Ezra 5
1 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
A LAILA o na kaula, o Hagai ke kaula, a o Zokaria ke keiki a Ido, wanana aku la laua i na Iudaio ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, ma ka inoa o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia lakou.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
Ia manawa ku ae la o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a me Iesua, ke keiki a Iozadaka, a hoomaka aku e hana i ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a me laua pu na kaula o ke Akua e kokua ana ia laua.
3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who has commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
A ia wa hoi, hele mai io lakou la o Tatenai, ke kiaaina o keia aoao o ka muliwai, a me Setare-bozenai, a me ko laua mau hoalawehana, a olelo mai ia lakou peneia, Nawni oukou i kauoha mai e hana i keia hale, a e hoopaa hoi i keia papohaku.
4 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?
Alaila ninau aku hoi makou ia lakou peneia, Owai ka inoa o na kanaka, nana e hana keia hale?
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
Aka, o ka maka o ko lakou Akua, aia no ia maluna o ka poe lunakahiko o na Iudaio, aole lakou i hiki ke hooki aku ia lakou, a hiki ia mea io Dariu la; alaila hoouna aku la lakou i ka palapala no keia mea.
6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
Eia ka palapala a Tatenai, ke kiaaina o keia aoao o ka muliwai, a o Setare-bozenai, a me kona poe hoalawehana, ka poe Aparesaka, ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, i hoouna aku ai ia Dariu ke alii:
7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.
Hoouna aku la lakou i ka palapala ia ia, peneia i kakauia'i maloko, Na Dariu ke alii, e aloha nui ia oia.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goes fast on, and prospers in their hands.
E hoikeia i ke alii, i hele ai makou i ka aina o ka Iuda i ka hale o ke Akua nui, ka mea i hanaia i ka pohaku i kalaiia a me ka laau i hoonohoia maloko o na papohaku, a ke hana wikiwiki ia keia hana, a e ko ana ia iloko o ko lakou lima.
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?
Alaila ninau aku la makou i kela poe lunakahiko, a i aku la ia lakou, Nawai oukou i kauoha mai e hana i keia hale, a e hoopaa hoi i keia mau papohaku?
10 We asked their names also, to certify you, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
Ninau aku hoi makou i ko lakou inoa, i hoike aku ai makou ia oe, a i kakau iho ai hoi i ka inoa o na kanaka, ka poe luna hoi o lakou.
11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and set up.
A hai mai lakou i ka olelo ia makou peneia, i mai la, He poe kauwa makou na ke Akua o ka lani, a o ka honua, a ke hana nei i ka hale, i ka mea i hanaia i na makahiki mamua loa aku, a kekahi alii nui o ka Iseraela i hana, a hoopaa aku ia.
12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Aka, mahope o ka hoonaukiuki ana o ko makou poe makua i ke Akua o ka lani, haawi oia ia lakou iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, no Kaledea, nana i wawahi keia hale, a lawe pio aku la i na kanaka i Babulona.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
Aka, i ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii o Babulona, kauoha aku la o Kuro ke alii, e hana i ka hale o ke Akua.
14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
A o na kiaha gula, a me ke kala o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae marloko mai o ka luakini ma Ierusalema, a hali aku ia mau mea i ka luakini ma Babulona, oia mau mea ka Kuro ke alii i lawe ni mailoko mai o ka luakini ma Babulona, a ua haawiia oia mau mea i kekahi, o Sesehazara kona inoa, ka mea ana i hoonoho ai i kiaaina;
15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in his place.
I aku la ia ia, E lawe i keia mau kiaha, e hele e hali aku ia mau mea i ka luakini ma Ierusalema, a e hanaia ka hale o ke Akua ma kona wahi.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now has it been in building, and yet it is not finished.
Alaila hele mai o ua Sesebazara la, a hoouoho i ke kahua o ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema: a mai ia manawa a keia wa ka hana ana, aole nae i paa.
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
Ano hoi, ina he mea pono i ke alii, e imihia ma ka hale waihonawaiwai o ke alii ma Babulona, ina he oiaio, ua kauohaia e Kuro e hana i keia hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a e hoouna mai ke alii i kona manao no keia mea.
