एज्रा 6
1 त्यसैले दारा राजाले बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा खोजतलाश गर्ने आज्ञा दिए ।
So King Darius ordered an investigation in the house of archives in Babylon.
2 मादी प्रान्तको एक्बातानको किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहरमा एउटा मुट्ठो भेट्टाइयो । त्यसको विवरण यस्तो थियोः
In the fortified city of Ecbatana in Media a scroll was found; this was its record:
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, Cyrus issued a decree about the house of God in Jerusalem: 'Let the house be rebuilt as a place for sacrifice, let its foundations be laid, let its height be sixty cubits, and its width sixty cubits,
4 चोकमा ठुला ढुङ्गाका छपनी तिन लहर र फल्याकका छपनी एक लहर होस्, अनि राजदरबाट यसको खर्च तिरियोस् ।
with three rows of large stones and a row of new timber, and let the cost be paid by 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 ।'
Now bring back the gold and silver objects belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon from the temple in Jerusalem and send them back to the temple in Jerusalem. You are to put them in the house of God.'
6 अब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिकप प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू अलग बसून् ।
Now Tattenai, the governor of the Province Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and associates who are in the Province Beyond the River, keep away!
7 परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको काममा बाधा नदिनू । गभर्नर र यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले त्यस ठाउँमा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउनेछन् ।
Leave the work of this house of God alone. The governor and Jewish elders will build this house of God at that 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 ।
I am ordering that you must do this for these Jewish elders who build this house of God: Funds from the king's tribute beyond the River will be used to pay these men so they do not have to stop their work.
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 ।
Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, or lambs for the burnt offerings to the God of Heaven, grain, salt, wine, or oil according to the command of the priests in Jerusalem—give these things to them every day without fail.
10 यसै गर्नू ताकि तिनीहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति भेटी ल्याऊन् र म राजा अनि मेरा छोराहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरून् ।
Do this so they will bring the offering in to the God of Heaven and pray for me, the king, and my 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 ।
I am ordering that if anyone violates this decree, a beam must be pulled from his house and he must be impaled on it. His house must then be turned into a rubbish heap because of 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 ।”
May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree, or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, am ordering this. Let it be done with diligence!”
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 because of the decree sent by Darius the king, Tattenai, the governor of the Province Beyond the River, and Shethar-Bozenai and his associates, did everything that King Darius had ordered.
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 ।
So the Jewish elders built and prospered under the teaching of Haggaithe prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They completed their buildings according to the decree of the God of Israel and by the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
15 राजा दाराको शासनकालको छैटौं वर्षको अदार महिनाको तेस्रो दिनमा मन्दिरको काम पुरा भयो ।
The house was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of King Darius' reign.
16 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू र निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले आनन्दसाथ परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको समर्पण-उत्सव मनाए ।
The Israelite people, priests, Levites, and the rest of the captives celebrated 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 ।
They offered one hundred bulls, one hundred rams, and four hundred lambs for the dedication of God's house. Twelve male goats were also offered as a sin offering for all Israel, one for each tribe in Israel.
18 मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम तिनीहरूले पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको सेवाको लागि तिनीहरूका विभाजनअनुसार नियुक्त पनि गरे ।
They also assigned the priests and Levites to work divisions for the service of God in Jerusalem, as it was written in the Book of Moses.
19 यसरी निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरूले पहिलो महिनाको चौधौं दिनमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
So those who had been in exile celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, र आफूलगायत निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबैका लागि निस्तारको बलि चढाए ।
The priests and Levites all purified themselves and slaughtered the Passover sacrifices for all those who had been in exile, including themselves.
21 निस्तारको मासु खाने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा निर्वासनबाट फर्केका र देशका मानिसहरूको अशुद्धताबाट आफूलाई अलग राखेका अनि इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गरेकाहरू थिए ।
The Israelite people who ate some of the Passover meat were those who had returned from exile and had separated themselves from the uncleanness of the people of the land and sought Yahweh, the God of Israel.
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 ।
They joyfully celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days, for Yahweh had brought them joy and turned the heart of Assyria's king to strengthen their hands in the work of his house, the house of the God of Israel.
