< 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,
Bangʼ gigi duto, e kinde mar loch Artaksases ruodh Pasia, Ezra wuod Seraya, ma wuod Azaria, ma wuod Hilkia,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
ma wuod Shalum, ma wuod Zadok, ma wuod Ahitub,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
ma wuod Amaria, ma wuod Azaria, ma wuod Merayoth,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
ma wuod Zerahia, ma wuod Uzi, ma wuod Buki,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the head priest;
ma wuod Abishua, ma wuod Finehas, ma wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo maduongʼ;
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.
Ezra-ni noduogo koa Babulon. Ne en japuonj man-gi lony mathoth kuom Chik Musa, ma Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nochiwo. Ruoth nomiye gimoro amora mano kwayo, nimar lwet Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasache ne ni kuome.
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.
Jo-Israel mamoko, kaachiel gi jodolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach kod jotij hekalu, bende nobiro Jerusalem e higa mar abiriyo mar Ruoth Artaksases.
8 And he comes to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [is in] the seventh year of the king,
Ezra nochopo Jerusalem e dwe mar abich mar higa mar abiriyo mar ruoth.
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,
Nochako wuodhe koa Babulon e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo, kendo nochopo Jerusalem e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abich, nimar lwedo mangʼwon mar Nyasache ne ni kuome.
10 for Ezra has prepared his heart to seek the Law of YHWH, and to do, and to teach in Israel statute and judgment.
Nimar Ezra nosechiwore owuon ne somo matut kendo rito Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye, kod puonjo chikene gi buchene e Israel.
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:
Ma e baruwa machalre gi mane mane Ruoth Artaksases omiyo Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj, ngʼatno mosomo weche maluwore gi chike kod buche Jehova Nyasaye ne Israel:
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:
Artaksases, ruoth mar ruodhi, Ne Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj mar Chik Nyasach Polo: Amosi.
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;
Koro achiwo chik ni ja-Israel moro amora manie pinya, kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, madwaro dhi Jerusalem kodi, nyalo dhi.
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,
Oori gi ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko abiriyo mondo inon wach kaka Juda gi Jerusalem dhi kaluwore gi chik Nyasachi manie lweti.
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,
To bende, nyaka idhi gi fedha kod dhahabu ma ruoth gi jongʼadne rieko osechiwo kuom hero mag-gi giwegi ne Nyasach Israel, ma kar dak mare en Jerusalem,
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,
kaachiel gi fedha gi dhahabu duto ma unyalo yudo koa e gwengʼ mar Babulon, kanyakla gi chiwo ma ji kod jodolo golo ma en chiwo mar hera ne hekalu mar Nyasachgi e Jerusalem.
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,
Gi pesani nyaka ine ni ingʼiewo rwedhi, imbe kod nyithi rombe machwo, kanyakla gi chiwo mag-gi mag cham kod misango miolo piny, kendo gitimgo misango ewi kendo mar hekalu mar Nyasachi e Jerusalem.
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.
In kod oweteni ma jo-Yahudi unyalo timo gima uneno ka ber gi fedha gi dhahabu modongʼ, kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasachi.
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;
Chiwne Nyasach Jerusalem gigo duto moket e lweti mar dendo Nyasaye e hekalu mar Nyasachi.
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.
Kendo gimoro amora midwaro mar hekalu mar Nyasachi ma inyalo bedo gi thuolo mar chiwo, inyalo chiwe koa e keno ma ka ruoth.
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:
Koro an, Ruoth Artaksases, achiwo chik ni kuonde keno duto mag Yufrate ochiw gi chia gimoro amora ma Ezra jadolo, japuonj Chik mar Nyasach polo, nyalo kwayou, kaka
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;
fedha madirom kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen, gunde mag ngano ma pek romo kilo alufu apar gaboro, divai maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, mo maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, kod chumbi mathoth ma ok nyal pim.
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?
Gimoro amora ma Nyasach polo osechano, we otime gi chia ne hekalu mar Nyasach polo. En angʼo momiyo mirima dibed kuom pinyruoth gi yawuote?
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.
Bende nyaka ingʼe ni ionge gi teko mar chuno ji golo osuru, kata chiwo kata chudo ewi jadolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach, jatij hekalu moro amora kata jotich mamoko e odni mar Nyasaye.
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;
To in, Ezra, kaluwore gi rieko matut mar Nyasachi, ma in godo, yier jongʼad bura matindo kod jongʼad bura madongo mondo ongʼad bura gadiera ne jo-Yufrate duto, ma gin joma ongʼeyo chike Nyasachi. Kendo nyaka ipuonj ngʼato angʼata mokia chikego.
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.”
Ngʼato angʼata ma ok luor chik Nyasachi kod chik ruoth nyaka kume e yor tho, dare, pe gige, kata tere e od twech.
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,
Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwerewa, moseketo e chuny ruoth mondo luor obed ne od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem e yo machalo kama
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.
kendo moserieyo lwete maber mar ngʼwono ne an e nyim ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko kod jotend ruoth maroteke mondo omiya luor. Nikech lwet Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha neni kuoma, ne abedo gi chir mi achoko jotelo duto moa Israel mondo odhi koda.
