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,
During the first year that Cyrus ruled [the] Persian [Empire], he did something that fulfilled what Jeremiah had prophesied. Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this message, and then Cyrus sent this message throughout his empire:
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.
“I, King Cyrus, who rule [the] Persian [Empire], declare this: 'Yahweh, the God [who is in/rules] from heaven, has caused me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms [that I know about] on the earth. And he has appointed me [to enable his people] to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, in Judah [land].
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.
All you people who belong to God may go up to Jerusalem to rebuild this temple for Yahweh, the God who lives in Jerusalem, the God [who is worshiped by you] Israeli people. I desire/hope that your God will be with you [and help those who go there].
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.
Those people who are in places where Israelis are living, whose ancestors were exiled here, should contribute silver and gold to those who go. They should also give them supplies [that they will need for the journey to Jerusalem]. They should also give them some livestock, and gifts of money to help build the temple of God 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 God motivated some of the priests and (Levites/men who did work in the temple) and some of the leaders of the tribes that were descended from Judah and Benjamin to return to Jerusalem. Those whom God motivated got ready to return to Jerusalem and build the temple for Yahweh there.
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.
All of their neighbors helped them by giving them things made of silver and things made of gold, and supplies for the journey, and livestock. They also gave them other valuable gifts, and also gave them money [to buy things for building the temple].
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;
King Cyrus brought out the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had taken from the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem and put in the temple of Nebuchadnezzar’s gods [in Babylon].
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 commanded Mithredath, the treasurer of [the] Persian [Empire], to count all these items and then give them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of [the group that was going to return to] Judah.
9 A eia ka huina o ia mau mea; he kanakolu ipu gula, a hookahi tausani ipu kala, he iwakaluakumamaiwa pahi,
This is a list of the items that Cyrus donated: 30 large gold dishes 1,000 large silver dishes 29 silver (censers/incense burning pans)
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.
30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
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.
All together, there were 5,400 items made of silver or gold, that [were given to] Sheshbazzar [to] take with him when he and the others returned to Jerusalem.
