Etera 4
1 Na, i te rongonga o nga hoariri o Hura raua ko Pineamine e hanga ana e te hunga i whakaraua nei te temepara o Ihowa, o te Atua, o Iharaira;
Forsothe the enemyes of Juda and of Beniamyn herden, that the sones of caitifte bildiden a temple to the Lord God of Israel;
2 Katahi ka haere ki a Herupapera, ki nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia hanga tahi tatou; e rapu ana hoki matou i to koutou Atua, e pena ana me koutou; he patu whakahere tonu hoki ta matou ki a ia, no nga ra o Etara Harono k ingi o Ahiria, i kawea mai ai matou ki konei.
and thei neiyeden to Zorobabel, and to the princes of fadris, and seiden to hem, Bilde we with you, for so as ye, we seken youre God; lo! we han offrid sacrificis fro the daies of Assoraddon, kyng of Assur, that brouyte vs hidur.
3 Otiia ko Herupapera ratou ko Hehua, ko era atu o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore he ahatanga a koutou ki a matou e hanga ai e koutou te whare mo to matou Atua; engari ma matou tonu e hanga, hei mea ki a Ihow a, ki te Atua o Iharaira; ko ta Kingi hairuha, kingi o Pahia tena i whakahau ai ki a matou.
And Zorobabel, and Josue, and the othere princes of the fadris of Israel, seiden to hem, It is not to vs and to you, that we bilde an hows to oure God; but we vs silf aloone schulen bilde to `oure Lord God, as Cirus, the kyng of Persis, comaundide to vs.
4 Na ka whakawarea nga ringa o te iwi o Hura e te iwi o te whenua, whakararurarua ana ratou kei hanga;
Forsothe it was doon, that the puple of the lond lettide the hondis of the puple of Juda, and trobliden hem in bildyng.
5 A i utua e ratou etahi kaiwhakapuaki korero hei whakakahore mo to ratou whakaaro i nga ra katoa o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, a tae noa ki te kingitanga o Tariuha kingi o Pahia.
And thei hiriden counselouris ayens the Jewis, that thei schulden destrie the counseil of the Jewis, in alle the daies of Cirus, king of Persis, and `til to the rewme of Darius, king of Persis.
6 Na, i te kingitanga o Ahahueruha, i te timatanga o tona kingitanga, ka tuhituhia e ratou he kupu whakahe mo nga tangata o Hura, o Hiruharama.
Forsothe in the rewme of Assueris, he is Artaxersis, in the bigynnyng of his rewme, thei writiden accusing ayens the dwellers of Juda and of Jerusalem;
7 Na, i nga ra o Arataherehe ka tuhituhi a Pihirama, a Mitirerata, a Tapeere me era atu o o ratou hoa ki a Arataherehe kingi o Pahia. Na, ko te tuhituhinga o te pukapuka, no Hiria nga reta; no Hiria ano te reo.
and in the daies of Artaxarses, Besellam wroot, Mytridates, and Thabel, and othere, that weren in the counsel of hem, to Artaxarses, kyng of Persis. For the pistle of accusyng was writun in langage of Sirie, and was red in word of Sirie.
8 Na Rehumu kaitiaki ture raua ko Himihai kaituhituhi i tuhituhi te pukapuka whakahe mo Hiruharama ki a Arataherehe, ki te kingi, koia tenei:
Reum, Beel, Theem, and Samsai, the scryuen, writen sich oon epistle fro Jerusalem to the kyng Artaxerses; Reum,
9 Na kei te tuhituhi a Rehumu kaitiaki ture, a Himihai kaituhituhi, ratou ko era atu o o raua hoa, ko nga Rinai, ko nga Aparahataki, ko nga Taraperi, ko nga Aparahi, ko nga Arakewi, ko nga tangata o Papurona, ko nga Huhanaki, ko nga Rehawi, ko nga Erami,
Beel, Theem, and Samsai, the writere, and othere counselouris of hem, Dyney, Pharsathei, and Therphalei, Arphasei, Harthuei, men of Babiloyne, Susanne, Thanei, Dacei, men of Helam,
10 Me era atu ano o nga iwi i whakahekea mai e Ahanapere, e taua tangata nui, ingoa nui, a whakanohoia ana e ia ki nga pa o Hamaria, me era atu wahi i tera taha o te awa, a tera atu nga kupu.
and othere of hethene men, whiche the grete and gloriouse Asennaphar translatide, and made hem to dwelle in the citees of Samarie, and in othere cuntrees biyonde the flood, `in pees.
11 Ko nga kupu tenei o te pukapuka i tukua e ratou ki a Kingi Arataherehe, Na au pononga, na nga tangata i tera taha o te awa, a tera atu nga kupu.
This is the saumplere of the pistle, which thei senten to the kyng. `To Artaxerses, king, thi seruauntis, men `that ben biyende the flood, seyn helthe.
12 Kia mohiotia tenei e te kingi, ko nga Hurai i haere mai i tou taha, kua tae mai ki a matou ki Hiruharama; kei te hanga ratou i taua pa tutu, kino; kua whakaturia e ratou nga taiepa, kua oti ano nga turanga te honohono.
