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.
Hiche phat laitah chun Haggai themgao le Iddo chapa Zechariah themgaovin Jerusalem leh Judah gam sunga Judate lah a gaothu ana sei lhonin ahi. Amanin achung'uva vaihom’ah Israel Pathen min in gaothu anasei lhonin ahi.
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.
Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel leh Jehozadak chapa Jeshua in amani thusei ajahdoh lhon phat’in Jerusalam houin sahphatna natoh apan lhontan ahileh hiche themgao teni jong chun akithopi lhonin ahi.
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?"
Ahin Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaiya gamvai popa Tettanai leh Shethar-bozenai chuleh atoh khompi hocheng chu gangtah in Jerusalem ah ahung’un ajah uva, “Hitiahi houin sahphatna dinga koipen in thu napeh uva, amun jonghi koi thusah a nagon toh uham?” hiti chun thudoh ana neijun ahi
4 Then they asked them, "What are the names of the men who are constructing this building?
Hiche houin sahna-a kimangchaho chu koikoi ham tin amin u jong adongin ahi.
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.
Ahivangin amaho chu a Pathen un avetsui jing jengu ahiyeh in, hiche thudol Darius lengpa henga akiseipeh a chutengleh aman athu umchan dingdol ahinle thot kit tokah in ahouin sah natoh uchu ana ngadeh pouvin ahi.
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;
Tattenai gamvaipo pa leh Setharbozenai chuleh Euphrates lhumlam gamkaija vaihom a pang jousen Darius lengpa chu hiti hin lekha ana thot un ahi:
7 they sent a letter to him, in which was written thus: To Daryavesh the king, all peace.
“Darius lengpa kajanao salam kahin peuve:
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.
Lengpa nangman nahet tei dia kadei u chu ahile, Judah gamsunga kaga khol’un, loupitah a Pathen houin asahnao mun kagaphah uva thil umdan kamu houhi nahet teiding ngai kasaove. Hiche kisahphat ah in song phatah a kikheng ho akimangin, apaljong thing apum kikehso ho in akigen pantan ahi. Hiche anatoh uhi ahapan jeh un amachal lheh jengun ahi.
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?"
Keihon alamkai hojah a hiche houin hi sahphat nading leh amun gontoh nading’a hi koipen in phalna napeh uham tin kadongun ahi.
10 We asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
Chuleh alamkai hou minjong kahin hetsah theina diuvin kadongun ahi.
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.
Amahon hitihin eidinbut un ahi, “Keihohi lei leh van Pathen lhachate kahiuve, chuleh kum tamtah masanga Israel leng lentah khat’in anasahdohsa houin chu keihon asha phat kit u ahi,” atiuve.
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.
Ahinlah kapu kapa teuvin van Pathen chu ana sulunghang’un ahileh aman Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzer khutna ana pehdoh uva, aman houin chu asuhset’a amaho chu Babylon a sohchang ding in anakoijin ahi.
13 But in the first year of Koresh king of Babylon, Koresh the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Ahivangin, Babylon lengpa Cyrus in ama leng chanjou kumkhat sungin hiche Pathen houin hi sahphatna dingin thupeh ana neiyin ahi.
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;
Nebuchadnezzer in Jerusalem a Pathen houin sung’a kona ana lahdoh, sana leh dangka khon, Babylon houin a anakoi hojong chu anale lahdoh in ahi. Hiche khon ana la doh hochu, Cyrus lengpan Judah gam vaipoa ana nganse Sheshbazzar khut’ah ana pelut in ahi.
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.'
Lengpan chun hiche khon hochu Jerusalem a alethah lut kit ding le Pathen houin chu amun mama a chu sahphat kit dingin thu anape in ahi.
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.
Hijeh chun Sheshbazzar chu ahung in Jerusalem ah Pathen houin munchu ahung semtoh tan ahi. Hichea pat achu amipiten ana atoh pat’ u ahitan ahinla anajolou laiyu ahi.
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."
Hijeh chun lengpa lunglam ahiding leh, Jerusalem a Pathen Houin chu sahphatna dinga thupeh umham um louham ti Babylon lengte thusimbu chu kikholchil leh tia ka-nga u ahi. Chujoutengle lengpan hiche thudolla nalunggel chu neihin hetsah diuva kahin ngeh u ahi,” atiuve.
