1 इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना सहरमा फर्केको सातौं महिनमा तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
And the seventh month comes, and the sons of Israel [are] in the cities, and the people are gathered, 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 ।
And Jeshua son of Jozadak rises, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, and they build the altar of the God of Israel, to cause to ascend on it 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 establish the altar on its bases, because of the fear on them of the peoples of the lands, and he causes burnt-offerings to ascend on it to YHWH, burnt-offerings for the morning and for the evening.
4 लेखिएअनुसार तिनीहरूले छाप्रोवासको चाड पनि मनाए, र हरेक दिनको निम्‍ति आदेश भएअनुसार दिनदिनै होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
And they make the Celebration of the Shelters as it is written, and the burnt-offering of the day daily in number according to the ordinance, the matter of a day in its day;
5 यसैगरी, सबै स्वेच्छिक भेटीहरूका साथै परमप्रभुका सबै तोकिएका चाडका लागि दैनिक होमबलिहरू र मासिक होमबलिहरू र भेटीहरू पनि थिए ।
and after this a continual burnt-offering, and for new moons, and for all appointed times of YHWH that are sanctified; and for everyone who is willingly offering a willing-offering to YHWH.
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 they have begun to cause burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH, and the temple of YHWH has not been founded,
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 give money to hewers and to craftsmen, and food, and drink, and oil to Zidonians and to Tyrians, to bring in cedar-trees from Lebanon to the Sea of Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus king of Persia concerning 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, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those coming from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appoint the Levites from a son of twenty years and upward, to overlook the work of the house of YHWH.
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 Jeshua stands, [and] his sons, and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah together, to overlook those doing the work in the house of God; the sons of Henadad, [and] their sons and their brothers 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 those building have founded the temple of YHWH, and they appoint the priests, clothed, with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise YHWH, by means of [the instruments 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 respond in praising and in giving thanks to YHWH, “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time over Israel!” And all the people have shouted [with] a great shout in giving praise to YHWH, because the house of YHWH has been founded.
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 ।
And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house—in this house being founded before their eyes—are weeping with a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the 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 ।
and the people are not discerning the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people are shouting [with] a great shout, and the noise has been heard to a distance.
