Ezra 3
1 And the seventh month cometh, and the sons of Israel [are] in the cities, and the people are gathered, as one men, unto Jerusalem.
Og der den syvende Maaned var kommen, og Israels Børn vare i deres Stæder, da samledes Folket som een Mand til Jerusalem.
2 And rise doth Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and they build the altar of the God of Israel, to cause to ascend upon it burnt-offerings, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God.
Og Jesua, Jozadaks Søn, og hans Brødre, Præsterne, gjorde sig rede tillige med Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, og hans Brødre og byggede Israels Guds Alter til at ofre Brændoffer derpaa, som skrevet er i Moses, den Guds Mands Lov.
3 And they establish the altar on its bases, because of the fear upon them of the peoples of the lands, and he causeth burnt-offerings to ascend upon it to Jehovah, burnt-offerings for the morning and for the evening.
Og de oprejste Alteret paa dets Grundvold; thi der var Forfærdelse over dem for Folkene i Landene, og de ofrede derpaa Brændofre til Herren, Brændofre om Morgenen og om Aftenen.
4 And they make the feast of the booths as it is written, and the burnt-offering of the day daily in number according to the ordinance, the matter of a day in its day;
Og de holdt Løvsalernes Højtid, som det var foreskrevet, og ofrede Brændofre hver Dag efter det fastsatte Tal, som Skik var, hver Dags Ting paa sin Dag;
5 and after this a continual burnt-offering, and for new moons, and for all appointed seasons of Jehovah that are sanctified; and for every one who is willingly offering a willing-offering to Jehovah.
derefter ogsaa det bestandige Brændoffer og det for Nymaanederne og for alle Herrens helligede Højtider og for enhver, siom bragte et frivilligt Offer for Herren.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they have begun to cause burnt-offerings to ascend to Jehovah, and the temple of Jehovah hath not been founded,
Fra den første Dag i den syvende Maaned begyndte de at ofre Herren Brændofre, men Herrens Tempels Grundvold var ikke lagt.
7 and they give money to hewers and to artificers, and food, and drink, and oil to Zidonians and to Tyrians, to bring in cedar-trees from Lebanon unto the sea of Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus king of Persia concerning them.
Og de gave Penge til Stenhuggerne og Tømmermændene og Mad og Drikke og Olie til dem fra Sidon og Tyrus, at de skulde føre Cedertræer fra Libanon til Havet imod Jafo efter den Tilladelse, de havde faaet af Kyrus, Kongen af Persien.
8 And in the second year of their coming in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those coming from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appoint the Levites from a son of twenty years and upward, to overlook the work of the house of Jehovah.
Men i det andet Aar, efter at de vare komne til Guds Hus i Jerusalem, i den anden Maaned, da begyndte Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, og Jesua, Jozadaks Søn, og de andre af deres Brødre, Præsterne og Leviterne og alle, som vare komne af Fangenskabet til Jerusalem, og de beskikkede Leviterne, fra tyve Aar gamle og derover, til at have Tilsyn med Arbejdet ved Herrens Hus.
9 And Jeshua standeth, [and] his sons, and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah together, to overlook those doing the work in the house of God; the sons of Henadad, [and] their sons and their brethren the Levites.
Da stode Jesua, hans Sønner og hans Brødre, Kadmiel med hans Sønner og Judas Børn som een Mand for at have Tilsyn med dem, som arbejdede ved Guds Hus, i lige Maade Henadads Børn, deres Børn og deres Brødre, Leviterne.
10 And those building have founded the temple of Jehovah, and they appoint the priests, clothed, with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, by means of [the instruments of] David king of Israel.
Der Bygningsmændene lagde Grundvolden til Herrens Tempel, da lode de Præsterne staa iførte deres Præstedragt med Basuner og Leviterne, Asafs Børn, med Cymbler for at love Herren efter Davids, Israels Konges, Indretning.
11 And they respond in praising and in giving thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age His kindness [is] over Israel, and all the people have shouted — a great shout — in giving praise to Jehovah, because the house of Jehovah hath been founded.
Og de sang, idet de lovede og takkede Herren, at han er god, at hans Miskundhed er evindelig over Israel; og alt Folket raabte med et stort Frydeskrig, idet de lovede Herren, fordi Grundvolden til Herrens Hus var lagt.
12 And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house — in this house being founded before their eyes — are weeping with a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the voice;
Men mange af Præsterne og Leviterne og Øversterne for Fædrenehusene, de gamle, som havde set det første Hus, græd med høj Røst, da dette andet stod paa sin Grundvold for deres Øjne; men mange opløftede Røsten med Frydeskrig og med Glæde,
13 and the people are not discerning the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people are shouting — a great shout — and the noise hath been heard unto a distance.
saa at Folket kunde ikke skelne Røsten af Glædens Frydeskrig fra Røsten af Folkets Graad, fordi Folket raabte med et stort Skrig, saa at man hørte Røsten langt borte.
