1 And it arrived the month seventh and [the] people of Israel [were] in the cities. And they gathered the people like a man one to Jerusalem.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai hono fitu ʻoe māhina, pea nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻe he kakai ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko e tangata pe taha.
2 And he arose Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and brothers his the priests and Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and brothers his and they rebuilt [the] altar of [the] God of Israel to offer up on it burnt offerings according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses [the] man of God.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻonau langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.
3 And they established the altar on foundations its for terror [was] on them from [the] peoples of the lands (and they offered up *Q(K)*) on it burnt offerings to Yahweh burnt offerings of the morning and of the evening.
Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga; he naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi.
4 And they celebrated [the] festival of booths according to [what] is written and a burnt offering of a day in a day by number according to [the] ordinance of [the] matter of a day in day its.
Naʻa nau fai ʻae kātoanga foki ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea naʻe ʻatu lau pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu; ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻo taau mo e ngāue ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē;
5 And after this a burnt offering of continuity and for the new moons and for all [the] appointed times of Yahweh consecrated and for every [one who] offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
Pea naʻa nau toki ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu fai maʻu pe, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kotofa kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe fakatapui, pea meiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
6 From day one of the month seventh they began to offer up burnt offerings to Yahweh and [the] temple of Yahweh not it was founded.
Mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo hono fitu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova. Ka naʻe teʻeki fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova.
7 And people gave money to the masons and to the craftsmen and food and drink and oil to the Sidonians and to the Tyrians to bring wood of cedar from Lebanon to [the] sea of Joppa according to [the] permission of Cyrus [the] king of Persia to them.
Naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga foki ki he kau tufunga maka, pea ki he kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e meʻa kai, mo e inu, mo e lolo, kiate kinautolu ʻo Saitoni, pea kiate kinautolu ʻo Taia, ke fetuku ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni ki he tahi ʻo Sopa, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni meia Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
8 And in the year second of coming their to [the] house of God to Jerusalem in the month second they began Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and [the] rest of brothers their - the priests and the Levites and all those [who] had come from the captivity Jerusalem and they appointed the Levites from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards to act as overseers over [the] work of [the] house of Yahweh.
Pea ko eni, ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, naʻe kamata ʻe Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono toe ʻo honau kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he nofo pōpula ki Selūsalema; ʻonau fakanofo ʻae kau Livai, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo honau motuʻa ʻo fai hake, ke kamata ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
9 And he stood Jeshua sons his and brothers his Kadmiel and sons his [the] sons of Judah as one to act as overseers over [the] doer of the work on [the] house of God. [the] sons of Henadad sons their and brothers their the Levites.
Pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha ai ʻa Sesua mo hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo Katimieli mo hono ngaahi foha, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Siuta, ke fakahoko ʻae kau tangata ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Henatati, mo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi kāinga ko e kau Livai.
10 And they founded the builders [the] temple of Yahweh and they appointed the priests fully clothed with trumpets and the Levites [the] sons of Asaph with cymbals to praise Yahweh on [the] hands of David [the] king of Israel.
Pea ʻi he ʻai ʻe he kau langa fale ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova, naʻa nau tuku ke tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi meʻalea, mo e kau Livai ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi ke fakaongolelei ʻa Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
11 And they sang with praising and with giving thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for for ever covenant loyalty his [is] towards Israel and all the people they shouted (a shout of joy *LB(ah)*) great with praising Yahweh because it was founded [the] house of Yahweh.
Pea naʻa nau hiva kotoa pē ʻo fai fakalakanga ʻi he fakaongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angalelei, he ʻoku tolonga ʻene angaʻofa ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he kalanga lahi, ʻi heʻenau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
12 And many of the priests and the Levites and [the] heads of the fathers old who they had seen the house first when founded it this the house with own eyes their [were] weeping with a voice great and many [people] with a shout of joy with gladness to lift up a voice.
Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai mo e kau tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ko e kau tangata motuʻa, naʻe mamata ki he ʻuluaki fale, ʻi he ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻi honau ʻao, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea kalanga ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fiefia.
13 And not the people [were] recognizing [the] sound of [the] shout of happiness to [the] sound of [the] weeping of the people for the people [were] shouting a shout of joy great and the sound it was heard to from a distance.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ongoʻi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻae kalanga ʻoe fiefia mei he longoaʻa ʻoe tangi ʻae kakai: he naʻe kalanga ʻe he kakai ʻi he kalanga lahi, pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ki he mamaʻo.
