Ezera 6
1 A LAILA kauoha ae la o Dariu ke alii, imihia ma ka hale o na palapala, kahi i waiho ai na waiwai ilaila ma Babulona.
Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
2 A loaa iho la, ma Akemeta, ma ka halealii, o ko Media, he palapala, a peneia ka olelo i kakauia'i maloko.
A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
3 I ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii, kauoha ae la o ua Kuro la ke alii no ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema, E hauaia ka hale, kahi i kaumaha aku ai i na mohai, a e hoonohopaaia ke kumu; he kanaono hailima ke kiekie, a he kanaono hailima ka laula;
In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
4 Pakolu na papapohaku kalai, a e pakahi hoi ka papa laau hou; a e haawiia ka waiwai mai ka hale o ke alii mai:
with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
5 A o na kiaha gula hoi a me ke kala o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae mai ka luakini mai ma Ierusalema, a hali mai i Babulona, e hoihoiia'ku, a e haliia aku i ka luakini ma Ierusalema, o kela keia ma kona wahi iho, a e waiho ma ka hale o ke Akua.
Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
6 Ano hoi, e Tatenai, ke kiaaina ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, a me Setare bozenai, a me ko laua poe hoalawehana, ka poe Aparesaka, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, e hookaawaleia oukou mai ia wahi aku.
Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
7 E waiho malie oukou i ka hana o keia hale o ke Akua; a o ke alii kiaaina o na Iudaio, a me ka poe kahiko o na Iudaio, e hana lakou i keia hale o ke Akua ma kona wahi.
Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 Eia hoi ka'u o kauoha aku nei i ka mea a oukou e hana aku ai i na lunakahiko o keia poe Iudaio, no ka hana ana i keia hale o ke Akua: noloko mai o ka waiwai o ke alii, oia ka hookupu ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, e haawi koke ia'ku ka waiwai no keia poe kanaka, i keakea ole ia'i lakou.
Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
9 A o na mea e pono ai lakou, o na keikibipikane, a o na hipakane, a me na keikihipa, no na mohaikuni na ke Akua o ka lani, o ka palaoa, ka paakai, o ka waina, a me ka aila, e like me ke kauoha a na kahuna ma Ierusalema, e haawiia'ku ia na lakou i kela la keia la, aole ka ole:
That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
10 I kaumaha aku ai lakou i na mea ala i ke Akua o ka lani, a i pule aku hoi no ke ola o ke alii, a no kana mau keiki.
that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
11 A ke kauoha aku nei no hoi au, o kela kanaka keia kanaka e hoololi i keia olelo, e laweia ka laau mai kona hale mai, a kukuluia, e kaaweia oia maluna o ia mea, a e hooliloia kona hale i puu lepo no keia mea.
I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 A o ke Akua, nana i waiho kona inoa malaila, e luku aku ia i na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka, ke o aku ko lakou lima e hoololi, a e wawahi i keia hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema. Owau, o Dariu ka i kauoha aku; e hana koke ia hoi oia.
May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
13 Alaila o Tatenai, ke kiaaina ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, e Setare-bozenai, a me ko laua hoalawehana, e like me ka mea a ke alii i hoouna mai ai, pela lakou i hana koke aku ai.
Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
14 A hana aku la na luna kahiko o na Iudaio, a ua pomaikai lakou ma ka wanana a Hagai ke kaula, a me Zakaria ke keiki a Ido. A hana lakou, a hoopaa hoi, e like me ke kauoha a ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a like hoi me ke kauoha a Kuro, a me Dariu, a me Aretasaseta, ke alii o Peresia.
The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 A ua hoopaaia keia hale i ke kolu o ka la o ka malama Adara, oia ke oao o ka makahiki a Dariu ke alii i noho alii ai.
This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 A o na mamo a Iseraela, na kahuna, a me na Levi, a me na mea i koe o ka poe i pio, hoolaa aku la lakou i keia hale o ke Akua me ka olioli.
The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 A kaumaha aku la no ka hoolaa ana i keia hale o ke Akua, i hookahi haneri bipikane, i elua haneri hipakane, a i eha haneri keikihipa; a i umikumamalua na kaokane i mohaihala no ka Iseraela a pau, e like me na ohana o ka Iseraela.
They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 A hoonoho iho la lakou i na kahuna ma ko lakou mau papa, a me na Levi ma ko lakou mau papa, no ka oihana o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; e like me ko kauoha ma ka buke a Mose.
They set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 A malama aku la ka poe i pio i ka moliaola, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama mua.
The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 No ka mea, ua huikala pu ia na kahuna, a me na Levi, a ua maemae lakou a pau, a kalua aku la lakou i ka moliaola, no ka poe i pio a pau, a no ko lakou poe hoahanau na kahuna, a no lakou iho.
Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
21 A ai iho la na mamo a Iseraela, ka poe i hoi mai, mai ke pio ana mai, a me ka poe a pau i hookaawale ia lakou iho mai ka mea haumia o na lahuikanaka o ka aina, e imi ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela;
The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, ate,
22 A malama lakou i ka ahaaina berena hu ole i na la ehiku me ka olioli: no ka mea, o Iehova ka i hoohauoli mai ia lakou, a hoohuli mai i ka naau o ke alii o Asuria ia lakou, e hooikaika i ko lakou lima i ka hana ana i ka hale o ke Akua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.
