एज्रा 7
1 यसपछि फारसका राजा अर्तासास्तको शासनकालमा बेबिलोनबाट एज्रा आए । एज्राका पुर्खाहरू यिनै थिएः सरायाह, अजर्याह, हिल्कियाह,
After all this, during the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra arrived from Babylon. He was the son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
2 शल्लूम, सादोक, अहीतूब,
son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
3 अमर्याह, अजर्याह, मरायोत,
son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
4 जरयाह, उज्जी, बुक्की,
son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
5 अबीशू, पीनहास, एलाजार । एलाजार प्रधान पुजारी हारूनका छोरा थिए ।
son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the high priest.
6 एज्रा बेबिलोनबाट आए, र इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका मोशाको व्यवस्थामा तिनी निपुण अध्यापक थिए । परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि भएको हुनाले तिनले मागेका हरेक कुरा राजाले दिए ।
This Ezra arrived from Babylon, and was a scribe who was an expert in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given to Israel. The king had granted Ezra everything he'd asked for, because the Lord his God was with him.
7 राजा अर्तासास्तको सातौं वर्षमा इस्राएलका केही सन्तानहरू, पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, मन्दिरका गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू र मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्त गरिएकाहरू पनि यरूशलेममा गए ।
In the seventh year of King Artaxerxes left for Jerusalem, accompanied by some of the people of Israel, and some of the priests and Levites, singers and gatekeepers, and Temple servants.
8 तिनी त्यही वर्षको पाँचौं महिनामा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of King Artaxerxes' reign.
9 पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा तिनी बेबिलोनबाट हिंडेका थिए । परमेश्वरको असल हात तिनीमाथि रहेको हुनाले तिनी पाँचौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
He had started the journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, his gracious God going with him.
10 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू अध्ययन गर्न, पालन गर्न र सिकाउन एज्राले आफ्नो ह्रदय समर्पित गरेका थिए ।
For Ezra had committed himself to gaining insights from the Law of the Lord, wanting to practice it and to teach in Israel its rules and how to live.
11 राजा अर्तासास्तले इस्राएलका लागि परमप्रभुका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू सिकाउन पुजारी र अध्यापक एज्रालाई दिएको आदेशको प्रतिलिपी यही हो,
This is a copy of the letter King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest and scribe, who had studied the Lord's commandments and regulations given to Israel:
12 “राजाहरूका राजा अर्तासास्तबाट स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाका अध्यापक पुजारी एज्रालाई,
“Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
13 इस्राएलबाट आएका मेरो राज्यमा भएका कुनै पनि व्यक्ति आफ्ना पुजारी र लेवीहरूका साथमा यरूशलेममा जाने इच्छा गर्छ भने त्यो तिमीसँगै जान सक्छ भनी म हुकुम दिंदैछु।
I hereby issue this decree: Any of the people of Israel or their priests or Levites in my kingdom who voluntarily decide to go to Jerusalem with you may do so.
14 तिम्रो हातमा भएको परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामुताबिक यहूदा र यरूशलेमको बारेमा सोधखोज गर्न म राजा र मेरा सात जना सल्लाहकारले तिमीलाई पठाएका छौं ।
You are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to investigate the situation in Judah and Jerusalem as it relates to the Law of your God, which you carry with you.
15 यरूशलेममा बास गर्नुहुने इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई तिनीहरूले सित्तैंमा चढाएका चाँदी र सुन लिएर जानू ।
We also instruct you to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have voluntarily donated to the God of Israel, whose lives in Jerusalem,
16 बेबिलोनको प्रदेशभरि तिमीले लैजान सक्ने जति चाँदी र सुनसाथै यरूशलेममा आफ्ना परमेश्वरका मन्दिरको निम्ति मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूले खुसीसाथ जुन भेटीहरू दिन्छन्, ती पनि तिमीले लैजानू ।
together with all the silver and gold you may receive from the province of Babylon, as well as the voluntary donations of the people and priests to the Temple of their God in Jerusalem.
