Ezra 3
1 When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Tukun malem itkosr, mwet Israel elos oakwuki in acn selos. Na elos nukewa toeni Jerusalem.
2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, 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.
Ac Joshua wen natul Jehozadak, oayapa mwet tol wial, ac Zerubbabel wen natul Shealtiel wi sou lal, elos tukeni sifilpa musai loang lun God lun Israel, tuh elos fah ku in orek kisa firir fac fal nu ke ouiya ma simla in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet lun God.
3 In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
Mwet su foloko liki sruoh elos finne sangeng sin mwet muta fin acn ah, elos sifil pacna musaela loang in kisa fin acn se na ma oan we meet ah. Na elos sifilpa mutawauk in kisakin mwe kisa in lotutang ac mwe kisa in eku ke len nukewa.
4 They kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
Elos akfulatye Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk, fal nu ke ma oakwuk. Ke kais sie len elos sang mwe kisa fal nu ke ma oakwuki nu ke len sac.
5 and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering to the LORD.
Ac sayen ma inge, elos oru pac mwe kisa firir ma enenu in fonna kisakinyuk, ac mwe kisa ke Kufwa lun Malem Sasu ac ke toeni nukewa su mwet uh alu nu sin LEUM GOD, oayapa elos sang mwe sang ke insewowo nu sin LEUM GOD.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD’s temple was not yet laid.
Mwet uh finne soenna mutawauk in musai Tempul, a ke len se emeet in malem se akitkosr elos mutawauk in orek kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
7 They also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.
Mwet uh sang mani in moli mwet orekma ke eot ac mwet kamtu, ac elos sang mwe mongo, mwe nim, ac oil in olive tuh in supweyukla nu in siti Tyre ac Sidon, mwe ayaol nu ke sak cedar Lebanon me. Sak inge ac pahkinyuk ut meoa nu Joppa. Tokosra Fulat Cyrus lun Persia pa fuhlela tuh ma inge nukewa in orek.
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD’s house.
Ouinge elos mutawauk orekma ke malem se akluo in yac se tukun elos foloko nu ke acn se Tempul tuh oan we Jerusalem. Zerubbabel, Joshua, ac mwet wialos, oayapa mwet tol, ac mwet Levi, aok mwet nukewa su folok liki sruoh nu Jerusalem, elos tukeni kasru ke orekma. Mwet Levi nukewa yac longoul matwa ku matu liki, pa itukyang in kol orekma in sifil musai Tempul uh.
9 Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
Jeshua mwet Levi, ac wen natul nukewa ac sou lalos, oayapa Kadmiel ac wen natul nukewa (elos ma in sou lal Hodaviah) elos tukeni kol orekma ke sifilpa musa lun Tempul. (Oasr pac kasreyuk nu selos sin mwet Levi in sou lal Henadad.)
10 When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
Ke mwet musa elos mutawauk in oaki pwelung lun Tempul uh, mwet tol elos nokomang nuknuk in alu lalos, ac tu yen srisrngiyuk nu selos wi mwe ukuk in paolos, na mwet Levi in sou lal Asaph elos sruok cymbal natulos ac wi pac tuyak. Elos kaksakin LEUM GOD fal nu ke ma fwack nu selos tutafme in pacl lal Tokosra David me.
11 They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever towards Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the LORD’s house had been laid.
Ke elos on ac kaksakin LEUM GOD, elos kalweni kas inge: “LEUM GOD El wo, ac lungse lal nu sin Israel oan ma pahtpat.” Mwet nukewa elos sala ke kuiyalos nufon, ac kaksakin LEUM GOD, mweyen orekma in oakiya pwelung lun Tempul uh srola.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
Mwet matu puspis sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi ac sifen sou, elos tuh liye Tempul se meet ah, na ke elos liye oakwuki lun pwelung ke Tempul se inge, elos wowoyak ac tung. A mwet saya su wi tukeni sac elos sasa ke engan.
13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
Wangin mwet ku in akilen inmasrlon wowo ke engan ac wowo ke tung, mweyen pusren ngisyak lalos orala pusra na lulap su ku in lohngyuk yen loessula.
