Ezra 5

1 And he prophesied Haggai (prophet the *Q(K)*) and Zechariah [the] son of Iddo (prophets the *Q(k)*) to Jews the who [were] in Judah and in Jerusalem in [the] name of [the] God of Israel [who was] over them.

Katahi nga poropiti, a Hakai poropiti, raua ko Hakaraia, tama a Iro, ka poropiti ki nga Hurai i Hura, i Hiruharama; i poropiti ratou ki a ratou i runga i te ingoa o te Atua o Iharaira.

2 Then they arose Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and they began to build [the] house of God which [is] in Jerusalem and [were] with them (prophets the *Q(k)*) of God supporting them.

Katahi ka maranga a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, raua ko Hehua tama a Iohereke, timataia ana e raua te hanga i te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama: i a raua ano nga poropiti a te Atua hei hoa mo raua.

3 At it time the he came to them Tattenai [the] governor of [the] region beyond river the and Shethar-Bozenai and associates their and as follows [they were] saying to them who? did he make for you a decree house the this to build and structure the this to finish.

I taua wa ano ka tae mai ki a ratou a Tatenai kawana o tenei taha o te awa, raua ko Hetara Potenai, me o raua hoa, a ka mea ki a ratou, Na wai koutou i whakahau kia hanga tenei whare, kia whakaotia tenei taiepa?

4 Then as follows we said to them what? [are] they [the] names of men the who this building the [are] building.

Katahi ka penei ta matou kupu ki a ratou, Ko wai nga ingoa o nga tangata e hanga nei i tenei whare?

5 And [the] eye of God their it was on [the] elders of Jews the and not they made cease them until report the to Darius it will come and then they will send back letter the concerning this.

Otiia i runga i nga kaumatua o nga Hurai te kanohi o to ratou Atua, i kore ai ta ratou e whakamutua, kia tae atu ra ano taua mea ki a Tariuha: katahi ka whakahokia mai ai he kupu mo tenei mea, he mea tuhituhi.

6 copy of Letter the which he sent Tattenai - [the] governor of [the] region beyond river the and Shethar-Bozenai and associates his officials the who [were] in [the] region beyond river the to Darius king the.

Ko nga kupu o te pukapuka i tukua e Tatenai kawana o tera taha o te awa, e Hetara Potenai, e ona hoa, e nga Aparahaki i tera taha o te awa, ki a Kingi Tariuha:

7 Word the they sent to him and according to this it was written in midst its to Darius king the peace the all.

I tukua e ratou he pukapuka ki a ia, a i tuhituhia ki roto; Ki a Tariuha, ki te kingi, kia tau te rangimarie katoa.

8 Known - let it be to king the that we went to Judea province the to [the] house of God the great and it [is] being built stone of rolling and timber [is] being set in walls the and work the this diligently [is] being done and [is] prospering in hand their.

Kia mohiotia tenei e te kingi, i haere matou ki te whenua o Hura, ki te whare o te Atua nui e hanga nei ki nga kohatu nunui, e whakatakotoria ana hoki he rakau ki nga taha: a kei te hohoro, kei te pai hoki te haere a tenei mahi a o ratou ringa.

9 Then we asked to elders the these as follows we said to them who? did he make for you a decree house the this to build and structure the this to finish.

Katahi matou ka ui ki aua kaumatua; he penei ta matou kupu ki a ratou, Na wai koutou i whakahau kia hanga tenei whare, kia whakaotia enei taiepa?

10 And also names their we asked (to them *LA(bh)*) to make known to you that we will write [the] name of men the who [are] at heads their.

I uia ano e matou o ratou ingoa, kia whakaaturia ai ki a koe, kia tuhituhia ai e matou nga ingoa o o ratou tino tangata.

11 And as follows word the they sent back to us to say we they [are] servants his of [the] God of heavens the and earth the and [we are] building house the which it was built from [the] former time of this years many and a king of Israel great he built it and he finished it.

Na ko ta ratou kupu tenei i whakahoki ai ki a matou, He pononga matou na te Atua o te rangi, o te whenua, e hanga ana hoki i te whare i hanga i mua noa atu, ka maha nei nga tau; a he kingi nui te kingi o Iharaira nana nei i hanga, i whakaoti.

12 But from that they enraged fathers our [the] God of heavens the he gave them in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon (Chaldean the *Q(k)*) and house the this he destroyed it and people the he took into exile to Babylon.

Otiia, i te whakapataritaringa a o matou matua ki te Atua o te rangi, ka hoatu ratou e ia ki te ringa o Nepukaneha Karari kingi o Papurona: nana tenei whare i tukituki, a whakaraua ana e ia te iwi ki Papurona.

13 Nevertheless in year one of Cyrus king the of Babylon Cyrus king the he made a decree [the] house of God this to build.

I te tuatahi ia o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Papurona, ka puaki he tikanga i a Kingi Hairuha kia hanga tenei whare o te Atua.

14 And also vessels the of [the] house of God of gold and silver which Nebuchadnezzar he had brought out from temple the which [was] in Jerusalem and he carried them to temple the of Babylon he brought out them Cyrus king the from temple the of Babylon and they were given to Sheshbazzar name his whom governor he had made him.

Na, ko nga oko, ko nga mea koura, hiriwa, o te whare o te Atua, i tangohia nei e Nepukaneha i te temepara i Hiruharama, i kawea ki te temepara o Papurona, i tangohia era e Kingi Hairuha i te temepara o Papurona, a homai ana ki tetahi tangata, to na ingoa ko Hehepatara, i meinga nei e ia hei kawana,

15 And he said to him - (these *Q(K)*) vessels the take! go! deposit! them in temple the which [is] in Jerusalem and [the] house of God let it be built on place its.

A i mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia enei mea, haere, kawea ki te temepara i Hiruharama; ka hanga hoki i te whare o te Atua ki tona wahi.

16 Then Sheshbazzar this he came he laid foundations the of [the] house of God which [is] in Jerusalem and from then and until now [it is] being built and not [it is] finished.

Katahi ka haere mai taua Hehepatara, whakatakotoria ana e ia te turanga mo te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama: ko te hanganga ano tenei o te temepara, o reira ra ano a mohoa noa nei; heoi kahore ano kia oti noa.

17 And now if to king the [it is] good let it be searched in [the] house of treasures the of king the there which [are] in Babylon whether there [is] that from Cyrus king the it was made [is] a decree to build [the] house of God this in Jerusalem and [the] will of king the concerning this let him send to us.

Na, ki te pai te kingi, me rapu i roto i te whare taonga o te kingi i kona, i Papurona, koia ranei i whakatakotoria e Kingi Hairuha he tikanga kia hanga tenei whare o te Atua ki Hiruharama? a kia meatia mai hoki e te kingi tana e pai ai mo tenei mea ki a matou.
