Ezra 6
1 [Later] Darius [became the ruler of the Persian Empire. When the enemies of the Israelis forced them to stop rebuilding the temple, the Persian officials sent a message to King Darius. They asked him to] search the records in the (archives/government records), in the building where the king stored the important documents, [to find out whether King Cyrus had authorized that the temple should be rebuilt].
Amaiba: le, hina bagade Da: liase da ea fidisu dunu ilia eagene meloa dedei Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade amo ganodini dialu, amo hogoma: ne sia: i.
2 [The king commanded someone to search there, but those documents were not there in Babylon]. They found a scroll at the fort in Ecbatana, in Media province, [that contained the information that they wanted to know]. This is what was written on that scroll:
Be ilia da Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade amo ganodini amo meloa dedei hame ba: i. Ilia da Egeba: da: na moilai bai bagade (Midia soge amo ganodini dialu) amoga bioi meloa dialebe ba: i. Amo ganodini, sia: amane dedei dialebe ba: i.
3 “During the first year that Cyrus [ruled the empire], he sent out a decree concerning the temple of God which is at Jerusalem. In the decree it was stated that a new temple must be built at the same place that [the Israeli people previously] had offered sacrifices, where the [original] foundation [of the first temple] was. The temple must be 90 feet high and 90 feet wide.
“Hina bagade Sailase da ea ode bisili ouligisu hou amoga, ilia da Yelusalemega Debolo diasu gobele salasu hamomusa: bu gaguma: ne sia: i. Amo Debolo gagusia, ea defei da 27 mida sedade defei amola 27 mida ba: de defei gaguma: ne sia: i.
4 The building must be made from large stones. After putting down three layers of stones, a layer of timber must be put on top of them. This work will be paid for by money from my treasury.
E da Debolo dobea agoane gaguma: ne sia: i. Igi dada: lesu udiana hagudu legele bu ifa dada: lesu afae legema. Hawa: hamosu liligi amo bidi lasu muni huluane Besia eagene ilia fawane da imunu.
5 Also, the gold and silver utensils that King Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple of God in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon must be taken back to Jerusalem. They must be put in God’s temple just as they were in the previous temple.”
Amola gouli amola silifa ofodo, amo musa: Nebiuga: denese da Yelusaleme Debolo diasuga lale, Ba: bilone moilai bai bagadega gaguli asi, amo huluane ilia da amo liligi ea sogebidafa Yelusaleme Debolo amoga bu gaguli masa!” ilia da Sailase ea sia: agoane dedei dialebe ba: i.
6 After reading this, King Darius sent this message [to the leaders of the Israeli people’s enemies in Jerusalem]: “This is a message for Tattenai, the governor of the province west of the [Euphrates] River, and for [his assistant] Shethar-Bozenai, and for all your colleagues: Stay away from that area!
Amalalu, Da: liase da Yu dunuma sia: adole iasi, “Na da dili, Da: denai (Iufala: idisi Hano Guma: dini soge eagene ouligisu dunu), Sisabosinai amola dilia na: iyado ouligisu dunu Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge ganodini esala, dilima meloa dedesa. ‘Debolo diasu gadenene maedafa masa.
7 Do not (interfere with/hinder) the work of building the temple of God! The temple must be rebuilt at the same place where the former temple was. And do not hinder the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews [while they are doing this work].
Amola, Debolo gagusu hou mae migelema. Yuda eagene ouligisu dunu amola Yu fi ouligisu dunu da Gode Ea Debolo diasu amo ea musa: sogebi amoga bu gagumu da defea.
8 “Furthermore, I declare that you must help these leaders of the Jews as they rebuild this temple of God [by giving them funds for the building work].
Dilia amo dunu Debolo bu gaguma: ne fidima. Amo hawa: hamosu da mae yolele hedolo hehenane hawa: hamoma: ne, ilima muni amo ninia eagene muni Guma: dini Iufala: idisi sogega laha amo ilima hedolo ima.
9 “The Jewish priests in Jerusalem need young bulls and rams and lambs to sacrifice as they make burned offerings to the God of heaven. You must give them the animals that they need. Also, you must be certain to give them the wheat, salt, wine, and [olive] oil that they need each day [for those sacrifices].
Eso huluane, mae fisili, dilia Yelusaleme gobele salasu dunu, ilia hanai dilima adolalu, amo defele ilima ima. Amo da bulamagau mano gawali o sibi o sibi mano Hebene Godema gobele salimusa: o widi o deme o waini o olife susuligi.
10 If you do that, the Jewish priests will be able to offer sacrifices that please the God who is in heaven, and they will pray that God will bless me and my sons.
Yu dunu da Hebene Gode Ema gobele salasu Ea hanai defele Ema hamomusa: amola Gode da na amola na dunu mano hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne, ilia da Ema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne, agoane hamoma.
11 “If anyone disobeys this decree, [my soldiers] will pull a beam from his house. Then [after they sharpen one end of the beam, ] they will lift that man up and impale him on that beam. Then they will [completely destroy that man’s house until only] a pile of rubble is left.
