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.
Ary tamin’ izany Dariosy mpanjaka dia nandidy, ka nizahana ny trano fitehirizan-taratasy, izay nitehirizana ny rakitra tany Babylona.
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: —
Dia tao Akmeta, tao an-dapa izay any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Mediana, no nahitana horonan-taratasy anankiray, ka voasoratra teo izao tantara izao:
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;
Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Kyrosy dia nandidy izy nanao hoe: Ny amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema, dia aoka hatao mihitsy izany ho fanateran’ ny olona fanatitra, ary aoka hatao mafy ny fanorenany, ka enim-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary enim-polo hakiho koa ny sakany,
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.
dia vato vaventy telo an-dalana sy hazo vaovao iray an-dalana; ary aoka haloa avy amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka izay lany;
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.
ary ny fanaky ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, na ny volamena na ny volafotsy, izay nalain’ i Nebokadnezara tao amin’ ny tempoly tany Jerosalema ka nentiny ho any Babylona, dia aoka haverina ho any amin’ ny tempoly any Jerosalema indray ireo, samy ho amin’ ny fitoerany avy, ka aoka hapetraka ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra avokoa.
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:
Koa amin’ izany, ry Tatenay, governora any an-dafin’ ny ony, sy ry Setara-bozenay mbamin’ ny Afarsakita namanareo, izay any an-dafin’ ny ony, mihataha ianareo.
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;
Aza misakana ny fanaovana io tranon’ Andriamanitra io; aoka ny mpanapaka ny Jiosy sy ny loholon’ ny Jiosy hanao io tranon’ Andriamanitra io eo amin’ ilay efa niorenany ihany.
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.
Ary izaho manao didy ny amin’ ny hataonareo amin’ ny loholon’ ireo Jiosy ireo hanaovany izany tranon’ Andriamanitra izany: aoka ny haren’ ny mpanjaka, dia ny hetra avy amin’ ny any an-dafin’ ny ony, no handoavana marina izay lany ho an’ ireo lehilahy ireo, mba tsy ho azon-tsampona izy.
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;
Ary izay zavatra ilainy, na zanak’ omby, na ondrilahy, na zanak’ ondry, ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra, na vary tritika na sira, na divay sy diloilo, araka izay andidian’ ny mpisorona any Jerosalema, dia aoka homena azy isan’ andro isan’ andro tsy tapaka izany,
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.
mba hanaterany fanatitra ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra sy hivavahany mba ho ela velona ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny zanany.
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;
Ary izaho manao didy fa na iza na iza no mandika izao teny izao, dia aoka hangalana hazo avy amin’ ny tranony, ary haorina, dia hahantona eo ny tenany; ary aoka hatao firinga ny tranony noho izany.
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.
Ary Andriamanitra, Izay efa nampitoetra ny anarany teo, anie handringana ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra, izay maninjitra ny tanany handika ny didiko ka handrava izany tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema izany. Izaho Dariosy no nanao ny didy; aoka hotovina marina tokoa izany.
13 Then, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
Ary tamin’ izany Tatenay, governora amin’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ, sy Setarabozenay mbamin’ ny namany dia nankato marina izany teny efa nampitondrain’ i Dariosy ho any aminy izany.
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.
Dia nanao ny trano ny loholon’ ny Jiosy ka nambinina noho ny faminanian’ i Hagay mpaminany sy Zakaria, zanak’ Ido. Ary nanao ny trano izy ka nahavita azy, araka ny didin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely sy araka ny didin’ i Kyrosy sy Dariosy ary Artaksersesy, mpanjakan’ i 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.
Dia vita io trano io tamin’ ny andro fahatelo tamin’ ny volana Adara tamin’ ny taona fahenina nanjakan’ i Dariosy mpanjaka.
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;
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na ny mpisorona, na ny Levita, na ny olona sisa izay nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana, dia nitokana io tranon’ Andriamanitra io tamin’ ny fifaliana;
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.
ary ny nateriny hitokanana io tranon’ Andriamanitra io dia omby zato sy ondrilahy roan-jato sy zanak’ ondry efa-jato; ary ny ho fanatitra noho ny ota kosa ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra dia osilahy roa ambin ny folo, araka ny isan’ ny firenen’ Isiraely.
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.
Dia nanendry ny mpisorona ho amin’ ny firazanany avy sy ny Levita ho amin’ ny antokony avy izy, hanao ny fanompoana an’ Andriamanitra izay any Jerosalema, araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Mosesy.
19 And the Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth of the first month;
Ary ny olona izay efa nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana dia nitandrina ny Paska tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany;
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.
fa ny mpisorona sy ny Levita samy efa nanadio ny tenany rahateo, dia nadio izy rehetra ka namono ny Paska ho an’ izay rehetra efa nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana sy ho an’ ny mpisorona rahalahiny ary ho an’ ny tenany,
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;
Dia nihinana izany ny Zanak’ Isiraely izay efa nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana mbamin’ izay rehetra niavaka ho namany ka niala tamin’ ny fahalotoan’ ny firenena tompon-tany hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely,
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.
ka dia nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira hafitoana tamin’ ny fifaliana izy; fa Jehovah efa nampifaly azy ary efa nampiova ny fon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria hamindra fo aminy ka hampahery ny tànany tamin’ ny nanaovany ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
