< 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.
Nígbà náà ni ọba Dariusi pàṣẹ, wọ́n sì wá inú ilé ìfí nǹkan pamọ́ sí ní ilé ìṣúra ní Babeli.
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: —
A rí ìwé kíká kan ní Ekbatana ibi kíkó ìwé sí ní ilé olódi agbègbè Media, wọ̀nyí ni ohun tí a kọ sínú rẹ̀. Ìwé ìrántí.
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;
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní ìjọba ọba Kirusi, ọba pa àṣẹ kan nípa tẹmpili Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu. Jẹ́ kí a tún tẹmpili ibi tí a ti ń rú onírúurú ẹbọ kọ́, kí a fi ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ ni gíga àti fífẹ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ àádọ́rùn-ún ẹsẹ̀ bàtà,
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.
pẹ̀lú ipele òkúta ńlá ńlá mẹ́ta ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ àti ipele pákó kan, kí a san owó rẹ̀ láti inú ilé ìṣúra ọba.
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.
Sì jẹ́ kí wúrà àti àwọn ohun èlò fàdákà ti ilé Ọlọ́run, tí Nebukadnessari kó láti ilé Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu tí ó sì kó lọ sí Babeli, di dídápadà sí ààyè wọn nínú tẹmpili ní Jerusalẹmu; kí a kó wọn sí inú ilé Ọlọ́run.
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:
Nítorí náà, kí ìwọ, Tatenai baálẹ̀ agbègbè Eufurate àti Ṣetar-bosnai àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ yín, àwọn ìjòyè ti agbègbè náà kúrò níbẹ̀.
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;
Ẹ fi iṣẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run yìí lọ́rùn sílẹ̀ láì dí i lọ́wọ́. Ẹ jẹ́ kí baálẹ̀ àwọn Júù àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tún ilé Ọlọ́run yín kọ́ sí ipò rẹ̀.
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.
Síwájú sí i, mo pàṣẹ ohun tí ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe fún àwọn àgbàgbà Júù wọ̀nyí lórí kíkọ́ ilé Ọlọ́run yìí. Gbogbo ìnáwó àwọn ọkùnrin yìí ni kí ẹ san lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́ lára ìṣúra ti ọba, láti ibi àkójọpọ̀ owó ìlú ti agbègbè Eufurate kí iṣẹ́ náà má bà dúró.
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;
Ohunkóhun tí wọ́n bá fẹ́—àwọn ọ̀dọ́ akọ màlúù, àwọn àgbò, ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn fún ẹbọ sísun sí Ọlọ́run ọ̀run, àti jéró, iyọ̀, wáìnì àti òróró, bí àwọn àlùfáà ní Jerusalẹmu ti béèrè ni ẹ gbọdọ̀ fún wọn lójoojúmọ́ láìyẹ̀.
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.
Kí wọn lè rú àwọn ẹbọ tí ó tẹ́ Ọlọ́run ọ̀run lọ́rùn kí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà fún àlàáfíà ọba àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
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;
Síwájú sí i, mo pàṣẹ pé tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá yí àṣẹ yìí padà, kí fa igi àjà ilé rẹ̀ yọ jáde, kí a sì gbe dúró, kí a sì fi òun náà kọ́ sí orí rẹ̀ kí ó wo ilé rẹ̀ palẹ̀ a ó sì sọ ọ́ di ààtàn.
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.
Kí Ọlọ́run, tí ó ti jẹ́ kí orúkọ rẹ̀ máa gbé ibẹ̀, kí ó pa gbogbo ọba àti orílẹ̀-èdè rún tí ó bá gbé ọwọ́ sókè láti yí àṣẹ yìí padà tàbí láti wó tẹmpili yìí tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu run. Èmi Dariusi n pàṣẹ rẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó di mímúṣẹ láìyí ohunkóhun padà.
13 Then, Tattenai the pasha Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —according as Darius the king had sent, so, forthwith, they did.
Nígbà náà, nítorí àṣẹ tí ọba Dariusi pa, Tatenai, baálẹ̀ ti agbègbè Eufurate, àti Ṣetar-bosnai pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ wọn pa á mọ́ láìyí ọ̀kan padà.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n sì ń gbèrú sí i lábẹ́ ìwàásù wòlíì Hagai àti wòlíì Sekariah, ìran Iddo. Wọ́n parí kíkọ́ ilé Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ tí Ọlọ́run Israẹli àti àwọn àṣẹ Kirusi, Dariusi àti Artasasta àwọn ọba Persia pọ̀.
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.
A parí ilé Olúwa ní ọjọ́ kẹta, oṣù Addari tí í se oṣù kejì ní ọdún kẹfà ti ìjọba ọba Dariusi.
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;
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli—àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn Lefi àti àwọn ìgbèkùn tí ó padà, ṣe ayẹyẹ yíya ilé Ọlọ́run sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú ayọ̀.
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.
Fún yíya ilé Ọlọ́run yìí sí mímọ́, wọ́n pa ọgọ́rùn-ún akọ màlúù, igba àgbò àti irinwó akọ ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún gbogbo Israẹli, àgbò méjìlá, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fún olúkúlùkù àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
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.
Wọ́n sì fi àwọn àlùfáà sí àwọn ìpín wọ́n àti àwọn Lefi sì ẹgbẹẹgbẹ́ wọn fún ìsin ti Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé Mose.
19 And the Sons of the Exile kept the passover, —on the fourteenth of the first month;
Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá ti oṣù Nisani, àwọn tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn ṣe ayẹyẹ àjọ ìrékọjá.
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.
Àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi ti ya ara wọn sí mímọ́, wọ́n sì jẹ́ mímọ́. Àwọn ará Lefi pa ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ti àjọ ìrékọjá fún gbogbo àwọn tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn, fún àwọn àlùfáà arákùnrin wọn àti fún ara wọn.
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;
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó ti dé láti ìgbèkùn jẹ ẹ́ lápapọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti ya ara wọn kúrò nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ àìmọ́ ti àwọn kèfèrí aládùúgbò wọn láti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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.
Fún ọjọ́ méje, wọ́n ṣe ayẹyẹ àkàrà àìwú pẹ̀lú àjẹtì àkàrà. Nítorí tí Olúwa ti kún wọn pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ nípa yíyí ọkàn ọba Asiria padà, tí ó fi ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ lórí iṣẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
