एज्रा 3
1 इस्राएलीहरू आ-आफ्ना सहरमा फर्केको सातौं महिनमा तिनीहरू एक जना मानिसझैं यरूशलेममा भेला भए ।
When the seventh month had come, 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 Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, 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 ।
In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 लेखिएअनुसार तिनीहरूले छाप्रोवासको चाड पनि मनाए, र हरेक दिनको निम्ति आदेश भएअनुसार दिनदिनै होमबलिहरू चढाए ।
They kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, 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 the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh’s temple 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 also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from 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 God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh’s house.
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 Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with 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 ।
When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions 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 ।
They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of Yahweh’s house 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 heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also 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 joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
