Ezra 3
1 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man at Jerusalem.
Ary nony tonga ny volana fahafito, rehefa tafapetraka teny amin’ ny tanànany avy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia nivory tany Jerosalema toy ny olona iray izy.
2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
Dia nitsangana Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, sy ny mpisorona rahalahiny ary Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy ny rahalahiny ka nanorina ny alitaran’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hanaterana fanatitra dorana eo amboniny, araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.
3 And they set the altar upon its bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
Dia naoriny teo amin’ ilay efa niorenany ihany ny alitara, satria natahotra ny tompon-tany izy, ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana teo amboniny ho an’ i Jehovah izy, dia ny fanatitra dorana marain-tsy hariva.
4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
Ary nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana ao amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo koa izy, araka ny voasoratra, sy ny amin’ ny fanatitra dorana isan’ andro araka ny isany avy, tahaka ny fanao, araka izay voatendry hatao isan’ andro avy.
5 And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva izy sy ilay fanao amin’ ny voaloham-bolana sy amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana nohamasinina rehetra izay voatendrin’ i Jehovah ary ny avy amin’ izay rehetra nanatitra fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ i Jehovah.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
Tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahafito no niantomboka nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah izy. Nefa tsy mbola natao ny fanorenan’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
7 They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, to them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
Ary nomeny vola ny mpipai-bato sy ny mpandrafitra, ary ny any Tyro sy ny any Sidona dia nomeny zavatra hohanina sy hosotroina sy diloilo mba hitondrany hazo sedera avy any Libanona hatramin’ ny ranomasina any Jopa, araka ny teny efa azony tamin’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia.
8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
Ary tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny taona faharoa taorian’ ny nahatongavany tany amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema dia niantomboka Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mbamin’ ny rahalahiny sisa, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary izay rehetra tonga tany Jerosalema avy tany amin’ ny fahababoana, ka nanendry ny Levita izay hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy ho tonian’ ny asa amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
9 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
Dia niara-nitsangana Jesoa sy ny zanany ary ny rahalahiny, ary Kadmiela sy ny zanany, zanak’ i Joda, ho tonian’ ny mpiasa tamin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary ny zanak’ i Henadada koa mbamin’ ny zanany sy ny Levita rahalahiny.
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
Ary rehefa naorin’ ny mpiasa ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, dia nasainy hidera an’ i Jehovah ny mpisorona, sady niakanjo ny akanjony sy nitondra trompetra, ary ny Levita, zanak’ i Asafa, kosa nitondra kipantsona, araka ny nandidian’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
11 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks to the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
Dia nanao hira nifamalivaly nidera sy nisaotra an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsara Izy, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony amin’ ny Isiraely. Dia nihoby mafy ny olona rehetra, raha nidera an’ i Jehovah, satria vita ny fanorenan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
Nefa maro ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia ny antitra izay efa nahita ny trano voalohany, no nitomany mafy dia mafy, nony naorina teo imasony izany trano izany; nefa maro kosa no nanandratra ny feony nihoby sy nifaly;
13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of the joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
ka dia tsy fantatry ny olona izay fifaliana na izay fitomaniana noho izany horakoraka be izany, fa nihoby mafy ny olona, ka re lavitra ny horakoraka.
