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,
Yac puspis toko, ke Artaxerxes el tuh tokosra fulat lun acn Persia, oasr mwet se pangpang Ezra. El lohlla mwet matu lal folok nwe kacl Aaron, Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge: Ezra el wen natul Seraiah, su wen natul Azariah, su wen natul Hilkiah,
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
su wen natul Shallum, su wen natul Zadok, su wen natul Ahitub,
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
su wen natul Amariah, su wen natul Azariah, su wen natul Meraioth,
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
su wen natul Zerahiah, su wen natul Uzzi, su wen natul Bukki,
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
su wen natul Abishua, su wen natul Phinehas, su wen natul Eleazar, su wen natul Aaron.
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.
Ezra el tuh sie mwet lutlut su arulana yohk etu lal ke Ma Sap su LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh sang nu sel Moses. Ke sripen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Ezra, ouinge tokosra fulat el sang nu sel ma nukewa el siyuk kac. Ezra el som liki acn Babylonia
7 Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
in yac se akitkosr tukun Artaxerxes el mutawauk in leum fin acn we, na el som nu Jerusalem wi kutu sin mwet Israel ac kutu mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet on, mwet topang su forfor taran mutunpot, ac mwet orekma lun Tempul.
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Elos utyak nu Jerusalem ke malem se meet in yac se akitkosr lun tokosra fulat sac.
9 For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.
Elos mukuiyak liki acn Babylon ke len se meet in malem se meet, na ke kasreyuk lun God elos sun acn Jerusalem ke len se meet in malem se aklimekosr.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
Ezra el sang insial in lutlut ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD ac in moulkin, oayapa el luti ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa kac nu sin mwet Israel.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:
Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes el sang leta se inge nu sel Ezra, su sie mwet tol ac mwet lutlut su arulana yohk etu lal ke ma sap ac oakwuk ku su LEUM GOD El tuh sang nu sin Israel:
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
“Ma sel Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes, nu sel Ezra, mwet tol ac mwet lutlut yohk ke Ma Sap lun God lun Kusrao.
13 I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
“Nga sapkin nu yen nukewa in tokosrai luk tuh kutena mwet Israel, ku mwet tol ac mwet Levi, su lungse wi kom som nu Jerusalem, elos ku in som.
14 Because you are sent by the king and his seven counsellors to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
Nga ac mwet pwapa itkosr luk, kut supwekom in som liye ouiyen acn Jerusalem ac Judah, in liye lah fuka akosyen Ma Sap lun God lom, su El asot nu sum in karingin.
15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
Kom in us mwe sang orek ke gold ac silver su nga ac mwet pwapa luk lungse in sang nu sin God lun Israel, su Tempul la oan in Jerusalem.
16 and all the silver and gold that you will 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.
Kom fah oayapa us silver ac gold nukewa su kom orani in acn nukewa lun Babylon, ac mwe sang pac su mwet Israel ac mwet tol lalos elos sang nu ke Tempul lun God lalos in Jerusalem.
17 Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
“Kom fah oaru in orekmakin mani inge in moli cow mukul, sheep mukul, sheep fusr, wheat, ac wain, na kom fah kisakin ma inge fin loang lun Tempul in Jerusalem.
18 Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
Kom ku in orekmakin silver ac gold ma lula nu ke kutena ma su kom ac mwet lom fah sulela, fal nu ke lungse lun God lom.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Kom fah sang nu sin God in acn Jerusalem ahlu nukewa ma itukot nu sum in orekmakinyuk in Tempul ke pacl in alu.
20 Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
Ac fin oasr kutena ma saya su kom enenu pac nu ke Tempul, kom fah eis liki iwen filma lun tokosra.
21 I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, 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, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
“Nga sapkin nu sin mwet nukewa su karingin mwe kasrup in acn Roto-in-Euphrates, tuh kowos in aksaye sang nu sel Ezra, su mwet tol ac mwet lutlut ke Ma Sap lun God lun Kusrao, ma nukewa el siyuk kac.
22 up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
Aok, in tia alukela paun itkosr tausin lumfoko ke silver, bushel lumfoko ke wheat, gallon lumfoko lumngaul ke wain, gallon lumfoko lumngaul ke oil in olive, ac lupan sohl ma el ac enenu.
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Kowos enenu in arulana oaru in sang ma nukewa su God lun Kusrao El enenu nu ke Tempul lal. Ouinge kowos fah oru tuh El fah tiana kasrkusrak sik ku selos su ac fah leum tukuk.
24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or labourers of this house of God.
Nga sapkin tuh in wangin sie suwos eisani tax sin mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet on, mwet topang ke mutunpot, mwet orekma, ku kutena mwet saya su kupasr nu ke Tempul se inge.
25 You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.
“Kom, Ezra, ke lalmwetmet su God lom El asot nu sum, kom in sulela mwet kol ac mwet nununku in liyaung mwet nukewa Roto-in-Euphrates su moul ye Ma Sap lun God lom. Kom in luti Ma Sap inge nu sin kutena mwet su tia etu.
26 Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgement be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Kutena mwet fin seakos ma sap lun God lom, ku ma sap lun tokosrai luk, eneneyuk tuh in sa na kalyeiyuk elos ouinge: ke misa, ku nu ke sruoh, ku ke eisla ma lalos, ku ke kauli in presin.”
27 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem;
Ezra el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lasr! El oru tuh tokosra fulat elan insewowo in akfulatye Tempul lun LEUM GOD in Jerusalem in ouiya se inge.
28 and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
Ke lungkulang lun God, nga ku in eis kulang sin tokosra fulat, oayapa sin mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet nukewa lal su fulat ac ku. LEUM GOD luk El akpulaikyeyu, pwanang nga tuh ku in aknunakye sifen sou puspis lun Israel in wiyu folok.”
