Ezra 5
1 Then Haggai a Prophet and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo a Prophet prophecied vnto the Iewes that were in Iudah, and Ierusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, euen vnto them.
Koro Hagai janabi kod Zekaria janabi, nyakwar Ido, nokorone jo-Yahudi e Juda gi Jerusalem e nying Nyasach Israel, mane nitiere kuomgi.
2 Then Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak arose, and began to builde the house of God at Ierusalem, and with them were the Prophetes of God, which helped them.
Eka Zerubabel wuod Shealtiel kod Jeshua wuod Jozadak nowuok mondo oti tij gedo mar od Nyasaye e Jerusalem. Kendo jonabi mag Nyasaye ne ni kodgi, kakonyogi.
3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, which was captaine beyonde the Riuer, and Shether-boznai and their companions, and sayd thus vnto them, Who hath giuen you commandement to buylde this house, and to lay the foundations of these walles?
E kindeno Tatenai, ruodh Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai gi joma gitiyogo kanyakla nodhi irgi kendo openjo niya, “En ngʼa mane omiyou thuolo mar gero hekaluni kendo loso iye?”
4 Then sayde we vnto them after this maner, What are the names of the men that buylde this buylding?
Gin bende negipenjo niya, “Joma gero odni nying-gi ngʼa?”
5 But the eye of their God was vpon the Elders of the Iewes, that they coulde not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they answered by letters thereunto.
To Nyasaye ne ni kod jodong jo-Yahudi, omiyo ne ok ochung-gi mondo giwe tich ka pod irito dwoko ma ruoth Darius ondiko gi lwete.
6 The copie of the letter, that Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shether-boznai and his companions, Apharsechaie, (which were beyond the Riuer) sent vnto King Darius.
Ma e baruwa machal gi mane Tatenai, ruodh Yufrate, kod Shetha-Bozenai gi joma negitiyogo kanyakla, kod jotend Yufrate, noorone Ruoth Darius.
7 They sent a letter vnto him, wherein it was written thus, VNTO DARIVS the king, all peace.
Wach mane giorone ne chalo kama: Ne Ruoth Darius: Wamosi ahinya.
8 Be it knowen vnto the King, that we went into the prouince of Iudea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and beames are layde in the walles, and this worke is wrought speedily, and prospereth in their hands.
Ruoth onego ngʼe nine wadhi e gwengʼ mar Juda, e hekalu mar Nyasaye maduongʼ. Ji gedo gi kite madongo kendo giketo bepe e kore. Tich tiyore e yo modimbore kendo odhi nyime mapiyo e bwo telo margi.
9 Then asked we those Elders, and sayd vnto them thus, Who hath giuen you commandement to buylde this house, and to lay the foundation of these walles?
Ne wamiyo jodongo penjo ka wapenjogi niya, “En ngʼa momiyou thuolo mar gero hekaluni kendo loso iye?”
10 We asked their names also, that we might certifie thee, and that we might write the names of the men that were their rulers.
Bende ne wapenjogi nying-gi, mondo omi wandik nying jotendgi ne in.
11 But they answered vs thus, and sayd, We are the seruants of the God of heauen and earth, and buylde the house that was buylt of olde and many yeeres ago, which a great King of Israel builded, and founded it.
Ma e dwoko mane gimiyowa: Wan jotich mar Nyasach polo kod piny, kendo wagero hekalu manyien mane oger higni mangʼeny mokalo, mano mane ruoth maduongʼ mar Israel ogero kendo otieko.
12 But after that our fathers had prouoked the God of heauen vnto wrath, he gaue them ouer into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel the Caldean, and he destroyed this house, and caryed the people away captiue vnto Babel.
To nikech wuonewa nowangʼo ii Nyasach Polo, nochiwogi ne Nebukadneza ja-Kaldea, ruodh Babulon, ma nomuko hekaluni kendo oriembo ji nyaka Babulon.
13 But in the first yere of Cyrus King of Babel, King Cyrus made a decree to buylde this house of God.
Kata kamano, e higa mokwongo mar Sairas ruodh Babulon, Ruoth Sairas nochiwo chik mondo odni mar Nyasaye oger manyien.
14 And the vessels of golde and siluer of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, that was in Ierusalem, and brought them into the Temple of Babel, those did Cyrus the king take out of the Temple of Babel, and they gaue them vnto one Sheshbazzar by his name, whome he had made captaine.
Bende nogolo koa e hekalu mar Babulon gige dhahabu gi fedha mar od Nyasaye, gigo mane Nebukadneza okawo koa e hekalu man Jerusalem kendo okelo e hekalu man Babulon. Bangʼe Ruoth Sairas nomiyogi ngʼat ma nyinge Sheshbaza, mane osewalo jatelo,
15 And he sayde vnto him, Take these vessels and goe thy way, and put them in the Temple that is in Ierusalem, and let the house of God be buylt in his place.
kendo onyise niya, “Kaw gigi kendo idhi mi ikan-gi e hekalu man Jerusalem. Kendo iger manyien od Nyasaye e kare machon.”
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar and layde the foundation of the house of God, which is in Ierusalem, and since that time euen vntill nowe, hath it bene in buylding, yet is it not finished.
Omiyo ngʼatni miluongo ni Sheshbaza nobiro mi oketo mise mar od Nyasaye e Jerusalem. Kochakore e odiechiengno nyaka sani pod igere to pod ok otieke.
17 Nowe therefore if it please the King, let there be searche made in the house of the Kings treasures, which is there in Babel, whether a decree hath bene made by King Cyrus, to build this house of God in Ierusalem, and let the King send his minde concerning this.
Omiyo koro ka berne ruoth, to mondo nonro otim e kar keno mag gik machon mar Babulon mondo ne ka Ruoth Sairas nochiwo chik mondo oger manyien od Nyasaye e Jerusalem. Eka ruoth mondo oornwa kaka ongʼado wachni.
