Ezra 6

1 Ary tamin’ izany Dariosy mpanjaka dia nandidy, ka nizahana ny trano fitehirizan-taratasy, izay nitehirizana ny rakitra tany Babylona.

Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.

2 Dia tao Akmeta, tao an-dapa izay any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Mediana, no nahitana horonan-taratasy anankiray, ka voasoratra teo izao tantara izao:

And there was founde in a coffer (in the palace that was in the prouince of the Medes) a volume, and therein was it thus written, as a memoriall,

3 Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Kyrosy dia nandidy izy nanao hoe: Ny amin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema, dia aoka hatao mihitsy izany ho fanateran’ ny olona fanatitra, ary aoka hatao mafy ny fanorenany, ka enim-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary enim-polo hakiho koa ny sakany,

IN THE FIRST yeere of King Cyrus, King Cyrus made a decree for the house of God in Ierusalem, Let the house be buylt, euen the place where they offred sacrifices, and let the walles thereof be ioyned together: let the height thereof be three score cubites, and the breadth thereof three score cubites,

4 dia vato vaventy telo an-dalana sy hazo vaovao iray an-dalana; ary aoka haloa avy amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka izay lany;

Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.

5 ary ny fanaky ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, na ny volamena na ny volafotsy, izay nalain’ i Nebokadnezara tao amin’ ny tempoly tany Jerosalema ka nentiny ho any Babylona, dia aoka haverina ho any amin’ ny tempoly any Jerosalema indray ireo, samy ho amin’ ny fitoerany avy, ka aoka hapetraka ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra avokoa.

And also let them render the vessels of the house of God (of golde and siluer, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, which was in Ierusalem, and brought vnto Babel) and let him goe vnto the Temple that is in Ierusalem to his place, and put them in the house of God.

6 Koa amin’ izany, ry Tatenay, governora any an-dafin’ ny ony, sy ry Setara-bozenay mbamin’ ny Afarsakita namanareo, izay any an-dafin’ ny ony, mihataha ianareo.

Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.

7 Aza misakana ny fanaovana io tranon’ Andriamanitra io; aoka ny mpanapaka ny Jiosy sy ny loholon’ ny Jiosy hanao io tranon’ Andriamanitra io eo amin’ ilay efa niorenany ihany.

Suffer ye the worke of this house of God, that the captaine of the Iewes and the Elders of the Iewes may buylde this house of God in his place.

8 Ary izaho manao didy ny amin’ ny hataonareo amin’ ny loholon’ ireo Jiosy ireo hanaovany izany tranon’ Andriamanitra izany: aoka ny haren’ ny mpanjaka, dia ny hetra avy amin’ ny any an-dafin’ ny ony, no handoavana marina izay lany ho an’ ireo lehilahy ireo, mba tsy ho azon-tsampona izy.

For I haue giuen a commandement what ye shall doe to the Elders of these Iewes, for the buylding of this house of God, that of the reuenues of the King, which is of the tribute beyonde the Riuer, there be incontinently expenses giuen vnto these men that they cease not.

9 Ary izay zavatra ilainy, na zanak’ omby, na ondrilahy, na zanak’ ondry, ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra, na vary tritika na sira, na divay sy diloilo, araka izay andidian’ ny mpisorona any Jerosalema, dia aoka homena azy isan’ andro isan’ andro tsy tapaka izany,

And that which they shall haue neede of, let it be giuen vnto them day by day, whether it be yong bullockes, or rammes, or lambes for the burnt offrings of the God of heauen, wheate, salt, wine, and oyle, according to the appoyntment of the Priestes that are in Ierusalem, that there bee no fault,

10 mba hanaterany fanatitra ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra sy hivavahany mba ho ela velona ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny zanany.

That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.

11 Ary izaho manao didy fa na iza na iza no mandika izao teny izao, dia aoka hangalana hazo avy amin’ ny tranony, ary haorina, dia hahantona eo ny tenany; ary aoka hatao firinga ny tranony noho izany.

And I haue made a decree, that whosoeuer shall alter this sentence, the wood shall be pulled downe from his house, and shall be set vp, and he shalbe hanged thereon, and his house shalbe made a dunghill for this.

