Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
To naah Darius siangpahrang lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, Babylon ih hmuenmae pakumehaih im ah suek ih cabu pongah pakrong o.
2 A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
Media prae Akmetha vangpui ih, siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuen ah cabu to a hnuk o, to cabu thungah tarik ih lok loe,
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
Sairas siangpahrang, siangpahrang ah ohhaih saningto haih naah, siangpahrang mah Jerusalem ih Sithaw im kawng pongah lokpaekhaih to a sak; angbawnhaih sak hanah im to sah o let nasoe, im hmuen to kacakah sah o nasoe; im loe dong quitarukto sang ueloe, dong quitarukto kawk tih;
4 with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
Kalen parai thlung hoiah sak ih asom thumto, thing kangtha hoiah sak ih asom maeto sah o nasoe loe, im sakhaih atho loe siangpahrang ih phoisa hoiah paek o nasoe.
5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
Nebukhadnezzar mah Jerusalem im thung hoiah lak moe, Babylon ah sinh ih, Sithaw imthung ih sui hoi sumkanglungnawk to paek let nasoe loe, Jerusalem im ah suem o let nasoe; to hmuennawk boih loe, angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah, Sithaw im ah suem o let nasoe.
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
To pongah vaihi vapui yaeh ukkung, Tatnai, Shethar-Boznai hoi nam pui ah kaom, vapui yaeh ih Aphasa kaminawk, to ahmuen hoiah tacawt oh;
7 Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
Sithaw im toksakhaih to pakaa o hmah; Judah prae ukkung hoi Judah kacoetanawk mah Sithaw im to angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah sah o nasoe.
8 Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
To pacoengah, hae Sithaw im sakhaih pongah Judah kacoehtanawk to raihaih paek o hmah, nihcae to na bomh o moe, nihcae im sakhaih atho to vapui yaeh ah cong ih tamut hoiah paek hanah, lok takroekhaih ka sak.
9 That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
Nihcae mah van Sithaw khaeah hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah, maitaw taenawk, tuu taenawk, tuu caanawk, cang, paloi, misurtui hoi situinawk to, Jerusalem ih qaimanawk mah sak o ih baktih toengah, kangaih hmuennawk boih to aek ai ah ni thokkruek nihcae hanah paek oh;
10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
to tiah nihcae mah van Sithaw khaeah hmuihoih angbawnhaih to paek o ueloe, siangpahrang hoi a capanawk hanah lawkthui pae o tih.
11 I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
To pacoengah ka paek ih hae lok hae pakhraih kami loe, anih ih im tung to aphong pae oh, thing to thling o nasoe loe, anih to thing nuiah bang o nasoe; anih ih im to aek patunghaih ahmuen ah om nasoe, tiah lok ka takroek.
12 May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
Jerusalem ih Sithaw im amro han sah siangpahrang hoi kaminawk boih loe to ahmuen ah angmah ih ahmin caksak Sithaw mah amrosak nasoe; Kai, Darius mah lokpaekhaih ka sak boeh; ka paek ih lok baktih toengah karangah sah o nasoe, tiah tarik.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
To naah Darius siangpahrang mah pat ih ca baktih toengah, vapui yaeh prae ukkung Tatnai, Shethar-Boznai hoi to ah kaom ampuinawk loe karangah tok to sak o.
14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Judah kacoehtanawk loe im to sak patomh o poe, tahmaa Haggai hoi Iddo ih caa Zekariah mah thuih ih lok rang hoiah paroeai toksak hmacawn o; im to Israel Sithaw lokpaekhaih, Persia siangpahrang Sairas, Darius hoi Artaxerxes lok takroekhaih baktih toengah a sak pacoeng o.
15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Darius siangpahrang angraenghaih saning tarukto haih, Adar khrah ni thumto naah im to pacoeng o.
16 The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
To naah Israel kaminawk, qaimanawk, Levinawk hoi misong ah kaom kaminawk boih mah, Sithaw ih im to anghoehaih hoiah tathlang o.
17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Hae Sithaw im tathlang hanah maitaw tae cumvaito, tuu tae cumvai hnetto, tuucaa cumvai palito hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah zae angbawn haih hanah, maeh tae hatlai hnetto, Israel acaeng kami zetto kangbae ah a paek o.
18 They set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Mosi ih cabu thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, Jerusalem ah Sithaw toksak hanah, qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to angmacae ih ahmuen boih ah suek o.
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Misong ah kalaem kaminawk loe, khrah amtonghaih ni hatlai palito naah misong loihaih poih to sak o.
20 Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk loe nawnto ciimcai o, kaminawk doeh ciimcai o sak pacoengah, Levi acaengnawk mah misong ah kalaem kaminawk, angmacae nawkamya qaimanawk hoi angmacae hanah misong loihaih poihkung ah tuuca to a boh o.
21 The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, ate,
Israel Angraeng Sithaw to bok hanah, misong hoiah kamlaem Israel caanawk loe nihcae taeng ih prae thungah kaom panuet thok Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah sak ih hmuen thungah kathum ai kaminawk hoi nawnto buhcaak o.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.
Ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw poih to anghoehaih hoiah uum o; Sithaw mah Assyria siangpahrang ih palungthin to amkhraisak moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih im sak hanah abomsak pongah, Angraeng mah kaminawk boih ih palungthin to anghoehaih hoiah koisak.
