Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Atalandira mawuwo mfumu Dariyo anapereka lamulo ndipo kafukufuku anachitikadi ku Babuloni mʼnyumba yosungira chuma ndi mabuku ambiri yakale.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written for a record.
Ndipo ku Ekibatana, likulu la dera la Mediya, kunapezeka mpukutu mmene munalembedwa kuti, Chikumbutso:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree; Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be builded, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
Mʼchaka choyamba cha ufumu wa Koresi, mfumuyo inapereka lamulo lokhudza Nyumba ya Mulungu mu Yerusalemu. Analamula kuti Nyumba ya Mulungu imangidwenso kukhala malo woperekerako nsembe. Maziko ake amangidwe kolimba pa malo pomwe paja pali maziko ake akale ndipo mulitali mwake mukhale mamita 27, mulifupi mwake mukhale mamita 27.
4 with three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
Mumange mizere itatu ya miyala yayikulu ndi mzere umodzi wa matabwa, ndalama zake zolipirira ntchitoyo zichokere mʼthumba la ufumu.
5 And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and thou shalt put them in the house of God.
Ndipo ziwiya zagolide ndi zasiliva za ku Nyumba ya Mulungu zimene Nebukadinezara anatenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu kupita nazo ku Babuloni, zonsezi zibwezedwe ndipo zipite ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu. Chilichonse chikabwezedwe pamalo pake mʼNyumbayo.
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
Tsopano Tatenai, bwanamkubwa wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate ndiponso Setari-Bozenai pamodzi ndi anzanu muchokeko kumeneko.
7 let 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.
Ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulunguyi muyileke. Mulekeni bwanamkubwa wa Ayuda ndiponso akuluakulu a Ayuda kuti amangenso Nyumba ya Mulunguyo pamalo pake.
8 Moreover I make a decree what ye 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 unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Kuwonjezera pamenepo, ndikukhazikitsa lamulo lonena za mmene mudzachitire ndi akuluakulu a Ayuda powathandiza kumanganso Nyumba ya Mulunguyo: Anthuwa muwalipire msanga kuchokera mʼthumba la ufumu, kuchotsa pa msonkho wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate.
9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
Ndipo zonse zofunikira monga, ana angʼombe, nkhosa zazimuna, ana ankhosa aamuna zoperekera nsembe yopsereza kwa Mulungu wakumwamba, ndi tirigu, mchere, vinyo ndi mafuta monga mmene ansembe a ku Yerusalemu angafunire, muziwapatsa zimenezo tsiku ndi tsiku ndipo musamalephere kutero.
10 that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savour unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Zikatero ndiye kuti azipereka nsembe za fungo lokomera Mulungu wakumwamba ndi kupempherera moyo wa mfumu ndi ana ake.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever 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:
Ndikulamulanso kuti ngati wina asintha zimene ndalamulazi, mtanda umodzi wa nyumba yake udzasololedwa ndi kumunkhomera pamenepo ndipo nyumba yake adzayisandutse dzala.
12 and the God that hath caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples, that shall put forth their hand to alter [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
Mulungu amene anasankha kuti anthu azimupembedza pa malo amenewa, achotse mfumu iliyonse kapena munthu aliyense amene adzasinthe zimenezi kapena kuwononga Nyumba ya Mulungu ya ku Yerusalemuko. Ine Dariyo ndikuyika lamuloli, aliyense alitsate mosamala kwambiri.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the river; Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because that Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence.
Tsono potsata zomwe analamula mfumu Dariyo, Tatenai bwanamkubwa wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate, Setari-Bozenai ndi anzawo anatsatira mosamala kwambiri zimene mfumu Dariyo analamula.
14 And the elders of the Jews builded and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ndipo akuluakulu a Ayuda anapitiriza ntchito yomanga ija molimbikitsidwa ndi aneneri Hagai ndi Zekariya mwana wa Ido. Anamaliza ntchito yomanga Nyumbayo, monga momwe Mulungu wa Israeli analamulira ndiponso potsata lamulo la Koresi, Dariyo ndi Aritasasita, mafumu a ku Perisiya.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Anatsiriza kumanga Nyumbayo pa tsiku lachitatu la mwezi wa Adara mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi cha ulamuliro wa mfumu Dariyo.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Choncho Aisraeli, ansembe, Alevi ndi anthu ena onse amene anali atabwerako ku ukapolo, anachita chikondwerero chopereka Nyumba ya Mulungu mwachimwemwe.
17 And they offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Poporeka Nyumba ya Mulunguyi, anthu anapereka nsembe za ngʼombe zazimuna 100, nkhosa zazimuna 200, ana ankhosa aamuna 400. Anaperekanso mbuzi zazimuna 12 ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo a anthu onse, potsata chiwerengero cha mafuko a Israeli.
18 And 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.
Ndipo anakhazikitsa ansembe ndi Alevi pa ntchito zawo zotumikira Mulungu mu Yerusalemu monga zinalembedwera mʼbuku la Mose.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
Pa tsiku la khumi ndi chinayi la mwezi woyamba, obwera ku ukapolo aja anachita chikondwerero cha Paska.
20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ansembe ndi Alevi anali atadziyeretsa ndipo onsewo anali oyeretsedwa. Alevi anapha mwana wankhosa wa Paska kuphera onse amene anatuluka ku ukapolo, ansembe anzawo ndi iwo eni.
21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, did eat,
Nkhosa ya Paskayo anayidya ndi Aisraeli onse amene anatuluka ku ukapolo, wina aliyense amene anaphatikana nawo atadziyeretsa ku zonyansa za mitundu ina ya anthu akunja a mʼdzikomo kuti apembedze Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Choncho pa masiku asanu ndi awiri anasangalala pa chikondwerero cha buledi wopanda yisiti, chifukwa Yehova anawadzaza ndi chimwemwe. Iye anatembenuza mtima wa mfumu ya ku Asiriya motero kuti iyo inakomera mtima Aisraeli ndi kuwathandiza ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulungu, Mulungu wa Israeli.