12 Ary Andriamanitra, Izay efa nampitoetra ny anarany teo, anie handringana ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra, izay maninjitra ny tanany handika ny didiko ka handrava izany tranon’ Andriamanitra any Jerosalema izany. Izaho Dariosy no nanao ny didy; aoka hotovina marina tokoa izany.

And the God that hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy all Kings and people that put to their hand to alter, and to destroy this house of God, which is in Ierusalem. I Darius haue made a decree, let it be done with speede.

13 Ary tamin’ izany Tatenay, governora amin’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ, sy Setarabozenay mbamin’ ny namany dia nankato marina izany teny efa nampitondrain’ i Dariosy ho any aminy izany.

Then Tatnai the captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai and their companions, according to that which Darius had sent, so they did speedily.

14 Dia nanao ny trano ny loholon’ ny Jiosy ka nambinina noho ny faminanian’ i Hagay mpaminany sy Zakaria, zanak’ Ido. Ary nanao ny trano izy ka nahavita azy, araka ny didin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely sy araka ny didin’ i Kyrosy sy Dariosy ary Artaksersesy, mpanjakan’ i Persia.

So the Elders of the Iewes builded, and they prospered by the prophecying of Haggai the Prophet, and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo, and they buylded and finished it, by the appoyntment of the God of Israel, and by the commandement of Cyrus and Darius, and Artahshashte king of Persia.

15 Dia vita io trano io tamin’ ny andro fahatelo tamin’ ny volana Adara tamin’ ny taona fahenina nanjakan’ i Dariosy mpanjaka.

And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.

16 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na ny mpisorona, na ny Levita, na ny olona sisa izay nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana, dia nitokana io tranon’ Andriamanitra io tamin’ ny fifaliana;

And the children of Israel, the Priestes, and the Leuites, and the residue of the children of the captiuitie kept the dedication of this house of God with ioy,

17 ary ny nateriny hitokanana io tranon’ Andriamanitra io dia omby zato sy ondrilahy roan-jato sy zanak’ ondry efa-jato; ary ny ho fanatitra noho ny ota kosa ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra dia osilahy roa ambin ny folo, araka ny isan’ ny firenen’ Isiraely.

And offred at the dedication of this house of God an hundreth bullockes, two hundreth rams, foure hundreth lambes, and twelue goates, for the sinne of all Israel, according to the nomber of the tribes of Israel.

18 Dia nanendry ny mpisorona ho amin’ ny firazanany avy sy ny Levita ho amin’ ny antokony avy izy, hanao ny fanompoana an’ Andriamanitra izay any Jerosalema, araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Mosesy.

And they set the Priests in their order, and the Leuites in their courses ouer the seruice of God in Ierusalem, as it is written in the booke of Moses.

19 Ary ny olona izay efa nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana dia nitandrina ny Paska tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany;

And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.

20 fa ny mpisorona sy ny Levita samy efa nanadio ny tenany rahateo, dia nadio izy rehetra ka namono ny Paska ho an’ izay rehetra efa nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana sy ho an’ ny mpisorona rahalahiny ary ho an’ ny tenany,

(For the Priests and the Leuites were purified altogether) and they killed the Passeouer for all the children of the captiuitie, and for their brethren the Priests, and for themselues.

21 Dia nihinana izany ny Zanak’ Isiraely izay efa nody avy tamin’ ny fahababoana mbamin’ izay rehetra niavaka ho namany ka niala tamin’ ny fahalotoan’ ny firenena tompon-tany hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely,

So the children of Israel which were come againe out of captiuitie, and all such as had separated themselues vnto them, from the filthines of the Heathen of the land, to seeke the Lord God of Israel, did eate,

22 ka dia nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira hafitoana tamin’ ny fifaliana izy; fa Jehovah efa nampifaly azy ary efa nampiova ny fon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria hamindra fo aminy ka hampahery ny tànany tamin’ ny nanaovany ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

And they kept ye feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes with ioy: for the Lord had made them glad, and turned the heart of the King of Asshur vnto them, to incourage them in the worke of the house of God, euen the God of Israel.
