Ezra 6
1 Nígbà náà ni ọba Dariusi pàṣẹ, wọ́n sì wá inú ilé ìfí nǹkan pamọ́ sí ní ilé ìṣúra ní Babeli.
Then Daryavesh the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up 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.
There was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll, and there was written in it as follows: "Memorandum:
3 Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní ìjọba ọba Kirusi, ọba pa àṣẹ kan nípa tẹmpili Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu. Jẹ́ kí a tún tẹmpili ibi tí a ti ń rú onírúurú ẹbọ kọ́, kí a fi ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ ni gíga àti fífẹ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ àádọ́rùn-ún ẹsẹ̀ bàtà,
In the first year of Koresh the king, Koresh the king made a decree: Concerning God's house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid; its height one hundred three feet and four inches; and its breadth one hundred three feet and four inches;
4 pẹ̀lú ipele òkúta ńlá ńlá mẹ́ta ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ àti ipele pákó kan, kí a san owó rẹ̀ láti inú ilé ìṣúra ọba.
with three layers of great stones, and one layer of timber. And let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
5 Sì jẹ́ kí wúrà àti àwọn ohun èlò fàdákà ti ilé Ọlọ́run, tí Nebukadnessari kó láti ilé Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu tí ó sì kó lọ sí Babeli, di dídápadà sí ààyè wọn nínú tẹmpili ní Jerusalẹmu; kí a kó wọn sí inú ilé Ọlọ́run.
Also let the gold and silver vessels of God's house, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everyone to its place; and you shall put them in God's house.
6 Nítorí náà, kí ìwọ, Tatenai baálẹ̀ agbègbè Eufurate àti Ṣetar-bosnai àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ yín, àwọn ìjòyè ti agbègbè náà kúrò níbẹ̀.
Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
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.
Leave 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 Síwájú sí i, mo pàṣẹ ohun tí ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe fún àwọn àgbàgbà Júù wọ̀nyí lórí kíkọ́ ilé Ọlọ́run yìí. Gbogbo ìnáwó àwọn ọkùnrin yìí ni kí ẹ san lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́ lára ìṣúra ti ọba, láti ibi àkójọpọ̀ owó ìlú ti agbègbè Eufurate kí iṣẹ́ náà má bà dúró.
Moreover I make a decree what you shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they be not hindered.
9 Ohunkóhun tí wọ́n bá fẹ́—àwọn ọ̀dọ́ akọ màlúù, àwọn àgbò, ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn fún ẹbọ sísun sí Ọlọ́run ọ̀run, àti jéró, iyọ̀, wáìnì àti òróró, bí àwọn àlùfáà ní Jerusalẹmu ti béèrè ni ẹ gbọdọ̀ fún wọn lójoojúmọ́ láìyẹ̀.
That which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given 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 may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
11 Síwájú sí i, mo pàṣẹ pé tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá yí àṣẹ yìí padà, kí fa igi àjà ilé rẹ̀ yọ jáde, kí a sì gbe dúró, kí a sì fi òun náà kọ́ sí orí rẹ̀ kí ó wo ilé rẹ̀ palẹ̀ a ó sì sọ ọ́ di ààtàn.
Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; 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 the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Daryavesh have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
13 Nígbà náà, nítorí àṣẹ tí ọba Dariusi pa, Tatenai, baálẹ̀ ti agbègbè Eufurate, àti Ṣetar-bosnai pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ wọn pa á mọ́ láìyí ọ̀kan padà.
Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions, because Daryavesh the king had sent a decree, did accordingly with all diligence.
14 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n sì ń gbèrú sí i lábẹ́ ìwàásù wòlíì Hagai àti wòlíì Sekariah, ìran Iddo. Wọ́n parí kíkọ́ ilé Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ tí Ọlọ́run Israẹli àti àwọn àṣẹ Kirusi, Dariusi àti Artasasta àwọn ọba Persia pọ̀.
The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Koresh, and Daryavesh, and Artachshasta 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.
This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Daryavesh the king.
16 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli—àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn Lefi àti àwọn ìgbèkùn tí ó padà, ṣe ayẹyẹ yíya ilé Ọlọ́run sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú ayọ̀.
The children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the people from the exile, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 Fún yíya ilé Ọlọ́run yìí sí mímọ́, wọ́n pa ọgọ́rùn-ún akọ màlúù, igba àgbò àti irinwó akọ ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún gbogbo Israẹli, àgbò méjìlá, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fún olúkúlùkù àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, 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.
They set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá ti oṣù Nisani, àwọn tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn ṣe ayẹyẹ àjọ ìrékọjá.
The people from the exile kept the Passover on the fourteenth day 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 had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the Passover lamb for all the people from the exile, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
21 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó ti dé láti ìgbèkùn jẹ ẹ́ lápapọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti ya ara wọn kúrò nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ àìmọ́ ti àwọn kèfèrí aládùúgbò wọn láti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
The children of Israel who had come again out of the 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, ate,
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 kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Jehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God's house, the God of Israel.
