Ezra 5
1 And prophesied have the prophets, (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) unto the Jews who [are] in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel — unto them.
तब हाग्गै अगमवक्ता र इद्दोका छोरा जकरिया अगमवक्ताले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा यहूदा र यरूशलेमका यहूदीहरूलाई अगमवाणी बोले ।
2 Then have Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting them.
शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल र योसादाकका छोरा येशूअ उठे, र आफ्ना सहयोगी अगमवक्ताहरूका साथमा मिलेर यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउन सुरु गरे ।
3 At that time come to them hath Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, 'Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?'
तब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू आए र तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “यो मन्दिरको निर्माण गर्ने र पर्खालहरू सम्पन्न गर्ने आज्ञा तिमीहरूलाई कसले दियो?”
4 Then thus we have said to them, 'What [are] the names of the men who are building this building?'
तिनीहरूले यसो पनि भने, “यो भवनलाई बनाउने मानिसका नाउँहरू के-के हुन्?”
5 And the eye of their God hath been upon the elders of the Jews, and they have not caused them to cease till the matter goeth to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.
तर परमेश्वरको दृष्टि यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूमाथि थियो, र तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई रोक्न सकेनन् । राजाकहाँ एउटा चिट्ठी पठाउने र त्यसको जवाफमा एउटा आदेश आउने काम नहुन्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूलाई कसैले रोकेन ।
6 The copy of a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, hath sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, unto Darius the king.
यो यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका राज्यपाल तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनीहरूका सहयोगीहरूले दारा राजालाई पठाएका चिट्ठीको प्रतिलिपी यही हो ।
7 A letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in it:
तिनीहरूले लेखेर दारा राजालाई पठाएको विवरण यही हो, “हजुरमा अपार शान्ति रहोस् ।
8 'To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.
हामी यहूदामा महान् परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा गयौं भन्ने कुरा हजुरलाई जाहेर होस् । ठुला-ठुला ढुङ्गाहरूले यो निर्माण हुँदैछ र पर्खालमा काठहरू राखिंदैछन् । यो काम निकै राम्रोसँग गरिएको छ, र तिनीहरूका हातमा राम्ररी अगाडि बढिरहेको छ ।
9 Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?
हामीले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई सोध्यौं, 'यो मन्दिर र यी पर्खालहरू बनाउन तिमीहरूलाई कसले आदेश दियो?'
10 And also their names we have asked of them, to let thee know, that we might write the names of the men who [are] at their head.
कस-कसले तिनीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरेका रहेछन् भनी हजुरलाई थाहा होस् भनेर हामीले तिनीहरूका नाउँ पनि सोध्यौं ।
11 'And thus they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:
तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए र भने, 'हामी स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका परमेश्वरका सेवकहरू हौं, र हामीले यस मन्दिरलाई पुनर्निर्माण गरिरहेका छौं जसलाई धेरै वर्ष पहिले इस्राएलका महान् राजाले निर्माण गरेका र पुरा गरेका थिए ।
12 but after that our fathers made the God of heaven angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed to Babylon;
तापनि जब हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्वरलाई रिस उठाए, तब उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बेबिलोनका कल्दी राजा नबूकदनेसरको हातमा सुम्पनुभयो जसले यस मन्दिरलाई नष्ट पारे र मानिसहरूलाई बेबिलोनमा कैदमा लगे ।
13 but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God,
तापनि कोरेस बेबिलोनका राजा बन्नुभएको पहिलो वर्षमा कोरेसले परमेश्वरको मन्दिर पुनर्निर्माण गर्ने आदेश जारी गर्नुभयो ।
14 and also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them hath Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made governor,
नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट बेबिलोनको मन्दिरमा लगेका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सुन र चाँदीका वस्तुहरू पनि राजा कोरेसले फिर्ता गरिदिए । आफूले गभर्नर बनाएका शेशबस्सरलाई उहाँले यी थोकहरू दिनुभयो ।
15 and said to him, These vessels lift up, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is builded on its place.
राजाले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “यी थोकहरू लैजाऊ । जाऊ र ति यरूशलेमको मन्दिरमा राख । त्यहाँ परमेश्वरको मन्दिर पुनर्निमाण होस् ।”
16 Then hath this Sheshbazzar come — he hath laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from thence even till now it hath been building, and is not finished.
तब यिनै शेशबस्सर आए र यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको जग बसाले । अनि अहिले यो निर्माण हुँदैछ, तर अझै सकिएको छैन ।'
17 'And now, if to the king it be good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that of Cyrus the king there was made a decree to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he doth send unto us.'
अब राजाको हजुरीमा असल लागेमा, राजा कोरेसले यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउन आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो कि थिएन भनी बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा अनुसन्धान होस् । त्यसपछि राजाबाट हामीलाई आफ्नो निर्णय पठाउने कष्ट होस् ।”
