Ezra 5

1 Hagi ana knafina kasnampa netre Hagai'ene Ido nemofo Zekaraiakea Israeli vahe Anumzamofo agifi kasnampa kea Jerusalemi vahete'ene Juda vahetera huama huke zamasami'na'e.

Later, the prophets Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

2 Hagi ana ke'ma hutake'za, Sealtieli nemofo Zerubabeli'ene Jozadaki nemofo Jeshuakea otike Jerusalemi kumate'ma Anumzamofo mono noma eme atre'naza eri'zana ete eri agafa huke enerike'za, Anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena zanaza hake'za ana eri'zana eri'naze.

Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak rose up and began to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

3 Hanki anama nehazage'za, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kuma'ma kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Tetanai'ene, eri'za ne'a Setar Bozenai'ene zanagranema eriza'ma eneriza vahe'mo'zanena Israeli vahete Jerusalemi vu'za amanage hu'naze, iza huramantegetma ama mono nona eri ante fatgo hutama negize?

At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates went to the Jews and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?”

4 Anage nehu'za mago'ene amanage hu'za zamantahige'naze, Iza'za ama mono noma ki eri'zana enerizafi zamagi'a tasamiho?

They also asked, “What are the names of the men who are constructing this building?”

5 Hianagi zamagri Anumzamo'a avunteno Juda ranra vahera kegava huzmante'ne. Ana hige'za Pesiati'ma e'nea kva ne'ene eri'za vahe'amo'za, Juda nagara eri'za zamia asevazi ozmantage'za eri'za nevu'za, Tatenai'ma avoma kremisigenoma kini ne' Dariusi'ma, ana avonte'ma kenonama hanigu avega ante'naze.

But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, so that they were not stopped until a report was sent to Darius and written instructions about this matter were returned.

6 Hanki Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumama kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Tatenai'ene eri'za ne'a Setar Bozenai'ene zanagranema eri'zama magokama eneriza, kini ne' Dariusina amanage hu'za avona kre'za atrente'naze.

This is the text of the letter that Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, the officials in the region, sent to King Darius.

7 Ana avoma kremi'naza avomo'a amanahu hu'ne. Kini ne' Dariusiga musenke atregantonanki krimpa fru'ne manigahane.

The report they sent him read as follows: To King Darius: All peace.

8 Kini ne'mokama menima kasamisunana, tagra Juda mopare vuta ome konana, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona negizageta ke'none. Ana mono nona tusinasi have taga hu'za negi'za, noma vazisgama hania zana zafareti kitagi'za asoparega nona azeri oti'naze. Mika vahe'mo'za kva hu'ne'za ana eri'zana hankaveti'za enerizageno, eri'zamo'a ame huno nevie.

Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. The people are rebuilding it with large stones, and placing timbers in the walls. This work is being carried out diligently and is prospering in their hands.

9 Anante amanage huta ranra vahera zamantahige'none. Iza hu' izoa huramantegetma ama mono nona ete erinte fatgo huta negize?

So we questioned the elders and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?”

10 Ana nehuta avompima zamagima kreta kagri'ma kasamisnunkura, vugotama hu'nage'zama eri'zama eneriza vahe zamagigu zamantahige'none.

We also asked for their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information.

11 Anagema nehunke'za amanage hu'za tasami'naze, Anumzana monane mopanema tro'ma huno'ma kegavama hu'nea Anumzamofo eri'za vahe tagra mani'nonankita, korapara Israeli vahe'mota hankavenentake kini ne'mo, ama mono nona ki'nea no, ha' vahetimo'za eme eri haviza hu'naza no, ete azeri otita negune,

And this is the answer they returned: “We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and completed.

12 na'ankure Monafima mani'nea Anumzamofona tagehe'za rimpahe avu'avaza hazageno, Kaldiati ne' Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesana atregeno eno Anumzamofo mono nona eme eri haviza nehuno, ana maka vahera zamavareno Babiloni vuno kina ome huzmante'ne.

But since our fathers angered the God of heaven, He delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean who destroyed this temple and carried away the people to Babylon.

13 Hianagi Babiloni kini ne' Sairusi'ma agafa huno kinima mania kafufina, kini ne' Sairusi'a mago huvempage huno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona ete kiho huno hu'ne.

In his first year, however, Cyrus king of Babylon issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.

14 Anage nehuno ko'ma Nebukatnesa'ma Jerusalemi kumateti'ma Anumzamofo mono nompinti golireti'ene silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamima me'neana erino Babiloni vuno, havi anumza'amofo mono nompima ome ante'nea zantamina, kini ne' Sairusi'a erino, Sesbasari'e nehaza ne' Juda mopare gavana mani'nogu kini ne' Sairusi'a agrama huhamparinte'nea ne' ana zantamina nemino,

He also removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken and carried there from the temple in Jerusalem. King Cyrus gave these articles to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor

15 amanage huno asami'ne, vunka Jerusalemi ra mono nompi amana zantamina ome nentenka, Anumzamofo mono noma ko'ma me'nere ete anante azeri otinka kio huno hunte'ne.

and instructed, ‘Take these articles, put them in the temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its original site.’

16 Ana hu'negu Sesbasari'a Jerusalemi eno ama Anumzamofo mono noma ki tra'a ki'ne. Hianagi ana knareti'ma eno ama knare'ma egeta, ana nona ki vava hu'nonanagi, ki vagaore'none huza tasami'naze.

So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it has been under construction, but it has not yet been completed.”

17 Juda vahe'mo'za e'inahu ke hazagu, Babiloni vahe'mo'zama fenozama nentaza nompima me'nenigura, kini ne'moka eri'za vaheka'a huzmante'snanke'za, ko'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamimofo agenkema krente'naza avontafera hake'za, kini ne' Sairusi'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono noma Jerusalema ete kihoma huno huzmante'nesia kegura, Juda vahe'mo'za tamage hazafi hake'za eri fore hiho. Anama hutesanagenka, ana zankura na'ane huta huzmantegahumpi, kini ne'moka tasamio.

Now, therefore, if it pleases the king, let a search be made of the royal archives in Babylon to see if King Cyrus did indeed issue a decree to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter.
