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.
But, when the seventh month was come, and the sons of Israel were in cities, then did the people gather themselves together as one man, unto 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 arose—Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, —to offer thereon ascending-sacrifices, as it was 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.
So they settled the altar upon its stands, for, dread, was upon them, because of the peoples of the countries, —therefore caused they to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, ascending-sacrifices for the morning and for the evening.
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.
And they kept the festival of booths, as it was written, —and the ascending-offering of each day upon its own day, by number, according to regulation, the matter of a day upon its 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.
and, afterwards, the continual ascending-sacrifice, and, on the new moons, and on all the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the hallowed things, —also for every one that volunteered a voluntary offering unto Yahweh.
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.
From the first day of the seventh month, began they to offer up ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, —but, the temple of Yahweh, had not had its foundation 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.
And they gave silver, unto the masons and carpenters, —and food and drink and oil, unto them of Zidon and unto them of Tyre, to bring in cedar-trees out of the Lebanon, unto the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia unto them.
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.
Now, in the second year of their coming in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak and the rest of their brethren—the priests and the Levites, and all that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and stationed the Levites, of twenty years old and upwards, to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh.
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 they took their station—even Jeshua, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah, as one man to preside over the doer of the work in the house of God, the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.
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.
And, when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, then the priests, enrobed, took their stand with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to offer praise unto Yahweh, after the instructions of David king of Israel.
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, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh—For he is good, for, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.
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 priests and the Levites and the ancestral chiefs, who were old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, were weeping with a loud voice, —many, however, shouting and rejoicing, with voice raised on high;
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.
so that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people, —for, the people, did shout with a great shout, and, the noise, was heard afar off.
