Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.
2 Ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩkĩoneka kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki ya Ekibatana, bũrũri-inĩ wa Media. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ta ũũ: Ũhoro wa Kũririkanania:
And there was founde in a coffer (in the palace that was in the prouince of the Medes) a volume, and therein was it thus written, as a memoriall,
3 Mwaka wa mbere wa Mũthamaki Kurusu, mũthamaki nĩathanire ũhoro ũkoniĩ hekarũ ya Ngai kũu Jerusalemu, akiuga atĩrĩ: Hekarũ nĩyakwo rĩngĩ ĩrĩ handũ ha kũrutagĩrwo magongona, na mĩthingi yayo yakwo. Ĩkorwo ĩrĩ mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kwarama,
IN THE FIRST yeere of King Cyrus, King Cyrus made a decree for the house of God in Ierusalem, Let the house be buylt, euen the place where they offred sacrifices, and let the walles thereof be ioyned together: let the height thereof be three score cubites, and the breadth thereof three score cubites,
4 ĩkorwo ĩrĩ na mĩhari ĩtatũ ya mahiga manene, na ũmwe wa mbaũ. Thogora ũcio ũrĩhwo kuuma kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki.
Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.
5 Ningĩ indo cia thahabu na cia betha cia nyũmba ya Ngai iria Nebukadinezaru aakuuĩte kuuma hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Jerusalemu agĩcirehe Babuloni-rĩ, nĩicookio o kĩndũ harĩa kĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ kũu Jerusalemu; na mũciige thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai.
And also let them render the vessels of the house of God (of golde and siluer, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, which was in Ierusalem, and brought vnto Babel) and let him goe vnto the Temple that is in Ierusalem to his place, and put them in the house of God.
6 Na rĩrĩ, wee Tatenai barũthi wa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, hamwe na Shetharu-Bozenai, na inyuĩ, anene a thiritũ yao, mũtigathiĩ kuo.
Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.
7 Mũtikaingĩrĩre wĩra ũcio wa hekarũ ya Ngai. Barũthi wa Ayahudi na athuuri a Ayahudi nĩmarekwo maake rĩngĩ nyũmba ĩyo ya Ngai o harĩa yaakĩtwo.
Suffer ye the worke of this house of God, that the captaine of the Iewes and the Elders of the Iewes may buylde this house of God in his place.
8 O na ningĩ nĩndathana ũrĩa mũgwĩkĩra athuuri aya a Ayahudi magĩaka nyũmba ĩyo ya Ngai: Mahũthĩro mothe ma andũ acio nĩ marĩhwo kuuma kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki kĩa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, nĩgeetha wĩra ũyũ ndũkanarũgame.
For I haue giuen a commandement what ye shall doe to the Elders of these Iewes, for the buylding of this house of God, that of the reuenues of the King, which is of the tribute beyonde the Riuer, there be incontinently expenses giuen vnto these men that they cease not.
9 Kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩngĩendekana, tũtegwa, na ndũrũme, na tũtũrũme; cia kũrutwo maruta ma njino kũrĩ Ngai wa igũrũ, na ngano, na cumbĩ, na ndibei, na maguta, o ta ũrĩa ingĩĩtio nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai kũu Jerusalemu no nginya maheagwo o mũthenya itekwaga,
And that which they shall haue neede of, let it be giuen vnto them day by day, whether it be yong bullockes, or rammes, or lambes for the burnt offrings of the God of heauen, wheate, salt, wine, and oyle, according to the appoyntment of the Priestes that are in Ierusalem, that there bee no fault,
10 nĩgeetha marutage magongona ma gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Ngai wa igũrũ, na mahooyagĩre kũgaacĩra kwa mũthamaki na ariũ ake.
That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.
11 Ningĩ nĩndathana atĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩgarũra maandĩko macio, mũitĩrĩro ũkaarutwo nyũmba-inĩ yake na acooke oywo na igũrũ ohanĩtio naguo. Na nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia rĩu nyũmba yake ĩgaatuuo iganjo rĩa mahuti.
And I haue made a decree, that whosoeuer shall alter this sentence, the wood shall be pulled downe from his house, and shall be set vp, and he shalbe hanged thereon, and his house shalbe made a dunghill for this.
