Ezra 5
1 Then were moved to prophesy, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, the prophets, unto the Jews who were in Judaea and in Jerusalem, —in the name of the God of Israel, unto them.
Hiche phat laitah chun Haggai themgao le Iddo chapa Zechariah themgaovin Jerusalem leh Judah gam sunga Judate lah a gaothu ana sei lhonin ahi. Amanin achung'uva vaihom’ah Israel Pathen min in gaothu anasei lhonin ahi.
2 Then arose—Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, with them, were the prophets of God, strengthening them.
Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel leh Jehozadak chapa Jeshua in amani thusei ajahdoh lhon phat’in Jerusalam houin sahphatna natoh apan lhontan ahileh hiche themgao teni jong chun akithopi lhonin ahi.
3 At that time, came unto them Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —and, thus, spake they unto them, Who hath issued unto you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
Ahin Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaiya gamvai popa Tettanai leh Shethar-bozenai chuleh atoh khompi hocheng chu gangtah in Jerusalem ah ahung’un ajah uva, “Hitiahi houin sahphatna dinga koipen in thu napeh uva, amun jonghi koi thusah a nagon toh uham?” hiti chun thudoh ana neijun ahi
4 Then, after this manner, spake we unto them, —What are the names of these men, who, this building, do rear?
Hiche houin sahna-a kimangchaho chu koikoi ham tin amin u jong adongin ahi.
5 Nevertheless, the eye of their God, was upon the elders of Judah, and they did not forbid them, until the matter, unto Darius, should come, —and, then, answer be returned by letter, concerning this.
Ahivangin amaho chu a Pathen un avetsui jing jengu ahiyeh in, hiche thudol Darius lengpa henga akiseipeh a chutengleh aman athu umchan dingdol ahinle thot kit tokah in ahouin sah natoh uchu ana ngadeh pouvin ahi.
6 A copy of the letter which Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his associates, the Apharsachites, who were Beyond the Rivet, sent unto Darius the king:
Tattenai gamvaipo pa leh Setharbozenai chuleh Euphrates lhumlam gamkaija vaihom a pang jousen Darius lengpa chu hiti hin lekha ana thot un ahi:
7 a message, sent they unto him, —and, thus, was it written therein, Unto Darius the king, all prosperity!
“Darius lengpa kajanao salam kahin peuve:
8 Be it known unto the king, that we journeyed into the province of Judah, unto the house of the Great God, and, the same, is being built with large stones, and, timber, is being laid in the walls, —and, this work, with speed, is being done, and is prospering in their hands.
Lengpa nangman nahet tei dia kadei u chu ahile, Judah gamsunga kaga khol’un, loupitah a Pathen houin asahnao mun kagaphah uva thil umdan kamu houhi nahet teiding ngai kasaove. Hiche kisahphat ah in song phatah a kikheng ho akimangin, apaljong thing apum kikehso ho in akigen pantan ahi. Hiche anatoh uhi ahapan jeh un amachal lheh jengun ahi.
9 Then asked we of these elders, thus, we said to them, —Who hath issued to you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
Keihon alamkai hojah a hiche houin hi sahphat nading leh amun gontoh nading’a hi koipen in phalna napeh uham tin kadongun ahi.
10 Yea, their names also, asked we of them, to certify thee, —that we might write the name, of the men who are at their head.
Chuleh alamkai hou minjong kahin hetsah theina diuvin kadongun ahi.
11 And, thus, returned they, answer, to us saying, —We, are servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and are building the house which was built these many years ago, which, a great king of Israel, built and completed.
Amahon hitihin eidinbut un ahi, “Keihohi lei leh van Pathen lhachate kahiuve, chuleh kum tamtah masanga Israel leng lentah khat’in anasahdohsa houin chu keihon asha phat kit u ahi,” atiuve.
12 But, after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, —and, this house, he destroyed, and, the people, he exiled to Babylon.
Ahinlah kapu kapa teuvin van Pathen chu ana sulunghang’un ahileh aman Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzer khutna ana pehdoh uva, aman houin chu asuhset’a amaho chu Babylon a sohchang ding in anakoijin ahi.
13 Howbeit, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, this house of God, to build.
Ahivangin, Babylon lengpa Cyrus in ama leng chanjou kumkhat sungin hiche Pathen houin hi sahphatna dingin thupeh ana neiyin ahi.
14 Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, had brought forth out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, and had brought into the temple of Babylon, Cyrus the king, brought them forth, out of the temple of Babylon, —and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he made, pasha;
Nebuchadnezzer in Jerusalem a Pathen houin sung’a kona ana lahdoh, sana leh dangka khon, Babylon houin a anakoi hojong chu anale lahdoh in ahi. Hiche khon ana la doh hochu, Cyrus lengpan Judah gam vaipoa ana nganse Sheshbazzar khut’ah ana pelut in ahi.
15 and said to him—These utensils, take, go carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, —and let, the house of God, be built in its place.
Lengpan chun hiche khon hochu Jerusalem a alethah lut kit ding le Pathen houin chu amun mama a chu sahphat kit dingin thu anape in ahi.
16 Then, this Sheshbazzar, came, he laid the foundations of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, since then, even until now, it hath been in building, and is not finished.
Hijeh chun Sheshbazzar chu ahung in Jerusalem ah Pathen houin munchu ahung semtoh tan ahi. Hichea pat achu amipiten ana atoh pat’ u ahitan ahinla anajolou laiyu ahi.
17 Now, therefore, if, unto the king, it seem good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king which is there, in Babylon, whether it be so, that, from Cyrus the king, issued an edict, to build this house of God, in Jerusalem, —and, the pleasure of the king concerning this, let him send unto us.
Hijeh chun lengpa lunglam ahiding leh, Jerusalem a Pathen Houin chu sahphatna dinga thupeh umham um louham ti Babylon lengte thusimbu chu kikholchil leh tia ka-nga u ahi. Chujoutengle lengpan hiche thudolla nalunggel chu neihin hetsah diuva kahin ngeh u ahi,” atiuve.
