Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artachshasta king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
He kah olka hnukah Persia manghai Artaxerxes kah ram ah Hilkiah koca Azariah kah a ca, Seraiah capa Ezra.
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Shallum capa Hilkiah, Zadok capa Shallum, Ahitub capa Zadok.
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Amariah capa Ahitub, Azariah capa, Meraioth capa Azariah.
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Zerahiah capa Meraioth, Uzzi capa Zerahiah, Bukki capa Uzzi.
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief cohen;
Abishua capa Bukki, Phinekha capa Abishua, Eleazar capa Phinekha, khosoih boeilu Aaron capa Eleazar.
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God on him.
Ezra he Babylon lamloh a mael vaengah Moses olkhueng dongkah a cadaek te amah loh a ming. Te te Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a paek. A Pathen BOEIPA kut loh anih soah a om dongah a kueknah boeih te manghai loh a taengah a paek.
7 There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the cohanim, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artachshasta the king.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek lamkah khaw, khosoih neh Levi lamkah khaw, laa sa neh thoh tawt khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw manghai Artaxerxes kah a kum rhih vaengah tah Jerusalem la cet uh.
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Manghai kah kum rhih nah hla nga vaengah tah Jerusalem pawk.
9 For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was on him.
Hla khat dongkah lamhmacuek hnin vaengah Babylon lamkah tangtlaeng a tongnah lamloh hla nga dongkah lamhmacuek hnin ah tah Jerusalem ah pawk. A Pathen kah kut tah anih soah then tangloeng.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
Ezra he BOEIPA olkhueng thuep ham neh vai ham khaw, Israel khuiah oltlueh neh laitloeknah tukkil ham khaw a thinko cikngae.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artachshasta gave to Ezra the cohen, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel:
He kah capat catlaep he manghai Artaxerxes loh BOEIPA kah olpaek ol neh Israel ham a oltlueh dongkah cadaek saya, khosoih Ezra taengah a paek.
12 Artachshasta, king of kings, to Ezra the cohen, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth.
Manghai boeih kah manghai Artaxerxes loh vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra tah a yoethen pai.
13 I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their cohanim and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
Ka ram khui kah a puhlu boeih ham kai lamloh saithainah ka paek coeng. Israel pilnam neh a khosoih rhoek khaw, Levi khaw Jerusalem la caeh ham nang m'puei saeh.
14 Because you are sent of the king and his seven counselors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
He kong dongah Manghai neh anih kah olrhoep parhih taeng lamloh Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah na kut dongkah na Pathen oltlueh te thoelh hamla a pat coeng.
15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
Amah kolhmuen Jerusalem kah Israel Pathen taengah manghai neh a olrhoep rhoek loh a puhlu cak neh sui khaw khuen ham om.
16 and all the silver and gold that you shall find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the cohanim, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
Cak neh sui boeih te Babylon paeng pum ah na hmuh bitni. Jerusalem kah a Pathen im ham tah pilnam long khaw a puhlu tih khosoih rhoek long khaw a puhlu.
17 therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
He kong ah tangka nen he vaito, tutal, tuca khaw, a khosaa neh a tuisi khaw tluem tluem lai. Te te Jerusalem ah na Pathen im kah hmueihtuk dongah nawn.
18 Whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that after the will of your God.
Namah taengkah neh na manuca taengkah boeih te tah cak khaw, sui khaw a coih nen te a then la saii lamtah na Pathen kah ngaihnah bangla saii uh.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Te hnopai te na Pathen im kah thothuengnah ham nang taengah kam paek. Te te Jerusalem kah Pathen taengah cum coeng.
20 Whatever more shall be needful for the house of your God, which you shall have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
Na Pathen im kah a tloe a ngoe dongah thoh hamla nang soah aka tla te tah manghai cabu im lamkah te thoo mai.
21 I, even I Artachshasta the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the cohen, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
Manghai Artaxerxes kai kamah lamloh sok paem kah hnokhoem boeih taengah saithainah ka paek. A cungkuem dongah vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra nang n'dawt saeh lamtah tluem tluem saii.
22 to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred measures of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
Cak talent yakhat hil, cangyen kore yakhat hil, misurtui bath yakhat hil, situi bath yakhat neh lungkaehtael toeklek toekna pawt hil tawn saeh.
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Vaan Pathen kah saithainah lamkah boeih he vaan Pathen im dongah tluem tluem saii saeh. Balae tih kosi loh manghai kah ram neh a ca a bo thil eh.
24 Also we inform you, that touching any of the cohanim and Levites, the singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, on them.
Te phoeiah khosoih boeih neh Levi khaw, laasa rhoek khaw, thoh tawt rhoek khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw, Pathen im kah tho aka thueng he khaw, mangmu neh hlang mangmu khaw, cawn khaw, amih soah coi ham saithainah om pawh tila namah taengah mingpha saeh.
25 You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn't know them.
Ezra nang khaw na Pathen kah cueihnah rhangneh na kut dongkah aka taemrhai ham neh laitloekung la m'hmoel coeng. Te tlam te a om uh daengah ni sok paem kah pilnam cungkuem taengah khaw, na Pathen oltlueh aka ming boeih taengah khaw, na ming bangla aka ming pawt taengah khaw lai aka tloek rhoek loh lai a tloek thai eh.
26 Whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Na Pathen kah oltlueh neh manghai kah oltlueh aka vai pawt boeih te tah laitloeknah tluem, tluem om saeh. Anih te dueknah nen khaw, haeknah nen khaw, a koe tuuknah nen khaw, pinnah nen khaw saii saeh.
27 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem;
Mamih napa rhoek kah Pathen YAHWEH tah a yoethen pai saeh. Tahae kah bangla Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im te cam hamla manghai kah lungbuei ah a cuen sak.
28 and has extended loving kindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's powerful officers. I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Kai ham khaw manghai neh a olrhoep mikhmuh ah, hlangrhalh manghai kah mangpa boeih taengah khaw sitlohnah a tueng sak. Ka sokah ka Pathen BOEIPA kut rhangneh kamah khaw ka moem uh. Te dongah kamah neh aka puei la Israel boeilu te ka coi.
