< Ezra 3 >

1 After the Israeli people [returned to Israel, and] had begun to live in their towns, (in the autumn of/after the hot season ended in) that year, they all gathered together in Jerusalem.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za ko nonkuma zamire umani emani hutage'za henka, 7ni ikana agafa hu'ne. Anante maka vahe'mo'za erimago zamavugosa hu'za Jerusalemi kumate atru hu'naze.
2 Then Jeshua, the son of Jehozadak, and his fellow priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his friends, all began to rebuild the altar of God, the one whom the Israeli people [worshiped]. They did that in order that they could sacrifice burned offerings on it, according to what the prophet Moses had written in the laws [that God gave to him].
Ana hutazageno Jozadaki nemofo Jeshua'ene afuhe'zane agranema pristi eri'zama eneriza naga'ene, Sealtieli nemofo Jerubabeli'ene naga'amozane agafa hu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma tevefi kre fnanehu ofama huntesaza ita ete tro hu'naze. Ana itama tro'ma hu'nazana Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese kasege avontafepi krente'naza kante ante'za tro hu'naze.
3 Even though they were afraid of the people who were already living in that area, they rebuilt the altar at the same place [where the previous altar had been]. Before they started to lay the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, [the priests] started to burn sacrifices to Yahweh [on the altar]. They offered sacrifices every morning and every evening. Fifteen days after [they started to offer these sacrifices], the people celebrated the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, as [Moses] had commanded them to do in the laws [that God gave to him]. Each day the priests offered the sacrifices [that were required] for that day. In addition, they presented the regular burned offerings and the offerings [that were required] for the New Moon Festivals and the other festivals that they celebrated each year to [honor] Yahweh. They also brought other offerings only because they desired to bring them, [not because they were required to bring them].
Hanki zamagra anama mani'naza mopafi vahekura koro hu'nazanagi, ana zankura ontahi'za ko'ma kresramna vu itama me'nea nonte ete ita tro hute'za, anante maka nanterane kinaganena Ra Anumzamofontega tevefi kre fanane hu ofa hu'naze.

7 Then the Israelis hired masons and carpenters, and they bought [logs from] cedar trees from the people of Tyre and Sidon [cities], and they gave those people food and wine and olive oil for the logs. They brought the logs down from [the mountains in] Lebanon [to the Mediterranean seacoast and then floated them along the coast of the Sea, ] to Joppa. King Cyrus permitted them to do that. [Then the logs were brought from Joppa inland up to Jerusalem].
Hanki anante Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'a amne sida zafa Lebanonitira ome erigahaze huno Israeli vahekura hu knare huzmante'ne. E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za ne'zane waini tine olivi masavenena Saidoni vahe'ene Tairi vahe'enena miza sezmantazage'za Lebanonitira hagerimpi sida zafa eri'za Jopa ehanati'naze. Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama havema tagahu vahe'ene noma kisaza vahera zagoa miza sezmante'naze.
8 The Israelis started to rebuild the temple in the (spring/time before the hot season) of the second year after they returned to Jerusalem. Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the people who had returned to Jerusalem worked on the building. All the (Levites/men who did work in the temple) supervised this work.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama Babiloniti'ma atre'za Jerusalema e'naza knareti'ma egeno 2ma hia kafumofo nampa 2 ikantera agafa hu'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nona ki'naze. Seatieli nemofo Zerubabeliki Jozadaki nemofo Jeshua'ene zamafuhe'za pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'ene, ana maka vahe'ma kinafinti'ma atre'za Jerusalema e'naza vahe'mo'zane eri'zana eri agafa hu'naze. Hanki Ra Anumzamofo mono nonte eri'zama kvama hu'nesage'za erisaza Livae vahera, kafu zamimo'ma 20ti reti'ma menagate'nea vaheke zamazeri oti'naze.
9 Jeshua and his sons and his other relatives, and Kadmiel and his sons, who were descendants of Hodaviah, also helped to supervise the work. The family of Henadad, who were also all Levites, joined with them in supervising this work.
Hanki ana mono no eri'zama kvama hu'naza Livae vahera, Jeshua'ene ne' mofavre naga'ane afu'aganahe'zane, Kadmieli'ene ne' mofavre naga'ane Juda ne' mofavre naga'ene, Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofonte eri'zana kva hu'nage'za eri'naze. Ana nehazage'za Henadadi ne' mofavre naga'ene zamafuhe'za Livae naga'mo'zane zamaza hu'za ana eri'zana kegava hu'naze.
10 When the builders finished laying the foundation of the temple, the priests put on their robes and stood in their places, blowing their trumpets. Then the Levites, who were descendants of Asaph, clashed/banged their cymbals to praise Yahweh, just as King David had [many years previously] told [Asaph and the other musicians] to do.
Hanki nomagi vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamofo mono noma azeri oti tra'ma ki vagamaretazage'za, pristi naga'moza pristi kukena eri nentani'za, ufena enerizage'za, Asapu ne' mofavre Livae naga'mo'za nase'nasepa eri'zage'za, Israeli kini ne' Deviti'ma krente'nea kante amage ante'za Ra Anumzamofo agi ahentesga hunaku oti'naze.
11 They praised Yahweh and thanked him, and they sang this song about him: “He is very good [to us]! He faithfully loves us Israeli people, and he will love us forever.” Then all the people shouted loudly, praising Yahweh because they had finished laying the foundation of Yahweh’s temple.
Anante muse zagame hu'za Ra Anumzamofona agi'a ahentesga nehu'za, Ra Anumzamo'a knare hu'neankino Israeli vahe'motarera Agri avesizamo'a mevava huno nevie hu'za hu'naze. Anagema nehazage'za maka vahe'mo'za zamagerura erinte mago hu'za, ranke hu'za Ra Anumzamofona agia ahentesga nehu'za, susu hunte'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo mono noma azeri oti tra'ma erinte fatgoma hu'naza zanku anara hu'naze.
12 Many of the [old] priests, Levites, and leaders of families remembered [what] the first temple [was like], and they cried aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid [because they knew that the new temple would not be as beautiful as the first temple]. But the other people shouted joyfully.
Hianagi hakare'a ozafama re'naza pristi vahe'ene Livae vahe'ene naga nofite'ma ugotama hu'naza vahe'ma, ko'ma me'nege'zama Ra Anumzamofo mono noma ke'naza vahe'mo'za zamagesa antahi'naze. Ana nehu'za mono nomofo tra'ama ki vagama nerazage'za tusi zavi krafa nehazage'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za tusi muse hu'naze.
13 The shouting and the crying was very loud; [even people] far away could hear it.
Hanki tusia zavi krafagemo'ene musenkasema haza agasasankemo'enena havia higeno krafamo'a mago avamenteke vige'za, e'i zavi krafa nehazanki, e'i musenkase nehazanki hu'za antahi amara osu'naze.
