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.

Then Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo the prophet prophesied in the name of the God of Israel to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem.

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.

Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God in Jerusalem with the prophets who supported 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?

Then Tattenai the governor of the Province Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and his associates came and said to them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and complete these walls?”

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 said, “What are the names of the men building 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 God's eye was on the Jewish elders and their enemies did not stop them. They were waiting for a letter to be sent to the king and for a decree to be returned to them concerning this.

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 a copy of the letter of Tattenai, governor of the Province Beyond the River, and Shethar-Bozenai and his accociates in the Province Beyond the River, which they sent to Darius the king.

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

They sent a report, writing this to King Darius, “May all peace be yours.

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 the king know that we went to Judah to the house of the great God. It is being built with large stones and timbers set in the walls. This work is being done thoroughly and is going forward well in their hands.

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

We asked the elders, 'Who gave you a decree to build this house and these walls?'

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

We also asked them their names so you might know the name of each man who led them.

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,

They replied and said, 'We are servants of the one who is the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding this house that had been built many years ago when the great king of Israel built it and completed it.

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.

However, when our ancestors enraged the God of heaven, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and took the people into exile in 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.

Nevertheless, in the first year when Cyrus was king of Babylon, Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild the 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,

King Cyrus also returned the gold and silver objects belonging to the house of God that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from the temple in Jerusalem to the temple in Babylon. He restored them to Sheshbazzar, whom he had made 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.

He said to him, “Take these objects. Go and put them in the temple in Jerusalem. Let the house of God be rebuilt there.”

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.

Then this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation for the house of God in Jerusalem; and it is being constructed, but is not yet complete.'

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 if it pleases the king, may it be investigated in the house of archives in Babylon if a judgment from King Cyrus exists there to build this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send his decision to us.
