Ezra 3
1 Daytoy ti maikapito a bulan kalpasan ti panagsubli dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti siudadda, idi naguummongda a kas maysa a tao idiay Jerusalem.
It was the seventh month after the people of Israel came back to their cities, when they gathered together as one man in Jerusalem.
2 Nagsagana ni Jesua a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ken dagiti kakabsatna a papadi, ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken dagiti kakabsatna a lalaki ket binangonda ti altar ti Dios ti Israel tapno maidatagda dagiti daton a mapuoran kas naibilin iti linteg ni Moises a tao ti Dios.
Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and his brothers rose up and built the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Kalpasanna, impasdekda ti altar iti rabaw ti pakaisaadanna, nga adda panagbuteng kadakuada gapu kadagiti tattao iti dayta a lugar. Nangidatonda kenni Yahweh kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti parbangon ken iti rabii.
Then they established the altar on its stand, for dread was on them because of the people of the land. They offered burnt offerings to Yahweh at dawn and evening.
4 Rinambakanda pay ti Fiesta dagiti Abong-abong a kas iti naisurat, ken nangidatonda iti daton a mapuoran iti inaldaw-aldaw a maiyannurot iti naipaulog a bilin, ti naituding a pagrebbengan iti tunggal aldaw.
They also observed the Festival of Shelters as it is written and offered burnt offerings day by day according to the decree, each day's duty on its day.
5 Kasta met nga adda dagiti daton a mapuoran a maidaton iti inaldaw ken binulan, ken dagiti sagsagut para kadagiti amin a naituding a fiesta ni Yahweh, agraman dagiti amin a sagut a nagtaud iti bukod a nakem.
Accordingly, there were daily burnt offerings and monthly ones and offerings for all the fixed feasts of Yahweh, along with all the freewill offerings.
6 Nangrugida a nagidaton kenni Yahweh kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti umuna nga aldaw ti maikapito a bulan, uray no saanpay a naibangon ti templo.
They began to offer up burnt offerings to Yahweh on the first day of the seventh month, although the temple had not been founded.
7 Isu a nangtedda iti pirak kadagiti kantero ken kadagiti karpintero; taraon, mainom, ken lana kadagiti tattao ti Sidon ken Tiro tapno mangipatulodda kadagiti kayo ti sedro manipud Lebanon a maipan iti Joppe babaen iti baybay, kas iti impalubos kadakuada ni Cyrus nga ari ti Persia.
So they gave silver to the stoneworkers and craftsmen, and they gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, so they would bring cedar trees by sea from Lebanon to Joppa, as authorized for them by Cyrus, king of Persia.
8 Ket iti maikadua a bulan ti maikadua a tawen kalpasan ti isasangpetda iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, da Zerubbabel, Jesua nga anak ni Josadac, dagiti dadduma a papadi, dagiti Levita, ken dagiti nagsubli idiay Jerusalem manipud iti pannakaibalud ti nangirugi ti trabaho. Dinutokanda dagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato a mangimaton iti panagtrabaho iti balay ni Yahweh.
Then in the second month of the second year after they came to the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, the rest of the priests, the Levites, and those who came from captivity back to Jerusalem began the work. They assigned the Levites twenty years old and older to oversee the work of Yahweh's house.
9 Insaad ni Jesua dagiti annak ken kakabsatna a lallaki, ni Kadmiel ken dagiti annakna a lallaki, ken dagiti kaputotan ni Juda tapno mangimaton kadagiti tattao a mangar-aramid ti trabaho iti balay ti Dios. Kaduada dagiti kaputotan ni Henadad, kasta met dagiti padada a Levita.
Jeshua and his sons and brothers, and Kadmiel and his sons, who were descendants of Hodaviah), and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers-all of them were Levites-joined together in supervising those working on the house of God.
10 Insaad dagiti mangibangbangon ti pundasion para iti templo ni Yahweh. Daytoy ti gapuna a nagtakder dagiti papadi a sikakawes kadagiti pagan-anayda nga addaan kadagiti trumpeta, ken dagiti Levita, nga annak a lallaki ni Asaf, tapno idaydayawda ni Yahweh babaen kadagiti piangpiang a kas iti imbilin ti ima ni David nga ari ti Israel.
The builders laid a foundation for Yahweh's temple. This enabled the priests to stand in their garments with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, to praise Yahweh with cymbals, just as the hand of David, king of Israel had commanded.
11 Nagkantada nga addaan iti panangdayaw ken panagyaman kenni Yahweh, “Naimbag isuna! Agnanayon ti kinapudnona iti tulagna iti Israel.” Nagriaw amin dagiti tattao nga uray da la impukkaw ti panagrag-oda iti panagdaydayaw kenni Yahweh gapu ta naisaaden ti pundasion ti templo.
They sang with praise and thankfulness to Yahweh, “He is good! His covenant faithfulness to Israel endures forever.” All the people cried out with a great shout of joy in praise of Yahweh because the temple's foundations had been laid.
12 Ngem adu kadagiti papadi, kadagiti Levita, kadagiti panguloen dagiti pamilia ken kadagiti lallakay a nakakita idi iti immuna a balay, ti nagsangit iti napigsa idi nakitada a naisaaden ti pundasion daytoy a balay. Ngem adu dagiti nagpukkaw gapu iti rag-o ken ragsak ken dir-i.
But many of the priests, Levites, and chief patriarchs, those who were old and had seen the first house, when this house's foundations were laid before their eyes, wept loudly. But many people had shouts of joy with gladness and an excited sound.
13 Kas nagbanaganna, saan a mailasin dagiti tattao ti riaw ti rag-o ken ragsak manipud iti panagsasangit dagiti tattao, gapu ta agsangsangit dagiti tattao iti kasta unay a kinarag-o, ken mangngeg ti riawda manipud iti adayo.
As a result, people were not able to distinguish the joyful and glad sounds from the sound of people weeping, for the people were crying out with great joy, and the sound was heard from far away.
