1 Then King Darius gaue commandement, and they made search in the librarie of the treasures, which were there layd vp in Babel.
Ya mere, Daraiọs nyere iwu ka a chọpụta nʼụlọ a na-echebe akwụkwọ ochie nke ndị Babilọn ma ọ dị akwụkwọ ọbụla dị otu ahụ.
2 And there was founde in a coffer (in the palace that was in the prouince of the Medes) a volume, and therein was it thus written, as a memoriall,
Emesịa, a chọpụtara otu akwụkwọ nʼụlọeze dị na Ekbatana nʼala Midia. Nke a bụ ihe e dere nʼime akwụkwọ ahụ: Akwụkwọ ozi eze;
3 IN THE FIRST yeere of King Cyrus, King Cyrus made a decree for the house of God in Ierusalem, Let the house be buylt, euen the place where they offred sacrifices, and let the walles thereof be ioyned together: let the height thereof be three score cubites, and the breadth thereof three score cubites,
Nʼafọ mbụ nke Sairọs bụ eze, o nyere iwu banyere ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke dị na Jerusalem ebe ndị Juu na-efe Chineke. A ga-ewughachi ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ebe ịchụ aja, ka a tọsiekwa ntọala ya ike. Ịdị elu ya ga-adị iri mita atọ, obosara ya ga-abụkwa otu ihe ahụ.
4 Three orders of great stones, and one order of timber, and let the expenses be giuen of the Kings house.
Ahịrị atọ nke oke nkume ka a ga-eji tọọ ntọala ya, tinyere otu ahịrị osisi. A ga-esi nʼụlọakụ eze Sairọs kwụọ ụgwọ ihe ndị a niile.
5 And also let them render the vessels of the house of God (of golde and siluer, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, which was in Ierusalem, and brought vnto Babel) and let him goe vnto the Temple that is in Ierusalem to his place, and put them in the house of God.
Ọzọkwa, a ga-ebughachikwa ngwongwo ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile nke ụlọ Chineke, ndị Nebukadneza sitere nʼụlọnsọ ahụ dị nʼJerusalem buru gaa Babilọn, doghachikwa ha nʼụlọ Chineke.
6 Therefore Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai, (and their companions Apharsecaie, which are beyonde the Riuer) be ye farre from thence.
Mgbe a gụsịrị ya, Daraiọs zighachiri Tatenai onye na-achị Yufretis, na Sheta Bozenai, na ndịisi ọzọ nọ nʼọdịda anyanwụ Yufretis ozi sị ha, Unu hapụ ha ka ha rụọ ọrụ ha.
7 Suffer ye the worke of this house of God, that the captaine of the Iewes and the Elders of the Iewes may buylde this house of God in his place.
Unu egbochila owuwu ụlọ Chineke ahụ. Kwerenụ ka onyeisi ndị Juu na ndị okenye Juu wughachi ụlọ Chineke a nʼebe e wuru ya na mbụ.
8 For I haue giuen a commandement what ye shall doe to the Elders of these Iewes, for the buylding of this house of God, that of the reuenues of the King, which is of the tribute beyonde the Riuer, there be incontinently expenses giuen vnto these men that they cease not.
Ọzọ, ana m enye iwu na nke a bụ ihe unu na-aghaghị imere ndị okenye, na ndị Juu niile na-ewugharị ụlọnsọ Chineke ahụ. Ka unu site nʼụtụ isi a na-atụrụ m kwụọ ụgwọ e ji ewu ụlọ ahụ na-atụfughị oge ọbụla.
9 And that which they shall haue neede of, let it be giuen vnto them day by day, whether it be yong bullockes, or rammes, or lambes for the burnt offrings of the God of heauen, wheate, salt, wine, and oyle, according to the appoyntment of the Priestes that are in Ierusalem, that there bee no fault,
Unu nye ha ihe ọbụla dịkwa ha mkpa, ụmụ oke ehi na ebule, ụmụ atụrụ, ha ga-eji chụọrọ Chineke nke eluigwe aja. Nyekwanụ ha ọka wiiti, na mmanya, na nnu, na mmanụ oliv, dịka ndị nchụaja rịọrọ, bụ ndị nọ na Jerusalem, aghaghị inye ha ihe ndị a kwa ụbọchị niile na-esepụghị aka.
10 That they may haue to offer sweete odours vnto the God of heauen, and praye for the Kings life, and for his sonnes.
Ka ha nwee ike ịchụ ezi aja nye Chineke nke eluigwe, kpeekwaara mụ na ụmụ m ekpere.
11 And I haue made a decree, that whosoeuer shall alter this sentence, the wood shall be pulled downe from his house, and shall be set vp, and he shalbe hanged thereon, and his house shalbe made a dunghill for this.
Ana m enye iwu na onye ọbụla ga-agbanwe okwu a, ka ehopụta osisi nʼụlọ ya jiri kwụgbuo ya. A ga-emekwa ụlọ ya ka ọ bụrụ ebe ikpofu ahịhịa.
