एज्रा 3
1 इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना सहरमा फर्केको सातौं महिनमा तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
And when the seventh month drew near, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to 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 arose Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer thereon burnt-offerings, as it is 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 erected the altar upon its foundations; for there was fear upon them because of the people of these countries; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the Lord, burnt-offerings at morning and at evening.
4 लेखिएअनुसार तिनीहरूले छाप्रोवासको चाड पनि मनाए, र हरेक दिनको निम्ति आदेश भएअनुसार दिनदिनै होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
And they celebrated the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the prescribed manner, the offering of every day on its day;
5 यसैगरी, सबै स्वेच्छिक भेटीहरूका साथै परमप्रभुका सबै तोकिएका चाडका लागि दैनिक होमबलिहरू र मासिक होमबलिहरू र भेटीहरू पनि थिए ।
And afterward the continual burnt-offering, and that for the new moons, and for all the feasts of the Lord that are hallowed, and that of every one who willingly offered a free-will offering unto the Lord.
6 मन्दिरको जग नै नबसालिएको भए तापनि तिनीहरूले सातौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलिहरू चढाउन थाले ।
From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord: although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not yet been 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 ।
Then did they give money unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto the Zidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from the Lebanon by sea to Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus the king of Persia for 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 unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, did Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel and Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and the remainder of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem make a beginning; and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to superintend the work of 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 ।
Then stood forward Jeshua' with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, as one man, to superintend the workmen in the house of God; [also] the sons of Chenadad, 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 when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they placed the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Assaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the manner of David the 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 sang responsively in praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord; because he is good, for unto everlasting endureth his kindness toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, while praising the Lord; because the foundation of the house of the Lord had been laid.
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 Levites and chiefs of the divisions, the aged, who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, while many, shouting for joy, raised aloud their voice:
13 फलस्वरूप, मानिसहरूले आनन्द र खुसीको आवाजलाई रोएका मानिसहरूको आवाजबाट छुट्ट्याउन सकेनन् किनकि मानिसहरू ठुलो आनन्दले कराउँदै थिए, र आवाज टाढा-टाढासम्म सुनिएको थियो ।
So that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard ever so far off.
