< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Hahoi siangpahrang Darius ni kâ a poe teh Babilon râw kuemnae koe, cauk tânae dawk a tawng awh.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that [is] in the province of the Medes, a roll, and in it [was] a record thus written:
Hat toteh, Medes ram Akhametha kho e siangpahrang im vah cakalawng e a hmu awh. Hawvah kahawicalah tâ hanelah hettelah thut lah ao.
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 hight of it sixty cubits, [and] the breadth of it sixty cubits;
Jerusalem e Cathut e im teh siangpahrang Sairus ni a bawinae kum nah hettelah kâ a poe, thuengnae khoungroe im teh bout sak e lah awm seh, adu hai kacaklah ung naseh.
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:
A rasang e dong 60, akaw e dong 60, talung kalenpounge coung thum touh lah pacoung hnukkhu, a katha e thing hoi boutbout pacoung sin naseh. Aphunaw hateh siangpahrang e hnopai hoi poe lah ao han.
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.
Hahoi Cathut e im dawk e sui, ngun hoi hnopai Nebukhadnezar ni Jerusalem lah a ceikhai teh Babilon vah a kâenkhai e naw hah bout poe naseh, Jerusalem e bawkim amae hmuen koevah ceikhai vaiteh Cathut e im dawk bout hrueng naseh.
6 Now [therefore], Tatnai governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
Hatdawkvah, tui namran kaukkung Tattenai hoi Setharbozenai hoi tui namran lah kaawm e a hui Afasat taminaw hah hnai awh hanh.
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.
Hete BAWIPA e bawkim sak e dawk runae poe awh hanh. Judah kahrawikungnaw hoi Judah kacuenaw ni Cathut e im teh amae hmuen koe bout sak naseh.
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, forthwith expenses be given to these men, that they be not hindered.
Hahoi sak e kabawp hanelah kâ na poe awh, thaw a hmacawn nahanelah, tui namran kanîloumlae tamuk teh, siangpahrang e hnopai thung hoi poe lah ao han.
9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, 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:
Panki e patetlah kalvan Cathut koe hmaisawi thueng nahanelah maitoca thoseh, tutan thoseh, tuca thoseh, cakang, misur, satui hai thoseh, Jerusalem kaawm e vaihmanaw ni a dei e patetlah hnintangkuem hnan laipalah, poe awh naseh.
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Hat toteh, kalvan Cathut koe hmuitui thuengnae pout laipalah siangpahrang hoi a ca hringsaw thai nahanlah a ratoum thai awh han.
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 upon it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Hete lawk ka ek e tami teh, a im khom phawk pouh vaiteh bout ung e dawk ama hai bang vaiteh, a im teh vaipuen lah tho sak han telah, kâ ka poe.
12 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall attempt to alter and to destroy this house of God which [is] at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
Hahoi, hawvah a min kaawm sak e BAWIPA ni Jerusalem e Cathut im raphoe hanelah a kâcai. teh, kut ka dâw e siangpahrang hoi a ram pueng teh raphoe pouh e lah awm naseh telah, kai Darius ni kâ poe e patetlah roup tarawi naseh.
13 Then Tatnai governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Hahoi teh, tui namran lah kaukkung Tattenai hoi Setharbozenai hoi a huinaw ni Darius e ca a hmu awh e patetlah a sak awh,
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.
Hahoi profet Haggai hoi Iddo capa Zekhariah ni a dei roi e lawk kecu dawk Judah kahrawikungnaw ni kahawicalah a sak awh. Isarel Cathut e kâpoelawk patetlah Persia siangpahrang Sairus hoi Darius hoi Artaxerxes tinaw ni kâ poe e patetlah a sak awh teh a cum awh.
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.
Hote im teh siangpahrang Darius a bawi kum 6nae, Adar thapa hni 3 nah a cum awh.
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,
Isarel catoun, vaihmanaw hoi Levih miphun, san dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ni Cathut e im teh pout laipalah lunghawicalah a sak awh.
17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Hete im saknae dawkvah maitotan 200, tuca 400 touh a poe awh. Hahoi Isarelnaw hanelah yon thuengnae dawk Isarel miphun yit touh hoiyah hmae 12 touh.
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.
Mosi e cauk dawk thut e patetlah Jerusalem e Cathut im thaw tawk hanelah vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah ahuhu lahoi ao sak awh.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
Hahoi, san dawk hoi kahloutnaw ni thapa pasuek, hnin 14 nah ceitakhai pawi a sak awh.
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.
Vaihmanaw hoi Levih miphunnaw amamouh kâthoung sak teh abuemlahoi a thoung awh. Hahoi ceitakhai pawi nah san dawk hoi kahloutnaw hoi a hmaunawngha vaihmanaw hanelah tu a thei awh.
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, did eat,
Hahoi Isarel catoun san dawk hoi kahlout ni teh Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ka tawng ni teh alouke ramnaw e lawk ngai laipalah, a yonnae naw thoung sak e pueng hoi a canei awh.
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.
Lung kanawmcalah tawn phuen hoeh e pawi hah hnin sari touh thung a sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh a lunghawi sak. Isarel Cathut e im saknae dawk a kut tha ao sak nahanelah Assiria siangpahrang e lungthin hah ahnimouh koe lah a kamlang sak.
