Ezra 6
1 Then, Darius the king, issued an edict, —and they made search in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Hijeh chun Darius lengpan jong thu apen, Babylon gamsunga lengte thusim kisutlutna a chun akholsah tan ahi.
2 And there was found in Achmetha, in the fortress which is in the province of Media, a roll, —and, thus, was it written therein, as a record: —
Hiti chun ahin khol’un ahileh Media gamkol sunga Ecbatana khopia chun lekhajol khat hi amudoh taovin, hichea chun hitihin akijih in ahi:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, as to the house of God in Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be reared, —the height thereof, sixty cubits, the breadth thereof, sixty cubits;
“Cyrus lengpa vaihom kumkhat channa in lengpan thu anapen Jerusalem’a houin chu kilhaina gantha kibol naleh pumgo thilto kitonaji houin chu kithah sahkit hen, a-in sandol chu tong somgup hihenlang availam jong tong somgup ma hihen.
4 layers of large stones, three, and one layer of new timber, —and, as for the expenses, out of the house of the king, let them be given.
Songtum lentah tah gol thum'in kigol henlantg chuleh thingtum jong golkhat in kigol hen, huting leh hiche songho hileh in-thil ho hijongleh, hiche nakitohna a lut ho jouse chu lengte sumkhol na a kona kimang chading ahi.
5 Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, took forth out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, let them again be taken to the temple which is in Jerusalem every one to its place, and lay them up in the house of God.
Chuleh Jerusalem khopia Pathen houin muntheng phunga konna sana le dangka khonle lheng Nebuchadnezzer in anapoh manga Babylona anakoi hochu nungpoh lut cheh kitding ana kikoina mun mama a chu koikit ding ahi. Hicheho jouse chu Pathen houin ah kinung pohlut kitding ahi.” Akitin ahi.
6 Now, therefore, Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, the Apharsachites, who are Beyond the River, —be ye far from thence:
Hijeh chun Darius lengpan hiti hin thu ale thot tan ahi: “Tun hitiding ahi, Euphtates vadung lhumlam gamkaija gamvaipo Tattenai leh Shethar-Bozenai, chuleh Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaiya vaipo holah natoh khompi, nangho kikang seuvin!
7 let alone the work of this house of God, —the pasha of Judah, and the elders of Judah, this house of God, shall build upon its place;
Pathen in asah naova chun suboi hih beh un. Hiche houin chu ana kisah patna mun mama a chu asahphat kitdiu ahi. Judah gam vaipopa ahin natoh vaihom Judah upa ho ahin sutang hih beh un.
8 And, from me, is issued an edict, as to that which ye shall do, with these elders of Judah, for the building of this house of God, —That, of the resources of the king, even the tribute Beyond the River, forthwith, the expenses be given unto these men, for they must not be hindered.
Hiche chungchon chun hiche pathen houin asah naova hin Judah upahohi kithopiuvin tia hiche thupeh hi kahin peh nahiuve. Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaisea kidongoh kai hochu hiche ain sahnao manna chu geisang louva napehdoh jengdiu hiche anatoh uhi nasuhboi lou heldiu ahi.
9 And, whatever may be the need—whether young bullocks or rams or lambs for ascending-sacrifices unto the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine or oil, according to the command of the priests who are in Jerusalem, —that it he given to them day by day, without fail;
Jerusalem’a thempu hon van pathenna akatdoh diuva bongchal nou hihen, kelchal hihen kelngoi chal hijongleh angaichat dungjui uva napeh jengdiu ahi. Chuleh niseh leh amahon angaichat dung jui uva suhlou chang hihen, chule lengpitwi hijongleh olive thao hijongleh angaichat channu chu napeh jengdiu ahi.
10 that they may be offering sweet-smelling sacrifices unto the God of the heavens, —and be praying for the life of the king, and his sons.
Hiteng chuleh amahon van pathen in asan theidol kilhaina chu tohdoh untin chuleh lengpale achate damthei nale phattheina dinga ahin taopeh diu ahi.
