law of your God, and he who has not known, you cause to know;
Chuleh Ezra nangmahi na Pathen in napeh nachihna chu naman chah a Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkai sunga um mipiho chunga vaihom ding Pathen daanthu hethemho thutan vaihom ding a napansah ding ahi.
26 and any who does not do the Law of your God, and the law of the king, judgment is done speedily on him, whether to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of riches, and to bonds.”
Koi hileh Pathen daanthu nitlou leh lengpa daanthu juilou hochu gangtah a athu kitanna, kithat ding, ahilouleh kinodoh ding, ahilou jongleh anei agou kilahpeh ding ahilouleh songkul’a kikhum ding ahi,” ati.
27 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of our fathers, who has given such a thing as this in the heart of the king, to beautify the house of YHWH that [is] in Jerusalem,
Hichun Ezra in jong, “Ipu ipateo Pathen chu thangvah in umhen ajeh chu aman lengpa amangchan Jerusalem’a Pakai houin asemhoi tan ahi!
28 and to me has stretched out kindness before the king and his counselors, and before all the mighty heads of the king: and I have strengthened myself as the hand of my God YHWH [is] on me, and I gather out of Israel heads to go up with me.
Amachu thangvah in umhen ajeh chu alungsetna tanglou vin eimusah in, lengpa leh amilen amilal ho masanga eidom sangin hijeh chun keima tilkhouvin kaumin chuleh ka Pathen leh ka Pakai khotona khutchu kachunga aum jingin ahi. Hiti chun keiman Israel mite lamkai hochu kakou khommin Jerusalem lang’ah kakile taovin ahi.” ati.
