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,
Hathnukkhu, Persia siangpahrang Artaxerxes a bawi lahun nah Ezra teh Babilon hoi a tho. Seraiah teh Azariah capa doeh, Azariah teh Hilkiah capa doeh.
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Hilkiah teh Shallum capa doeh, Shallum teh Zadok capa doeh, Zadok teh Ahitub capa doeh.
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Ahitub teh Amariah capa doeh, Amariah teh Azariah capa doeh. Azariah teh Meraioth capa doeh.
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Meraioth teh Zerahiah capa doeh, Zerahiah teh Uzzi capa doeh, Bukki teh Abishua capa doeh, Abishua teh Phinehas capa doeh.
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest;
Phinehas teh Eleazar capa doeh, Eleazar teh vaihma bawi Aron capa doeh.
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which YHWH, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of YHWH his God on him.
Babilon hoi ka tho e cakathutkung Ezra teh Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe poe e kâlawknaw kathoum poung e lah ao. Ahnie lathueng vah BAWIPA Cathut ni a kut hoi a okhai e patetlah siangpahrang ni a hei e naw pueng hah a poe.
7 There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artachshasta the king.
Hahoi, siangpahrang Artaxerxes a bawinae kum 7 nah, Isarel catoun tangawn, vaihma tangawn, Levih catoun tangawn, la kasaknaw tangawn, longkha karingkungnaw tangawn, Nethinim taminaw tangawn teh Jerusalem lah a ceitakhang awh.
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Hahoi siangpahrang a bawinae kum 7 thapa yung 5 nah, Ezrah teh Jerusalem vah a pha.
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.
Thapa yung apasuek apasuek hnin vah Babilon hoi a tâco teh Cathut ni ahni koe a okhai teh, thapa ayung panga, apasuek hni vah Jerusalem vah a pha.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of YHWH, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ezra ni Cathut e lawk a tawng teh tarawi hane hoi Isarelnaw phunglam hoi hringnuen cangkhai hanelah a lungthin hoi a kâcai.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artachshasta gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of YHWH, and of his statutes to Israel:
Hethateh, siangpahrang Artaxerxes ni vaihma Ezra, ca kathutkung, BAWIPA e kâpoelawknaw hoi Isarelnaw hanelah, phunglawknaw kathoum e tami koe a patawn e ca doeh.
12 Artachshasta, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth.
Siangpahrangnaw e siangpahrang Artaxerxes ni vaihma Ezra, kalvan e Cathut e kâlawk ka thut e koe kakuep e roumnae awm lawiseh.
13 I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
Ka ram thung kaawm e Isarelnaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah Jerusalem lah cei hane ka ngai e tami pueng nang koe cei hanelah kâ ka poe.
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,
Na sin e Cathut e kâlawk patetlah Judah ram hoi Jerusalem e kong teh rip hane lah,
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,
Jerusalem kaawm e Isarel Cathut dawk lungthoungnae lahoi siangpahrang hoi lawkcengkungnaw ni poe e tangka hoi suinaw ceikhai hanelah siangpahrang hoi lawkcengkung 7 touh a patoun e doeh.
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 priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
Babilon ramnaw dawk na hmu e naw pueng sui ngun ma lungthonae lahoi taminaw hoi vaihmanaw ni a poe e Jerusalem e Cathut im hanelah lunghawicalah poe e naw doeh.
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.
Hahoi hote sui ngun hoi maitotan thoseh, tutan thoseh, tuca thoseh ca hane hoi nei kawi thueng nahanelah, tawngtang na ran awh han. Telah pawiteh Jerusalem vah kaawm e nangmae Cathut im dawk e khoungroe dawk na thueng awh han.
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.
Sui ngun hai kacawie naw pueng teh na Cathut a hnâbo e patetlah nang hoi na hmaunawnghanaw hoi ahawi na ti awh e patetlah na kâdei awh han.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Na Cathut im thawtawknae dawk hnopai poe e naw pueng teh Jerusalem e Cathut im dawk na tâ awh han.
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 Cathut e im saknae dawk panki e alouke awm pawiteh siangpahrang e hnopai na hno awh han.
21 I, even I Artachshasta the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
Kai siangpahrang Artaxerxes ni tui namran lae hnopai kakhoumkungnaw teh, vaihma Ezra, kalvan Cathut e kâlawk kathutkung ni a hei e naw pueng hah,
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.
ngun talen 100, cakang hmuen 100, misurtui um 100, satuium 100, palawi naw poe awh loe telah kâ ka poe.
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?
Kalvan Cathut ni kâ poe naw pueng, hot patetlah kalvan Cathut e im hanelah sak naseh, lungkhueknae teh siangpahrang hoi a canaw e lathueng bangkongmaw khuet ao han vaw.
24 Also we inform you, that touching any of the priests 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.
Vaihmanaw hoi Levih miphunnaw, la kasaknaw hoi longkha karingkungnaw hoi Nethinimnaw, hete Cathut e im dawk thaw katawknaw heh tamuk thoseh, hnopai phu thoseh, laikawk phu thoseh na cawi sak awh mahoeh telah na thaisak awh.
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.
Nang Ezra, na tawn e Cathut ni lungangnae na poe e patetlah tui namran lah kaawmnaw lawkceng pouh hane kahrawikungnaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw hoi Cathut e kâlawk kapanueknaw hah thaw poe awh, ka panuek hoeh e naw hah pâtu awh.
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 Cathut e kâlawk hoi siangpahrang e kâlawk ka ngai hoeh e tami teh a due totouh thoseh, ram thung hoi pâlei totouh thoseh, hnopai la pouh e totouh thoseh, thongim paung e totouh thoseh, lawkcengnae ao han, telah a ti.
27 Blessed be YHWH, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of YHWH which is in Jerusalem;
Jerusalem e BAWIPA im ahawi nahanelah siangpahrang heh, hettelah e lungthin ka tawn sakkung hoi, lawkcengkungnaw hmalah hoi siangpahrang kalen min kamthang katang naw e hmalah kai lathueng lungmanae kamnueksakkung mintoenaw e Jehovah Cathut teh, pholen lah awmseh.
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 YHWH my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Hottelah kaie Cathut BAWIPA bawilennae kecu dawk, kai teh ka thao teh, kai hoi cungtalah kâbang hane Isarel kacuenaw hah ka kamkhuengsak.
