Ezra 6

1 Ouinge Tokosra Fulat Darius el sapkin in sukok in ma simla ke sramsram matu su karinginyuk in acn Babylon.

Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.

2 Tusruk, koneyukyak sie limlim in ma simusla in siti Ecbatana in acn Media, ma fahk ouinge:

A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:

3 “In yac se meet ke Tokosra Cyrus el mutawauk in Tokosra Fulat, el sapkin tuh Tempul Jerusalem in sifil musaiyuk tuh in sie acn mwet uh ku in sang mwe sang lalos ac kisakin mwe kisa lalos we. Tempul sac in fit eungoul fulata ac fit eungoul sralupa.

In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus 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, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;

4 Musaiyen sinka uh in ouinge: fwilin sak se in oan fin fwilin eot tolu nukewa. Molin ma nukewa ac fah akfalyeyuk ke nien mani lun tokosra.

with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.

5 Oayapa ahlu gold ac silver nukewa ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh use nu Babylon liki Tempul Jerusalem ac folokinyukla nu yen fal in oan we in Tempul Jerusalem.”

Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.

6 Na Tokosra Fulat Darius el supwala topuk lal ouinge: “Nu sum, Tattenai, governor lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, ac Shethar Bozenai ac mwet pwapa wiowos in acn Roto-in-Euphrates. “Kowos tuyak liki Tempul sacn

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 ac nimet lusrong orekma kac an. Fuhlela governor lun Judah ac mwet kol lun mwet Jew in sifil musai Tempul lun God in acn na ma oan we meet ah.

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 Inge, nga sapkin nu suwos tuh kowos in kasrelos sifil musaela. Molin ma ac orekmakinyuk an in sa na molla, ac in tuku ke mani lun tokosra, su ac itukla ke tax lun Roto-in-Euphrates, tuh orekma sacn in tia lusrongyukla.

Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for 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 must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.

9 Len nu len kowos in aklohya in sang nu sin mwet tol in Jerusalem kutena ma elos fahk mu elos enenu: oana cow mukul fusr, ku sheep, ku sheep fusr mwe orek kisa firir nu sin God lun Kusrao, ku flao, sohl, wain ku oil in olive.

That which they have need of, including young bulls, 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 Ma inge in orek tuh elos in ku in sang mwe kisa ma fal nu sin God lun Kusrao, ac elos in pre tuh Elan akinsewowoyeyu oayapa wen nutik.

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 Nga tafwela pac sap soko inge tuh kutena mwet fin seakos ma nga sapkin, na in fifyak soko sak maspang lulap liki lohm sel, ac tetela sie muta, ac sang fakisya sasla manol. Na lohm sel fah orek oana sie yol in kutkut.

I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

12 Lela God su sulela tuh Jerusalem in acn se mwet uh in alu nu sel we uh, Elan sisla kutena tokosra ku mutanfahl su sikul ma sap se inge ac srike in kunausla Tempul sac. Nga, Darius, pa sapkin in ouinge. Ma sap luk fah arulana akosyuk.”

May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.

13 Na Governor Tattenai, Shethar Bozenai, ac mwet fulat wialos elos oru ma nukewa oana tokosra fulat el sapkin.

Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.

14 Mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos oru tuh orekma in musa ke Tempul in fahla arulana wo, ac mwet palu Haggai ac Zechariah eltal akkeyalos. Elos aksafyela Tempul fal nu ke ma God lun Israel El sapkin, ac oayapa ma sap sin tokosra fulat tolu lun Persia: Cyrus, Darius, ac Artaxerxes.

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 Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

15 Elos aksafyela Tempul ke len se aktolu in malem Adar, ke yac se akonkosr wacl Tokosra Fulat Darius.

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.

16 Na mwet tol, mwet Levi, ac mwet Israel nukewa su folok liki sruoh, elos kisaela Tempul ke engan na lulap.

The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.

17 Elos kisakin cow mukul siofok, sheep luofoko, ac sheep fusr angfoko, na elos sang nani singoul luo tuh in mwe kisa ke ma koluk, kais soko nu ke sruf lun Israel.

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 Elos oayapa oakiya orekma kunen mwet tol ac mwet Levi nu ke Tempul in Jerusalem, fal nu ke ma simusla in book lal Moses.

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 Ke len se aksingoul akosr in malem se meet in yac tok ah, mwet su foloko liki sruoh elos akfulatye Kufwen Alukela.

The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

20 Mwet tol ac mwet Levi nukewa elos aknasnasyalos sifacna tuh elos in nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu lalos. Mwet Levi elos uniya kosro tuh in mwe kisa ke Kufwen Alukela ke mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh, ac ke mwet tol, ac kaclos sifacna.

Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.

21 Mwet Israel nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos mongo ke ma kisakinyukla. Oayapa mwet nukewa su sisla moul pegan lun mwet saya su muta in facl sac ac forla in wi pac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel, elos wi pac mongo kac.

The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, ate,

22 Ke len itkosr, elos engan ac akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol. Arulana yohk engan lalos ke sripen LEUM GOD El oru tuh Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria elan kulang nu selos, ac kasrelos ke orekma lalos in sifil musai Tempul lun God lun Israel.

and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because the LORD 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, the God of Israel’s house.
