< Ezra 5 >

1 Forsothe Aggei, the prophete, and Zacharie, the prophete, the sone of Ado, prophesieden, prophesiynge in the name of God of Israel, to the Jewis that weren in Juda and Jerusalem.
Katahi nga poropiti, a Hakai poropiti, raua ko Hakaraia, tama a Iro, ka poropiti ki nga Hurai i Hura, i Hiruharama; i poropiti ratou ki a ratou i runga i te ingoa o te Atua o Iharaira.
2 Thanne Zorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, and Josue, the sone of Josedech, risiden, and bigunnen to bilde the temple of God in Jerusalem; and with hem rysyden the prophetis of God, helpynge hem.
Katahi ka maranga a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, raua ko Hehua tama a Iohereke, timataia ana e raua te hanga i te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama: i a raua ano nga poropiti a te Atua hei hoa mo raua.
3 Forsothe in that tyme Tatannai, that was duyk biyende the flood, and Starbusannay, and the counselouris of hem, camen to hem, and seiden thus to hem, Who yaf counsel to you to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
I taua wa ano ka tae mai ki a ratou a Tatenai kawana o tenei taha o te awa, raua ko Hetara Potenai, me o raua hoa, a ka mea ki a ratou, Na wai koutou i whakahau kia hanga tenei whare, kia whakaotia tenei taiepa?
4 To which thing we answeriden to hem, whiche weren the names of men, autours of that bildyng.
Katahi ka penei ta matou kupu ki a ratou, Ko wai nga ingoa o nga tangata e hanga nei i tenei whare?
5 Forsothe the iye of God of hem was maad on the elde men of Jewis, and thei myyten not forbede the Jewis; and it pleside that the thing schulde be teld to Darius, and thanne thei schulden make satisfaccioun ayens that accusyng.
Otiia i runga i nga kaumatua o nga Hurai te kanohi o to ratou Atua, i kore ai ta ratou e whakamutua, kia tae atu ra ano taua mea ki a Tariuha: katahi ka whakahokia mai ai he kupu mo tenei mea, he mea tuhituhi.
6 This is the saumpler of the pistle, which Tathannai, duyk of the cuntrey biyende the flood, and Starbursannai, and hise counselouris, Arphasacei, that weren biyende the flood, senten to kyng Darius.
Ko nga kupu o te pukapuka i tukua e Tatenai kawana o tera taha o te awa, e Hetara Potenai, e ona hoa, e nga Aparahaki i tera taha o te awa, ki a Kingi Tariuha:
7 The word which thei senten to hym was writun thus; Al pees be to the kyng Darius.
I tukua e ratou he pukapuka ki a ia, a i tuhituhia ki roto; Ki a Tariuha, ki te kingi, kia tau te rangimarie katoa.
8 Be it knowun to the kyng, that we yeden to the prouince of Judee, to the hows of greet God, which is bildid with stoon vnpolischid, and trees ben set in the wallis, and thilke werk is bildid diligently, and encreessith in the hondis of hem.
Kia mohiotia tenei e te kingi, i haere matou ki te whenua o Hura, ki te whare o te Atua nui e hanga nei ki nga kohatu nunui, e whakatakotoria ana hoki he rakau ki nga taha: a kei te hohoro, kei te pai hoki te haere a tenei mahi a o ratou ringa.
9 Therfor we axiden tho elde men, and thus we seiden to hem, Who yaf to you power to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
Katahi matou ka ui ki aua kaumatua; he penei ta matou kupu ki a ratou, Na wai koutou i whakahau kia hanga tenei whare, kia whakaotia enei taiepa?
10 But also we axiden of hem the names `of hem, that we schulden telle to thee; and we han write the names of men, whiche thei ben, that ben princes among hem.
I uia ano e matou o ratou ingoa, kia whakaaturia ai ki a koe, kia tuhituhia ai e matou nga ingoa o o ratou tino tangata.
11 Sotheli thei answeriden bi sich word, and seiden, We ben the seruauntis of God of heuene and of erthe; and we bilden the temple that was bildid bifor these many yeeris, and `which temple the greet kyng of Israel `hadde bildid, and maad.
Na ko ta ratou kupu tenei i whakahoki ai ki a matou, He pononga matou na te Atua o te rangi, o te whenua, e hanga ana hoki i te whare i hanga i mua noa atu, ka maha nei nga tau; a he kingi nui te kingi o Iharaira nana nei i hanga, i whakaoti.
12 But aftir that oure fadris stiryden God of heuene and of erthe to wrathfulnesse, bothe he bitook hem in the hond of Nabugodonosor, Caldey, kyng of Babiloyne; and he distriede this hows, and translatide the puple therof in to Babiloyne.
Otiia, i te whakapataritaringa a o matou matua ki te Atua o te rangi, ka hoatu ratou e ia ki te ringa o Nepukaneha Karari kingi o Papurona: nana tenei whare i tukituki, a whakaraua ana e ia te iwi ki Papurona.
13 Forsothe in the firste yeer of Cirus, king of Babiloyne, Cirus, the king of Babiloyne, settide forth `a comaundement, that the hows of God schulde be bildid.
I te tuatahi ia o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Papurona, ka puaki he tikanga i a Kingi Hairuha kia hanga tenei whare o te Atua.
14 For whi kyng Cirus brouyte forth `fro the temple of Babiloyne also the goldun and siluerne vessels of Goddis temple, whiche Nabugodonosor hadde take fro the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and hadde bore tho awei in to the temple of Babiloyne; and tho vessels weren youun to Sasabazar bi name, whom `he made also prince. And Cirus seide to hym, Take these vessels,
Na, ko nga oko, ko nga mea koura, hiriwa, o te whare o te Atua, i tangohia nei e Nepukaneha i te temepara i Hiruharama, i kawea ki te temepara o Papurona, i tangohia era e Kingi Hairuha i te temepara o Papurona, a homai ana ki tetahi tangata, to na ingoa ko Hehepatara, i meinga nei e ia hei kawana,
15 and go, and sette tho in the temple, which is in Jerusalem; and the hows of God be bildid in `his place.
A i mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia enei mea, haere, kawea ki te temepara i Hiruharama; ka hanga hoki i te whare o te Atua ki tona wahi.
16 Therfor thanne thilke Sasabazar cam, and settide the foundementis of Goddis temple in Jerusalem; and fro that tyme `til to now it is bildid, and is not yit fillid.
Katahi ka haere mai taua Hehepatara, whakatakotoria ana e ia te turanga mo te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama: ko te hanganga ano tenei o te temepara, o reira ra ano a mohoa noa nei; heoi kahore ano kia oti noa.
17 Now therfor if it `semeth good to the king, rikene he in the biblet of the kyng, which is in Babiloyne, whether it be comaundid of kyng Cyrus, that Goddis hows schulde be bildid in Jerusalem; and sende he to vs the wille of the kyng `on this thing.
Na, ki te pai te kingi, me rapu i roto i te whare taonga o te kingi i kona, i Papurona, koia ranei i whakatakotoria e Kingi Hairuha he tikanga kia hanga tenei whare o te Atua ki Hiruharama? a kia meatia mai hoki e te kingi tana e pai ai mo tenei mea ki a matou.
