Ezra 7
1 Now, after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra, —son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah;
MAHOHE iho o keia mau mea, i ka wa i alii ai o Aretasaseta, ke alii o Peresia, o Ezera ke keiki a Seraia, ke keiki a Azaria, ke keiki a Hilekia,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub;
Ke keiki a Saluma, ke keiki a Zadoka, ke keiki a Ahituba,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth;
Ke keiki a Amaria, ke keiki a Azaria, ke keiki a Meraiota,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki;
Ke keiki a Zerahia, ke keiki a Uzi, ke keiki a Buki,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eliazar, son of Aaron the first priest; —
Ke keiki a Abisua, ke keiki a Pinehasa, ke keiki a Eleazara, ke keiki a Aarona ke kakuna nui:
6 this Ezra, came up out of Babylon, he, being a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh God of Israel had given, —and the king gave him, according to the hand of Yahweh his God upon him, all his request.
O ua Ezera la, pii aku la ia mai Babulona aku; a he kakauolelo makaukau no ia ma ke kanawai o Mose, ka mea a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela i haawi mai ai; a haawi mai ke alii ia ia i ka mea a pau ana i noi ai, mamuli o ka lima o Iehova o kona Akua maluna ona.
7 So then there came up some of the sons of Israel, and some of the priests and the Levites and the singers and the doorkeepers and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, —in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
A pii ae la kekahi poe o na mamo a Iseraela, a o na kahuna, a me ua Levi, a me ka poe mele, a me na kiaipuka, a me ka poe Netini, i Ierusalema, i ka hiku o ka makahiki o Aretasaseta ke alii.
8 And he entered Jerusalem, in the fifth month, —the same, was the seventh year of the king.
A hele mai ia i Ierusalema i ka lima o ka malama, oia hoi ka hiku o ka makahiki o ke alii.
9 For, on the first of the first month, was a beginning made of coming up from Babylon, —and, on the first of the fifth month, entered he into Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
No ka mea, i ka la mua o ka malama mua kona hoomaka ana e pii mai Babulona aku, a i ka la mua o ka lima o ka malama, hiki aku ia i Ierusalema, mamuli o ka lima o kona Akua maluna ona e pono ai.
10 For, Ezra, had settled his heart, to study the law of Yahweh, and to do [it], —and to teach in Israel, statute and regulation.
No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau o Ezera i kona naau e imi i ke kanawai o Iehova, a e hana aku hoi, a e ao aku iloko o ka Iseraela i ke kanawai, a me ka olelo kupaa.
11 Now, this, is a copy of the letter which King Artaxerxes gave, to Ezra the priest the scribe, —the scribe of the words of the commandments of Yahweh, and of his statutes, for Israel: —
Eia ko kope o ka palapala a Aretasaseta ke alii i haawi aku ai ia Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo, he kakauolelo no na kauoha a Iehova, a me kona mau kanawai i ka Iseraela.
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, Unto Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of the heavens—To despatch and so forth.
O Aretasaseta, ke alii o na'lii, ia Ezera ke kahuna, he kakauolelo akamai ma ke kanawai o ke Akua o ka lani, a pela aku no.
13 From me, is issued an edict, that, every one in my kingdom, of the people of Israel, and of their priests and the Levites, who is minded of his own freewill to go to Jerusalem, with thee, let him go.
Na'u no e kauoha aku, o kela mea keia mea o na kanaka o ka Iseraela, o na kahuna, a me na Levi iloko o ko'u aupuni, i makemake e hele i Ierusalema, e hele no me oe.
14 Forasmuch as, from before the king and his seven counselors, thou art sent, to enquire concerning Judah and as to Jerusalem, —by the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
No ka mea, ua hoounaia'ku oe mai ke alo aku o ke alii, a me na kakaolelo ona ehiku, e nana aku i ko Iudea, a me ko Ierusalema, mamuli o ke kanawai o kou Akua ma kou lima;
15 and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, who, in Jerusalem, hath his habitation;
A e lawe aku hoi i ke kala a me ke gula a ke alii, a me kona mau kakaolelo i mohai aku ai no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aia ma Ierusalema kona noho ana,
16 and all the silver and the gold, which thou shalt find, in all the province of Babylon, —with the freewill offering of the people and of the priests offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem,
A o ke kala a pau a me ke gula e loaa ia oe iloko o ka aina o Babulona nei, me na manawalea a na kanaka, a me na kahuna i mohai ai no ka hale o ko lakou Akua ma Ierusalema;
17 therefore, with all diligence, shalt thou buy—with this silver—bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings, and their drink-offerings, —and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem;
I kuai koke aku ai oe me keia kala i na bipikane, a me na hipakane, a me na keikihipa a me ka lakou mohai ai a me na mohai inu, a kaumaha aku ia lakou maluna o ke kuahu o ka hale o ko oukou Akua ma Ierusalema.
