For vpon the first day of the first moneth began he to goe vp from Babel, and on the first day of the fift moneth came he to Ierusalem, according to the good hande of his God that was vpon him.
10 No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau o Ezera i kona naau e imi i ke kanawai o Iehova, a e hana aku hoi, a e ao aku iloko o ka Iseraela i ke kanawai, a me ka olelo kupaa.
For Ezra had prepared his heart to seeke the Lawe of the Lord, and to doe it, and to teach the precepts and iudgements in Israel.
11 Eia ko kope o ka palapala a Aretasaseta ke alii i haawi aku ai ia Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo, he kakauolelo no na kauoha a Iehova, a me kona mau kanawai i ka Iseraela.

And to carry the siluer and the gold, which the King and his cousellers willingly offer vnto the God of Israel (whose habitation is in Ierusalem)
16 A o ke kala a pau a me ke gula e loaa ia oe iloko o ka aina o Babulona nei, me na manawalea a na kanaka, a me na kahuna i mohai ai no ka hale o ko lakou Akua ma Ierusalema;

Whatsoeuer is by the commandement of the God of heauen, let it be done speedily for the house of the God of heauen: for why should he be wroth against the realme of the King, and his children?
24 Ke hoike aku nei no hoi makou ia oukou, no na kahuna a pau, a no na Levi, no ka poe mele, no na kiaipuka, no ka poe Netini, a me ka poe lawelawe ma keia hale o ke Akua, aole he pono ke auhau ia lakou i ka uku, a me ka hookupu, a me ke dute.
