Ezra 3
1 Tukun malem itkosr, mwet Israel elos oakwuki in acn selos. Na elos nukewa toeni Jerusalem.
And now the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities: and the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Ac Joshua wen natul Jehozadak, oayapa mwet tol wial, ac Zerubbabel wen natul Shealtiel wi sou lal, elos tukeni sifilpa musai loang lun God lun Israel, tuh elos fah ku in orek kisa firir fac fal nu ke ouiya ma simla in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet lun God.
And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the mall of God.
3 Mwet su foloko liki sruoh elos finne sangeng sin mwet muta fin acn ah, elos sifil pacna musaela loang in kisa fin acn se na ma oan we meet ah. Na elos sifilpa mutawauk in kisakin mwe kisa in lotutang ac mwe kisa in eku ke len nukewa.
And they set the altar of God upon its bases, while the people of the lands round about put them in fear, and they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord morning and evening.
4 Elos akfulatye Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk, fal nu ke ma oakwuk. Ke kais sie len elos sang mwe kisa fal nu ke ma oakwuki nu ke len sac.
And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the holocaust every day orderly according to the commandment, the duty of the day in its day.
5 Ac sayen ma inge, elos oru pac mwe kisa firir ma enenu in fonna kisakinyuk, ac mwe kisa ke Kufwa lun Malem Sasu ac ke toeni nukewa su mwet uh alu nu sin LEUM GOD, oayapa elos sang mwe sang ke insewowo nu sin LEUM GOD.
And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a free-will offering was made to the Lord.
6 Mwet uh finne soenna mutawauk in musai Tempul, a ke len se emeet in malem se akitkosr elos mutawauk in orek kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer holocausts to the Lord: but the temple of God was not yet founded.
7 Mwet uh sang mani in moli mwet orekma ke eot ac mwet kamtu, ac elos sang mwe mongo, mwe nim, ac oil in olive tuh in supweyukla nu in siti Tyre ac Sidon, mwe ayaol nu ke sak cedar Lebanon me. Sak inge ac pahkinyuk ut meoa nu Joppa. Tokosra Fulat Cyrus lun Persia pa fuhlela tuh ma inge nukewa in orek.
And they gave money to hewers of stones and to masons: and meat and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppe, according to the orders which Cyrus king of the Persians had given them.
8 Ouinge elos mutawauk orekma ke malem se akluo in yac se tukun elos foloko nu ke acn se Tempul tuh oan we Jerusalem. Zerubbabel, Joshua, ac mwet wialos, oayapa mwet tol, ac mwet Levi, aok mwet nukewa su folok liki sruoh nu Jerusalem, elos tukeni kasru ke orekma. Mwet Levi nukewa yac longoul matwa ku matu liki, pa itukyang in kol orekma in sifil musai Tempul uh.
And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord.
9 Jeshua mwet Levi, ac wen natul nukewa ac sou lalos, oayapa Kadmiel ac wen natul nukewa (elos ma in sou lal Hodaviah) elos tukeni kol orekma ke sifilpa musa lun Tempul. (Oasr pac kasreyuk nu selos sin mwet Levi in sou lal Henadad.)
Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites.
10 Ke mwet musa elos mutawauk in oaki pwelung lun Tempul uh, mwet tol elos nokomang nuknuk in alu lalos, ac tu yen srisrngiyuk nu selos wi mwe ukuk in paolos, na mwet Levi in sou lal Asaph elos sruok cymbal natulos ac wi pac tuyak. Elos kaksakin LEUM GOD fal nu ke ma fwack nu selos tutafme in pacl lal Tokosra David me.
And when the masons laid the foundations of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their ornaments with trumpets: and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise God by the hands of David king of Israel.
11 Ke elos on ac kaksakin LEUM GOD, elos kalweni kas inge: “LEUM GOD El wo, ac lungse lal nu sin Israel oan ma pahtpat.” Mwet nukewa elos sala ke kuiyalos nufon, ac kaksakin LEUM GOD, mweyen orekma in oakiya pwelung lun Tempul uh srola.
And they sung together hymns, and praise to the Lord: because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, praising the Lord, because the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid.
12 Mwet matu puspis sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi ac sifen sou, elos tuh liye Tempul se meet ah, na ke elos liye oakwuki lun pwelung ke Tempul se inge, elos wowoyak ac tung. A mwet saya su wi tukeni sac elos sasa ke engan.
But many of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers and the ancients that had seen the former temple; when they had the foundation of this temple before their eyes, wept with a loud voice: and many shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.
13 Wangin mwet ku in akilen inmasrlon wowo ke engan ac wowo ke tung, mweyen pusren ngisyak lalos orala pusra na lulap su ku in lohngyuk yen loessula.
So that one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people: for one with another the people shouted with a loud shout, and the voice was heard afar off.