18 and, whatsoever, unto thee and unto thy brethren, shall seem good, with the rest of the silver and the gold, to do, according to the pleasure of your God, shall ye do.
A o ka pono ia oe, a i kou poe hoahanau, e hana me ke koena o ke kala, a me ke gula, oia ka oukou e hana'i ma ka makemake o ko oukou Akua.
19 And, the utensils which are freely given to thee for the service of the house of thy God, put thou back, before the God of Jerusalem.
A o na kiaha hoi i haawiia nou no ka hana ma ka hale o kou Akua, oia mau mea kau e hoihoi aku ai imua o ke Akua o Ierusalema.
20 And, the rest of the need of the house of thy God, which it shall fall to thee to give, thou shalt give, out of the treasure-house of the king.
A o na mea e ae i pono ai ka hale o kou Akua, au e manao e haawi aku, e haawi aku no oe noloko mai o ka halewaiwai o ke alii.
21 And, from me myself, Artaxerxes the king, issueth an edict, to all the treasurers who are Beyond the River, —that, whatsoever Ezra the priest the scribe of the law of the God of the heavens shall ask of you, with diligence, shall it be done:
A owau, owau o Aretasaseta ke alii, ke kauoha aku nei i ka poe malama waiwai a pau ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, o na mea a pau a Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo o ke kanawai o ke Akua o ka lani, e noi aku ai ia oukou, e hana koke ia ia mea;
22 unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred measures of wheat, and unto a hundred baths of wine, and unto a hundred baths of oil, —and salt without limit.
A hiki i ka haneri talena kala, a i haneri kora hua palaoa, a i ka haneri bato waina, a i ka haneri bato aila, a me ka paakai aole e hoakakaia.
23 Whatsoever is due to an edict of the God of the heavens, let it be done diligently, for the house of the God of the heavens, —for wherefore should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
A o ka mea a pau i kauohaia e ke Akua o ka lani, e hana koke ia ia mea no ka hale o ke Akua o ka lani: no ka mea, no ke aha la e kauia mai ai ka inaina maluna o ke aupuni o ke alii, a me kana poe keiki?
24 And, you, we do certify, that, as touching any of the priests or the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the Nethinim, or the servitors of this house of God, tribute, excise or toll, shall it not be competent to impose upon them.
Ke hoike aku nei no hoi makou ia oukou, no na kahuna a pau, a no na Levi, no ka poe mele, no na kiaipuka, no ka poe Netini, a me ka poe lawelawe ma keia hale o ke Akua, aole he pono ke auhau ia lakou i ka uku, a me ka hookupu, a me ke dute.
25 And, thou, Ezra, according to the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint thou judges and magistrates, who shall administer justice to all the people that are Beyond the River, to all who know the law of thy God, —and, whoso knoweth not, ye shall teach.
A o oe, e Ezera, ma ka naauao o kou Akua, ka mea ma kou lima, e hoonoho i na luna, a i na lunakanawai, na mea e hooponopono i na kanaka a pau ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, i ua mea a pau i ike i na kanawai o kou Akua, a e ao aku i ka poe ike ole.
26 But, whosoever shall not do the law of thy God and the law of the king, speedily, let, penalty, be exacted from him, —whether to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
A o ka mea malama ole i ke kanawai o kou Akua, a me ke kanawai o ke alii, e hoopai koke ia'ku oia, ina no ka make, a no ke kipakuia ana, a no ka hao ana o ka waiwai, a no ka hoopaa iloko o ka halepaahao.
27 Blessed be Yahweh, God of our fathers, —who hath put the like of this into the heart of the king, to beautify the house of Yahweh, which is in Jerusalem;
E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna, nana i haawi keia manao iloko o ka naau o ke alii, e hoonani i ka hale o Iehova ma Ierusalema;
28 and, unto me, hath extended lovingkindness, before the king and his counselors, yea all the valiant captains of the king, —I, therefore have emboldened myself, according to the hand of Yahweh my God upon me, and gathered out of Israel, chief men, to go up with me.
A i lokomaikai hoi ia'u imua o ke alii, a me kona poe kakaolelo, a me na luna nui o ke alii. A ua hooikaikaia au ma ka lima o Iehova ko'u Akua maluna o'u; a hoakoakoa ae la au i na luna o ka Iseraela, e pii pu me au.
