Ezera 3
1 A HIKI mai ka hiku o ka malama, a e noho ana na mamo a Iseraela ma na kulanakauhale, hoakoakoaia ae la na kanaka me he kanaka hookahi la ma Ierusalema.
By the seventh month, the Israelites had settled in their towns, and the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem.
2 Alaila ku ae la o Iesua ke keiki a Iozadaka, a me kona mau hoahanau, na kahuna, a o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a me kona poe hoahanau, hana lakou i ke kuahu no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni maluna ona, e like me ka palapala ma ke kanawai o Mose ke kanaka no ke Akua.
Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow priests, along with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates, began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.
3 A kau aku la lakou i ke kuahu maluna o kona mau kahua, no ka mea, ua kau mai ka makau maluna o lakou no na kanaka o na aina e; a kaumaha aku maluna ona i na mohaikuni ia Iehova, i na mohaikuni no kakahiaka a no ke ahiahi.
They set up the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD—both the morning and evening burnt offerings—even though they feared the people of the land.
4 A malama lakou i ka ahaaina kauhalelewa, e like me ka palapala, a kaumaha aku i ka mohaikuni no kela la keia la, me ka helu ana, e like me ka hana mau no kela la keia la.
They also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles in accordance with what is written, and they offered burnt offerings daily based on the number prescribed for each day.
5 A mahope o ia mea, i ka mohaikuni hoomau, no na mahina hou a no na ahaaina a pau na Iehova i hoolaaia, a no na mea a pau i mohai oluolu aku ai i ka mohai aloha no Iehova.
After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as all the freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
6 Mai ka la mua o ka hiku o ka malama ko lakou hoomaka ana e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni ia Iehova. Aka, o ka luakini o Iehova aole i hookumuia.
On the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.
7 A haawi aku la lakou i ke kala no ka poe kalai pohaku, a no ka poe paahana; a me ka ai hoi, a me ka mea inu, a me ka aila ua ko Zidona, a na ko Turo, i lawe mai lakou i na laau kedara mai Lebanona mai a ke kai o Iopa, e like me ka mea a Kuro ke alii o Peresia i ae mai ai ia lakou.
They gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food and drink and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as authorized by Cyrus king of Persia.
8 A i ka lua o ka makahiki o ko lakou hele ana mai i ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema, i ka lua o ka malama, i hoomaka ai o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a o Iesua ke keiki a Iozadaka, a me ke koena o ko lakou poe hoahanau na kahuna, a me ua Levi, a me ka poe a pau i hele mai, mai ke pio ana mai a Ierusalema; a hoonoho i na Levi, mai ka iwakalua o na makahiki a i keu aku, i nana lakou i ka hana o ka hale no Iehova.
In the second month of the second year after they had arrived at the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their associates including the priests, the Levites, and all who had returned to Jerusalem from the captivity, began the work. They appointed Levites twenty years of age or older to supervise the construction of the house of the LORD.
9 Ku pu ae la o Iesua me kana poe keiki, a me kona poe hoahanau, o Kademiela a me kana mau keiki, no na keiki a Iuda, e nana aku maluna o ka poe paahana ma ka hale o ke Akua; o na keiki hoi a Henadada, me ka lakou poe keiki, a me ko lakou mau hoahanau, o na Levi.
So Jeshua and his sons and brothers, Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Yehudah), and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together to supervise those working on the house of God.
10 A i ka wa i hookumu ai ka poe hana hale i ka luakini o Iehova, hoonoho lakou i na kahuna i kahikoia me na pu, a me na Levi, na keiki a Asapa, me na kimehala, e hoolea aku ia Iehova, e like me ka mea a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela i kauoha ai.
When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their positions to praise the LORD, as David king of Israel had prescribed.
11 A mele aku lakou me ka hoolea ana, a me ka hoomaikai ana ia Iehova; No ka mea, he maikai oia, a he mau loa kona aloha i ka Iseraela. A hooho ae la na kanaka a pau me ka hooho nui, i ko lakou hoolea ana ia Iehova no ka hookumu ana i ka hale o Iehova.
And they sang responsively with praise and thanksgiving to the LORD: “For He is good; for His loving devotion to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
12 Aka, nui na kahuna, a me na Levi, a me ka poe koikoi o na makua, o na mea kahiko, na mea i ike i ka hale mua, i ka hookumu ana o keia hale imua o ko lakou maka, auwe iho la lakou me ka leo nui; a nui no hoi ka poe i hooho me ka leo kiekie no ka olioli.
But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads who had seen the first temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple. Still, many others shouted joyfully.
13 Nolaila aole i hiki i na kanaka ke hookaawale i ka leo o ka hooho olioli ana a me ka leo o ka uwe ana o na kanaka; no ka mea, ua hooho na kanaka me ka hooho nui, a ua loheia ka leo ma kahi loihi.
The people could not distinguish the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people were making so much noise. And the sound was heard from afar.