17 त्यसैले यस रकमले प्रशस्त मात्रामा गोरुहरू, भेडाहरू, थुमाहरू, अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि किन्नू । यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको वेदीमा ति चढाउनू ।
You are to use this money first to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as necessary, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and present them on the altar at the Temple of your God in Jerusalem.
18 तिम्रा परमेश्वरलाई खुसी तुल्याउन तिमी र तिम्रा दाजुभाइलाई असल लागेअनुसार बाँकी चाँदी र सुनको प्रयोग गर्नू ।
Then you and those with you may decide to use the rest of the silver and gold in whatever way you think best, in accordance with the will of your God.
19 तिमीलाई सित्तैंमा दिइएका चिजहरू यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सेवाको लागि उहाँको सामु राख्नू ।
But the items you have been given for the service of the Temple of your God must be all delivered to the God of Jerusalem.
20 तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको लागि आवश्यक कुनै पनि थोक किन्नलाई मेरो कोषबाट पैसा लिनू ।
If there is anything else required for the Temple of your God that you have to provide, you may charge it to the royal treasury.
21 म अर्तासास्तले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै कोषाध्यक्ष यो आदेश दिन्छु, कि एज्राले तिमीहरूबाट मागेका कुनै पनि थोक प्रचुर मात्रामा दिनू,
I, King Artaxerxes, decree that all the treasurers west of the Euphrates should provide whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require from you, and it must be provided in full,
22 अर्थात् एक सय तोडा चाँदी, एक सय कोर गहुँ, एक सय बाथ दाखमद्य, एक सय बाथ तेल र नूनचाहिं असिमित रूपमा दिनू ।
up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred cors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of olive oil, and unrestricted amounts of salt.
23 स्वर्गका परमेश्वरबाट आउने कुनै पनि आज्ञा आउँछ भने उहाँको मन्दिरको लागि भक्तिसहित पुरा गर्नू । किनकि म र मेरा छोराहरूको राज्यमाथि उहाँको क्रोध पर्न किन दिनू?
Make sure you provide in full whatever the God of heaven requires for his Temple, for why should his anger be brought down on the king and his sons?
24 पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू वा मन्दिरको सेवामा नियुक्त गरिएका मानिसहरू र परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सेवकहरूमा तिमीहरूले कुनै महसुल वा कर नलगाउनु भनेर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई जानकारी गराउँदैछौं ।
Also be aware that all of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Temple servants, or other workers of this Temple are exempt from paying any tax, tribute, or fees, and you are not authorized to charge them.
25 एज्रा, तिमीलाई परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको बुद्धिले तिमीले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै मानिसको न्याय गर्न र तिम्रो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था जान्ने सबैको सेवा गर्न न्यायकर्ताहरू र अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नू । व्यवस्था नजान्नेहरूलाई पनि तिमीले सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
You, Ezra, are to follow the wisdom of your God which you possess, shall appoint magistrates and judges to provide justice to all the people west of the Euphrates—all those who follow the laws of your God. You are to teach these laws to those who do not.
26 परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था वा राजाको व्यवस्थालाई पूर्ण रूपमा पालन नगर्ने जोकसैलाई मृत्युदण्ड, देश निकाला, तिनीहरूका थोकहरू जफत वा कैद गरेर दण्ड दिनू ।
Anyone who does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, will be severely punished, either by death, banishment, seizure of property, or imprisonment.”
27 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको स्तुति होस् जसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको महिमा गर्न राजाको ह्रदयमा यी सबै कुरा हाल्नुभयो,
Praise the Lord, the God of our forefathers, who put into the king's mind to honor the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem in this way,
28 अनि राजा, तिनका सल्लाहाकारहरू र तिनका सबै शक्तिशाली अधिकारीहरूका सामु मलाई उहाँको करारको विश्वास्तता देखाउनुभयो । म परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरको हातद्वारा बलियो बनाइएको छु, र मैले आफूसित जानलाई इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गरें ।
and who has shown me such kindness by honoring me before the king, his counselors, and all his high officials. Because the Lord my God was with me, I was encouraged and called together the leaders of Israel to return to Jerusalem with me.
