Ko e foha ʻo Salumi, ko e foha ʻo Satoki, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe,

5 sone of Bocci, sone of Abisue, sone of Phynees, sone of Eleazar, sone of Aaron, preest at the bigynnyng, was in the rewme of Artaxerses, king of Persis; thilke Esdras stiede fro Babiloyne,
Ko e foha ʻo ʻApisua, ko e foha ʻo Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki lahi:
6 and he was a swift writere in the lawe of Moises, which the Lord God of Israel yaf; and the kyng yaf to hym al his axyng, by the goode hoond of his Lord God on hym.
Ko e Esela ni naʻe ʻalu hake ia mei Papilone; pea ko e tangata tohi ia naʻe poto ʻi he fono ʻo Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻaia kotoa pē naʻa ne kole, ʻo fakatatau ki he kau ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua kiate ia.
7 And there stieden of the sones of Israel, and of the sones of preestis, and of the sones of dekenes, and of the syngeris, and of the porteris, and of Nathyneis, `in to Jerusalem in the seuenthe yeer of Artaxerses, kyng.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae niʻihi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, mo e kau hiva, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau Netenimi, ki Selūsalema, ʻi hono fitu taʻu ʻo ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi.
8 And thei camen in to Jerusalem in the fyuethe monethe; thilke is the seuenthe of the kyng.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki Selūsalema ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono fitu taʻu ʻoe tuʻi.
9 For in the firste dai of the firste monethe he bigan to stie fro Babiloyne, and in the firste dai of the fyuethe monethe he cam in to Jerusalem, bi the good hond of his God on hym. Forsothe
He naʻe kamata ʻene fononga hake, mei Papilone ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻi hono ʻuluaki ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina naʻe hoko ia ki Selūsalema, ʻo fakatatau, ki he kau lelei ʻae nima ʻo hono ʻOtua kiate ia.
10 Esdras made redi his herte to enquere the lawe of the Lord, and to do, and teche in Israel the comaundement and doom.
He naʻe ʻosi hono teuʻi hono loto ʻe Esela ke kumi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova, pea ke fai ia, pea ke akonaki ʻi ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau.
11 Sotheli this is the saumpler of the pistle of the comaundement, which the kyng Artaxerses yaf to Esdras, preest, writere lerud in the wordis and comaundementis of the Lord, and in hise cerymonyes in Israel.
Pea ko hono hiki eni ʻoe tohi naʻe ʻatu ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAtakisekisi kia Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e tangata tohi ia, ʻio, ko e tangata tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova, pea mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ki ʻIsileli.
12 Artaxerses, kyng of kyngis, desirith helthe to Esdras, the preest, moost wijs writere of the lawe of God of heuene.
“Ko ʻAtakisekisi, ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, kia Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e tangata tohi ʻoe fono ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ke ʻiate koe ʻae fiemālie lelei, ʻi he kuonga ko eni.
13 It is demyd of me, that whom euer it plesith in my rewme of the puple of Israel, and of hise preestis, and dekenes, to go in to Jerusalem, go he with thee.
“ʻOku ou fai ʻae fono, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo ʻene kautaulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, ʻi hoku puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ʻi honau loto lelei ke ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, ke nau ʻalu mo koe.
14 For thou art sent fro the face of the kyng and of hise seuene counseleris, that thou visite Judee and Jerusalem in the lawe of thi God, which is in thin hond;
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻalu koe mei he tuʻi pea mo ʻene kau fakakaukau ʻe toko fitu, ke fehuʻi ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻa ho ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho nima;
15 and that thou bere siluer and gold, which the kyng and hise counseleris han offrid bi fre wille to God of Israel, whos tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
Pea ke fetuku ʻae siliva mo e koula, ʻaia kuo ʻatu fiemālie pe ʻe he tuʻi mo ʻene kau fakakaukau ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema hono fale nofoʻanga.
16 And take thou freli al siluer and gold, which euer thou fyndist in al the prouynce of Babiloyne, and the puple wole offre, and of preestis that offriden bi fre wille to the hows of her God, which is in Jerusalem;
Pea mo e siliva mo e koula kotoa pē ʻaia ke ke faʻa ʻilo ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Papilone, mo e meʻa ʻatu loto lelei pe ʻae kakai, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku ʻatu loto lelei pe maʻae fale ʻo honau ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema:
17 and bie thou bisili of this monei calues, rammes, lambren, and sacrifices, and moiste sacrifices of tho; and offre thou tho on the auter of the temple of youre God, which temple is in Jerusalem.
“Koeʻuhi ke ke fakatau vave ʻaki ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ni ʻae fanga pulu, mo e fanga sipitangata, mo e fanga lami, mo honau ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻainu, pea ke ʻatu ia ki he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻoe fale ʻo homou ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
18 But also if ony thing plesith to thee, and to thi britheren, for to do of the residue siluer and gold, do ye bi the wille of youre God;
Pea ko ia ʻe mata lelei kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi kāinga ke fai ki hono toe ʻoe siliva mo e koula, mou fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki he finangalo ʻo homou ʻOtua.
