< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
A LAILA kauoha ae la o Dariu ke alii, imihia ma ka hale o na palapala, kahi i waiho ai na waiwai ilaila ma Babulona.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
A loaa iho la, ma Akemeta, ma ka halealii, o ko Media, he palapala, a peneia ka olelo i kakauia'i maloko.
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
I ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii, kauoha ae la o ua Kuro la ke alii no ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema, E hauaia ka hale, kahi i kaumaha aku ai i na mohai, a e hoonohopaaia ke kumu; he kanaono hailima ke kiekie, a he kanaono hailima ka laula;
4 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
Pakolu na papapohaku kalai, a e pakahi hoi ka papa laau hou; a e haawiia ka waiwai mai ka hale o ke alii mai:
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.
A o na kiaha gula hoi a me ke kala o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae mai ka luakini mai ma Ierusalema, a hali mai i Babulona, e hoihoiia'ku, a e haliia aku i ka luakini ma Ierusalema, o kela keia ma kona wahi iho, a e waiho ma ka hale o ke Akua.
6 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be all of you far from thence:
Ano hoi, e Tatenai, ke kiaaina ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, a me Setare bozenai, a me ko laua poe hoalawehana, ka poe Aparesaka, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, e hookaawaleia oukou mai ia wahi aku.
7 Let 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 his place.
E waiho malie oukou i ka hana o keia hale o ke Akua; a o ke alii kiaaina o na Iudaio, a me ka poe kahiko o na Iudaio, e hana lakou i keia hale o ke Akua ma kona wahi.
8 Moreover I make a decree what all of you shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Eia hoi ka'u o kauoha aku nei i ka mea a oukou e hana aku ai i na lunakahiko o keia poe Iudaio, no ka hana ana i keia hale o ke Akua: noloko mai o ka waiwai o ke alii, oia ka hookupu ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, e haawi koke ia'ku ka waiwai no keia poe kanaka, i keakea ole ia'i lakou.
9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
A o na mea e pono ai lakou, o na keikibipikane, a o na hipakane, a me na keikihipa, no na mohaikuni na ke Akua o ka lani, o ka palaoa, ka paakai, o ka waina, a me ka aila, e like me ke kauoha a na kahuna ma Ierusalema, e haawiia'ku ia na lakou i kela la keia la, aole ka ole:
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
I kaumaha aku ai lakou i na mea ala i ke Akua o ka lani, a i pule aku hoi no ke ola o ke alii, a no kana mau keiki.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
A ke kauoha aku nei no hoi au, o kela kanaka keia kanaka e hoololi i keia olelo, e laweia ka laau mai kona hale mai, a kukuluia, e kaaweia oia maluna o ia mea, a e hooliloia kona hale i puu lepo no keia mea.
12 And the God that has caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
A o ke Akua, nana i waiho kona inoa malaila, e luku aku ia i na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka, ke o aku ko lakou lima e hoololi, a e wawahi i keia hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema. Owau, o Dariu ka i kauoha aku; e hana koke ia hoi oia.
13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Alaila o Tatenai, ke kiaaina ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, e Setare-bozenai, a me ko laua hoalawehana, e like me ka mea a ke alii i hoouna mai ai, pela lakou i hana koke aku ai.
14 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
A hana aku la na luna kahiko o na Iudaio, a ua pomaikai lakou ma ka wanana a Hagai ke kaula, a me Zakaria ke keiki a Ido. A hana lakou, a hoopaa hoi, e like me ke kauoha a ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a like hoi me ke kauoha a Kuro, a me Dariu, a me Aretasaseta, ke alii o Peresia.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
A ua hoopaaia keia hale i ke kolu o ka la o ka malama Adara, oia ke oao o ka makahiki a Dariu ke alii i noho alii ai.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
A o na mamo a Iseraela, na kahuna, a me na Levi, a me na mea i koe o ka poe i pio, hoolaa aku la lakou i keia hale o ke Akua me ka olioli.
17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
A kaumaha aku la no ka hoolaa ana i keia hale o ke Akua, i hookahi haneri bipikane, i elua haneri hipakane, a i eha haneri keikihipa; a i umikumamalua na kaokane i mohaihala no ka Iseraela a pau, e like me na ohana o ka Iseraela.
18 And 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.
A hoonoho iho la lakou i na kahuna ma ko lakou mau papa, a me na Levi ma ko lakou mau papa, no ka oihana o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; e like me ko kauoha ma ka buke a Mose.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
A malama aku la ka poe i pio i ka moliaola, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama mua.
20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
No ka mea, ua huikala pu ia na kahuna, a me na Levi, a ua maemae lakou a pau, a kalua aku la lakou i ka moliaola, no ka poe i pio a pau, a no ko lakou poe hoahanau na kahuna, a no lakou iho.
21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
A ai iho la na mamo a Iseraela, ka poe i hoi mai, mai ke pio ana mai, a me ka poe a pau i hookaawale ia lakou iho mai ka mea haumia o na lahuikanaka o ka aina, e imi ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela;
22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
A malama lakou i ka ahaaina berena hu ole i na la ehiku me ka olioli: no ka mea, o Iehova ka i hoohauoli mai ia lakou, a hoohuli mai i ka naau o ke alii o Asuria ia lakou, e hooikaika i ko lakou lima i ka hana ana i ka hale o ke Akua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
