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.
Aa le nitoky amo nte-Iehodà e Iehodà naho Ierosalaimeo amy zao o mpitokio; i Kagaý mpitoky naho i Zekarià, ana’ Idò, ie nitoky am’ iareo amy tahinan’ Añahare Israeley.
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.
Niongak’ amy zao t’i Zerobabele ana’ i Sealtiele naho Iesoà, ana’ Iotsadake niorotse namboatse i anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey; le nimpiam’ iareo nañimba, o mpitokin’ Añahareo,
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?"
Pok’ eo amy zao t’i Tatenay, mpifehe alafe’ i Sakay añe naho i Setar-botsenay naho o rañe’eo, nanao ty hoe am’ iereo: Ia ty nanolo-dily anahareo handranjy o anjombao vaho ty hamonitse ty rafitse toy?
4 Then they asked them, "What are the names of the men who are constructing this building?
naho ia o tahina’ ondaty mamboatse ty anjomba toio?
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.
Fa tamo mpiaolo’ o nte-Iehodaoo ty fihainon’ Añahare’ iareo, le tsy nazi’ iareo hitroatse, ampara’ te niheo amy Dareiavese i rahay vaho nimpoly am’ iereo an-taratasy ty vale’e.
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;
Itoy ty taratasy hambañe amy nampihitrife’ i Tatenay mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay atoiy naho i Setar-botsenay vaho o rañe’e nte-Afaresake alafe’ i Sakay atoio amy Dareiavese mpanjaka;
7 they sent a letter to him, in which was written thus: To Daryavesh the king, all peace.
zao ty nisokitse amy taratasy nahitrikey: Ry Dariavese mpanjaka, hene hanintsiñe!
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.
Ampahafohinañe i mpanjakay te niheo mb’ an-tane’ Iehodà añe zahay, mb’amy anjomban’ Añahare jabahinakey mb’eo, ze amboareñe am-bato jabajaba naho bodan-katae amo rindri’eo, le ifanehafañe an-kahimbañañe i fitoloñañe zay vaho miraorao am-pità’ iareo.
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?"
Aa le nañontanea’ay o mpiaoloo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty nanolo-dily anahareo handranjy ty anjomba toy naho ty hamonitse o kijolio?
10 We asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
Nañontanea’ay ka o tahina’ iareoo, ho taroñeñ’ ama’o, hanokira’ay ty tahina’ o mpiaolo’ iareoo.
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.
Le ty hoe ty navale’ iareo anay: Mpitoron’ Andrianañaharen-dikerañey naho ty tane toy zahay, le amboare’ay ty anjomba nifonitse taoñe maro taolo añe toy, i namboare’ ty mpanjaka ra’elahi’ Israele vaho nihenefe’ey.
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.
Fe nampaviñeren-droae’ay t’i Andrianañaharen-dindiñe añe, le natolo’e am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, i nte-Kasdy nandrotsake ty anjomba toy vaho nanese ondatio mb’e Bavele mb’eoy.
13 But in the first year of Koresh king of Babylon, Koresh the king made a decree to build this house of God.
F’ie amy taom-baloha’ i Korese, mpanjaka’ i Baveley, le tsine’ i Korese mpanjaka te hamboareñe ty anjomban’ Añahare toy.
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;
Tovo’e: o fanake volamena naho volafoti’ i anjomban’ Añahare nakare’ i Nebokadnetsare boak’ añ’anjomba e Ierosalaime añe, ie nasese’e mb’ amy anjomba e Baveleio, le nakare’ i Korese boak’ amy anjomba’ i Baveley naho natolo’e amy atao Ses’ bazare nanoe’e mpifelekey;
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.'
naho nanao ty hoe ama’e: Rambeso o fanake retoañe le akia apoho añ’anjomba’e e Ierosalaime ao vaho amboaro amy toe’e eo ty anjomban’ Añahare.
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.
Totsake eo amy zao t’i Sesbazare, le naore’e o mananta’ i anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaime aoio; le sikal’ amy andro zay pake henaneo t’ie namboareñe, fe mboe tsy fonitse.
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."
Ie amy zao naho mete añ’arofo’ i mpanjakay, te ho tsikaraheñe añ’ anjombam-panontona’ i mpanjaka e Baveley ty hatò’ te teo ze o tsey nanoe’ i Korese mpanjaka, hamboareñe i anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey zao, le ehe te hirahe’ i mpanjakay ama’ay ty satrin’ arofo’e amy rahay.