19 also bitake thou in the siyt of God in Jerusalem the vessels, that ben youun in to the seruyce of the hows of thi God.
Ko e ngaahi ipu foki naʻe tuku kiate koe ki he ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo ho ʻOtua, ke ke ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Selūsalema.
20 But also thou schalt yyue of the tresouris of the kyng, and of the comyn arke, `ethir purse, and of me `othere thingis, that ben nedeful in the hows of thi God, as myche euere as is nedeful, that thou spende.
Pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaonga ki he fale ʻo ho ʻOtua, ʻaia te ke loto ki ai ke foaki, foaki ia mei he fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi.
21 Y Artaxerses, kyng, haue ordeyned, and demyd to alle the keperis of the comyn arke, that ben biyende the flood, that what euer thing Esdras, the preest, writere of the lawe of God of heuene, axith of you, ye yyue with out tariyng,
“Pea ko au, ʻio, ko au ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi, ʻoku ou fai ʻae fono ki he kau tauhi koloa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu kituʻa ʻi he vaitafe, ke ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e tangata tohi ʻoe fono ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ke fai vave ia kiate ia,
22 `til to an hundrid talentis of siluer, and to an hundrid `mesuris clepid chorus of wheete, and til an hundrid mesuris clepid bathus of wyn, and `til to an hundrid `mesuris clepid bathus of oile, salt forsothe without mesure.
ʻO fai hake ki he taleniti siliva ʻe teau, mo e puha fua ʻoe uite ʻe teau, pea ki he kaloni ʻe fitungeau ma nimangofulu ʻoe uaine, pea ki he kaloni ʻe fitungeau ma nimangofulu ʻoe lolo, mo e māsima ʻe ʻikai lau ki hono lahi.
23 Al thing that perteyneth to the custom, `ethir religioun, of God of heuene, be youun diligentli in the hows of God of heuene, lest perauenture he be wrooth ayens the rewme of the kyng and of hise sones.
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe langi, tuku ke fai vave ia maʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe langi he ko e hā ka tuʻu ai ʻae houhau ki he puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi pe ki hono ngaahi foha?
24 Also we make knowun to you of alle the preestis, and dekenes, syngeris, and porteris, and Nathyneis, and mynystris of the hows of this God, `that ye han not power to put on hem tol, and tribute, and costis for keperis of the lond.
Pea ʻoku mau fakapapau foki kiate kimoutolu, ko e meʻa ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, mo e kau hiva, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau Netenimi, pe ko e kau tauhi ʻoe fale ni ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tala totongi, pe ha tukuhau, pe ha fakafatongia, kiate kinautolu.
25 Forsothe thou, Esdras, bi the wisdom of thi God, which is in thin hond, ordeyne iugis and gouernouris, that thei deme to the puple, which is biyende the flood, that is, to hem that kunnen the lawe of thi God, and the lawe of the kyng; but also teche ye freli vnkunnynge men.
“Pea ko koe, ʻe Esela, ʻo hangē ko e poto ʻa ho ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi ho nima, ke ke fakanofo ʻae kau pule, mo e kau fakamaau, ʻaia ke nau fakamaau ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he tuʻa vaitafe, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻilo lelei ʻae fono ʻa ho ʻOtua; pea mou ako ia, kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ki ai.
26 And ech man, that doth not the lawe of thi God, and the lawe of the kyng diligentli, doom schal be of hym, ethir in to the deeth, ethir in to exilyng, ethir in to condempnyng of his catel, ethir certis in to prisoun. And Esdras, the writere, seide, Blissid be the Lord God of oure fadris,
Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fai ki he fono ʻo ho ʻOtua, mo e fono ʻae tuʻi, ke fakahoko vave ʻae fakamaau kiate ia, pe ko ha meʻa ki he mate, pe ki he kapusi ia, pe ki he faʻao ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pe ki he fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula.”
27 that yaf this thing in the herte of the kyng, that he schulde glorifie the hows of the Lord,
“Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia kuo ne ʻai ʻae meʻa pehē ni ki he loto ʻoe tuʻi, ke fakamatamatalelei ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema:
28 which is in Jerusalem, and bowide his mercy in to me bifor the kyng, and hise counseleris, and bifore alle the myyti princes of the kyng. And Y was coumfortid bi the hond of `my Lord God, that was in me, and Y gederide of the sones of Israel princes, that stieden with me.
Pea kuo ne tuku ʻae angaʻofa kiate au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, mo ʻene kau fakakaukau, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki ongoongo lahi ʻae tuʻi. Pea naʻe fakamālohiʻi au ʻi he ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, pea ne u tānaki fakataha mei ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata tuʻu ki muʻa ke mau ʻalu hake mo au.”