11 And, from me, is issued an edict, that, any man who shall alter this message, let timber be torn out of his house, and being lifted up let him be fastened thereunto, —and his house, a dunghill, be made for this;
Hiche kadan thupeh hi asuhkeh a aumleh ainsunga konin alhungpi kibotdoh intin, chutengleh hichea chun ama kikanbeh intin kivoding chuleh ainchu vutvai kisoding ahi.
12 and, the God who hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy any king or people, who shall put forth their hand to alter to destroy this house of God, which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued an edict, forthwith, let it be done.
Hiche Jerusalem khopihi ama min loupina dinga hinlhangdoh Pathen chun hiche thupeh hi palkeh a chuleh hiche Houin hi susea aumleh hitobang leng ahilouleh hitobang nam-mi chu kisumang ding ahi. Darius keiman hiche daan hi kasem doh ahin hiche hi mijousen phatah in juisoh keihen,” tin thu ale thotkit tan ahi.
13 Then, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaija gamvaipopa leh Shethar-bozenai leh atoh khompi hon gangtah in Darius lengpa thupeh chu ajuipai jengun ahi.
14 And, the elders of the Jews, went on building and prospering, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, —they both built and finished, owing to the edict of the God of Israel, and owing to the edict of Cyrus and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Judah upa ho chun atoh uchu ajom jengjun themgao teni Haggai leh Iddo chapa Zechariah thuhil’a konin akiha tilkhou lheh jengin ahi. Houin chu Israel Pathen in athupeh dungjui leh Persia lengho Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerxes in daan anasem dung juiyin asachai taovin ahi.
15 And this house was finished, by the third day of the month Adar, —the which was the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Pathen houin chu Darius lengpa vaihom kum gup channa in Adhar lha nihtum lhinni in achai taovin ahi.
16 Then did the sons of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the Sons of the Exile, keep the dedication of this house of God, with joy;
Pathen houin chu Israel mipite, Thempute, Levite chuleh asoh channaova konna hung kile hotoh kipa thanopna sangtah pummin alopna asem uvin ahi.
17 and offered, for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks, one hundred, rams, two hundred, lambs, four hundred, —and, he-goats, as a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Hiche Pathen houin katdohna a hin bongchal jakhat, kelngoichal jani chuleh kelngoi ail akithat in ahi. Chuleh Israel pumpi phung somleni chonsetna thoidamna dingin kelchal somleni anatoh doh un ahi.
18 And they set up the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God, which was in Jerusalem, —as it is written, in the Book of Moses.
Hiche jouchun thempu hole Leviho chu jatchom chom’in ahom khen’un Mose lekhabua kijih bangin Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin’ah Pakai kin abollun ahi.
19 And the Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth of the first month;
Akhovei lha masapen nisom le nili nin sohchang hung kile hon kalchuh kut amangun ahi.
20 for the priests and the Levites, had purified themselves, as one man, all of them, were pure, —so they slaughtered the passover for all the Sons of the Exile, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Hichun thempuho le Levite chu amahole amaho akithenso cheh taovin athengin aum tauvin ahi. Hichun amahon sohchang hungkile ho dingleh athempu chanpi hoding chule amaho a dingin kalchuh kut manna dingin kelngoi athatnun ahi.
21 Therefore the sons of Israel who had returned from the Exile and all who had separated themselves from the impurity of the nations of the land unto them, did eat, —to seek Yahweh, God of Israel;
Hiche kalchuh kut chu sohchang hung kile kit Israel chate jousen ane uvin, chutengleh thilboh chengsea konna kikangsea Pakai kin bolna a hung kipelut honjong aneovin ahi.
22 and kept the festival of unleavened cakes seven days, with joy, —for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria towards them, to strengthen their hands, in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Hiti chun Israel ten ni sagi sungin cholsolou changlhah kut kipah thanom tahin amangun ahi. Gamsung pumpia chun kipana le thanopna adimlha jengin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Assyria lengpa chu amaho khotona aneisah a hijeh achu Israel te Pathen houin sahphatna dinga jong hin Lengpan ana kithopin ahi.
