एज्रा 3
1 इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना सहरमा फर्केको सातौं महिनमा तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel [were] in the cities, the people assembled themselves 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 Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings on it 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 set the altar upon its bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt-offerings on it to the LORD, [even] burnt-offerings morning and evening.
4 लेखिएअनुसार तिनीहरूले छाप्रोवासको चाड पनि मनाए, र हरेक दिनको निम्ति आदेश भएअनुसार दिनदिनै होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as [it is] written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
5 यसैगरी, सबै स्वेच्छिक भेटीहरूका साथै परमप्रभुका सबै तोकिएका चाडका लागि दैनिक होमबलिहरू र मासिक होमबलिहरू र भेटीहरू पनि थिए ।
And afterward [offered] the continual burnt-offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly 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 ।
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt-offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not [yet] 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 ।
They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and provisions, and drink, and oil, to them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
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 ।
Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward 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 Jeshua [with] his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, [with] 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 set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance 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 sang together by course in praising and giving thanks to the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was 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 chief of the fathers, old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
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 discern the noise of the shout of the joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
