< Ezra 3 >

1 Ary nony tonga ny volana fahafito, rehefa tafapetraka teny amin’ ny tanànany avy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia nivory tany Jerosalema toy ny olona iray izy.
And it arrived the month seventh and [the] people of Israel [were] in the cities. And they gathered the people like a man one to Jerusalem.
2 Dia nitsangana Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, sy ny mpisorona rahalahiny ary Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy ny rahalahiny ka nanorina ny alitaran’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hanaterana fanatitra dorana eo amboniny, araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.
And he arose Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and brothers his the priests and Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and brothers his and they rebuilt [the] altar of [the] God of Israel to offer up on it burnt offerings according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses [the] man of God.
3 Dia naoriny teo amin’ ilay efa niorenany ihany ny alitara, satria natahotra ny tompon-tany izy, ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana teo amboniny ho an’ i Jehovah izy, dia ny fanatitra dorana marain-tsy hariva.
And they established the altar on foundations its for terror [was] on them from [the] peoples of the lands (and they offered up *Q(K)*) on it burnt offerings to Yahweh burnt offerings of the morning and of the evening.
4 Ary nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana ao amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo koa izy, araka ny voasoratra, sy ny amin’ ny fanatitra dorana isan’ andro araka ny isany avy, tahaka ny fanao, araka izay voatendry hatao isan’ andro avy.
And they celebrated [the] festival of booths according to [what] is written and a burnt offering of a day in a day by number according to [the] ordinance of [the] matter of a day in day its.
5 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva izy sy ilay fanao amin’ ny voaloham-bolana sy amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana nohamasinina rehetra izay voatendrin’ i Jehovah ary ny avy amin’ izay rehetra nanatitra fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ i Jehovah.
And after this a burnt offering of continuity and for the new moons and for all [the] appointed times of Yahweh consecrated and for every [one who] offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
6 Tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahafito no niantomboka nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah izy. Nefa tsy mbola natao ny fanorenan’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
From day one of the month seventh they began to offer up burnt offerings to Yahweh and [the] temple of Yahweh not it was founded.
7 Ary nomeny vola ny mpipai-bato sy ny mpandrafitra, ary ny any Tyro sy ny any Sidona dia nomeny zavatra hohanina sy hosotroina sy diloilo mba hitondrany hazo sedera avy any Libanona hatramin’ ny ranomasina any Jopa, araka ny teny efa azony tamin’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia.
And people gave money to the masons and to the craftsmen and food and drink and oil to the Sidonians and to the Tyrians to bring wood of cedar from Lebanon to [the] sea of Joppa according to [the] permission of Cyrus [the] king of Persia to them.
8 Ary tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny taona faharoa taorian’ ny nahatongavany tany amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema dia niantomboka Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mbamin’ ny rahalahiny sisa, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary izay rehetra tonga tany Jerosalema avy tany amin’ ny fahababoana, ka nanendry ny Levita izay hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy ho tonian’ ny asa amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
And in the year second of coming their to [the] house of God to Jerusalem in the month second they began Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and [the] rest of brothers their - the priests and the Levites and all those [who] had come from the captivity Jerusalem and they appointed the Levites from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards to act as overseers over [the] work of [the] house of Yahweh.
9 Dia niara-nitsangana Jesoa sy ny zanany ary ny rahalahiny, ary Kadmiela sy ny zanany, zanak’ i Joda, ho tonian’ ny mpiasa tamin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary ny zanak’ i Henadada koa mbamin’ ny zanany sy ny Levita rahalahiny.
And he stood Jeshua sons his and brothers his Kadmiel and sons his [the] sons of Judah as one to act as overseers over [the] doer of the work on [the] house of God. [the] sons of Henadad sons their and brothers their the Levites.
10 Ary rehefa naorin’ ny mpiasa ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, dia nasainy hidera an’ i Jehovah ny mpisorona, sady niakanjo ny akanjony sy nitondra trompetra, ary ny Levita, zanak’ i Asafa, kosa nitondra kipantsona, araka ny nandidian’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
And they founded the builders [the] temple of Yahweh and they appointed the priests fully clothed with trumpets and the Levites [the] sons of Asaph with cymbals to praise Yahweh on [the] hands of David [the] king of Israel.
11 Dia nanao hira nifamalivaly nidera sy nisaotra an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsara Izy, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony amin’ ny Isiraely. Dia nihoby mafy ny olona rehetra, raha nidera an’ i Jehovah, satria vita ny fanorenan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
And they sang with praising and with giving thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for for ever covenant loyalty his [is] towards Israel and all the people they shouted (a shout of joy *LB(ah)*) great with praising Yahweh because it was founded [the] house of Yahweh.
12 Nefa maro ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia ny antitra izay efa nahita ny trano voalohany, no nitomany mafy dia mafy, nony naorina teo imasony izany trano izany; nefa maro kosa no nanandratra ny feony nihoby sy nifaly;
And many of the priests and the Levites and [the] heads of the fathers old who they had seen the house first when founded it this the house with own eyes their [were] weeping with a voice great and many [people] with a shout of joy with gladness to lift up a voice.
13 ka dia tsy fantatry ny olona izay fifaliana na izay fitomaniana noho izany horakoraka be izany, fa nihoby mafy ny olona, ka re lavitra ny horakoraka.
And not the people [were] recognizing [the] sound of [the] shout of happiness to [the] sound of [the] weeping of the people for the people [were] shouting a shout of joy great and the sound it was heard to from a distance.
