Ezra 5
1 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem. They prophesied to them in the name of the God of Israel.
Kalpasanna, nagipadto babaen iti nagan ti Dios ti Israel da Haggeo a profeta ken Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Iddo a profeta kadagiti Judio idiay Juda ken Jerusalem.
2 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
Nagsagana ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken ni Jesua a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ket rinugianda a bangonen ti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem, a kaduada dagiti profeta a nangpabileg kadakuada.
3 At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, came to them, with Shetharbozenai and their companions, and asked them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
Kalpasanna, immay ni Tatnai a gobernador ti Probinsia iti Ballasiw ti Karayan, ni Setar Bozenai ken dagiti kakaduada, ket kinunada kadakuada, “Siasino ti nangibilin kadakayo a bangonen daytoy a balay ken leppasen dagitoy a pader?”
4 They also asked for the names of the men who were making this building.
Kinunada pay, “Ania ti nagnagan dagiti lallaki a mangibangbangon iti daytoy a balay?”
5 But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
Ngem ti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti panglakayen a Judio, ket saan ida a napasardeng dagiti kabusorda. Ur-urayenda ti maipatulod a surat iti ari ken tapno maipasubli ti maysa a bilin maipapan iti daytoy.
6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king follows.
Daytoy ti surat da Tatnai, Setar Bozenai, ken dagiti kakaduada nga opisiales para kenni Dario nga ari.
7 They sent a letter to him, in which was written: To Darius the king, all peace.
Nangipatulodda iti pakaammo, kastoy ti insuratda para kenni Ari Dario. “Kapia koma ti adda kenka.
8 Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones and timber is laid in the walls. This work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.
Maipakaammo iti ari a napan kami idiay Juda, iti balay ti naindaklan a Dios. Madama a maibangbangon daytoy babaen kadagiti dadakkel a batbato ken nakabilan iti kaykayo dagiti pader. Naan-anay ti pannakaaramid daytoy ket adu ti malmalpas dagiti imada.
9 Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, “Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”
Dinamagmi kadagiti panglakayenda, 'Siasino ti nangibilin kadakayo a bangonen daytoy a balay ken dagitoy a pader?'
10 We asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
Dinamagmi pay dagiti nagnaganda tapno maamoam no ania ti nagan ti tunggal maysa a nangidaulo kadakuada.
11 Thus they returned us answer, saying, “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
Simmungbatda ket kinunada, 'Adipennakami ti Dios ti langit ken daga, ket bangbangonenmi manen daytoy a balay a siguden a naibangon, adun a tawen ti naglabas idi imbangon ken inleppas daytoy ti natan-ok nga ari ti Israel.
12 But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.
Ngem idi pinagpungtot dagiti kapuonanmi ti Dios ti langit, inyawat ida ti Dios iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia a nangdadael iti daytoy a balay ken nangitalaw kadagiti tattao a kas balud nga impanna idiay Babilonia.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Nupay kasta, iti umuna a tawen a panagturay ni Cyrus a kas ari ti Babilonia, nangipaulog ni Cyrus iti maysa a bilin tapno maibangon manen ti balay ti Dios.
14 The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.
Insubli pay ni Ari Cyrus dagiti balitok ken pirak nga alikamen iti balay ti Dios nga innala ni Ari Nebucadnesar manipud idiay templo ti Jerusalem nga impanna iti templo idiay Babilonia. Insublina dagitoy kenni Sesbasar a pinagbalinna a gobernador.
15 He said to him, ‘Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house be built in its place.’
Kinunana kenkuana, “Alaem dagitoy nga alikamen. Ikabilmo dagitoy iti templo idiay Jerusalem. Bay-am a maibangon manen ti balay ti Dios sadiay.
16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet it is not completed.
Kalpasanna, immay daytoy a Sesbasar ket insaadna ti pundasion para iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem; ket madama a maipatpatakder daytoy ngem saanpay a naileppas.'
17 Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”
Ita, no nasayaat para iti ari, masukimat koma daytoy iti balay a nakaidulinan dagiti libro idiay Babilonia no adda sadiay ti bilin a nagtaud kenni Ari Cyrus a maibangon manen daytoy a balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem. Kalpasanna, mabalin nga ipatulod ti ari ti pangngeddengna kadakami.
