Ezras 5
1 Un pravieši Hagaja un Zaharija, Idus dēls, sludināja tiem Jūdiem, kas Jūdā un Jeruzālemē dzīvoja, - Israēla Dieva vārdā tie uz viņiem runāja.
Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.
2 Tad Zerubabels, Šealtiēļa dēls, un Ješuūs, Jocadaka dēls, cēlās un sāka uzcelt Dieva namu Jeruzālemē, un līdz ar tiem tie Dieva pravieši, kas tos iedrošināja.
Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
3 Tanī laikā pie tiem atnāca Tatnajs, zemes valdītājs viņpus upes, un ŠetarBoznajs ar saviem biedriem, un uz tiem tā sacīja: kas jums atvēlējis, šo namu uztaisīt un šo mūri uzcelt?
At the same time, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their men, came to them and said, Who gave you orders to go on building this house and this wall?
4 Tad mēs viņiem sacījām to vīru vārdus, kas šo darbu taisīja.
Then they said these words to them: What are the names of the men who are at work on this building?
5 Bet viņu Dieva acs bija pār Jūdu vecajiem, ka tie viņus neaizkavēja, kamēr šī lieta Dārijam nāca zināma un tie grāmatu par to dabūja atpakaļ.
But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.
6 Šis ir tās grāmatas raksts, ko Tatnajs, zemes valdītājs viņpus upes, ar ŠetarBoznaju un viņa biedriem, Avarzaķiešiem, kas viņpus upes dzīvoja, rakstīja ķēniņam Dārijam.
This is a copy of the letter which Tattenai, the ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and his friends the Apharsachites, living across the river, sent to Darius the king:
7 Tie sūtīja viņam grāmatu un tanī tā bija rakstīts: viss miers lai ir ķēniņam Dārijam.
They sent him a letter saying, To Darius the king, all peace:
8 Ķēniņam lai ir zināms, ka mēs esam nogājuši Jūda zemē tā lielā Dieva namā, kas top uzcelts no cirstiem akmeņiem, un baļķi top ielikti sienās, un darbs top tikuši(rūpīgi) darīts un izdodas labi caur viņu rokām.
This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.
9 Mēs tad esam vaicājuši tos vecajus un uz viņiem sacījuši: kas jums atvēlējis, šo namu uzcelt un šo mūri uztaisīt?
Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?
10 Mēs arī viņu vārdus esam izprasījuši no tiem, tev dot ziņu un rakstīt to vīru vārdus, kas viņu virsnieki.
And we made request for their names, so that we might send you word, and give you the names of the men at the head of them.
11 Bet tie mums atdeva tādu atbildi un sacīja: mēs esam debesu un zemes Dieva kalpi un uzceļam to namu, kas jau sen priekšgados bijis uzcelts, jo liels Israēla ķēniņš to uzcēlis un pabeidzis.
And they made answer to us, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house which was put up in times long past and was designed and made complete by a great king of Israel.
12 Tādēļ vien ka mūsu tēvi bija apkaitinājuši to debesu Dievu, viņš tos nodevis Kaldeja NebukadNecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, rokā, un tas šo namu nopostījis un tos ļaudis aizvedis cietumā uz Bābeli.
But when the God of heaven was moved to wrath by our fathers, he gave them up into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the Chaldaean, who sent destruction on this house and took the people away into Babylon.
13 Bet Bābeles ķēniņa Kirus pirmā gadā ķēniņš Kirus pavēlējis, šo Dieva namu uzcelt.
But in the first year of Cyrus, king of Babylon, Cyrus the king gave an order for the building of this house of God;
14 Un arī Dieva nama zelta un sudraba traukus, ko NebukadNecars izvedis no Dieva nama Jeruzālemē un tos novedis sava dieva namā uz Bābeli, tos ķēniņš Kirus ir ņēmis no Bābeles dieva nama, un tie ir atdoti vienam ar vārdu Šešbacars, ko viņš bija iecēlis par zemes valdītāju.
And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple which was in Jerusalem, and put into the house of his god in Babylon, these Cyrus the king took from the house of his god in Babylon, and gave to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made ruler;
15 Un viņš uz to sacīja: ņem šos traukus, ej un noved tos uz to Dieva namu, kas Jeruzālemē, un lai tas Dieva nams top uzcelts savā vietā.
And he said to him, Go, take these vessels, and put them in the Temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be put up again in its place.
16 Tad šis Šešbacars nāca un lika pamatu Dieva namam Jeruzālemē, un tā no tā laika līdz šim ir strādāts, bet ne pabeigts.
Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.
17 Ja nu ķēniņam patīk, tad lai meklē ķēniņa mantu namā, kas Bābelē, vai tā ir, ka no ķēniņa Kirus pavēlēts, uzcelt Dieva namu Jeruzālemē, un lai ķēniņa pavēle par to mums top sūtīta.
So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.
