Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
यसपछि फारसका राजा अर्तासास्तको शासनकालमा बेबिलोनबाट एज्रा आए । एज्राका पुर्खाहरू यिनै थिएः सरायाह, अजर्याह, हिल्कियाह,
2 The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
शल्लूम, सादोक, अहीतूब,
3 The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
अमर्याह, अजर्याह, मरायोत,
4 The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
जरयाह, उज्जी, बुक्की,
5 The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
अबीशू, पीनहास, एलाजार । एलाजार प्रधान पुजारी हारूनका छोरा थिए ।
6 This Ezra went from Babylon; and he [was] a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
एज्रा बेबिलोनबाट आए, र इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका मोशाको व्यवस्थामा तिनी निपुण अध्यापक थिए । परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि भएको हुनाले तिनले मागेका हरेक कुरा राजाले दिए ।
7 And there went [some] of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
राजा अर्तासास्तको सातौं वर्षमा इस्राएलका केही सन्तानहरू, पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, मन्दिरका गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू र मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्त गरिएकाहरू पनि यरूशलेममा गए ।
8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which [was] in the seventh year of the king.
तिनी त्यही वर्षको पाँचौं महिनामा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
9 For upon the first [day] of the first month he began to go from Babylon, and on the first [day] of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा तिनी बेबिलोनबाट हिंडेका थिए । परमेश्वरको असल हात तिनीमाथि रहेको हुनाले तिनी पाँचौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do [it], and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू अध्ययन गर्न, पालन गर्न र सिकाउन एज्राले आफ्नो ह्रदय समर्पित गरेका थिए ।
11 Now this [is] the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, [even] a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.
राजा अर्तासास्तले इस्राएलका लागि परमप्रभुका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू सिकाउन पुजारी र अध्यापक एज्रालाई दिएको आदेशको प्रतिलिपी यही हो,
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect [peace], and at such a time.
“राजाहरूका राजा अर्तासास्तबाट स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाका अध्यापक पुजारी एज्रालाई,
13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and [of] his priests and Levites, in my realm, who are disposed of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with thee.
इस्राएलबाट आएका मेरो राज्यमा भएका कुनै पनि व्यक्ति आफ्ना पुजारी र लेवीहरूका साथमा यरूशलेममा जाने इच्छा गर्छ भने त्यो तिमीसँगै जान सक्छ भनी म हुकुम दिंदैछु।
14 Forasmuch as thou art sent by the king, and by his seven counselors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which [is] in thy hand;
तिम्रो हातमा भएको परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामुताबिक यहूदा र यरूशलेमको बारेमा सोधखोज गर्न म राजा र मेरा सात जना सल्लाहकारले तिमीलाई पठाएका छौं ।
15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation [is] in Jerusalem,
यरूशलेममा बास गर्नुहुने इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई तिनीहरूले सित्तैंमा चढाएका चाँदी र सुन लिएर जानू ।
16 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which [is] in Jerusalem:
बेबिलोनको प्रदेशभरि तिमीले लैजान सक्ने जति चाँदी र सुनसाथै यरूशलेममा आफ्ना परमेश्वरका मन्दिरको निम्ति मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूले खुसीसाथ जुन भेटीहरू दिन्छन्, ती पनि तिमीले लैजानू ।
17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which [is] in Jerusalem.
त्यसैले यस रकमले प्रशस्त मात्रामा गोरुहरू, भेडाहरू, थुमाहरू, अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि किन्नू । यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको वेदीमा ति चढाउनू ।
18 And whatever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and gold, that do after the will of your God.
तिम्रा परमेश्वरलाई खुसी तुल्याउन तिमी र तिम्रा दाजुभाइलाई असल लागेअनुसार बाँकी चाँदी र सुनको प्रयोग गर्नू ।
19 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, [those] deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
तिमीलाई सित्तैंमा दिइएका चिजहरू यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सेवाको लागि उहाँको सामु राख्नू ।
20 And whatever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow [it] out of the king's treasure-house.
तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको लागि आवश्यक कुनै पनि थोक किन्नलाई मेरो कोषबाट पैसा लिनू ।
21 And I, [even] I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who [are] beyond the river, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
म अर्तासास्तले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै कोषाध्यक्ष यो आदेश दिन्छु, कि एज्राले तिमीहरूबाट मागेका कुनै पनि थोक प्रचुर मात्रामा दिनू,
22 To a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing [how much].
अर्थात् एक सय तोडा चाँदी, एक सय कोर गहुँ, एक सय बाथ दाखमद्य, एक सय बाथ तेल र नूनचाहिं असिमित रूपमा दिनू ।
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
स्वर्गका परमेश्वरबाट आउने कुनै पनि आज्ञा आउँछ भने उहाँको मन्दिरको लागि भक्तिसहित पुरा गर्नू । किनकि म र मेरा छोराहरूको राज्यमाथि उहाँको क्रोध पर्न किन दिनू?
24 Also we certify you, that concerning any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom upon them.
पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू वा मन्दिरको सेवामा नियुक्त गरिएका मानिसहरू र परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सेवकहरूमा तिमीहरूले कुनै महसुल वा कर नलगाउनु भनेर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई जानकारी गराउँदैछौं ।
25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that [is] in thy hand, set magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that [are] beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know [them] not.
एज्रा, तिमीलाई परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको बुद्धिले तिमीले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै मानिसको न्याय गर्न र तिम्रो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था जान्ने सबैको सेवा गर्न न्यायकर्ताहरू र अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नू । व्यवस्था नजान्नेहरूलाई पनि तिमीले सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
26 And whoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether [it be] to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था वा राजाको व्यवस्थालाई पूर्ण रूपमा पालन नगर्ने जोकसैलाई मृत्युदण्ड, देश निकाला, तिनीहरूका थोकहरू जफत वा कैद गरेर दण्ड दिनू ।
27 Blessed [be] the LORD God of our fathers, who hath put [such a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem:
हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको स्तुति होस् जसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको महिमा गर्न राजाको ह्रदयमा यी सबै कुरा हाल्नुभयो,
28 And hath extended mercy to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God [was] upon me, and I assembled out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
अनि राजा, तिनका सल्लाहाकारहरू र तिनका सबै शक्तिशाली अधिकारीहरूका सामु मलाई उहाँको करारको विश्वास्तता देखाउनुभयो । म परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरको हातद्वारा बलियो बनाइएको छु, र मैले आफूसित जानलाई इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गरें ।
