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.
Hatnavah, profet Haggai hoi Iddo capa Zekhariah e taminaw ni Judah ram hoi Jerusalem kaawm e Judah taminaw koe Isarel Cathut min lahoi lawk a dei awh.
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.
Hat toteh, Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi Jozadak capa Jeshua ni Jerusalem kaawm e Cathut e im sak hanelah bout a kamtawng awh. Ahnimouh kabawm hanelah Cathut e profet teh ahnimouh koevah ao.
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?
Hatnavah, tui namran ka uk e Tattenai hoi Shetharbozenai hoi a huinaw a cei awh teh, hettelah ahnimouh koe a dei pouh awh. Hete im sak hane hoi rapan cum hanelah apini maw kâ na poe, telah atipouh.
4 Then, after this manner, spake we unto them, —What are the names of these men, who, this building, do rear?
Hete ka sak e tami e min hah apimaw telah a pacei awh ei,
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.
Darius siangpahrang koe e ca a tho hoehroukrak thaw kâhat hoeh nahanelah, Cathut ni Judah tami kacuenaw hah a mit hoi a khet. Hatdawkvah, kaukkungnaw ni thaw ngang thai pouh hoeh.
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:
Hethateh, Tattenai taminaw ca a patawn awh e doeh. Tui namran kaukkung hoi Setharbozenai hoi a hui tui namran kaawm e Afasat tinaw ni Darius koe ca a patawn awh.
7 a message, sent they unto him, —and, thus, was it written therein, Unto Darius the king, all prosperity!
Hettelah a thut awh teh a patawn awh. Siangpahrang Darius koevah roumnae awm lawiseh.
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.
Hete hno heh siangpahrang ni panuek naseh, Judah ram vah Cathut e bawkim talung kalenpounge naw hoi lungphen e avan vah thingnaw a ta awh teh karanglah a sak awh e naw koe ka cei awh.
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?
Hahoi, hete im sak hane hoi rapan cum hanelah apinimaw kâ na poe telah kacuenaw ka pacei awh.
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.
Kahrawikungnaw e min ka thut awh teh kamcengcalah ka panue awh nahanelah ka pacei awh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni hettelah a dei awh, Talai hoi kalvan Cathut e san lah doeh ka o awh. Kaloum tangcoung e kumnaw dawk sak tangcoung e, Isarel siangpahrang kalenpounge tami buet touh ni sak tangcoung e hah kaimouh ni ka pathoup awh e doeh.
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.
Mintoenaw ni kalvan e Cathut a lungkhuek totouh ao awh dawkvah, Khaldean tami Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kut dawk a poe awh. Ahni ni hete im a raphoe teh taminaw hah Babilon lah a hrawi.
13 Howbeit, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, this house of God, to build.
Hatei, Babilon siangpahrang Sairus, a bawinae apasuek kum vah, siangpahrang Sairus ni Cathut im bout sak hanelah kâ a poe.
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;
Hahoi Cathut e im dawk e sui ngun hoi sak e hnopai Jerusalem Cathut bawkim thung hoi Nebukhadnezar ni a la teh Babilon e bawkim thung vah a kâenkhai e hah siangpahrang Sairus ni bawkim thung hoi bout a tâcokhai teh tami buet touh Sheshbazzar ram kaukkung hanelah a poe.
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.
Hahoi ahni koevah, hete hnopai lat nateh cet lawih, Jerusalem e bawkim dawk hrueng hanh. Hote bawkim teh amae hmuen koe sak naseh telah ati.
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.
Hahoi teh, Sheshbazzar hai a cei van, Jerusalem bawkim adu ung teh hahoi atu totouh sak e doeh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni ahawi tetpawiteh, hotnaw teh atangkatang maw, Babilon siangpahrang hnopai im dawk tawng naseh. Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hete kong dawk a ngai e patetlah dei naseh, telah ati awh.
