< Ezra 7 >
1 And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
He kah olka hnukah Persia manghai Artaxerxes kah ram ah Hilkiah koca Azariah kah a ca, Seraiah capa Ezra.
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
Shallum capa Hilkiah, Zadok capa Shallum, Ahitub capa Zadok.
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
Amariah capa Ahitub, Azariah capa, Meraioth capa Azariah.
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
Zerahiah capa Meraioth, Uzzi capa Zerahiah, Bukki capa Uzzi.
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the head priest;
Abishua capa Bukki, Phinekha capa Abishua, Eleazar capa Phinekha, khosoih boeilu Aaron capa Eleazar.
6 Ezra himself hath come up from Babylon, and he [is] a scribe ready in the law of Moses, that Jehovah God of Israel gave, and the king giveth to him — according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him — all his request.
Ezra he Babylon lamloh a mael vaengah Moses olkhueng dongkah a cadaek te amah loh a ming. Te te Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a paek. A Pathen BOEIPA kut loh anih soah a om dongah a kueknah boeih te manghai loh a taengah a paek.
7 And there go up of the sons of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek lamkah khaw, khosoih neh Levi lamkah khaw, laa sa neh thoh tawt khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw manghai Artaxerxes kah a kum rhih vaengah tah Jerusalem la cet uh.
8 And he cometh in to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [is in] the seventh year of the king,
Manghai kah kum rhih nah hla nga vaengah tah Jerusalem pawk.
9 for on the first of the month he hath founded the ascent from Babylon, and on the first of the fifth month he hath come in unto Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him,
Hla khat dongkah lamhmacuek hnin vaengah Babylon lamkah tangtlaeng a tongnah lamloh hla nga dongkah lamhmacuek hnin ah tah Jerusalem ah pawk. A Pathen kah kut tah anih soah then tangloeng.
10 for Ezra hath prepared his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do, and to teach in Israel statute and judgment.
Ezra he BOEIPA olkhueng thuep ham neh vai ham khaw, Israel khuiah oltlueh neh laitloeknah tukkil ham khaw a thinko cikngae.
11 And this [is] a copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commands of Jehovah, and of His statutes on Israel:
He kah capat catlaep he manghai Artaxerxes loh BOEIPA kah olpaek ol neh Israel ham a oltlueh dongkah cadaek saya, khosoih Ezra taengah a paek.
12 'Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the law of the God of heaven, and at such a time:
Manghai boeih kah manghai Artaxerxes loh vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra tah a yoethen pai.
13 By me hath been made a decree that every one who is willing, in my kingdom, of the people of Israel and of its priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem with thee, doth go;
Ka ram khui kah a puhlu boeih ham kai lamloh saithainah ka paek coeng. Israel pilnam neh a khosoih rhoek khaw, Levi khaw Jerusalem la caeh ham nang m'puei saeh.
14 because that from the king and his seven counsellors thou art sent, to inquire concerning Judah and concerning Jerusalem, with the law of God that [is] in thy hand,
He kong dongah Manghai neh anih kah olrhoep parhih taeng lamloh Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah na kut dongkah na Pathen oltlueh te thoelh hamla a pat coeng.
15 and to carry silver and gold that the king and his counsellors willingly offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle [is] in Jerusalem,
Amah kolhmuen Jerusalem kah Israel Pathen taengah manghai neh a olrhoep rhoek loh a puhlu cak neh sui khaw khuen ham om.
16 and all the silver and gold that thou findest in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will offerings of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly, for the house of their God that [is] in Jerusalem,
Cak neh sui boeih te Babylon paeng pum ah na hmuh bitni. Jerusalem kah a Pathen im ham tah pilnam khaw a puhlu tih khosoih rhoek long khaw a puhlu.
17 therefore thou dost speedily buy with this money, bullocks, rams, lambs, and their presents, and their libations, and dost bring them near to the altar of the house of your God that [is] in Jerusalem,
He kong ah tangka nen he vaito, tutal, tuca khaw, a khosaa neh a tuisi khaw tluem tluem lai. Te te Jerusalem ah na Pathen im kah hmueihtuk dongah nawn.
