1 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai hono fitu ʻoe māhina, pea nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻe he kakai ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko e tangata pe taha.
到了七月,時住在各城裏的以色列子民,全都一起聚集在耶路撒冷。
2 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻonau langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.
約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞,和他的兄弟司祭們,以及沙耳提耳的兒子則魯巴貝耳,和他的兄弟們,於是下手修建以色列天主的祭壇,要按天主的人梅瑟在法律上所寫的,在上面奉獻全燔祭。
3 Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga; he naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi.
不論本地人民恐嚇,他們仍在原重建了祭壇,向上主獻了全燔祭,即每日早晚的全燔祭;
4 Naʻa nau fai ʻae kātoanga foki ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea naʻe ʻatu lau pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu; ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻo taau mo e ngāue ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē;
按照規定舉行了帳棚節,每天依照法定 數目奉獻全燔祭;
5 Pea naʻa nau toki ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu fai maʻu pe, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kotofa kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe fakatapui, pea meiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
以後,獻了恆常祭,並在月朔、安息日和一切祝聖於上主的慶日,獻了全燔祭,和各人自願向上主獻的自願祭。
6 Mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo hono fitu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova. Ka naʻe teʻeki fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova.
從七月一日起,已開始向上主奉獻全燔祭,雖然上主的殿宇當時尚未奠基,
7 Naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga foki ki he kau tufunga maka, pea ki he kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e meʻa kai, mo e inu, mo e lolo, kiate kinautolu ʻo Saitoni, pea kiate kinautolu ʻo Taia, ke fetuku ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni ki he tahi ʻo Sopa, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni meia Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
卻將銀錢交給鑿匠和木匠,將食物飲料和酒,供給那些從黎巴嫩由海中將香柏木運到約培來的漆東人和提洛人,全照波斯王居魯左所准許的。
8 Pea ko eni, ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, naʻe kamata ʻe Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono toe ʻo honau kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he nofo pōpula ki Selūsalema; ʻonau fakanofo ʻae kau Livai, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo honau motuʻa ʻo fai hake, ke kamata ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
他們來到耶路撒冷天主聖宇後的第二年二月,沙耳提耳的兒子則魯巴貝耳,約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞,和其餘的弟兄司祭及肋未人,以及所有由充軍回到耶路撒冷的人,動了工,派定二十歲和二十歲以上的肋未人,監督建築上主聖宇的工程。
9 Pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha ai ʻa Sesua mo hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo Katimieli mo hono ngaahi foha, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Siuta, ke fakahoko ʻae kau tangata ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Henatati, mo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi kāinga ko e kau Livai.
耶叔亞和他的兒子們,以及他的兄弟們,卡德米耳和他的兒子們,以及曷達委雅的後裔,同心協力,監督那建築天主聖宇的工人;還有赫納達的兒子們,以及他們的兒子和弟兄肋未人。
10 Pea ʻi he ʻai ʻe he kau langa fale ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova, naʻa nau tuku ke tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi meʻalea, mo e kau Livai ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi ke fakaongolelei ʻa Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
丌人們安放上主聖宇基礎時,司祭身穿禮服,拿著號筒,阿撒夫的後裔肋未人拿著鐃鈸,各自站在自己的地方,按以色列王達味制定的儀式,讚美上主,
11 Pea naʻa nau hiva kotoa pē ʻo fai fakalakanga ʻi he fakaongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angalelei, he ʻoku tolonga ʻene angaʻofa ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he kalanga lahi, ʻi heʻenau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
彼此輪流唱歌讚美和感謝上主的詩歌:「因為衪是聖善的,因為衪對以色列的仁慈永遠常存」。同時全體人民都大歡呼,讚美上主,因為上主的聖宇已經奠基。
12 Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai mo e kau tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ko e kau tangata motuʻa, naʻe mamata ki he ʻuluaki fale, ʻi he ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻi honau ʻao, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea kalanga ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fiefia.
許多曾在這地基上,親眼見過先前的聖殿的老司祭、老肋未人和老族長,面對這座聖殿,不禁放大哭,卻也有許多人歡喜高呼,
13 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ongoʻi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻae kalanga ʻoe fiefia mei he longoaʻa ʻoe tangi ʻae kakai: he naʻe kalanga ʻe he kakai ʻi he kalanga lahi, pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ki he mamaʻo.
以致分不清是歡呼聲或是哀哭聲,因為民眾都高聲喊叫,這聲音連遠處都可以聽到。
