< Ezra 5 >
1 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel they prophesied to them.
In pacl sac mwet palu luo, Haggai ac Zechariah wen natul Iddo, eltal mutawauk in kaskas ke Inen God lun Israel nu sin mwet Jew su muta in Judah ac Jerusalem.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build God's house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
Ke Zerubbabel wen natul Shealtiel, ac Joshua wen natul Jehozadak, eltal lohng kas laltal, eltal mutawauk in sifil musai Tempul Jerusalem, ac mwet palu luo ah kasreltal.
3 At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and their companions, and said thus to them, "Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?"
Na Governor Tattenai lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, ac Shethar Bozenai, ac mwet pwapa wialos, elos sulaklak tuku nu Jerusalem ac kouyak fahk, “Su sap kowos in musai Tempul se inge ac sang kufwa nu kac?”
4 Then they asked them, "What are the names of the men who are constructing this building?
Elos oayapa siyuk inen mukul nukewa su wi musai Tempul sac.
5 But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, until the matter should come to Daryavesh, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
Tusruktu God El tawi na mwet kol lun mwet Jew, ac mwet pwapa Persia elos sulela mu elos ac tia mukuikui kac nwe ke elos sim nu sin Tokosra Fulat Darius ac eis kas sel.
6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were beyond the River, sent to Daryavesh the king;
Pa inge kas ma elos supwala nu sel tokosra fulat:
7 they sent a letter to him, in which was written thus: To Daryavesh the king, all peace.
“Nu sin Tokosra Fulat Darius, lela tokosrai lom in misla.
8 Be it known to the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls; and this work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.
“Kut ke kom in etu lah kut som nu in acn Judah ac konauk lah Tempul lun God fulat sifil musaiyuk inge ke eot maspang lulap ac ke sak maspang lulap oakwuki in sinka uh. Arulana oaru oreyen orekma uh, ac fahsr na ku.
9 Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, "Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?"
“Kut tuh siyuk sin mwet kol lalos in fahk nu sesr lah su sapkin tuh elos in sifil musai Tempul sac ac sang kufwa nu kac.
10 We asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
Kut oayapa siyuk selos inen mwet kol orekma uh kut in mau ku pac in akkalemye nu sum.
11 Thus they returned us answer, saying, "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
“Elos topuk ac fahk, ‘Kut mwet kulansap lun God lun kusrao ac faclu, ac kut sifil musai Tempul se su nuna musala ac itukyang kufwa nu kac yac puspis somla sin sie tokosra na ku lun Israel.
12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Tuh ke sripen mwet matu lasr meet ah akkasrkusrakye God lun Kusrao, El fuhlela elos in sruoh sin Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia, sie sin leum lun Chaldea. Tempul sac tuh kunausyukla, ac utukla mwet uh nu in sruoh Babylonia.
13 But in the first year of Koresh king of Babylon, Koresh the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Na in yac se meet ke Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el leumi acn Babylonia, el sapkin tuh Tempul uh in sifil musaiyuk.
14 The gold and silver vessels also of God's house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Koresh the king took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
El sifil folokunla ahlu gold ac silver ke Tempul su Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla liki Tempul Jerusalem ac filiya in tempul in Babylon. Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el folokonang ma inge nu sin mwet se pangpang Sheshbazzar, su el srisrngiya in governor lun Judah.
15 and he said to him, 'Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God's house be built in its place.'
Tokosra Fulat el fahkang nu sel elan us ma inge ac folokunla nu in Tempul Jerusalem, oayapa elan sifil musaeak Tempul fin acn se ma tu we meet ah.
16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came, and laid the foundations of God's house which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now has it been in building, and yet it is not completed.
Ouinge Sheshbazzar el som ac oakiya pwelung la. Na musa sac tutafla in pacl sac me nwe inge, tusruktu soenna safla.’
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let a search be made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Koresh the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter."
“Inge, O Tokosra Fulat, fin ou lungse lom, sap in sukok in ma simla ke sramsram matu Babylon, tuh in kalem lah pwaye ku sutuu lah Tokosra Fulat Cyrus pa sapkin tuh Tempul se in Jerusalem inge in sifilpa musaiyuk. Na kom fah akkalemye nu sesr lah mea kom nunku mu fal in orek ke sripa se inge.”