18 and that which to thee and to thy brethren is good to do with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God ye do.'
Namah taengkah neh na manuca taengkah boeih te tah cak khaw, sui khaw a coih nen te a then la saii lamtah na Pathen kah ngaihnah bangla saii uh.
19 'And the vessels that are given to thee, for the service of the house of thy God, make perfect before the God of Jerusalem;
Te hnopai te na Pathen im kah thothuengnah ham nang taengah kam paek. Te te Jerusalem kah Pathen taengah cum coeng.
20 and the rest of the needful things of the house of thy God, that it falleth to thee to give, thou dost give from the treasure-house of the king.
Na Pathen im kah a tloe a ngoe dongah thoh hamla nang soah aka tla te tah manghai cabu im lamkah te thoo mai.
21 'And by me — I Artaxerxes the king — is made a decree to all treasurers who [are] beyond the river, that all that Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of heaven, doth ask of you, be done speedily:
Manghai Artaxerxes kai kamah lamloh sok paem kah hnokhoem boeih taengah saithainah ka paek. A cungkuem dongah vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra nang n'dawt saeh lamtah tluem tluem saii.
22 Unto silver a hundred talents, and unto wheat a hundred cors, and unto wine a hundred baths, and unto oil a hundred baths, and salt without reckoning;
Cak talent yakhat hil, cangyen kore yakhat hil, misurtui bath yakhat hil, situi bath yakhat neh lungkaehtael toeklek toekna pawt hil tawn saeh.
23 all that [is] by the decree of the God of heaven, let be done diligently for the house of the God of heaven; for why is there wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons?
Vaan Pathen kah saithainah lamkah boeih he vaan Pathen im dongah tluem tluem saii saeh. Balae tih kosi manghai kah ram neh a ca a bo thil eh.
24 'And to you we are making known, that upon any of the priests and Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, and servants of the house of God, tribute and custom there is no authority to lift up.
Te phoeiah khosoih boeih neh Levi khaw, laasa rhoek khaw, thoh tawt rhoek khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw, Pathen im kah tho aka thueng he khaw, mangmu neh hlang mangmu khaw, cawn khaw, amih soah coi ham saithainah om pawh tila namah taengah mingpha saeh.
25 'And thou, Ezra, according to the wisdom of thy God, that [is] in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may be judges to all the people who are beyond the river, to all knowing the law of thy God, and he who hath not known ye cause to know;
Ezra nang khaw na Pathen kah cueihnah rhangneh na kut dongkah aka taemrhai ham neh laitloekung la m'hmoel coeng. Te tlam te a om uh daengah ni sok paem kah pilnam cungkuem taengah neh na Pathen oltlueh aka ming boeih taengah khaw, na ming bangla aka ming pawt taengah khaw lai aka tloek rhoek loh lai a tloek thai eh.
26 and any who doth not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, speedily is judgment done upon him, whether to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of riches, and to bonds.'
Na Pathen kah oltlueh neh manghai kah oltlueh aka vai pawt boeih te tah laitloeknah tluem tluem om saeh. Anih te dueknah nen khaw, haeknah nen khaw, a koe tuuknah nen khaw, pinnah nen khaw saii saeh.
27 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of our fathers, who hath given such a thing as this in the heart of the king, to beautify the house of Jehovah that [is] in Jerusalem,
Mamih napa rhoek kah Pathen Yahweh tah a yoethen pai saeh. Tahae kah bangla Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im te cam hamla manghai kah lungbuei ah a cuen sak.
28 and unto me hath stretched out kindness before the king and his counsellors, and before all the mighty heads of the king: and I have strengthened myself as the hand of Jehovah my God [is] upon me, and I gather out of Israel heads to go up with me.
Kai ham khaw manghai neh a olrhoep mikhmuh ah, hlangrhalh manghai kah mangpa boeih taengah khaw sitlohnah a tueng sak. Ka sokah kah ka Pathen BOEIPA kut rhangneh kamah khaw ka moem uh. Te dongah kamah neh aka puei la Israel boeilu te ka coi.