Be it knowun to the kyng, that the Jewis, that stieden fro thee, ben comun to vs `in to Jerusalem, the rebel and worste citee, which thei bilden, and thei maken the ground wallis therof, and arayen the wallis aboue.
13 Na kia mohiotia tenei e te kingi, ki te hanga tenei pa, ki te whakaturia te taiepa, e kore e homai e ratou nga takoha taonga, nga takoha tangata, nga takoha huarahi: penei ka pa he raru ki nga kingi.
Nou therfor be it knowun to the kyng, that if thilke citee be bildid, and the wallis therof be restorid, thei schulen not yyue tribut, and tol, and annuel rentis, and this trespas schal come `til to the kyng.
14 Na, i te mea e kai ana matou i te tote o te whare o te kingi, a e kore e tika kia titiro matou ki te kingi e whakaititia ana, koia i unga ai e matou he tangata kia mohio ai te kingi;
Therfor we ben myndeful of the salt, which we eeten in the paleis, and for we holden it vnleueful to se the harmes of the kyng, therfor we han sent and teld to the kyng;
15 Kia rapua ai i roto i te pukapuka whakamahara a ou matua: a ka kitea e koe i roto i te pukapuka whakamahara, a ka mohio koe he pa tutu tenei pa, he kino ki nga kingi me nga whenua, a he whakaoho whakakeke ta ratou i reira i mua: ko te mea hoki t era i whakangaromia ai tenei pa.
that thou acounte in the bokis of stories of thi fadris, and thou schalt fynde writun in cronyclis, and thou schalt wite, that thilke citee is a rebel citee, and that it anoieth kyngis and prouynces, and batels ben reisid therynne of elde daies; wherfor also thilke citee was distried.
16 E whakaatu ana tenei matou ki te kingi, ki te hanga tenei pa, a ka oti ona taiepa te whakatu, ma reira ka kore he wahi mou i tera taha o te awa.
We tellen to the kyng, that if thilke citee be bildid, and the wallis therof be restorid, thou schalt not haue possessioun biyende the flood.
17 Katahi ka tukua he kupu e te kingi ki a Rehumu kaitiaki ture, ki a Himihai kaituhituhi, ki era atu hoki o o raua hoa e noho ana i Hamaria, i era atu wahi ano o te whenua i tera taha o te awa, Kia ora, a tera atu nga kupu.
The kyng sente word to Reum, Beel, Theem, and to Samsai, the scryuen, and to othere that weren in the counsel of hem, to the dwelleris of Samarie, and to othere biyendis the flood, and seide, Helthe and pees.
18 Ko te pukapuka i tukua mai nei e koutou ki a matou kua ata korerotia ki toku aroaro.
The accusyng, which ye senten to vs, was red opynli bifor me;
19 Na kua whakahau nei ahau, a kua rapua, kua kitea he pa whakakeke tena i mua ki nga kingi; he mahi tutu, he mahi whakakeke ta reira.
and it was comaundid of me, and thei rekenyden, and thei foundun, that thilke citee rebellith of elde daies ayens kyngis, and dissenciouns and batels ben reisid therynne;
20 He kingi nunui ano hoki o Hiruharama i kingi ki nga whenua katoa i tena taha o te awa; i hoatu ano he takoha taonga, he takoha tangata, he takoha huarahi ki a ratou.
for whi `and ful stronge kyngis weren in Jerusalem, which also weren lordis of al the cuntrei which is biyende the flood; also thei token tribut, and tol, and rentis.
21 Na, kiia e koutou kia whakamutua te mahi a ena tangata, kia kaua hoki tena pa e hanga, kia hoatu ra ano e ahau tetahi atu ture.
Now therfor here ye the sentence, that ye forbede tho men, and that thilke citee be not bildid, til if perauenture it be comaundid of me.
22 Na kia tupato kei mangere ki tenei mea: me tuku koia te he kia tupu hei he mo nga kingi?
Se ye, that this be not fillid necgligentli, and yuel encreesse litil `and litil ayens kyngis.
23 Heoi, i te korerotanga o nga kupu o te pukapuka a Kingi Arataherehe ki te aroaro o Rehumu, o Himihai kaituhituhi ratou ko o raua hoa, hohoro tonu ratou ki Hiruharama ki nga Hurai, na, uaua tonu te ringa i whakamutua ai ta ratou.
Therfor the saumple of the comaundement of kyng Artaxarses was red bifor Reum, Beel, Theem, and Samsai, the scryueyn, and her counseleris; and thei yeden hastili in to Jerusalem to the Jewis, and forbediden hem with arm and myyt.
24 Katahi ka mutu te mahi o te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama. Mutu ake a taea noatia te rua o nga tau o te kingitanga o Tariuha kingi o Pahia.
Thanne the werk of Goddis hows in Jerusalem was left, and it was not maad til to the secounde yeer of Darius, king of Persis.
