एज्रा 6
1 त्यसैले दारा राजाले बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा खोजतलाश गर्ने आज्ञा दिए ।
Then king Darius gave orders, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
2 मादी प्रान्तको एक्बातानको किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहरमा एउटा मुट्ठो भेट्टाइयो । त्यसको विवरण यस्तो थियोः
And there was found at Achmetha in the fortress that is in the province of Media a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
3 “राजा कोरेसको पहिलो वर्षमा, कोरेसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको बारेमा एउटा आदेश जारी गर्नुभयो, 'बलिदानको स्थानको रूपमा एउटा भवन पुनर्निर्माण गरियोस्, यसका जगहरू बसालिऊन्, यसको उचाइ साठी हात र चौडाइ साठी हात होस्,
In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus made a decree [concerning] the house of God at Jerusalem: Let the house be built for a place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be solidly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits,
4 चोकमा ठुला ढुङ्गाका छपनी तिन लहर र फल्याकका छपनी एक लहर होस्, अनि राजदरबाट यसको खर्च तिरियोस् ।
[with] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
5 अब नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट बेबिलोनमा ल्याएका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सुन र चाँदीका थोकहरू लिएर ल्याऊ र तिनलाई यरूशलेमकै मन्दिरमा फिर्ता पठाऊ । तिमीहरूले तिनलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राख्नुपर्छ ।'
and also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple that is at Jerusalem, in their place; and thou shalt put [them] in the house of God.
6 अब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिकप प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू अलग बसून् ।
Therefore Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
7 परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको काममा बाधा नदिनू । गभर्नर र यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले त्यस ठाउँमा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउनेछन् ।
let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिर बनाउने यी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूका लागि तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू भनी म तिमीहरूलाई हुकुम दिंदैछुः तिनीहरूले आफ्नो काम रोक्न नपरोस् भनेर यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारिको राजकीय कोषबाट रुपियाँ-पैसा दिनू ।
Moreover, I give orders what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews, for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be diligently given to these men, that they be not hindered.
9 तिनीहरूलाई आवश्यक हरेक कुरो अर्थात् स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउन साँढेहरू, भेडाहरू वा थुमाहरू र यरूशलेमका पुजारीहरूको आज्ञामुताबिक अन्न, नून, दाखमद्य वा तेल दिनहुँ तिनीहरूलाई नबिर्सी दिनू ।
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks and rams and lambs, for the burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;
10 यसै गर्नू ताकि तिनीहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति भेटी ल्याऊन् र म राजा अनि मेरा छोराहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरून् ।
that they may present sweet odours to the God of the heavens, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
11 कसैले यस आदेशलाई उल्लङ्घन गर्यो भने त्यसको घरबाट एउटा खम्बा उखेलियोस् र त्यसलाई त्यही खम्बामा टाँगियोस् भनी म आज्ञा दिंदैछु ।यो कारणले त्यसपछि त्यसको घरलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रोमा परिणत गरियोस् ।
Also I have given order that whosoever shall alter this rescript, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 त्यस ठाउँमा आफ्नो नाउँ राख्नुहुने परमेश्वरले यस आदेशलाई बद्लन खोज्ने वा यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरलाई नष्ट गर्न खोज्ने कुनै पनि राजा वा मानिसलाई पदच्यूत गरून् । म दाराले यो आदेश दिंदैछु । मेहनतसाथ यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गरियोस् ।”
And the God that has caused his name to dwell there overthrow every king and people that shall put forth their hand to alter [or] to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have given [this] order; let it be done diligently.
13 तब राजा दाराद्वारा पठाइएको यस आदेशको कारणले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरूले राजा दाराले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार हरेक कुरा गरे ।
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, because of that which king Darius had sent, did so diligently.
14 यसरी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले हाग्गै अगमवक्ता र इद्दोका छोरा जकरियाको सुझाव मानेर निर्माण गरे र उन्नति गरे । इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको आज्ञा र फारसका राजाहरू कोरेस, दारा र अर्तासास्तका आदेशअनुसार तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भवन बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
And the elders of the Jews built; and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and completed [it] according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 राजा दाराको शासनकालको छैटौं वर्षको अदार महिनाको तेस्रो दिनमा मन्दिरको काम पुरा भयो ।
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
16 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू र निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले आनन्दसाथ परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको समर्पण-उत्सव मनाए ।
And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy;
17 परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको समर्पणको निम्ति तिनीहरूले एक सयवटा साँढे, एक सयवटा भेडा र चार सयवटा थुमा बलि चढाए । इस्राएलका एक-एक कुलको लागि सारा इस्राएलीको लागि पापबलिको रूपमा बाह्रवटा बोका पनि चढाइयो ।
and they presented at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम तिनीहरूले पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको सेवाको लागि तिनीहरूका विभाजनअनुसार नियुक्त पनि गरे ।
And they set the priests in their classes, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem: as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 यसरी निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरूले पहिलो महिनाको चौधौं दिनमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
And the children of the captivity held the passover upon the fourteenth of the first month.
20 पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, र आफूलगायत निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबैका लागि निस्तारको बलि चढाए ।
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one [man]: they were all pure; and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
21 निस्तारको मासु खाने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा निर्वासनबाट फर्केका र देशका मानिसहरूको अशुद्धताबाट आफूलाई अलग राखेका अनि इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गरेकाहरू थिए ।
And the children of Israel that were come back out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah the God of Israel, did eat;
22 तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म हर्षका साथ अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमा आनन्द ल्याउनुभएको थियो, र इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको मन्दिर अर्थात् उहाँको घरको काममा तिनीहरूका हात बलियो पार्न अश्शूरका राजाको ह्रदय फर्काइदिनुभएको थियो ।
and they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for Jehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
