This Esdras went up out of Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel gave: and the king gave him [leave], for the hand of the Lord his God was upon him in all things which he sought.

And [some] of the children of Israel went up, and [some] of the priests, and of the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, and the Nathinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Arthasastha the king.
8 Ezra chu Persia lengpa Artarxerxes leng chan kal kum sagi lhin kum lha nga nan, Jerusalem khopi ahung lhungtan ahi.
And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, this [was] the seventh year of the king.
9 Aman kumthah ni masa niahi Babylon adalhah ahin, lha nga lhin nin Jerusalem ahung lhungtan ahi, ajeh chu Pathen mikhotona khut chun apuijin ahi.
For in the first [day] of the first month he began the going up from Babylon, and in the first day of the fifth month, they came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was upon him.
10 Ezra hin ahinkho lhumkeiya Pakai daanthu chu asim in, amangchan chuleh Israel mipiho chun hiche daan thu hole chonchan thupeh ho jouse chu phatah a anit diu hi atup jing le ahil jing in ahi.

And this [is] the copy of the order which Arthasastha gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe of the book of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his ordinances to Israel.
12 Leng jouse lengpa Artaxerxes kitipa keiman Pathen daanthu hethem le lekha thempa Ezra henga kahin seijin kahin lemuve: -
Arthasastha, king of kings, to Esdras, the scribe of the law of the Lord God of heaven, Let the order and the answer be accomplished.
13 Kalenggam sung’a um Israel mipite leh thempuho chule Levite ho koi hijongleu chun Jerusalem langa nakile kit thei diuva kaphal peh nahi tauve.
A decree is made by me, that every one who is willing in my kingdom of the people of Israel, and of the priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem, [be permitted] to go with you.

And for the house of the Lord [there have been sent] silver and gold, which the king and the councillors have freely given to the God of Israel, who dwells in Jerusalem.
16 Chujongle nanghon Babylon gamma konna nadon doh’u sana le dangka chule Israel mipite leh thempuhon Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin na dinga atodoh hou puma nakipoh doh ahi.
And all the silver and gold, whatever you shall find in all the land of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people, and the priests that offer freely for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
17 Hichea kidongdoh ho chengsehi, nanghon bongchal, kelngoichal, kelngoi chuleh hange mim chohna namanchah diu hichengse chu Jerusalem’a Pathen Houin maicham’a nato doh diu ahi.
And as for every one that arrives [there], speedily order him by this letter [to bring] calves, rams, lambs, and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings; and you shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.

and from me, whatever it shall seem [good] to you to give. I king Arthasastha have made a decree for all the treasuries that are in the [country] beyond the river, that whatever Esdras the priest and scribe of the God of heaven may ask you, it shall be done speedily,

Let whatever is in the decree of the God of heaven, be done: take heed lest any one make an attack on the house of the God of heaven, lest at any time there shall be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons.
24 Hiche to kimat a keiman kathupeh nom kit khat chu ahile, thempu, Levi, Lasa apang ho, Kelkot ngah ho, Houinna lhacha a pang ho chuleh Pathen Houin a natong dangho chu kai jatchom chomho apeh loudiu ahi.
Also this has been declared to you, with respect to all the priests, and Levites, the singers, porters, Nathinim and ministers of the house of God, let no tribute be [paid] to you; you shall not have power to oppress them.
25 Chuleh Ezra nangmahi na Pathen in napeh nachihna chu naman chah a Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkai sunga um mipiho chunga vaihom ding Pathen daanthu hethemho thutan vaihom ding a napansah ding ahi.
And you, Esdras, as the wisdom of God [is] in your hand, appoint scribes and judges, that they may judge for all the people beyond the river, all that know the law of the Lord your God; and you shall make it known to him that knows not.
26 Koi hileh Pathen daanthu nitlou leh lengpa daanthu juilou hochu gangtah a athu kitanna, kithat ding, ahilouleh kinodoh ding, ahilou jongleh anei agou kilahpeh ding ahilouleh songkul’a kikhum ding ahi,” ati.
And whoever shall not do the law of God, and the law of the king readily, judgement shall be taken upon him, whether for death or for chastisement, or for a fine of his property, or casting into prison.
27 Hichun Ezra in jong, “Ipu ipateo Pathen chu thangvah in umhen ajeh chu aman lengpa amangchan Jerusalem’a Pakai houin asemhoi tan ahi!
Blessed [be] the Lord God of our fathers, who has put it thus into the heart of the king, to glorify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem;
28 Amachu thangvah in umhen ajeh chu alungsetna tanglou vin eimusah in, lengpa leh amilen amilal ho masanga eidom sangin hijeh chun keima tilkhouvin kaumin chuleh ka Pathen leh ka Pakai khotona khutchu kachunga aum jingin ahi. Hiti chun keiman Israel mite lamkai hochu kakou khommin Jerusalem lang’ah kakile taovin ahi.” ati.
and has given me favour in the eyes of the king, and of his councillors, and all the rulers of the king, the exalted ones. And I was strengthened according to the good hand of God upon me, and I gathered chief men of Israel to go up with me.
