Ezra 6
1 Then Daryavesh the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Nake Mũthamaki Dario akĩruta watho, naguo ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtuĩrio nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa yaigĩtwo mabuku ma maũndũ ma tene marĩa maigĩtwo nyũmba ya kĩgĩĩna kũu Babuloni.
2 There was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll, and there was written in it as follows: "Memorandum:
Ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩkĩoneka kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki ya Ekibatana, bũrũri-inĩ wa Media. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ta ũũ: Ũhoro wa Kũririkanania:
3 In the first year of Koresh the king, Koresh the king made a decree: Concerning God's house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid; its height one hundred three feet and four inches; and its breadth one hundred three feet and four inches;
Mwaka wa mbere wa Mũthamaki Kurusu, mũthamaki nĩathanire ũhoro ũkoniĩ hekarũ ya Ngai kũu Jerusalemu, akiuga atĩrĩ: Hekarũ nĩyakwo rĩngĩ ĩrĩ handũ ha kũrutagĩrwo magongona, na mĩthingi yayo yakwo. Ĩkorwo ĩrĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kwarama,
4 with three layers of great stones, and one layer of timber. And let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
ĩkorwo ĩrĩ na mĩhari ĩtatũ ya mahiga manene, na ũmwe wa mbaũ. Thogora ũcio ũrĩhwo kuuma kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki.
5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God's house, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everyone to its place; and you shall put them in God's house.
Ningĩ indo cia thahabu na cia betha cia nyũmba ya Ngai iria Nebukadinezaru aakuuĩte kuuma hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Jerusalemu agĩcirehe Babuloni-rĩ, nĩicookio o kĩndũ harĩa kĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ kũu Jerusalemu; na mũciige thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai.
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
Na rĩrĩ, wee Tatenai barũthi wa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, hamwe na Shetharu-Bozenai, na inyuĩ, anene a thiritũ yao, mũtigathiĩ kuo.
7 Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
Mũtikaingĩrĩre wĩra ũcio wa hekarũ ya Ngai. Barũthi wa Ayahudi na athuuri a Ayahudi nĩmarekwo maake rĩngĩ nyũmba ĩyo ya Ngai o harĩa yaakĩtwo.
8 Moreover I make a decree what you shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they be not hindered.
O na ningĩ nĩndathana ũrĩa mũgwĩkĩra athuuri aya a Ayahudi magĩaka nyũmba ĩyo ya Ngai: Mahũthĩro mothe ma andũ acio nĩ marĩhwo kuuma kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki kĩa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, nĩgeetha wĩra ũyũ ndũkanarũgame.
9 That which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;
Kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩngĩendekana, tũtegwa, na ndũrũme, na tũtũrũme; cia kũrutwo maruta ma njino kũrĩ Ngai wa igũrũ, na ngano, na cumbĩ, na ndibei, na maguta, o ta ũrĩa ingĩĩtio nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai kũu Jerusalemu no nginya maheagwo o mũthenya itekwaga,
10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
nĩgeetha marutage magongona ma gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Ngai wa igũrũ, na mahooyagĩre kũgaacĩra kwa mũthamaki na ariũ ake.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this:
Ningĩ nĩndathana atĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩgarũra maandĩko macio, mũitĩrĩro ũkaarutwo nyũmba-inĩ yake na acooke oywo na igũrũ ohanĩtio naguo. Na nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia rĩu nyũmba yake ĩgaatuuo iganjo rĩa mahuti.
12 and the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Daryavesh have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
Ngai ũrĩa ũtũmĩte Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kũu aroeheria mũthamaki o wothe kana andũ arĩa mangĩgeria kũgarũra watho ũyũ kana kũharagania hekarũ ĩyo ĩrĩ Jerusalemu. Niĩ Dario nĩ niĩ ndaruta watho ũcio. Nĩwathĩkĩrwo na kĩyo.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions, because Daryavesh the king had sent a decree, did accordingly with all diligence.
Ningĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa watho ũrĩa warutĩtwo nĩ Mũthamaki Dario, Tatenai barũthi wa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, na Shetharu-Bozenai, marĩ na athiritũ ao nĩmathĩkĩire watho ũcio na kĩyo.
14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Koresh, and Daryavesh, and Artachshasta king of Persia.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri a Ayahudi magĩthiĩ o na mbere gwaka na kũgaacĩra makĩhunjagĩrio nĩ mũnabii Hagai, na Zekaria wa rũciaro rwa Ido. Makĩrĩkia gwaka hekarũ kũringana na rĩathani rĩa Ngai wa Isiraeli na watho wa Kurusu, na wa Dario, na wa Aritashashita, athamaki a Perisia.
15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Daryavesh the king.
Hekarũ ĩyo yarĩkire mũthenya wa gatatũ wa mweri wa Adari, mwaka wa gatandatũ wa gũthamaka kwa Mũthamaki Dario.
16 The children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the people from the exile, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na andũ arĩa angĩ maatahĩtwo, magĩkũngũĩra kwamũrwo kwa nyũmba ya Ngai marĩ na gĩkeno.
17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Indo iria maarutire nĩ ũndũ wa kwamũrwo kwa nyũmba ya Ngai ciarĩ ndegwa igana rĩmwe, na ndũrũme magana meerĩ, na tũtũrũme magana mana, irĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria Isiraeli othe mehia mao, na thenge ikũmi na igĩrĩ, o ĩmwe kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli.
18 They set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Nao magĩtoonyia athĩnjĩri-Ngai wĩra-inĩ kũringana na ikundi ciao, na Alawii kũringana na matuanĩra mao, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa gũtungatĩra Ngai kũu Jerusalemu o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Musa.
19 The people from the exile kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere, andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magĩkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka.
20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the Passover lamb for all the people from the exile, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii nĩmetheretie na othe maarĩ atheru. Alawii nĩo maathĩnjire gatũrũme ka Bathaka, nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa othe maatahĩtwo, na nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a ithe wao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na nĩ ũndũ wao ene.
21 The children of Israel who had come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek YHWH, the God of Israel, ate,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatahĩirwo makĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo, hamwe na arĩa othe meyamũranĩtie na mĩtugo ya thaahu ya ndũrĩrĩ iria mariganĩtie nacio nĩgeetha marongorie Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for YHWH had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God's house, the God of Israel.
Nĩmakũngũĩire Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia marĩ na gĩkeno ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, tondũ Jehova nĩamaiyũrĩtie gĩkeno nĩ ũndũ wa kũgarũra meciiria ma mũthamaki wa Ashuri, nake akĩmateithia wĩra-inĩ wa gwaka nyũmba ya Ngai, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli.