Na da sia: eno sia: sa. Nowa dunu da amo sia: hame nabasea, dilia ifa ea diasuga dialu fadegale fasili, amalu agesone, amalu amo dunu ea da: i hagomoa soma. Amola ea diasu go da isu salasu hamoma.
12 God has chosen [that city of] Jerusalem as the place where people will honor him [MTY]. What I desire is that he will get rid of any king or any nation that tries to change this decree or tries to destroy that temple in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have made this decree. It must be obeyed quickly and thoroughly.”
Gode da osobo bagade dunu ilia Ema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amo ilegei dagoi. Amaiba: le, nowa dunu da na sia: dedei amo hame nabasea, o Debolo diasu wadela: musa: dawa: sea, Gode da amo dunu wadela: mu da defea. Na, Da: liase da amo sia: sia: iba: le, dilia amo sia: amoma noga: le fa: no bobogema.’”
13 Tattenai, the governor of the province, and [his assistant] Shethar-Bozenai and their colleagues [read the message and] immediately obeyed the decree of King Darius.
Amalalu, Da: denai (eagene hina dunu), Sidabosinai amola ela na: iyado ouligisu dunu, ilia da Da: liase ea sia: defele hamoi.
14 So the Jewish leaders continued their work [of rebuilding the temple]. They were greatly encouraged by the messages that the prophets Haggai and Zechariah preached. The Israelis continued building the temple, just like God had commanded them to do and like King Cyrus had decreed.
Yu ouligisu dunu da Debolo diasu gagusu hehenane hawa: hamonanu. Balofede dunu Ha: ga: iai amola Segalia da ilia dogo denesima: ne fidisu. Amalalu, Isala: ili Gode amola Besia hina bagade dunu udiana amo Sailase, Da: liase amola Adasegesisi, ilia hamoma: ne sia: i defele, Debolo diasu da gagui dagoi ba: i.
15 They finished building it on March 12, during the sixth year that King Darius [ruled].
Eso udiana amo oubi ea dio amo Ada, amoga, ilia Debolo diasu gaguli dagoi. Amo ode da Da: liase ea Ba: bilone soge ouligisu ode gafeyale gidigi.
16 Then the priests and the Levites and all the other Israeli people who had returned from Babylon very joyfully dedicated the temple.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane, amo gobele salasu dunu, Lifai dunu amola mugululi asi buhagi dunu huluane da hahawane bagade Debolo diasu Godema sia: ne gadosu hamomusa: , modale ligiagale doasi.
17 During [the ceremony to] dedicate the temple, they sacrificed 100 young bulls, 200 rams, and 400 lambs. They also sacrificed twelve male goats as an offering in order that [God would forgive] the sins of the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Amo hou hamoma: ne, ilia da bulamagau 100 agoane, sibi 200 agoane amola sibi mano 400 agoane, gobele salasu hamoma: ne iasu. Amola, Wadela: i Hou Gogolema: ne Olofoma: ne Iasu da goudi fagoyale gala. Amo da goudi afae da Isala: ili fi afae hi gagaia gaguli iasu.
18 Then the priests and Levites were divided into groups that would [take turns to] serve at the temple. They did this according to what Moses had written [many years previously] in the laws [that he wrote].
Amola Mousese ea sema buga ganodini dedei defele, ilia gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu ilima Debolo ouligisu hou Yelusaleme amo ganodini olelei.
19 On April 21, the Jews who had returned from Babylon celebrated the Passover Festival.
Mugululi asi buhagi dunu da eso14 oubi age amoga, amola ode ageyadu amoga ilia da buhagi - amo esoga ilia da Baligisu Lolo mai.
20 [To qualify themselves for offering the sacrifices], the priests and Levites had already purified themselves by performing certain rituals. Then they slaughtered the lambs for the benefit of all the people who had returned from Babylon, for the other priests, and for themselves.
Gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu da ilia ledo huluane dodofei amola ilia sema defele ledo hame agoai ba: i. Amola Lifai dunu da ilisu, gobele salasu dunu amola dunu huluane da mugululi asili buhagi, amo huluane ilia gobele salasu hamoma: ne, ohe fi medole legei.
21 Those who had returned from Babylon and the other people in that land who had turned away from their immoral practices in order to worship Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people, ate the Passover meal.
Isala: ili dunu mugululi asi buhagi dunu amola musa: Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui ilia da dunu Isala: ili soge amo ganodini esalu amo ilia musa: hou fisili, Isala: ili Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: sinidigi, amo dunu huluane da gobele salasu ha: i manu nasu.
22 They celebrated the Unleavened Bread Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread for seven days. The Israeli people throughout the land were joyful because Yahweh had changed the attitude of the king of Assyria toward them, and as a result, the king had helped them to rebuild the temple of God, the one whom they [worshiped].
Eso fesuale amoga, ilia da Agi Yisidi Hame Sali Lolo Nabe hahawane hamosu. Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Asilia hina bagade da ilima asigiba: le, e da ilia Isala: ili Gode Ea Debolo amo bu buga: le gagusu hou fidisu. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da hahawane bagade ba: i.