12 Ngai ũrĩa ũtũmĩte Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kũu aroeheria mũthamaki o wothe kana andũ arĩa mangĩgeria kũgarũra watho ũyũ kana kũharagania hekarũ ĩyo ĩrĩ Jerusalemu. Niĩ Dario nĩ niĩ ndaruta watho ũcio. Nĩwathĩkĩrwo na kĩyo.
And the God that hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy all Kings and people that put to their hand to alter, and to destroy this house of God, which is in Ierusalem. I Darius haue made a decree, let it be done with speede.
13 Ningĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa watho ũrĩa warutĩtwo nĩ Mũthamaki Dario, Tatenai barũthi wa Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, na Shetharu-Bozenai, marĩ na athiritũ ao nĩmathĩkĩire watho ũcio na kĩyo.
Then Tatnai the captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai and their companions, according to that which Darius had sent, so they did speedily.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri a Ayahudi magĩthiĩ o na mbere gwaka na kũgaacĩra makĩhunjagĩrio nĩ mũnabii Hagai, na Zekaria wa rũciaro rwa Ido. Makĩrĩkia gwaka hekarũ kũringana na rĩathani rĩa Ngai wa Isiraeli na watho wa Kurusu, na wa Dario, na wa Aritashashita, athamaki a Perisia.
So the Elders of the Iewes builded, and they prospered by the prophecying of Haggai the Prophet, and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo, and they buylded and finished it, by the appoyntment of the God of Israel, and by the commandement of Cyrus and Darius, and Artahshashte king of Persia.
15 Hekarũ ĩyo yarĩkire mũthenya wa gatatũ wa mweri wa Adari, mwaka wa gatandatũ wa gũthamaka kwa Mũthamaki Dario.
And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na andũ arĩa angĩ maatahĩtwo, magĩkũngũĩra kwamũrwo kwa nyũmba ya Ngai marĩ na gĩkeno.
And the children of Israel, the Priestes, and the Leuites, and the residue of the children of the captiuitie kept the dedication of this house of God with ioy,
17 Indo iria maarutire nĩ ũndũ wa kwamũrwo kwa nyũmba ya Ngai ciarĩ ndegwa igana rĩmwe, na ndũrũme magana meerĩ, na tũtũrũme magana mana, irĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria Isiraeli othe mehia mao, na thenge ikũmi na igĩrĩ, o ĩmwe kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli.
And offred at the dedication of this house of God an hundreth bullockes, two hundreth rams, foure hundreth lambes, and twelue goates, for the sinne of all Israel, according to the nomber of the tribes of Israel.
18 Nao magĩtoonyia athĩnjĩri-Ngai wĩra-inĩ kũringana na ikundi ciao, na Alawii kũringana na matuanĩra mao, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa gũtungatĩra Ngai kũu Jerusalemu o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Musa.
And they set the Priests in their order, and the Leuites in their courses ouer the seruice of God in Ierusalem, as it is written in the booke of Moses.
19 Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere, andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magĩkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka.
And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.
20 Athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii nĩmetheretie na othe maarĩ atheru. Alawii nĩo maathĩnjire gatũrũme ka Bathaka, nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa othe maatahĩtwo, na nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a ithe wao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na nĩ ũndũ wao ene.
(For the Priests and the Leuites were purified altogether) and they killed the Passeouer for all the children of the captiuitie, and for their brethren the Priests, and for themselues.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatahĩirwo makĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo, hamwe na arĩa othe meyamũranĩtie na mĩtugo ya thaahu ya ndũrĩrĩ iria mariganĩtie nacio nĩgeetha marongorie Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.
So the children of Israel which were come againe out of captiuitie, and all such as had separated themselues vnto them, from the filthines of the Heathen of the land, to seeke the Lord God of Israel, did eate,
22 Nĩmakũngũĩire Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia marĩ na gĩkeno ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, tondũ Jehova nĩamaiyũrĩtie gĩkeno nĩ ũndũ wa kũgarũra meciiria ma mũthamaki wa Ashuri, nake akĩmateithia wĩra-inĩ wa gwaka nyũmba ya Ngai, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli.
And they kept ye feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes with ioy: for the Lord had made them glad, and turned the heart of the King of Asshur vnto them, to incourage them in the worke of the house of God, euen the God of Israel.
