< 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.
When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to 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.
Then Yeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Torah 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.
In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning 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 kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
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.
and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering to the LORD.
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.
From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD’s temple was not yet laid.
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.
They also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from 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.
Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Yeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD’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.
Then Yeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
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.
When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with shofars, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
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 to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever towards Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the LORD’s house 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 and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
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.
so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
