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.
Khrah sarihto phak moe, Israelnawk angmacae avang ah oh o boih pacoengah, kaminawk loe Jerusalem vangpui ah maeto ah amkhueng o.
2 Then Yeshua 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 Torah of Moses the man of God.
To naah Jozadak capa Jeshua hoi angmah ih nawkamya qaimanawk, Sheatiel capa Zerubbabel hoi anih ih nawkamyanawk loe Sithaw kami Mosi daan cabu pongah tarik ih baktih toengah, hmai angbawnhaih hmuen paek hanah, Israel Sithaw ih hmaicam sakhaih to amtong o.
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.
To prae ah kaom kaminawk to zit o, toe thlung hoiah hmaicam to sak o pacoengah, a nuiah Angraeng khaeah, akhawn hoi duembangah hmuen tathlanghaih to a paek o.
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;
Cabu thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, kahni im payanghaih poih to sak o moe, sakzong ih hmuen baktih, angaihaih baktih toengah, ni thokkruek hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o.
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.
To pacoengah, apet ai ah hmai angbawnhaih, khrah kangtha niah hmuen paekhaih, Angraeng ih kaciim poih ni hanah hmuenpaekhaih hoi Angraeng khaeah palung ahuem zetto hmuennawk to a paek o.
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.
Angraeng ih im sakhaih ahmuen mataeng doeh amtong o ai vop, toe kaminawk loe khrah sarihto haih hmaloe koek niah, Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o.
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.
Persia siangpahrang Sairas ih lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, Param long hoiah im sak kop kami hoi thing aah kop kaminawk khaeah phoisa to a paek o, caaknaek hoi situinawk loe Sidon hoi Tura vangpui ih kaminawk khaeah a paek o; nihcae mah Lebanon hoi Joppa ih sidar thingnawk to tui lam hoiah phawh pae o.
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Yeshua 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.
Jerusalem ih Sithaw im ah phakhaih, saning hnetto haih, khrah hnetto naah, Sheatiel capa Zerubbabel, Jozadak capa Jeshua hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk, qaimanawk, Levinawk, misong angtanghaih hoiah kamlaem, Jerusalem ah angzo kaminawk boih angthawk o moe, saning pumphaeto ranuih bang kaom Levinawk to Sithaw im sakhaih khenzawnkung ah a suek o.
9 Then Yeshua 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.
To naah Judah ih capanawk, Jeshua hoi anih ih capanawk, angmah ih nawkamyanawk, Kadmiel ih capanawk hoi Levi ih capanawk loe toksakhaih khenzawnkung ah oh o, Henadad ih capanawk, nihcae ih nawkamyanawk boih loe Levi acaengnawk hoi nawnto toksak o.
10 When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with shofars, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
Im sahkungnawk mah Angraeng ih im angdoethaih ahmuen to sak amtong o naah, Israel siangpahrang David mah sak ih baktih toengah, Angraeng ih ahmin to saphaw hanah, qaimanawk loe angmacae ih khukbuen to angkhuk o moe, mongkah to sinh o, Levi acaengnawk hoi Asaph ih capanawk doeh cingcaeng sinkung ah suek o.
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.
Angraeng loe hoih; a tahmenhaih loe Israel caanawk khaeah dungzan khoek to om poe nasoe, tiah anghoehaih hoiah ahmin saphawhaih laa to a sak o. Angraeng im ahmuen to sak amtong o boeh pongah, kaminawk boih tha hoiah hang o moe, Angraeng to saphaw o.
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,
Toe saning coeh kami, canghnii ih im hnu vai kami, qaimanawk, Levinawk, angmacae ih nawkamya kacoehtanawk mah, Sithaw im ahmuen sak amtong o boeh, tiah a hnuk o naah, tha hoiah qah o; paroeai kaminawk loe anghoehaih hoiah hangh o.
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.
Kaminawk loe qahhaih lok hoi anghoehaih lok to pathlaeng o thai ai; kaminawk loe tha hoiah hang o pongah, to loknawk to ahmuen kangthla hoiah doeh angthaih.
