Ezra 4

1 Hanki Judane Benzameni naga'mokizmi ha' vahe'mo'zama antahizama, kinafinti'ma atre'za e'naza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo mono noma ete eme negize nanekema nentahi'za,

Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity built the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;

2 zamagra Zerubabelinte'ene Israeli naga nofite'ma ugagotama hu'naza vahete vu'za amanage hu'naze, Asiria kini ne' Esarhadoni'ma tavreno ama mopafima eme tantegetama mani'nonteti'ma eno meninte'ma eana, tamagrama nehazaza huta tamagri Anumzantera monora hunenteta, Kresramana vunentonanki, tatrenketa tamaza huta mono nona kimaneno.

Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as all of you do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up here.

3 Hianagi Zerubabeli'ene Jeshua'ene Israeli naga nofite'ma ugota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'zanena amanage hu'za zamasami'naze, tagri Ra Anumzamofo mono nona taza huta onkigahaze. Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma hurante'nea kante amage anteta, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamofo mono nona tagrake'za kigahune.

But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, All of you have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.

4 Hagi anagema hazage'za ana mopafima ko'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za, Juda vahera zamarimpa eri haviza hu naneke nehu'za, mono no onkisazegu zamazeri koro hu naneke agafa hu'za hu'naze.

Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,

5 Ana nehu'za Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma kinima manino egeno, Dariusi'ma agri noma erino kinima efore'ma hia knare'ma ege'za, Juda vahera antahintahi zami'za erizazmia eri savri hanazegu, Pesia kamani eri'za vahera masave hu kazigati zago zamiza zamavare'naze.

And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.

6 Hagi Ahasuerusi'ma agafa huno kinima mania knafina, ha' vahe'zamimo'za Judama nemaniza vahe'ene Jerusalema nemaniza vahekura mago havige avonkre'za kini ne' Ahasuerusina ami'naze.

And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

7 Hanki henka Pesia kini ne' Artserksisi'ma kinima mania knafina, Bislamu'ma Mitredati'ma Tabeli'ene, zamagranema magokama eri'zama eneriza naga'enenki hu'za, kini ne' Artserksisina mago avonkremi'naze. Ana avoma kre'nazana Aramu zamagerupi kre'nage'za, hamprima amiza vahe'mo'za, Pesia vahe'mokizmi zamagerupi rekrahe humi'naze.

And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.

8 Hagi ana mopama ugagota huno kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Rehumu'ene avoma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsaikea Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'ma keagama huzmante avona amanage huke kre atrakeno Pesia kini ne' Artserksisintega vu'ne.

Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:

9 Nagra gavana kva ne' Rehumu'nane, avoma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsai'ene, kema refkohu vahe'ene mago'a kagri eri'za vahe'ma tagranema eri'zama eneriza vahe'ene, Ereki vahe'ma Babiloni mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene, Elamu vahe'ma Susa ran kumate'ma nemaniza vahe'ene,

Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,

10 ko'ma hanavenentake kini ne' Asurbanipali'ma mago'a vahe'ma zamavareno Sameria ran kumapima eme zamantege'zama nemaniza vahe'ene, Yufretisi timofo kantu kazigama nemaniza vahe'mo'zane, ama avona kre atronkeno kagritega nevie.

And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time.

11 Hanki anama kremi'naza avona amanage hu'za kremi'naze, Kini ne' Artserksisiga kagri eri'zama eneruna vahe'ma Yufretisi timofo kantu kazigama nemanuna vahe'mota musenkea atrenegantone.

This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Your servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.

12 Kinimoka amana nanekea antahio, Juda vahe'ma kagri kumatmimpima mani'nareti'ma atre'za aza vahe'mo'za ko'ma Jerusalemi kumapima mani'ne'za kema nontahi'za, havi zmavu'avazama hu'naza vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi ran kumapina nona eme ki'naze. Noma azeri oti'za tra'ama kivagama nere'za, ku'ma kegina hago huvagare'za nehaze.

Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from you to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.

13 E'ina hu'negu kinimoka amagea antahio, ama ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi ran kuma'ma keginama huvagaresu'za takisi zagoa onkamigahaze. Ana hanageno'a zagoma nentana nompina zagoa omnena zagogura atupa hugahane.

Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be built, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so you shall spoil the revenue of the kings.

14 Kagrama maka zampima tazama nehana zanku tagesa nentahita, vahe'mo'zama kagri'ma kagefenkamima atre'zankura tavenosigeta ana kazigati kinimoka amana nanekea negasamune.

Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;

15 Kafahe'za ko'ma tro hu'naza zama krente'naza avontafepima kesanana, Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'mo'za kea ontahi vahe mani'neza, kini vahera ha renezmantazage'za, e'i ana zamavuzmava zanku kumazmia eme eri havizantfa hageno vahera omanitfa hu'naza kuma me'ne.

That search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: so shall you find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.

16 E'ina hu'negu kinimoka ama'na nanekea negasamune, zamagrama Jerusalemi ran kuma'ma eriso'ema nehu'za, kuma keginama huvagama resnagenka, Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmina mago'ene kegava osugahane.

We certify the king that, if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means you shall have no portion on this side the river.

17 Hanki kinimo'ma ana avoma keteno'a, amanage huno nona'a avona kre atre'ne. Kavana ne' Rehumugane avontafe'ma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsaigane Sameriama mani'ne'za eri'zama zamazama nehaza vahe'ene, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama nemaniza vahera musenke atreramantoe.

Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.

18 Hanki tamagrama kre atre'naza avona nagri navure hamprite'za rekrahe hazage'na antahi'noe.

The letter which all of you sent unto us has been plainly read before me.

19 Anama hute'na eri'za vahe huge'za, korapa'ma fore'ma hu'nea zama krente'naza avontafepima hake'zama ke'nazana, ko'ma maniza enazaregatira kini vahe'mofo kema ontahino zamagorgama omani zamavu'zmava zamo'a meno e'nea vahe mani'naze. Hankino meninena tamagerfa huno havi vaheke ana kumapina avite'naze.

And I commanded, and search has been made, and it is found that this city of old time has made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.

20 Hanki korapara hankave kini vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumara kegava nehu'za, Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmina maka kva huzmante'nage'za, ruzante ruzante takisi zagoa zami'naze.

There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.

21 E'ina hu'negu ana vahera hanavetita zamasaminke'za Jerusalemi rankuma'ma eri oti'zama negi'za zana atre'za amne mani'nesage'na, nagrake hu izo huge, i'o hu'na anazantera hugahue.

Give all of you now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until another commandment shall be given from me.

22 Hanki tamarga ame huta vutma ome ke hinke'za ana eri'zana e'ori atreho. Na'ankure tamagrama anama osnage'zama, zamagrama ome knare'ma hanageta tagra kegava huzmantegara osugahune.

Take heed now that all of you fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?

23 Hanki kini ne' Artserksisi'ma krema atre'nea avona eri'za vu'za, gavana ne' Rehumune, avontafe kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsainte'ene, magoka eri'zama eneriza vahete'ene ana avona ome hamprizami'naze. Anama hazage'za ha'zana eri'ne'za ame hu'za Jerusalemi vu'za Juda vahemota nona onkita atreho hu'za hanaveti'za ome huzmante'naze.

Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.

24 Anante Juda vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma Jerusalema negiza eri'zana e'ori'za atrageno me'no eno, Pesia kini ne' Dariusi'ma kinima manino egeno nampa 2ma hia kafure ehanati'ne.

Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
