Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the scrolls of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
2 A rí ìwé kíká kan ní Ekbatana ibi kíkó ìwé sí ní ilé olódi agbègbè Media, wọ̀nyí ni ohun tí a kọ sínú rẹ̀. Ìwé ìrántí.
and there has been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a scroll, and a record thus written within it [is]:

“In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king has made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: let the house be built in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
4 pẹ̀lú ipele òkúta ńlá ńlá mẹ́ta ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ àti ipele pákó kan, kí a san owó rẹ̀ láti inú ilé ìṣúra ọba.
three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and let the outlay be given out of the king’s house.

And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.

Now Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be far from here;
7 Ẹ fi iṣẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run yìí lọ́rùn sílẹ̀ láì dí i lọ́wọ́. Ẹ jẹ́ kí baálẹ̀ àwọn Júù àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tún ilé Ọlọ́run yín kọ́ sí ipò rẹ̀.
let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and [the] elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.

And a decree is made by me concerning that which you do with [the] elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of [the] riches of [the] king, that [are] of [the] tribute beyond [the] river, let the outlay be given speedily to these men, that they do not cease;

and what they are needing—both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem—let be given to them day by day without fail,
10 Kí wọn lè rú àwọn ẹbọ tí ó tẹ́ Ọlọ́run ọ̀run lọ́rùn kí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà fún àlàáfíà ọba àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
that they are bringing sweet savors near to the God of the heavens, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.

And a decree is made by me, that anyone who changes this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be struck on it, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 Kí Ọlọ́run, tí ó ti jẹ́ kí orúkọ rẹ̀ máa gbé ibẹ̀, kí ó pa gbogbo ọba àti orílẹ̀-èdè rún tí ó bá gbé ọwọ́ sókè láti yí àṣẹ yìí padà tàbí láti wó tẹmpili yìí tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu run. Èmi Dariusi n pàṣẹ rẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó di mímúṣẹ láìyí ohunkóhun padà.
And God, who caused His Name to dwell there, casts down any king and people that puts forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; let it be done speedily.”

Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king has sent, so they have done speedily;

and [the] elders of [the] Jews are building and prospering through [the] prophecy of Haggai [the] prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by [the] decree of [the] God of Israel, and by [the] decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 A parí ilé Olúwa ní ọjọ́ kẹta, oṣù Addari tí í se oṣù kejì ní ọdún kẹfà ti ìjọba ọba Dariusi.
And this house has gone out until the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,

and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God: one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and twelve young male goats for a sin-offering for all Israel according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
18 Wọ́n sì fi àwọn àlùfáà sí àwọn ìpín wọ́n àti àwọn Lefi sì ẹgbẹẹgbẹ́ wọn fún ìsin ti Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé Mose.
and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the scroll of Moses.
19 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá ti oṣù Nisani, àwọn tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn ṣe ayẹyẹ àjọ ìrékọjá.
And the sons of the captivity make the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
20 Àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi ti ya ara wọn sí mímọ́, wọ́n sì jẹ́ mímọ́. Àwọn ará Lefi pa ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ti àjọ ìrékọjá fún gbogbo àwọn tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn, fún àwọn àlùfáà arákùnrin wọn àti fún ara wọn.
for the priests and the Levites have been purified together—all of them [are] pure—and they slaughter the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.

And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and everyone who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land to them, to seek to YHWH, God of Israel, eat,
22 Fún ọjọ́ méje, wọ́n ṣe ayẹyẹ àkàrà àìwú pẹ̀lú àjẹtì àkàrà. Nítorí tí Olúwa ti kún wọn pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ nípa yíyí ọkàn ọba Asiria padà, tí ó fi ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ lórí iṣẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
and they make the Celebration of Unleavened Things seven days with joy, for YHWH made them to rejoice, and turned around the heart of the king of Asshur to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
