This Ezra arrived from Babylon, and was a scribe who was an expert in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given to Israel. The king had granted Ezra everything he'd asked for, because the Lord his God was with him.
7 Hanki kini ne' Artaserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 7nima hia kafufina, Ezra'ene mago'a Israeli vahe'ene, pristi vahe'ene Livae naga'ene, zagame'ma nehaza vahe'ene, ra mono no kafante'ma kvahu vahe'ene, ra mono nompi eri'za vahe'mo'zanena Ezra'ene Babilonia atre'za Jerusalemi mareri'naze.
In the seventh year of King Artaxerxes left for Jerusalem, accompanied by some of the people of Israel, and some of the priests and Levites, singers and gatekeepers, and Temple servants.
8 Hanki Artaserksisi'ma kinima mani'no egeno 7nima hia kafumofona 5fuma hia ikantera Ezra'a Jerusalemia ehanati'ne.
Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of King Artaxerxes' reign.

He had started the journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, his gracious God going with him.
10 Ezra'a maka knafina agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofona kasegea rempi huno nentahino, ana kasegea agu'areti huno amage ante'ne. Ana nehuno Israeli vahera ana kasegene tra kenena rempi huzami'ne.
For Ezra had committed himself to gaining insights from the Law of the Lord, wanting to practice it and to teach in Israel its rules and how to live.
11 Hagi Israeli vahe Ra Anumzamofo kasegene tra kenena, Ezra'a pristi ne' mani'neno, Israeli vahera rempi hunezamia ne' mani'neankino, kini ne' Artaseksisima huvempama huno mago avoma kreno Ezrama ami'nea avomo'a amanage hu'ne.
This is a copy of the letter King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest and scribe, who had studied the Lord's commandments and regulations given to Israel:
12 Nagra hakare'a kuma'ma kvama hu'noa kini ne' Artaserksisi'na ama avona kre'na, pristi ne' Ezraga Anumzamofo kasegema antahini hu'nenka, monafima mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo kasegema rempima hu'nezamina ne'moka kre negami'na, musenke atregantoe.
“Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
13 Nagra menina huvempa naneke huankino, nagrama kvama hu'noa Israeli vahepi, pristi vahepi, Livae naga'ma mani'nezama kagranema Jerusalemi vunaku'ma hanamo'za, amne vugahaze huzmantoe.
I hereby issue this decree: Any of the people of Israel or their priests or Levites in my kingdom who voluntarily decide to go to Jerusalem with you may do so.
14 Hanki nagra kini ne'mo'nane antahintahima nenamiza 7ni'a vahe'mo'zane, kagrira hu izo hugantonankinka amne vunka Jerusalemi kumate'ene Juda mopare'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena Ra Anumzanka'amofo kasege avontafe'ma kzampima eri'nana kasegea, amagera nentazafi ome kegahane.
You are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to investigate the situation in Judah and Jerusalem as it relates to the Law of your God, which you carry with you.
15 Hanki nagra kini ne'mo'nane antahintahima nenamiza vahe'mo'zanena tavesite musezana silvane golinena Israeli vahe'motma Ra Anumzamofona amunanki, erinka vunka Jerusalemima Agrama nemania mono nompi ome anto.
We also instruct you to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have voluntarily donated to the God of Israel, whose lives in Jerusalem,
16 Hanki Babiloni kumatmimpinti'ma zogi'nana silvane golinena ana zanke hunka erinka vuo. Ana nehunka Babiloni mopafima mani'naza Israeli vahe'ene, pristi vahe'mo'zama, Ra Anumzazmimofo mono noma Jerusalemima me'nefima, ofama huogu'ma zamavesite kami'naza ofanena eri'nenka vuo.
together with all the silver and gold you may receive from the province of Babylon, as well as the voluntary donations of the people and priests to the Temple of their God in Jerusalem.
17 Hagi ana zagoa kvahu so'e hu'nenka, Jerusalema kagri Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima me'nea kresramna vu itare'ma kresramnama vanana zantamina, ve bulimakaonki, sipisipi afuki, ve anenta sipisipi afuki hunka miza nesenka, ofama hu'zanena witigi waini tinki hunka ana zagoretira mizaso.
You are to use this money first to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as necessary, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and present them on the altar at the Temple of your God in Jerusalem.
18 Hanki ana zantamima miza setenankeno'ma mago'ama mesia silvane golinena Ra Anumzamofo avesi avaririta knare'ma hania zana, kagrane kafuhe'zanena tamagri Ra Anumzamofona hunteho.
