Ezra 3
1 Pada bulan tujuh, orang-orang Israel telah menetap di kotanya masing-masing. Pada tanggal satu bulan itu mereka berkumpul di Yerusalem,
And it arrived the month seventh and [the] people of Israel [were] in the cities. And they gathered the people like a man one to Jerusalem.
2 lalu Yesua anak Yozadak serta rekan-rekannya para imam dan Zerubabel anak Sealtiel serta sanak saudaranya, membangun kembali mezbah Allah Israel. Dengan demikian mereka dapat membakar kurban di atasnya, sesuai dengan petunjuk-petunjuk yang tertulis dalam buku Hukum Musa, hamba Allah.
And he arose Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and brothers his the priests and Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and brothers his and they rebuilt [the] altar of [the] God of Israel to offer up on it burnt offerings according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses [the] man of God.
3 Meskipun mereka takut kepada penduduk di negeri itu, namun mereka membangun juga mezbah itu di tempatnya semula. Lalu mulailah mereka mempersembahkan lagi kurban bakaran, di waktu pagi dan petang.
And they established the altar on foundations its for terror [was] on them from [the] peoples of the lands (and they offered up *Q(K)*) on it burnt offerings to Yahweh burnt offerings of the morning and of the evening.
4 Mereka juga merayakan Hari Raya Pondok Daun, sesuai dengan peraturan; dan setiap hari mempersembahkan kurban yang telah ditetapkan untuk hari itu.
And they celebrated [the] festival of booths according to [what] is written and a burnt offering of a day in a day by number according to [the] ordinance of [the] matter of a day in day its.
5 Selain itu mereka secara teratur mempersembahkan kurban bakaran serta kurban pada Hari Raya Bulan Baru, dan pada semua hari raya lain yang diadakan untuk menyembah TUHAN. Mereka juga mempersembahkan persembahan sukarela kepada TUHAN.
And after this a burnt offering of continuity and for the new moons and for all [the] appointed times of Yahweh consecrated and for every [one who] offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
6 Meskipun Rumah TUHAN belum mulai dibangun kembali, namun pada tanggal satu bulan tujuh rakyat telah mulai membakar kurban untuk TUHAN.
From day one of the month seventh they began to offer up burnt offerings to Yahweh and [the] temple of Yahweh not it was founded.
7 Rakyat menyumbangkan uang untuk mengupah tukang batu dan tukang kayu. Mereka juga mengirim makanan, minuman serta minyak zaitun ke kota-kota Tirus dan Sidon untuk ditukar dengan kayu cemara Libanon dari kota-kota itu. Kayu itu dibawa ke Yafo melalui laut. Semua itu dikerjakan oleh rakyat dengan izin Kores, raja Persia.
And people gave money to the masons and to the craftsmen and food and drink and oil to the Sidonians and to the Tyrians to bring wood of cedar from Lebanon to [the] sea of Joppa according to [the] permission of Cyrus [the] king of Persia to them.
8 Maka pada bulan dua, dalam tahun kedua setelah orang Israel kembali ke Yerusalem, mulailah mereka membangun kembali Rumah TUHAN. Zerubabel, Yesua dan teman-teman mereka sebangsa, para imam, orang Lewi, pendek kata, semua orang bekas buangan, ikut bekerja. Orang-orang Lewi yang berumur 20 tahun ke atas ditunjuk untuk mengawasi pekerjaan pembangunan Rumah TUHAN itu.
And in the year second of coming their to [the] house of God to Jerusalem in the month second they began Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and [the] rest of brothers their - the priests and the Levites and all those [who] had come from the captivity Jerusalem and they appointed the Levites from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards to act as overseers over [the] work of [the] house of Yahweh.
9 Maka Yesua, orang Lewi itu, dengan anak-anaknya dan saudara-saudaranya dan juga Kadmiel dengan anak-anaknya (kaum Hodawya) bersama-sama mengawasi pekerjaan pembangunan Rumah TUHAN itu. Mereka dibantu oleh orang Lewi dari kaum Henadad.
And he stood Jeshua sons his and brothers his Kadmiel and sons his [the] sons of Judah as one to act as overseers over [the] doer of the work on [the] house of God. [the] sons of Henadad sons their and brothers their the Levites.
10 Ketika pekerja-pekerja bangunan mulai meletakkan pondasi Rumah TUHAN, para imam berpakaian jubah dan dengan memegang trompet mengambil tempat masing-masing. Orang-orang Lewi dari kaum Asaf juga berdiri di situ dengan memegang gong-gong kecil. Mereka memuji-muji TUHAN sesuai dengan peraturan yang telah ditetapkan sejak masa Raja Daud.
And they founded the builders [the] temple of Yahweh and they appointed the priests fully clothed with trumpets and the Levites [the] sons of Asaph with cymbals to praise Yahweh on [the] hands of David [the] king of Israel.
11 Rakyat menyanyikan puji-pujian bagi TUHAN, sambil mengulang-ulang bagiannya yang terakhir, demikian bunyinya, "TUHAN itu baik; dan kasihnya kepada Israel kekal abadi." Seluruh rakyat ikut bersorak dan memuji TUHAN, sebab pondasi Rumah TUHAN sudah diletakkan.
And they sang with praising and with giving thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for for ever covenant loyalty his [is] towards Israel and all the people they shouted (a shout of joy *LB(ah)*) great with praising Yahweh because it was founded [the] house of Yahweh.
12 Banyak di antara para imam, orang-orang Lewi dan kepala-kepala kaum yang sudah lanjut umurnya pernah melihat Rumah TUHAN yang dahulu. Ketika mereka menyaksikan peletakkan pondasi Rumah TUHAN yang ini, menangislah mereka keras-keras. Tetapi orang-orang lain yang hadir di situ bersorak-sorai kegirangan,
And many of the priests and the Levites and [the] heads of the fathers old who they had seen the house first when founded it this the house with own eyes their [were] weeping with a voice great and many [people] with a shout of joy with gladness to lift up a voice.
13 sehingga tak dapat dibedakan lagi antara sorak kegirangan dan tangis. Bunyinya begitu nyaring, sehingga terdengar sampai jauh.
And not the people [were] recognizing [the] sound of [the] shout of happiness to [the] sound of [the] weeping of the people for the people [were] shouting a shout of joy great and the sound it was heard to from a distance.
