< Ezera 1 >
1 I KA makahiki akahi o Kuro ke alii o Peresia, i hookoia'i ka olelo a Iehova ma ka waha o Ieremia, hoala mai o Iehova i ka naau o Kuro ke alii o Peresia, a kukala aku ia ma kona aupuni a pau, a ma ka palapala hoi, i ka i ana'e,
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, Yahweh fulfilled his word that came from the mouth of Jeremiah, and stirred Cyrus's spirit. Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom. This is what was written and spoken:
2 Peneia ka olelo a Kuro ke alii o Peresia, O Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, ua haawi mai ia no'u i na aupuni a pau o ka honua; a ua kauoha mai oia ia'u e hana i hale nona ma Ierusalema i Iuda.
“Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, God of Heaven, gave me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem in Judea.
3 Owai la ka mea iwaena o oukou no kona poe kanaka a pau? o kona Akua kekahi me ia, a e pii aku ia ma Ierusalema i Iuda, a e hana i ka hale ma Ierusalema no Iehova ke Akua o ka laeraela, oia ke Akua.
Whoever is from his people (may his God be with him) may go up to Jerusalem and build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 A o kela mea keia mea e noho ana ma na wahi a pau ana e noho la, e kokua mai na kanaka o kona wahi ia ia me ke kala, a me ke gula, a me ka waiwai, a me na holoholona, me ka makana no hoi no ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema.
People of any part of the kingdom where survivors of that land are living should provide them with silver and gold, possessions and animals, as well as a freewill offering for God's house in Jerusalem.”
5 Alaila ku ae la ka poe koikoi o na makua no ka Iuda, a me ka Beniamina, a me na kahuna, a me na Levi, o na mea a pau a ke Akua i hoala mai ai i ko lakou mau naau e pii ae e hana i ka hale no Iehova ma Ierusalema.
Then the heads of the ancestors' clans of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and Levites, and everyone whose spirit God stirred to go and build his house arose.
6 A kokua mai no ko lakou poe hoalauna a pau ia lakou me na kiaha kala, a me ke gula, me ka waiwai, a me na holoholona, a me na mea maikai, a he okoa hoi na mea a pau i haawi lokomaikai ia mai.
Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
7 A lawe mai la o Kuro, ke alii, i na kiaha o ka hale o Iehova, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae mai Ierusalema mai, a waiho ia lakou iloko o ka hale o kona mau akua;
Cyrus king of Persia also released the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and put in his own gods' houses.
8 Oia mau mea ka Kuro ke alii o Peresia i lawe mai ai iwaho, ma ka lima o Miteredate, ka puukukala, a helu aku la ia mau mea no Sesehazara, ka luna no ka Iuda.
Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
9 A eia ka huina o ia mau mea; he kanakolu ipu gula, a hookahi tausani ipu kala, he iwakaluakumamaiwa pahi,
This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
10 He kanakolu bola gula, eha haneri a me ka umi keu na bola kala maikai iki iho, a o na kiaha e ae hookahi tausani.
thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
11 O na mea gula a pau, a me ke kala, elima tausani a me na haneri eha. O keia mau mea a pau ka Sesehazara i lawe aku ai i ka pii ana o ka poe pio mai Babulona aku a Ierusalema.
There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went from Babylon to Jerusalem.