Then you and those with you may decide to use the rest of the silver and gold in whatever way you think best, in accordance with the will of your God.
19 Hanki Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama erisia zantamima kami'naza zana, erinka Anumzamofo mono nompi Jerusalemi omento.
But the items you have been given for the service of the Temple of your God must be all delivered to the God of Jerusalem.
20 Hanki anama nehunkama, Anumzankamofo mono nompima ante'zanku'ma mago'a hanunka, kinimo'na zagoma nentaza nompinti, zagoa erinka atupa'ma hanana zana miza hugahane.
If there is anything else required for the Temple of your God that you have to provide, you may charge it to the royal treasury.
21 Hanki nagra kini ne' Artaserksisi'na menina huvempa hu'na huanki Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmimpima mani'netma zagoma kegavama nehaza vahera amanage hu'na neramasamue, pristi ne' Ezra'a monafinka mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo kasege'a rempi hunezamia ne' mani'neanki, Anumzamofo mono noma kinaku'ma mago'a zanku'ma tamantahigesigeta, ame hutma ana zana amiho.
I, King Artaxerxes, decree that all the treasurers west of the Euphrates should provide whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require from you, and it must be provided in full,
22 Hianagi ana zantamima amisnazana ama avamena agateretma omiho. Silva 3400'a kiloa agateretma omiho. Hagi witia 13 tausen 500'a kiloa (500 kura) agateretma omiho, ana nehutma waini tina 2000ni'a lita agateretma omiho, olivi masavena 2000ni'a lita agateretma omiho. Hagi hagegura nama'agu avesigahie anama'a amigahaze.
up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred cors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of olive oil, and unrestricted amounts of salt.
23 Hanki monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamo'ma mono noma'ama ki'zanku'ma huramante'nia zana kegava hunetma avariri fatgo hiho. E'ina'ma osnageno'a Anumzamo'a nagri kini ne'monane, ne' mofavre naga'niama henkama kinima fore'ma hanaza naga'enena arimpa aherantegahie.
Make sure you provide in full whatever the God of heaven requires for his Temple, for why should his anger be brought down on the king and his sons?
24 Hagi mago'enema tamasamisuana antahiho, Pristi vaheteti'ene Livae nagateti'ene zagame'ma hu' vaheteti'ene, mono nonkafante'ma kvama nehaza vaheteti'ene, mono nompima eri'zama eneriza vaheteti'ene, mago'a Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama eneriza vaheteti'enena ruzahu ruzahu takisi zagoa e'oriho.
Also be aware that all of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Temple servants, or other workers of this Temple are exempt from paying any tax, tribute, or fees, and you are not authorized to charge them.
25 Hanki Ezraga antahio, Anumzankamo'a tusi'a knare antahi'zana kami'nea antahizanteti, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmimpima keagama refko hu kva vahera zamazeri otinke'za mani'ne'za, ana vahera kva huzmanteho. Hagi mago'a vahe'ma Anumzamofo kasegema antahi so'ema osu'nesaza vahe'ma mani'nesazana kagra rempi huzamio.
You, Ezra, are to follow the wisdom of your God which you possess, shall appoint magistrates and judges to provide justice to all the people west of the Euphrates—all those who follow the laws of your God. You are to teach these laws to those who do not.
26 Hanki mago vahe'mo'ma kagri Anumzamofo kasegema amage ontege, kini ne' Artaserksisi'na nagri kasegenema amage'ma ontesia vahera tamagerfa hu'za ahe frisageno frige, ahenatisageno ru moparega vuge, fenozama'a erige, kina huntege hugahaze.
Anyone who does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, will be severely punished, either by death, banishment, seizure of property, or imprisonment.”
27 Hanki nagra Ezra'na Ra Anumzana tagehe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamofona muse hunte'na agi'a ahentesga nehue. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kini ne'mofona antahintahi'a azeri otigeno Jerusalemia Ra Anumzamofo mono nona eri avasase nehie.
Praise the Lord, the God of our forefathers, who put into the king's mind to honor the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem in this way,
28 Hanki Ra Anumzamo'a asunku hunanteno, kini ne'ene agri'ma antahintahima nemiza vahe'ene, hankave eri'za vahe'amokizmia antahintahi zamige'za nagrira nazeri so'e nehaze.

and who has shown me such kindness by honoring me before the king, his counselors, and all his high officials. Because the Lord my God was with me, I was encouraged and called together the leaders of Israel to return to Jerusalem with me.