12 And the God that hath caused his Name to dwell there, destroy all Kings and people that put to their hand to alter, and to destroy this house of God, which is in Ierusalem. I Darius haue made a decree, let it be done with speede.
Chineke ahụ, onye mere Jerusalem ebe obibi ya, ga-ebibi eze ọbụla maọbụ mba ọbụla gbanwere iwu a, maọbụ bibie ụlọnsọ ahụ ọzọ. Ọ bụ Daraiọs na-enye iwu a. Ka onye ọbụla were ike ya niile debe ya.
13 Then Tatnai the captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shethar Boznai and their companions, according to that which Darius had sent, so they did speedily.
Ya mere, nʼihi iwu ahụ eze Daraiọs zitere, Tatenai, onyeisi ọchịchị nʼala ofe mmiri, na Sheta Bozenai, na ndị otu ha, mere ihe niile dịka ozi ahụ si dị na-atụfughị oge ọbụla.
14 So the Elders of the Iewes builded, and they prospered by the prophecying of Haggai the Prophet, and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo, and they buylded and finished it, by the appoyntment of the God of Israel, and by the commandement of Cyrus and Darius, and Artahshashte king of Persia.
Nʼihi ya, ndịisi Juu gara nʼihu nʼọrụ, ihe na-agakwara ha nke ọma site na nkwusa onye amụma, bụ Hegai, na Zekaraya, nwa Ido. Ha wuchara ụlọnsọ ahụ dịka iwu Chineke Izrel nyere si dị, nakwa dịka Sairọs, na Daraiọs, na Ataksekses, ndị eze Peshịa, nyekwara nʼiwu.
15 And this house was finished the thirde day of the moneth Adar, which was the sixt yeere of the reigne of King Darius.
Ha wusiri ya nʼabalị nke atọ nʼọnwa isii (dị ka ọgụgụ afọ ndị Juu si dị) nʼafọ nke isii nke ọchịchị Daraiọs.
16 And the children of Israel, the Priestes, and the Leuites, and the residue of the children of the captiuitie kept the dedication of this house of God with ioy,
Ụmụ Izrel, bụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na ndị fọdụrụ nʼime ndị e mere ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ, ji ọṅụ mee mmemme nke ido ụlọ nke Chineke ahụ nsọ na gbaghee ya.
17 And offred at the dedication of this house of God an hundreth bullockes, two hundreth rams, foure hundreth lambes, and twelue goates, for the sinne of all Israel, according to the nomber of the tribes of Israel.
Nʼihi ido ụlọ ahụ nsọ, ha ji oke ehi dị otu narị nʼọnụọgụgụ, na narị ebule abụọ, na narị atụrụ anọ chụọ aja, werekwa mkpi iri na abụọ chụọ aja mmehie nʼihi ndị Izrel niile, dịka ebo niile nke Izrel si dị.
18 And they set the Priests in their order, and the Leuites in their courses ouer the seruice of God in Ierusalem, as it is written in the booke of Moses.
Ha guzobere ndị nchụaja na nkewa ha, ndị Livayị nʼotu ha maka ije ozi nke Chineke na Jerusalem, dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis.
19 And the childre of the captiuitie kept the Passeouer on ye fourtenth day of the first moneth.
Ndị ahụ emere ka ha gaa biri nʼala ọzọ, mere Mmemme Ngabiga nʼabalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ.
20 (For the Priests and the Leuites were purified altogether) and they killed the Passeouer for all the children of the captiuitie, and for their brethren the Priests, and for themselues.
Ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị edoola onwe ha ọcha, ha niile dịkwa ọcha. Ndị Livayị nʼonwe ha gburu ọtụtụ atụrụ Mmemme Ngabiga maka ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị ndị ọzọ, na ndị ahụ niile lọtara alọta site na mba ọzọ.
21 So the children of Israel which were come againe out of captiuitie, and all such as had separated themselues vnto them, from the filthines of the Heathen of the land, to seeke the Lord God of Israel, did eate,
Ya mere, ndị Izrel niile bụ ndị ahụ lọtara site nʼebe e mere ka ha gaa biri riri ihe ahụ, ha na ndị ahụ niile kewapụrụ onwe ha juu ibi ajọọ ndụ nke ndị mba ọzọ bi nʼala ahụ na-ebi, nʼihi ịchọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel.
22 And they kept ye feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes with ioy: for the Lord had made them glad, and turned the heart of the King of Asshur vnto them, to incourage them in the worke of the house of God, euen the God of Israel.
Ha sokwa mee mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nke ha mere ụbọchị asaa. Oke ọṅụ jupụtara nʼala Izrel niile nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mere ka eze Asịrịa nwee obiọma nʼebe Izrel nọ, nyere ha aka iwugharị ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, onye bụ Chineke Izrel.
