Ezra 3
1 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel [were] in the cities, the people assembled themselves as one man at Jerusalem.
Iamque venerat mensis septimus, et erant filii Israel in civitatibus suis: congregatus est ergo populus quasi vir unus in Ierusalem.
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.
Et surrexit Iosue filius Iosedec, et fratres eius sacerdotes, et Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et fratres eius, et aedificaverunt altare Dei Israel ut offerrent in eo holocaustomata, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi viri Dei:
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.
Collocaverunt autem altare Dei super bases suas deterrentibus eos per circuitum populis terrarum, et obtulerunt super illud holocaustum Domino mane et vespere:
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;
Feceruntque sollemnitatem tabernaculorum, sicut scriptum est, et holocaustum diebus singulis per ordinem secundum praeceptum opus diei in die suo.
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 free-will-offering to the LORD.
Et post haec holocaustum iuge, tam in Calendis quam in universis sollemnitatibus Domini, quae erant consecratae, et in omnibus in quibus ultro offerebatur munus Domino.
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.
A primo die mensis septimi coeperunt offerre holocaustum Domino: porro templum Dei nondum fundatum erat.
7 They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and provisions, 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.
Dederunt autem pecunias latomis et caementariis: cibum quoque, et potum, et oleum Sidoniis, Tyriisque ut deferrent ligna cedrina de Libano ad mare Ioppes, iuxta quod praeceperat Cyrus rex Persarum eis.
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.
Anno autem secundo adventus eorum ad templum Dei in Ierusalem mense secundo, coeperunt Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et Iosue filius Iosedec, et reliqui de fratribus eorum Sacerdotes, et Levitae, et omnes qui venerant de captivitate in Ierusalem, et constituerunt Levitas a viginti annis et supra, ut urgerent opus Domini.
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.
Stetitque Iosue et filii eius, et fratres eius, Cedmihel, et filii eius, et filii Iuda, quasi vir unus, ut instarent super eos qui faciebant opus in templo Dei: filii Henadad, et filii eorum, et fratres eorum Levitae.
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.
Fundato igitur a caementariis templo Domini, steterunt sacerdotes in ornatu suo cum tubis: et Levitae filii Asaph in cymbalis, ut laudarent Deum per manus David regis Israel.
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 towards 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.
Et concinebant in hymnis, et confessione Domino: Quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius super Israel. Omnis quoque populus vociferabatur clamore magno in laudando Dominum, eo quod fundatum esset templum Domini.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, 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:
plurimi etiam de Sacerdotibus et Levitis, et principes patrum, et seniores, qui viderant templum prius cum fundatum esset, et hoc templum in oculis eorum, flebant voce magna: et multi vociferantes in laetitia, elevabant vocem.
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.
Nec poterat quisquam agnoscere vocem clamoris laetantium, et vocem fletus populi: commixtim enim populus vociferabatur clamore magno, et vox audiebatur procul.
