< Ezra 6 >

1 Ouinge Tokosra Fulat Darius el sapkin in sukok in ma simla ke sramsram matu su karinginyuk in acn Babylon.
Then Darius the king made a decree, and caused a search to be made in the record-offices, where the treasure is stored in Babylon.
2 Tusruk, koneyukyak sie limlim in ma simusla in siti Ecbatana in acn Media, ma fahk ouinge:
And there was found in the city, in the palace, a volume, and this was the record written in it.
3 “In yac se meet ke Tokosra Cyrus el mutawauk in Tokosra Fulat, el sapkin tuh Tempul Jerusalem in sifil musaiyuk tuh in sie acn mwet uh ku in sang mwe sang lalos ac kisakin mwe kisa lalos we. Tempul sac in fit eungoul fulata ac fit eungoul sralupa.
In the first year of king Cyrus, Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the holy house of God that was in Jerusalem, [saying, ]Let the house be built, and the place where they sacrifice the sacrifices. (Also he appointed its elevation, in height sixty cubits; its breadth [was] of sixty cubits.)
4 Musaiyen sinka uh in ouinge: fwilin sak se in oan fin fwilin eot tolu nukewa. Molin ma nukewa ac fah akfalyeyuk ke nien mani lun tokosra.
And [let there be] three strong layers of stone, and one layer of timber; and the expense shall be paid out of the house of the king.
5 Oayapa ahlu gold ac silver nukewa ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh use nu Babylon liki Tempul Jerusalem ac folokinyukla nu yen fal in oan we in Tempul Jerusalem.”
And the silver and the gold vessels of the house of God, which Nabuchodonosor carried off from the house that was in Jerusalem, and carried to Babylon, let them even be given, and be carried to the temple that is in Jerusalem, and put in the place where they were set in the house of God.
6 Na Tokosra Fulat Darius el supwala topuk lal ouinge: “Nu sum, Tattenai, governor lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, ac Shethar Bozenai ac mwet pwapa wiowos in acn Roto-in-Euphrates. “Kowos tuyak liki Tempul sacn
Now, you rulers beyond the river, Satharbuzanai, and their fellow-servants the Apharsachaeans, who [are] on the other side of the river, give [these things], keeping far from that place.
7 ac nimet lusrong orekma kac an. Fuhlela governor lun Judah ac mwet kol lun mwet Jew in sifil musai Tempul lun God in acn na ma oan we meet ah.
Now let alone the work of the house of God: let the rulers of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build that house of God on its place.
8 Inge, nga sapkin nu suwos tuh kowos in kasrelos sifil musaela. Molin ma ac orekmakinyuk an in sa na molla, ac in tuku ke mani lun tokosra, su ac itukla ke tax lun Roto-in-Euphrates, tuh orekma sacn in tia lusrongyukla.
Also a decree has been made by me, if haply you may do somewhat in concert with the elders of the Jews for the building of that house of God: to wit, out of the king's property, [even] the tributes beyond the river, let there be money to defray the expenses carefully granted to those men, so that they be not hindered.
9 Len nu len kowos in aklohya in sang nu sin mwet tol in Jerusalem kutena ma elos fahk mu elos enenu: oana cow mukul fusr, ku sheep, ku sheep fusr mwe orek kisa firir nu sin God lun Kusrao, ku flao, sohl, wain ku oil in olive.
And whatever need [there may be], you shall give both the young of bulls and rams, and lambs for whole burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, oil: —let it be given them according to the word of the priests that are in Jerusalem, day by day whatever they shall ask;
10 Ma inge in orek tuh elos in ku in sang mwe kisa ma fal nu sin God lun Kusrao, ac elos in pre tuh Elan akinsewowoyeyu oayapa wen nutik.
that they may offer sweet savours to the God of heaven, and that they may pray for the life of the king and his sons.
11 Nga tafwela pac sap soko inge tuh kutena mwet fin seakos ma nga sapkin, na in fifyak soko sak maspang lulap liki lohm sel, ac tetela sie muta, ac sang fakisya sasla manol. Na lohm sel fah orek oana sie yol in kutkut.
And a decree has been made by me, that every man who shall alter this word, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and let him be lifted up and slain upon it, and his house shall be confiscated.
12 Lela God su sulela tuh Jerusalem in acn se mwet uh in alu nu sel we uh, Elan sisla kutena tokosra ku mutanfahl su sikul ma sap se inge ac srike in kunausla Tempul sac. Nga, Darius, pa sapkin in ouinge. Ma sap luk fah arulana akosyuk.”
And may the God whose name dwells there, overthrow every king and people who shall stretch out his hand to alter or destroy the house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be diligently [attended to].
13 Na Governor Tattenai, Shethar Bozenai, ac mwet fulat wialos elos oru ma nukewa oana tokosra fulat el sapkin.
Then Thanthanai the governor on this side beyond the river, Satharbuzanai, and his fellow-servants, according to that which king Darius sent, so they did diligently.
14 Mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos oru tuh orekma in musa ke Tempul in fahla arulana wo, ac mwet palu Haggai ac Zechariah eltal akkeyalos. Elos aksafyela Tempul fal nu ke ma God lun Israel El sapkin, ac oayapa ma sap sin tokosra fulat tolu lun Persia: Cyrus, Darius, ac Artaxerxes.
And the elders of the Jews and the Levites built, at the prophecy of Aggaeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo: and they built up, and finished [it], by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Arthasastha, kings of the Persians.
15 Elos aksafyela Tempul ke len se aktolu in malem Adar, ke yac se akonkosr wacl Tokosra Fulat Darius.
And they finished this house by the third day of the month Adar, which is the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 Na mwet tol, mwet Levi, ac mwet Israel nukewa su folok liki sruoh, elos kisaela Tempul ke engan na lulap.
And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of the house of God with gladness.
17 Elos kisakin cow mukul siofok, sheep luofoko, ac sheep fusr angfoko, na elos sang nani singoul luo tuh in mwe kisa ke ma koluk, kais soko nu ke sruf lun Israel.
And they offered for the dedication of the house of God a hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, twelve kids of the goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 Elos oayapa oakiya orekma kunen mwet tol ac mwet Levi nu ke Tempul in Jerusalem, fal nu ke ma simusla in book lal Moses.
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their separate orders, for the services of God in Jerusalem, according to the writing of the book of Moses.
19 Ke len se aksingoul akosr in malem se meet in yac tok ah, mwet su foloko liki sruoh elos akfulatye Kufwen Alukela.
And the children of the captivity kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 Mwet tol ac mwet Levi nukewa elos aknasnasyalos sifacna tuh elos in nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu lalos. Mwet Levi elos uniya kosro tuh in mwe kisa ke Kufwen Alukela ke mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh, ac ke mwet tol, ac kaclos sifacna.
For the priests and Levites were purified, all were clean to a man, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
21 Mwet Israel nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos mongo ke ma kisakinyukla. Oayapa mwet nukewa su sisla moul pegan lun mwet saya su muta in facl sac ac forla in wi pac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel, elos wi pac mongo kac.
And the children of Israel ate the passover, [even] they that were of the captivity, and every one who separated himself to them from the uncleanness of the nations of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel.
22 Ke len itkosr, elos engan ac akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol. Arulana yohk engan lalos ke sripen LEUM GOD El oru tuh Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria elan kulang nu selos, ac kasrelos ke orekma lalos in sifil musai Tempul lun God lun Israel.
and they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with gladness, because the Lord made them glad, and he turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the house of the God of Israel.
