< 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.
Hahoi siangpahrang Darius ni kâ a poe teh Babilon râw kuemnae koe, cauk tânae dawk a tawng awh.
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: —
Hat toteh, Medes ram Akhametha kho e siangpahrang im vah cakalawng e a hmu awh. Hawvah kahawicalah tâ hanelah hettelah thut lah ao.
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;
Jerusalem e Cathut e im teh siangpahrang Sairus ni a bawinae kum nah hettelah kâ a poe, thuengnae khoungroe im teh bout sak e lah awm seh, adu hai kacaklah ung naseh.
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.
A rasang e dong 60, akaw e dong 60, talung kalenpounge coung thum touh lah pacoung hnukkhu, a katha e thing hoi boutbout pacoung sin naseh. Aphunaw hateh siangpahrang e hnopai hoi poe lah ao han.
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.
Hahoi Cathut e im dawk e sui, ngun hoi hnopai Nebukhadnezar ni Jerusalem lah a ceikhai teh Babilon vah a kâenkhai e naw hah bout poe naseh, Jerusalem e bawkim amae hmuen koevah ceikhai vaiteh Cathut e im dawk bout hrueng naseh.
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:
Hatdawkvah, tui namran kaukkung Tattenai hoi Setharbozenai hoi tui namran lah kaawm e a hui Afasat taminaw hah hnai awh hanh.
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;
Hete BAWIPA e bawkim sak e dawk runae poe awh hanh. Judah kahrawikungnaw hoi Judah kacuenaw ni Cathut e im teh amae hmuen koe bout sak naseh.
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.
Hahoi sak e kabawp hanelah kâ na poe awh, thaw a hmacawn nahanelah, tui namran kanîloumlae tamuk teh, siangpahrang e hnopai thung hoi poe lah ao han.
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;
Panki e patetlah kalvan Cathut koe hmaisawi thueng nahanelah maitoca thoseh, tutan thoseh, tuca thoseh, cakang, misur, satui hai thoseh, Jerusalem kaawm e vaihmanaw ni a dei e patetlah hnintangkuem hnan laipalah, poe awh naseh.
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.
Hat toteh, kalvan Cathut koe hmuitui thuengnae pout laipalah siangpahrang hoi a ca hringsaw thai nahanlah a ratoum thai awh han.
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;
Hete lawk ka ek e tami teh, a im khom phawk pouh vaiteh bout ung e dawk ama hai bang vaiteh, a im teh vaipuen lah tho sak han telah, kâ ka poe.
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.
Hahoi, hawvah a min kaawm sak e BAWIPA ni Jerusalem e Cathut im raphoe hanelah a kâcai. teh, kut ka dâw e siangpahrang hoi a ram pueng teh raphoe pouh e lah awm naseh telah, kai Darius ni kâ poe e patetlah roup tarawi naseh.
13 Then, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
Hahoi teh, tui namran lah kaukkung Tattenai hoi Setharbozenai hoi a huinaw ni Darius e ca a hmu awh e patetlah a sak awh,
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.
Hahoi profet Haggai hoi Iddo capa Zekhariah ni a dei roi e lawk kecu dawk Judah kahrawikungnaw ni kahawicalah a sak awh. Isarel Cathut e kâpoelawk patetlah Persia siangpahrang Sairus hoi Darius hoi Artaxerxes tinaw ni kâ poe e patetlah a sak awh teh a cum awh.
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.
Hote im teh siangpahrang Darius a bawi kum 6nae, Adar thapa hni 3 nah a cum awh.
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;
Isarel catoun, vaihmanaw hoi Levih miphun, san dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ni Cathut e im teh pout laipalah lunghawicalah a sak awh.
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.
Hete im saknae dawkvah maitotan 200, tuca 400 touh a poe awh. Hahoi Isarelnaw hanelah yon thuengnae dawk Isarel miphun yit touh hoiyah hmae 12 touh.
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.
Mosi e cauk dawk thut e patetlah Jerusalem e Cathut im thaw tawk hanelah vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah ahuhu lahoi ao sak awh.
19 And the Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth of the first month;
Hahoi, san dawk hoi kahloutnaw ni thapa pasuek, hnin 14 nah ceitakhai pawi a sak awh.
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.
Vaihmanaw hoi Levih miphunnaw amamouh kâthoung sak teh abuemlahoi a thoung awh. Hahoi ceitakhai pawi nah san dawk hoi kahloutnaw hoi a hmaunawngha vaihmanaw hanelah tu a thei awh.
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;
Hahoi Isarel catoun san dawk hoi kahlout ni teh Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ka tawng ni teh alouke ramnaw e lawk ngai laipalah, a yonnae naw thoung sak e pueng hoi a canei awh.
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.
Lung kanawmcalah tawn phuen hoeh e pawi hah hnin sari touh thung a sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh a lunghawi sak. Isarel Cathut e im saknae dawk a kut tha ao sak nahanelah Assiria siangpahrang e lungthin hah ahnimouh koe lah a kamlang sak.
