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 the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel [did they prophesy] to them.
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 rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, who helped 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 that time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus to them: Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?
4 Tad mēs viņiem sacījām to vīru vārdus, kas šo darbu taisīja.
And they said to them after this manner: What are the names of the men that build 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 upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter came to Darius; and then they returned answer by letter concerning 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.
The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side 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 a report to him in which was written thus: 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.
Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their hand.
9 Mēs tad esam vaicājuši tos vecajus un uz viņiem sacījuši: kas jums atvēlējis, šo namu uzcelt un šo mūri uztaisīt?
Then asked we those elders: thus we said to them, Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?
10 Mēs arī viņu vārdus esam izprasījuši no tiem, tev dot ziņu un rakstīt to vīru vārdus, kas viņu virsnieki.
We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief 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 thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.
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 after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people away unto 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, king Cyrus gave orders to build 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 vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was at Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did king Cyrus take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he had appointed governor.
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, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is at Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built 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 came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and since that time even until now has it been in building, and it is not completed.
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.
And now, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that orders were given by king Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
