< 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.
Imbilin ngarud ni Ari Dario ti pannakasukimat ti balay a nakaidulinan dagiti napapateg a listaan idiay Babilonia.
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: —
Iti nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Ecbatana idiay Media, nasarakan ti maysa a nalukot a pagbasaan; daytoy ti nailanad:
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;
“Iti umuna a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Cyrus, nangipaulog ni Cyrus iti bilin maipanggep iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem: 'Maipalubos ti pannakaibangon ti balay a pagidatonan. Ti kangato dagiti paderna ket innem a pulo a kubiko ken ti kaakabana ket innem a pulo a kubiko,
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.
nga addaan iti tallo a katoon ti dadakkel a bato ken maysa a katoon ti barbaro a kayo. Ket ti amin a magastos ket agtaud iti balay ti ari.
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.
Kasta met a maisubli dagiti balitok ken pirak nga alikamen a kukua ti balay ti Dios nga innala ni Nebukadnesar manipud iti templo idiay Jerusalem nga impanna iti templo idiay Babilonia. Maipatulod dagitoy iti templo idiay Jerusalem ken maidulin dagitoy iti balay ti Dios.'
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:
Ita, Tatnai, Setar Bozenai, ken dagiti kadduayo nga opisial nga agnanaed iti ballasiw ti karayan, saankayo a makibiang.
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;
Saanyo a pakibiangan ti pannakaaramid daytoy a balay ti Dios. Dagiti gobernador ken dagiti panglakayen a Judio ti mangibangonto daytoy a balay ti Dios iti dayta a lugar.
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.
Ibilbilinko a masapul nga aramidenyo daytoy para kadagitoy a panglakayen dagiti Judio a mangbangon iti daytoy a balay ti Dios: Dagiti pondo nga agtaud iti buis ti ari iti ballasiw ti Karayan ti mausarto a pangbayad kadagitoy a lallaki tapno saanda nga isardeng ti trabahoda.
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;
Aniaman a kasapulan—dagiti urbon a baka, dagiti kalakian a karnero, wenno dagiti urbon a karnero para iti daton a mapuoran para iti Dios ti Langit, agraman ti trigo, asin, arak, wenno lana, segun iti bilin dagiti padi iti Jerusalem—itedyo kadakuada dagitoy a banbanag iti inaldaw nga awan langanna.
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.
Aramidenyo daytoy tapno makaidatagda iti daton iti Dios ti Langit ket ikararagandak, nga ari, ken dagiti putotko a lallaki.
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;
Ibilbilinko a no siasinoman ti mangsalungasing iti daytoy naipaulog a bilin, masapul a maiguyod ti maysa a soleras ti balayna ket masapul a maiduyok isuna iti daytoy. Ket agbalin ngarud a gabsuon ti rugit ti balayna gapu iti daytoy.
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.
Dadaelen koma ti Dios nga agnanaed sadiay ti siasinoman nga ari ken dagiti tattao a mangsalungasing iti daytoy a balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem. Siak ni Dario a mangibilbilin iti daytoy. Aramidenyo daytoy a naan-anay!”
13 Then, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
Kalpasanna, inaramid da Tatnai, Setar Boznai, ken dagiti kakaduada dagiti amin nga imbilin ni Ari Dario.
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.
Isu a nangipatakder dagiti panglakayen a Judio iti wagas nga insuro da Haggeo ken Zacarias babaen iti panangipadto. Imbangonda daytoy segun iti bilin ti Dios ti Israel, ken babaen iti bilin da Cyrus, Dario ken Artaxerxes, a dagiti ari ti Persia.
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.
Nalpas ti balay iti maikatlo nga aldaw iti bulan ti Adar, ken iti maikainnem a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Dario.
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;
Dagiti Israelita, dagiti padi, dagiti Levita ken dagiti nabati kadagiti naibalud idi ti nangidaton daytoy a balay ti Dios nga addaan iti rag-o.
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.
Nangidatonda iti sangagasut a baka, sangagasut a kalakian a karnero ken uppat a gasut nga urbon ti karnero para iti pannakaidaton iti balay ti Dios. Naidaton met ti sangapulo ket dua a kalakian a kalding a kas daton gapu iti basol para iti entero nga Israel, maysa para iti tunggal tribu ti Israel.
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.
Dinutokanda pay dagiti padi ken dagiti Levita iti pannakabingay a trabaho para iti panagserbida iti Dios idiay Jerusalem, a kas iti naisurat iti Libro ni Moises.
19 And the Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth of the first month;
Isu a rinambakan dagiti naipanaw idi a kas balud ti Fiesta ti Ilalabas iti maikasangapulo ket uppat nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan.
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.
Dinalusan amin dagiti Levita ken dagiti padi ti bagida ken pinartida dagiti sagut para iti Fiesta ti Ilalabas para kadagiti amin a naipanaw idi a kas balud, agraman dagiti bagida.
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;
Dagiti Israelita a nangan kadagiti sumagmamano a karne a naisagana iti Fiesta ti Ilalabas ket dagiti nagsubli manipud iti pannakaipanaw idi a kas balud ken dagiti nangilasin kadagiti bagida manipud iti kinarugit dagiti tattao iti daga ken nangbirok kenni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel.
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.
Rinambakanda a sirarag-o ti Fiesta ti Tinapay nga Awan Lebadurana iti las-ud ti pito nga aldaw, ta innikkan ida ni Yahweh iti rag-o ken tinignayna ti puso ti ari ti Asiria a mangpabileg kadagiti imada iti panagtrabaho iti balayna, ti balay ti Dios ti Israel.
