Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Aa le namantoke t’i Dariavese vaho nihotsohotsoeñe i anjombam-pañajan-taratasiy, am-panontonam-bara e Bavele ao.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a scroll, and in it was a record thus written:
Le nitendrek’ amy anjomba e Akmetà ao, amy faritane’ o nte-Madaioy ty boke-peleke, le sinokitse ama’e ao ty hoe: Ty talily:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits;
Amy taom-baloha’ i Korese, mpanjakay, le nanao tsey t’i Korese mpanjaka: I anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey, te hamboareñe i anjombay, i fañengà’ iareo soroñey naho añoreñañe fatratse o mananta’eo; ty haabo’e, kiho enempolo naho ty ampohe’e, kiho enempolo;
4 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
naho firiritam-bato jabajaba, telo naho fidadañam-bodan-katae vao, le ho tolorañe boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty drala’e;
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and place them in the house of God.
le ampolieñe ka o fanake volamena naho volafotin’ anjomban’ Añahare nakare’ i Nebokadnetsare boak’ añ’ anjomba’e e Ierosalaime ao naho nendese’e mb’e Bavele mb’eoo; hahereñe, songa an-toe’e añ’ anjomba e Ierosalaime vaho hapok’ amy anjomban’ Añaharey.
6 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, keep away from there:
Ie amy zao, ry Tatenay mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay naho i Setar-botsenay naho o mpiama’ areo nte Afaresake alafe’ i Sakaio, ihalaviro;
7 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
apoho hanoeñe i fitoloñañe amy anjomban’ Añahareiy; le angao handranjy i anjomban’ Añaharey an-toe’e eo ty mpifehe o nte-Iehodao naho o mpiaolo’ Iehodao.
8 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be given immediately to these men, that they be not hindered.
Mbore tseizeko ty hanoa’ areo amo mpiaolo’ o nte-Iehoda mpamboatse i anjomban’ Añahareioo; te hatolotse am-pahimbañañe boak’ amo varam-panjaka amy haba alafe’ i Sakaio am’ indaty rey ze drala paiae’e, vaho tsy ho sebañeñe.
9 And that which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail:
Le ze paia’ iareo, amo baniao naho o añondrilahio naho o vik’ añondrio, hisoroñañe amy Andrianañaharen-dikerañey; vare-bolè, sira, divay naho menake. Le ze saontsi’ o mpisoroñe e Ierosalaimeo ty amahana’o aze boak’ andro boak’ andro vaho tsy hilesa;
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
hañengàñe soroñe marifondrifoñe amy Andrianañaharen-dindiñey naho ihalaliañe ty havelo’ i mpanjakay naho o anadahi’eo.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Tovoñako ty hoe te ze mañova o entañe zao ro hañakarañe boda amy anjomba’ey, le honjoñen-dre hapitek’ ama’e; vaho hanoeñe votrim-porompotse i traño’ey;
12 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall try to alter the decree and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
vaho ehe te harotsan’ Añahare nampimoneñe ty tahina’e ao ze mpanjaka ndra ondaty te hañity fitàñe hañova izay, hampianto i anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey. Izaho Dariavese ty mitsey: ee t’ie ho henefañe masìka.
13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Aa le nihavatse nitoloñe t’i Tatenay, mpifelek’ alafe’ i Sakay naho i Setar-botsenay naho o mpiama’eo ty amy nampihitrife’ i Dariavese mpanjakay.
14 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Le nandranjy naho niraorao o mpiaolo-nte-Iehodao ty amy fitokia’ i Kagaý mpitoky naho i Zekarià ana’ Idòy. Ie namboatse iereo ro nahafonitse i nandilian’ Añahare’ Israeley naho nitseize’ i Korese naho i Dariavese naho i Artaksastà mpanjaka’ i Parase rey.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Le nifonitse amy andro fahatelo’ i volan-Kiahiaiy i anjombay, an-taom-paha-ene’ i Dariavese, mpanjakay.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
Le nitana’ o ana’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio vaho ty ila’ o anam-pandrohizañeo am-pirebehañe ty fañorizañe i anjomban’ Añaharey,
17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
ie nañenga añombelahy zato naho añondri-lahy roanjato naho vik’ añondry efa-jato amy fañorizañe i anjomban’ Añahareiy; le oselahy folo-ro’ amby ho engan-kakeo’ Israele iaby, ty ami’ty ia’ i fifokoa’ Israele rey.
18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Le nalahatse am-pirimboñañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, songa am-piosoña’e hitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare e Ierosalaime ao; ty amy sinokitse amy boke’ i Moseiy.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
Le nitana’ o anam-pandrohizañeo amy andro faha-folo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy i Fihelañ’ Amboney.
20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Le nitrao-pañeferañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio; songa nalio; le linenta’ iareo i fihelañ’ amboney ho amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio naho o mpisoroñe roahalahi’ iareoo naho o vata’ iareoo.
21 And the children of Israel, who had returned from captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, ate,
Le songa nikama o ana’ Israele nimpoly boak’ am-pandrohizañeo naho o nivìke ho am’ iereo boak’ ami’ty haleora’ o kilakila’ ondati’ i taneio, hipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele,
22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
naho nitana’ iareo an-kaehake fito andro i sabadida-mofo-tsi-aman-dalivaiy; amy te nampinembanembañ’ iareo t’Iehovà vaho nampitolihe’e am’ iereo ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey; nampaozatse ty fità’ iareo amy fitoloñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare, Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
