Ezra 1
1 During the first year that Cyrus ruled [the] Persian [Empire], he did something that fulfilled what Jeremiah had prophesied. Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this message, and then Cyrus sent this message throughout his empire:
Persia lengpa Cyrus vaipoh kum masapen chun Pakaiyin Jeremiah komma anaphondoh thuchu ana guilhunsah tan ahi. Pakaiyin Cyrus lungthim ana suthouvin alenggam pumpia thuphon khat simphong dingin anathot doh tan ahi.
2 “I, King Cyrus, who rule [the] Persian [Empire], declare this: 'Yahweh, the God [who is in/rules] from heaven, has caused me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms [that I know about] on the earth. And he has appointed me [to enable his people] to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, in Judah [land].
“Persia lengpa Cyrus thupeh chu hiche hi ahi, Pakai van Pathen in leiset chunga leng gam jousehi keima eipe tan ahi. Aman Judah gamsunga Jerusalem ah ama dinga Houin khat tungdoh dingin eingansen ahi.
3 All you people who belong to God may go up to Jerusalem to rebuild this temple for Yahweh, the God who lives in Jerusalem, the God [who is worshiped by you] Israeli people. I desire/hope that your God will be with you [and help those who go there].
Mi koihileh ama mite ho jouse chu Jerusalem’a nache theiyu ahitai, Nangho Jerusalem’a nacheova Pakai Israel Pathen Jerusalem minna nahoupao Pakai Houin chu nagasah phat diu ahi. Chule Pathen in naum piuhen!
4 Those people who are in places where Israelis are living, whose ancestors were exiled here, should contribute silver and gold to those who go. They should also give them supplies [that they will need for the journey to Jerusalem]. They should also give them some livestock, and gifts of money to help build the temple of God in Jerusalem.'”
Amite ahingdoh tua hingnalai jouse chu hoikom munna khopem hijongleu, akhopem nao gam'a miten sana le dangka a ahin kitopi diu, thilto le gancha jong apehdiu, Jerusalem khopia Pathen Houin sahdoh teina dinga deichoma athilto diu kalvalla hijat pichu ahinpeh tha diu ahinalaiye,” ati.
5 Then God motivated some of the priests and (Levites/men who did work in the temple) and some of the leaders of the tribes that were descended from Judah and Benjamin to return to Jerusalem. Those whom God motivated got ready to return to Jerusalem and build the temple for Yahweh there.
Hijouchun Pathen in thempu hole Leviho lungsung ahin choh thouvin, Judah leh Benjamin phung lamkai ho Jerusalem a acheuva Pakai houin agasapha dingin asol tan ahi.
6 All of their neighbors helped them by giving them things made of silver and things made of gold, and supplies for the journey, and livestock. They also gave them other valuable gifts, and also gave them money [to buy things for building the temple].
Aheng akomhon apanhu na in sana le dangka, thil le lo chuleh gancha jong apeuvin chuleh akholjin naova acholam diuvin jong apeuvin ahi. Amahon acham chamma ahin phaldoh’u chung chon in thil manlu tah tahjong tamtah apeuvin ahi.
7 King Cyrus brought out the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had taken from the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem and put in the temple of Nebuchadnezzar’s gods [in Babylon].
Lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in Jerusalem houin na anakoi khontheng hojong chu Cyrus lengpan amaho pathen houin a kon in ahin ladohtan ahi.
8 Cyrus commanded Mithredath, the treasurer of [the] Persian [Empire], to count all these items and then give them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of [the group that was going to return to] Judah.
Cyrus in Persia sumchingpa Mithredath chu hiche thilho jouse chu asimtoh a Judah gamma kilekit ho lamkai pa Sheshbazzar khutna apehlut tan ahi.
9 This is a list of the items that Cyrus donated: 30 large gold dishes 1,000 large silver dishes 29 silver (censers/incense burning pans)
Noija hohi hichea thil kilepeh hochu ahi: - Sana a kisem kisilna kongho - somthum, dangka a kisem kisilna kong-sangkhat, gimnamtui lhutna lheng- somni le ko
10 30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
Sana khon-somthum, chuleh dangka kisem khon-jali le somkhat, chuleh adang dang-sangkhat ho chu ahi.
11 All together, there were 5,400 items made of silver or gold, that [were given to] Sheshbazzar [to] take with him when he and the others returned to Jerusalem.
Hicheng chu abonchan sang nga le jail alhing in ahi, sohchang mite Babylon gamma konna Jerusalem geija ahintol tou chun Sheshbazzar kitipan thilkeo hijatpi hi ahintol tha tan ahi.
