Ezra 1
1 In order to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
Pea ko eni, ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, pea koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, naʻe ueʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, pea naʻe fanongonongo ʻe ia ʻae fono ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea naʻe tohi ia foki, ʻo pehē,
2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, “Kuo tuku kiate au ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani: pea kuo fekau ʻe ia kiate au ke u langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta.
3 Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. May your God be with you.
Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi hono kakai kotoa pē? Ke ʻiate ia ʻa hono ʻOtua, pea ke ʻalu hake ia ki Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta, pea ke langa ʻae fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, (ko ia ia ko e ʻOtua, ) ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
4 Wherever survivors are currently living, let them be helped by the people that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, together with a voluntary donation for God's Temple in Jerusalem.’”
Pea mo ia fulipē ʻoku toe ʻi ha potu ʻaia ʻoku ʻāunofo ia ki ai, tuku ke tokoni ia ʻe he kau tangata ʻo hono potu ʻaki ʻae siliva, pea mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi koloa pea mo e fanga manu, ko hono fakalahi ia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku foaki loto lelei ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.”
5 Then God encouraged the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, as well as the priests and Levites to go and rebuild the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ai ʻae kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he mātuʻa ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau Livai, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakaakeake honau laumālie ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻalu hake ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
6 All their neighbors supported them with gifts of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with other valuable items, in addition to all their voluntary donations.
Pea naʻe fakamālohi honau nima ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nonofo fakataha mo kinautolu, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi koloa, mo e fanga manu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa pe.
7 King Cyrus also retrieved the items belonging to the Lord's Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his god.
Pea naʻe fetuku mai foki ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa mei Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tuku ia ʻi he fale ʻo hono ngaahi ʻotua;
8 Cyrus had Mithredath the treasurer retrieve them, who counted them and gave them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
ʻIo, naʻe ʻomi ia [kotoa pē ]ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia ʻi he nima ʻo Mitilitati ko e tauhi koloa, pea lau ia kia Sesipasa, ko e ʻeiki ʻo Siuta.
9 This was the list: 30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver silverware,
Pea ko hono lau eni: ko e ipu lafalafa koula ʻe tolungofulu, mo e ipu lafalafa siliva ʻe taha afe, mo e hele ʻe uofulu ma hiva,
10 30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other items.
Ko e ipu luoluo koula ʻe tolungofulu, mo e ipu luoluo siliva ʻoe anga ʻe taha ko e fāngeau mo e hongofulu, pea ko e ngaahi ipu kehe ʻe taha afe.
11 In total there were 5,400 gold and silver items. When the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem Sheshbazzar took all these along with them.
Ko e ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva kotoa pē ko e nima afe mo e nimangeau. Naʻe fetuku eni kotoa pē ʻe Sesipasa fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoe kau pōpula ʻaia naʻe ʻohake mei Papilone ki Selūsalema.
