एज्रा 3
1 इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना सहरमा फर्केको सातौं महिनमा तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
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 योसादाकका छोरा येशूअ र तिनका पुजारी दाजुभाइहरू, शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल र तिनका दाजुभाइहरू उठे, र परमेश्वरका मानिस मोशाको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएझैं होमबलिहरू चढाउन इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको वेदी निर्माण गरे ।
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 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूमा देशका मानिसहरूको डर परेको भए तापनि तिनीहरूले वेदीलाई त्यसको आधारमा स्थापित गरे । तिनीहरूले बिहान र बेलुका परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
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 लेखिएअनुसार तिनीहरूले छाप्रोवासको चाड पनि मनाए, र हरेक दिनको निम्ति आदेश भएअनुसार दिनदिनै होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
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 यसैगरी, सबै स्वेच्छिक भेटीहरूका साथै परमप्रभुका सबै तोकिएका चाडका लागि दैनिक होमबलिहरू र मासिक होमबलिहरू र भेटीहरू पनि थिए ।
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 मन्दिरको जग नै नबसालिएको भए तापनि तिनीहरूले सातौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलिहरू चढाउन थाले ।
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 तिनीहरूले ढुङ्गा काट्ने र कारीगरहरूलाई चाँदी दिए, अनि फारसका राजा कोरेसले सीदोन र टुरोसका मानिसहरूलाई अधिकार दिएका हुनाले लेबनानदेखि योप्पासम्म समुद्राबाट उनीहरूले देवदारुका काठहरू ल्याइदिऊन् भनी तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई खाना, पानी र तेल दिए ।
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 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा आएको दोस्रो वर्षको दोस्रो महिनामा शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, योसादाकका छोरा येशूअ, बाँकी पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू र निर्वासनबाट यरूशलेममा फर्केकाहरूले काम गर्न सुरु गरे । तिनीहरूले बिस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा माथिका लेवीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको निरीक्षण गर्ने जिम्मा दिए ।
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 येशूअ र तिनका छोराहरूसाथै दाजुभाइहरू, कादमीएल र तिनका छोराहरू (जो होदबियाका सन्तानहरू थिए), हेनादादका छोराहरू र तिनीहरूका छोराहरू र दाजुभाइ जो सबै लेवी थिए, तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिर निर्माण गर्नेहरूको निरीक्षण गर्न एकजुट भए ।
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 जब निर्माणकर्ताहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसाले, तब पुजारीहरू आ-आफ्ना पोशाकहरूमा तुरहीहरू लिएर अनि लेवीहरू र आसापका छोराहरू झ्यालीहरू लिएर परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्न खडा भए, जसरी इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदले आज्ञा गरेका थिए ।
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 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई प्रशंसा र धन्यवादको गीत गाए, “उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ! इस्राएलसित बाँधिएको उहाँको करारको विश्वासनियता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।” मन्दिरको जग बसालिएको हुनाले सबै मानिसले परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्दै आनन्दले कराए ।
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 तर पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू र मुख्य मानिसहरूमध्ये धेरै जना जो धेरै वृद्ध थिए र पहिलो मन्दिरलाई देखेका थिए, जब तिनीहरूको आँखाको सामु यो मन्दिरको जग बसालियो, तब तिनीहरू धुरुधुरु रोए । तर खुसी र आनन्दको चर्को स्वरको आनन्दले कराउने मानिसहरूको संख्या धेरै थियो ।
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 फलस्वरूप, मानिसहरूले आनन्द र खुसीको आवाजलाई रोएका मानिसहरूको आवाजबाट छुट्ट्याउन सकेनन् किनकि मानिसहरू ठुलो आनन्दले कराउँदै थिए, र आवाज टाढा-टाढासम्म सुनिएको थियो ।
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.
