< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
Atalandira mawuwo mfumu Dariyo anapereka lamulo ndipo kafukufuku anachitikadi ku Babuloni mʼnyumba yosungira chuma ndi mabuku ambiri yakale.
2 and there hath been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a roll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
Ndipo ku Ekibatana, likulu la dera la Mediya, kunapezeka mpukutu mmene munalembedwa kuti, Chikumbutso:
3 'In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king hath made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: the house let be builded in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
Mʼchaka choyamba cha ufumu wa Koresi, mfumuyo inapereka lamulo lokhudza Nyumba ya Mulungu mu Yerusalemu. Analamula kuti Nyumba ya Mulungu imangidwenso kukhala malo woperekerako nsembe. Maziko ake amangidwe kolimba pa malo pomwe paja pali maziko ake akale ndipo mulitali mwake mukhale mamita 27, mulifupi mwake mukhale mamita 27.
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and the outlay let be given out of the king's house.
Mumange mizere itatu ya miyala yayikulu ndi mzere umodzi wa matabwa, ndalama zake zolipirira ntchitoyo zichokere mʼthumba la ufumu.
5 'And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
Ndipo ziwiya zagolide ndi zasiliva za ku Nyumba ya Mulungu zimene Nebukadinezara anatenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu kupita nazo ku Babuloni, zonsezi zibwezedwe ndipo zipite ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu. Chilichonse chikabwezedwe pamalo pake mʼNyumbayo.
6 'Now, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from hence;
Tsopano Tatenai, bwanamkubwa wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate ndiponso Setari-Bozenai pamodzi ndi anzanu muchokeko kumeneko.
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
Ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulunguyi muyileke. Mulekeni bwanamkubwa wa Ayuda ndiponso akuluakulu a Ayuda kuti amangenso Nyumba ya Mulunguyo pamalo pake.
8 'And by me is made a decree concerning that which ye do with the elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of the riches of the king, that [are] of the tribute beyond the river, speedily let the outlay be given to these men, that they cease not;
Kuwonjezera pamenepo, ndikukhazikitsa lamulo lonena za mmene mudzachitire ndi akuluakulu a Ayuda powathandiza kumanganso Nyumba ya Mulunguyo: Anthuwa muwalipire msanga kuchokera mʼthumba la ufumu, kuchotsa pa msonkho wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate.
9 and what they are needing — both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem — let be given to them day by day without fail,
Ndipo zonse zofunikira monga, ana angʼombe, nkhosa zazimuna, ana ankhosa aamuna zoperekera nsembe yopsereza kwa Mulungu wakumwamba, ndi tirigu, mchere, vinyo ndi mafuta monga mmene ansembe a ku Yerusalemu angafunire, muziwapatsa zimenezo tsiku ndi tsiku ndipo musamalephere kutero.
10 that they be bringing near sweet savours to the God of heaven, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Zikatero ndiye kuti azipereka nsembe za fungo lokomera Mulungu wakumwamba ndi kupempherera moyo wa mfumu ndi ana ake.
11 'And by me is made a decree, that any one who changeth this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be smitten on it, and his house let be made a dunghill for this.
Ndikulamulanso kuti ngati wina asintha zimene ndalamulazi, mtanda umodzi wa nyumba yake udzasololedwa ndi kumunkhomera pamenepo ndipo nyumba yake adzayisandutse dzala.
12 And God, who caused His name to dwell there, doth cast down any king and people that putteth forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; speedily let it be done.'
Mulungu amene anasankha kuti anthu azimupembedza pa malo amenewa, achotse mfumu iliyonse kapena munthu aliyense amene adzasinthe zimenezi kapena kuwononga Nyumba ya Mulungu ya ku Yerusalemuko. Ine Dariyo ndikuyika lamuloli, aliyense alitsate mosamala kwambiri.
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king hath sent, so they have done speedily;
Tsono potsata zomwe analamula mfumu Dariyo, Tatenai bwanamkubwa wa dera la Patsidya pa Yufurate, Setari-Bozenai ndi anzawo anatsatira mosamala kwambiri zimene mfumu Dariyo analamula.
14 and the elders of the Jews are building and prospering through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ndipo akuluakulu a Ayuda anapitiriza ntchito yomanga ija molimbikitsidwa ndi aneneri Hagai ndi Zekariya mwana wa Ido. Anamaliza ntchito yomanga Nyumbayo, monga momwe Mulungu wa Israeli analamulira ndiponso potsata lamulo la Koresi, Dariyo ndi Aritasasita, mafumu a ku Perisiya.
15 And this house hath gone out till the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Anatsiriza kumanga Nyumbayo pa tsiku lachitatu la mwezi wa Adara mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi cha ulamuliro wa mfumu Dariyo.
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
Choncho Aisraeli, ansembe, Alevi ndi anthu ena onse amene anali atabwerako ku ukapolo, anachita chikondwerero chopereka Nyumba ya Mulungu mwachimwemwe.
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks a hundred, rams two hundred, lambs four hundred; and young he-goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
Poporeka Nyumba ya Mulunguyi, anthu anapereka nsembe za ngʼombe zazimuna 100, nkhosa zazimuna 200, ana ankhosa aamuna 400. Anaperekanso mbuzi zazimuna 12 ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo a anthu onse, potsata chiwerengero cha mafuko a Israeli.
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ndipo anakhazikitsa ansembe ndi Alevi pa ntchito zawo zotumikira Mulungu mu Yerusalemu monga zinalembedwera mʼbuku la Mose.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Pa tsiku la khumi ndi chinayi la mwezi woyamba, obwera ku ukapolo aja anachita chikondwerero cha Paska.
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together — all of them [are] pure — and they slaughter the passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ansembe ndi Alevi anali atadziyeretsa ndipo onsewo anali oyeretsedwa. Alevi anapha mwana wankhosa wa Paska kuphera onse amene anatuluka ku ukapolo, ansembe anzawo ndi iwo eni.
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and every one who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land unto them, to seek to Jehovah, God of Israel, do eat,
Nkhosa ya Paskayo anayidya ndi Aisraeli onse amene anatuluka ku ukapolo, wina aliyense amene anaphatikana nawo atadziyeretsa ku zonyansa za mitundu ina ya anthu akunja a mʼdzikomo kuti apembedze Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
22 and they make the feast of unleavened things seven days with joy, for Jehovah made them to rejoice, and turned round the heart of the king of Asshur unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Choncho pa masiku asanu ndi awiri anasangalala pa chikondwerero cha buledi wopanda yisiti, chifukwa Yehova anawadzaza ndi chimwemwe. Iye anatembenuza mtima wa mfumu ya ku Asiriya motero kuti iyo inakomera mtima Aisraeli ndi kuwathandiza ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulungu, Mulungu wa Israeli.
