Etera 1
1 Na, i te tau tuatahi o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, he mea kia whakamana ai te kupu a Ihowa, i whakapuakina e Heremaia, ka whakaohokia e Ihowa te wairua o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, a tukua ana e tera tana karanga puta noa i tona kingitanga, i tuhituhi hok i e ia, i mea ia,
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of YHWH from the mouth of Jeremiah, has YHWH awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
2 Ko te kupu tenei a Hairuha kingi o Pahia, kua oti nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua te homai ki ahau e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga rangi; kua whakahaua mai hoki ahau e ia kia hanga he whare mona ki Hiruharama, ki tera i Hura.
“Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;
3 Ahakoa ko wai o koutou o tana iwi katoa, hei a ia tona Atua, a me haere ake ia ki Hiruharama, ki tera i Hura, ki te hanga i te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, ko ia nei te Atua, kei Hiruharama ano ia.
who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he goes up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and builds the house of YHWH, God of Israel (He [alone is] God), that [is] in Jerusalem.
4 Na, ko te tangata ka mahue ki te wahi e noho ai ia, ma nga tangata o tona wahi ia e awhina ki te hiriwa, ki te koura, ki te taonga, ki te kararehe, hei tapiri mo nga mea hoatu noa mo te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama.
And everyone who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, the men of his place assist him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem.”
5 Katahi ka whakatika nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Hura, o Pineamine, me nga tohunga, me nga Riwaiti, me te hunga katoa i whakaohokia nei o ratou wairua e te Atua, ka mea ki te haere ki te hanga i te whare o Ihowa i Hiruharama.
And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even everyone whose spirit God has awoken, to go up to build the house of YHWH, that [is] in Jerusalem;
6 Na, ko nga tangata katoa i o ratou taha, kei te whakakaha i o ratou ringa ki te oko hiriwa, ki te koura, ki te taonga, ki te kararehe, ki te mea utu nui, he mea tapiri ki nga mea homai noa katoa.
and all those around them have strengthened [them] with their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that has been offered willingly.
7 A i whakaputaina e Kingi Hairuha nga oko o te whare o Ihowa i kawea atu nei e ia ki roto ki te whare o ona atua;
And King Cyrus has brought out the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar has brought out of Jerusalem, and puts them in the house of his gods;
8 I whakaputaina enei e Hairuha kingi o Pahia, ara e Mitirerata kaitiaki taonga, taua atu ana e ia ki a Hehepatara rangatira o Hura.
indeed, Cyrus king of Persia brings them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbers them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
9 Ko te maha tenei o aua mea: e toru tekau peihana koura, kotahi mano peihana hiriwa, e rua tekau ma iwa maripi;
And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver one thousand, knives twenty-nine,
10 E toru tekau nga haka koura, ko nga haka hiriwa, he ahua ke, e wha rau kotahi tekau; ko etahi oko ke, kotahi mano.
basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels one thousand.
11 Ko nga oko katoa, ke nga mea koura, ko nga mea hiriwa, e rima mano e wha rau. Ko enei katoa i kawea atu e Hehepatara i te kawenga o nga whakarau i Papurona ki Hiruharama.
All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole has Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the expulsion from Babylon to Jerusalem.
