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,
Bangʼ gigi duto, e kinde mar loch Artaksases ruodh Pasia, Ezra wuod Seraya, ma wuod Azaria, ma wuod Hilkia,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
ma wuod Shalum, ma wuod Zadok, ma wuod Ahitub,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
ma wuod Amaria, ma wuod Azaria, ma wuod Merayoth,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
ma wuod Zerahia, ma wuod Uzi, ma wuod Buki,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the head priest;
ma wuod Abishua, ma wuod Finehas, ma wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo maduongʼ;
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-ni noduogo koa Babulon. Ne en japuonj man-gi lony mathoth kuom Chik Musa, ma Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nochiwo. Ruoth nomiye gimoro amora mano kwayo, nimar lwet Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasache ne ni kuome.
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.
Jo-Israel mamoko, kaachiel gi jodolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach kod jotij hekalu, bende nobiro Jerusalem e higa mar abiriyo mar Ruoth Artaksases.
8 And he cometh in to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [is in] the seventh year of the king,
Ezra nochopo Jerusalem e dwe mar abich mar higa mar abiriyo mar ruoth.
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,
Nochako wuodhe koa Babulon e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo, kendo nochopo Jerusalem e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abich, nimar lwedo mangʼwon mar Nyasache ne ni kuome.
10 for Ezra hath prepared his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do, and to teach in Israel statute and judgment.
Nimar Ezra nosechiwore owuon ne somo matut kendo rito Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye, kod puonjo chikene gi buchene e Israel.
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:
Ma e baruwa machalre gi mane mane Ruoth Artaksases omiyo Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj, ngʼatno mosomo weche maluwore gi chike kod buche Jehova Nyasaye ne Israel:
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:
Artaksases, ruoth mar ruodhi, Ne Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj mar Chik Nyasach Polo: Amosi.
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;
Koro achiwo chik ni ja-Israel moro amora manie pinya, kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, madwaro dhi Jerusalem kodi, nyalo dhi.
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,
Oori gi ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko abiriyo mondo inon wach kaka Juda gi Jerusalem dhi kaluwore gi chik Nyasachi manie lweti.
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,
To bende, nyaka idhi gi fedha kod dhahabu ma ruoth gi jongʼadne rieko osechiwo kuom hero mag-gi giwegi ne Nyasach Israel, ma kar dak mare en Jerusalem,
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,
kaachiel gi fedha gi dhahabu duto ma unyalo yudo koa e gwengʼ mar Babulon, kanyakla gi chiwo ma ji kod jodolo golo ma en chiwo mar hera ne hekalu mar Nyasachgi e Jerusalem.
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,
Gi pesani nyaka ine ni ingʼiewo rwedhi, imbe kod nyithi rombe machwo, kanyakla gi chiwo mag-gi mag cham kod misango miolo piny, kendo gitimgo misango ewi kendo mar hekalu mar Nyasachi e Jerusalem.
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.'
In kod oweteni ma jo-Yahudi unyalo timo gima uneno ka ber gi fedha gi dhahabu modongʼ, kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasachi.
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;
Chiwne Nyasach Jerusalem gigo duto moket e lweti mar dendo Nyasaye e hekalu mar Nyasachi.
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.
Kendo gimoro amora midwaro mar hekalu mar Nyasachi ma inyalo bedo gi thuolo mar chiwo, inyalo chiwe koa e keno ma ka ruoth.
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:
Koro an, Ruoth Artaksases, achiwo chik ni kuonde keno duto mag Yufrate ochiw gi chia gimoro amora ma Ezra jadolo, japuonj Chik mar Nyasach polo, nyalo kwayou, kaka
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;
fedha madirom kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen, gunde mag ngano ma pek romo kilo alufu apar gaboro, divai maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, mo maromo lita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo, kod chumbi mathoth ma ok nyal pim.
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?
Gimoro amora ma Nyasach polo osechano, we otime gi chia ne hekalu mar Nyasach polo. En angʼo momiyo mirima dibed kuom pinyruoth gi yawuote?
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.
Bende nyaka ingʼe ni ionge gi teko mar chuno ji golo osuru, kata chiwo kata chudo ewi jadolo, jo-Lawi, jower, jorit rangach, jatij hekalu moro amora kata jotich mamoko e odni mar Nyasaye.
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;
To in, Ezra, kaluwore gi rieko matut mar Nyasachi, ma in godo, yier jongʼad bura matindo kod jongʼad bura madongo mondo ongʼad bura gadiera ne jo-Yufrate duto, ma gin joma ongʼeyo chike Nyasachi. Kendo nyaka ipuonj ngʼato angʼata mokia chikego.
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.'
Ngʼato angʼata ma ok luor chik Nyasachi kod chik ruoth nyaka kume e yor tho, dare, pe gige, kata tere e od twech.
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,
Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwerewa, moseketo e chuny ruoth mondo luor obed ne od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem e yo machalo kama
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.
kendo moserieyo lwete maber mar ngʼwono ne an e nyim ruoth kod jongʼadne rieko kod jotend ruoth maroteke mondo omiya luor. Nikech lwet Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha neni kuoma, ne abedo gi chir mi achoko jotelo duto moa Israel mondo odhi koda.
