< Ezra 3 >

1 Ie tsatoke ty volam-paha-fito naho fa an-drova’ iareo añe o ana’ Israeleo, le hene nifanontoñe hoe ondaty raike e Ierosa­laime ao.
And the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel [were] in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at Jerusalem.
2 Nitroatse amy zao t’Iesoà ana’ Iotsadake naho o rahalahi’e mpisoroñeo naho i Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele naho o rahalahi’eo vaho nitsene ty kitrelin’ Añahare hañengàñe soroñe ty amy sinokitse amy Hà’ i Mose ‘ndatin’ Añaharey.
Then stood up Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Natobò’ iereo amo tombo’eo i kitreliy ie nihembañ’ am’ondati’ o fifeheañeo; le nañenga soroñe ama’e amy Iehovà, soroñe maraiñe naho hariva.
And they set up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole burnt offerings was offered up upon it to the Lord morning and evening.
4 Le nambena’ iareo i sabadida-kibohotsey, ty amy pinatetsey naho nañenga soroñe boak’ andro ty amy ia’e nafetsey, ty amy fañè’ey, songa ty amy lili’ i andro’ey;
And they kept the feast of tabernacles, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole burnt offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.
5 tovo izay o soroñe nainai’eo naho o soroñe am-pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantaña’ Iehovà naho navaheñeo, vaho songa nañenga an-tsatrin’ arofo am’ Iehovà ze nazoto.
And after this the perpetual whole burnt offering, and [offering] for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free will offering to the Lord.
6 Boak’ amy andro valoha’ i volam-pahafitoiy ty namotora’ iareo nañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà; fe mboe tsy nioreñe ty mananta’ i anjomba’ Iehovày.
On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not laid.
7 Tinolo iareo drala ka o mpihali-vatoo naho o mpandranjio; naho mahakama naho rano naho menak’ amo nte-Tsioneo vaho amo nte-Tsoreo, hañendesañe hatae boake Lebanone mb’ andriake mb’e Iopà añe, amy tolotse niazo’ iareo amy Korese, mpanjaka’ i Parasey.
And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.
8 Ie amy taom-paha-roe nivotraha’ iareo añ’ anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaimey; amy volam-paharoe’ey ty niorota’ i Zerobabele ana’ i Sealtiele naho Iesoa ana’ Iotsadake naho o sehangan-droahalahi’e mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy boak’ am-pandrohizañe añe nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eoo, ie nanendre o nte-Levio mifototse ami’ty roapolo taoñe mañambone, ty hamototse ty fitoloñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in the house of the Lord.
9 Niharo niongak’ amy zao t’Iesoa naho o ana’eo naho o rahalahi’eo naho i Kadmiele naho o ana’eo vaho o ana’ Iehodào, hisary o mpitoloñe añ’ anjomban’ Añahareo; teo ka o ana’ i Kenadadeo naho o ana’iareoo vaho o rahalahi’e nte-Levio.
And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, their sons and their brethren the Levites.
10 Aa ie naore’ o mpandranjio o mananta’ i anjomba’ Iehovàio, le nampijohañeñe eo an-tsaro’e reketse trompetra o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levy ana’ i Asafeo am-pikorintsañe, hisabo am’ Iehovà ty amy fanoroa’ i Davide mpanjaka’ Israeley.
And they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the order of David king of Israel.
11 Le nitakasy iereo, nandrenge naho nañandriañe Iehovà: ami’ty hoe: Ie ro Soa, nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’e am’Israele. Le nandia-taroba am-pàzake ondaty iabio, nandrenge Iehovà ami’ty fañoreñañe o manatan’ anjomba’ Iehovào.
And they answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for his mercy to Israel [endures] for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.
12 Fe nangoihoy ty rovetse o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio vaho o talèn’ anjomban-droaeo, o androanavy nahaisake i anjomba valoha’eio, ie nampijadoñeñe añatrefam-pihaino’ iareo eo o mananta’ ty anjomba toio, fe maro ka ty nipazapazak’ an-kaehake;
But many of the priests and the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and [who saw] this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.
13 aa le tsy nahatsikara’ ondatio ty famatsiña’ i fipazapazam-pirebehañey amy fangololoiha’ ondatioy; fa pinoña’ ondatio ty fipazake kanao jinanjiñe tsietoitane añe i hozakozakey.
And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.
