Ezras 5
1 Un pravieši Hagaja un Zaharija, Idus dēls, sludināja tiem Jūdiem, kas Jūdā un Jeruzālemē dzīvoja, - Israēla Dieva vārdā tie uz viņiem runāja.
Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel.
2 Tad Zerubabels, Šealtiēļa dēls, un Ješuūs, Jocadaka dēls, cēlās un sāka uzcelt Dieva namu Jeruzālemē, un līdz ar tiem tie Dieva pravieši, kas tos iedrošināja.
Then rose up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
3 Tanī laikā pie tiem atnāca Tatnajs, zemes valdītājs viņpus upes, un ŠetarBoznajs ar saviem biedriem, un uz tiem tā sacīja: kas jums atvēlējis, šo namu uztaisīt un šo mūri uzcelt?
And at the same time came to them Thathanai, who was governor beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and their counsellors: and said thus to them: Who hath given you counsel to build this house, and to repair the walls thereof?
4 Tad mēs viņiem sacījām to vīru vārdus, kas šo darbu taisīja.
In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building.
5 Bet viņu Dieva acs bija pār Jūdu vecajiem, ka tie viņus neaizkavēja, kamēr šī lieta Dārijam nāca zināma un tie grāmatu par to dabūja atpakaļ.
But the eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation.
6 Šis ir tās grāmatas raksts, ko Tatnajs, zemes valdītājs viņpus upes, ar ŠetarBoznaju un viņa biedriem, Avarzaķiešiem, kas viņpus upes dzīvoja, rakstīja ķēniņam Dārijam.
The copy of the letter that Thathanai governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors the Arphasachites, who dwelt beyond the river, sent to Darius the king.
7 Tie sūtīja viņam grāmatu un tanī tā bija rakstīts: viss miers lai ir ķēniņam Dārijam.
The letter which they sent him, was written thus: To Darius the king all peace.
8 Ķēniņam lai ir zināms, ka mēs esam nogājuši Jūda zemē tā lielā Dieva namā, kas top uzcelts no cirstiem akmeņiem, un baļķi top ielikti sienās, un darbs top tikuši(rūpīgi) darīts un izdodas labi caur viņu rokām.
Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently, and advanceth in their hands.
9 Mēs tad esam vaicājuši tos vecajus un uz viņiem sacījuši: kas jums atvēlējis, šo namu uzcelt un šo mūri uztaisīt?
And we asked those ancients, and said to them thus: Who hath given you authority to build this house, and to repair these walls?
10 Mēs arī viņu vārdus esam izprasījuši no tiem, tev dot ziņu un rakstīt to vīru vārdus, kas viņu virsnieki.
We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them.
11 Bet tie mums atdeva tādu atbildi un sacīja: mēs esam debesu un zemes Dieva kalpi un uzceļam to namu, kas jau sen priekšgados bijis uzcelts, jo liels Israēla ķēniņš to uzcēlis un pabeidzis.
And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up.
12 Tādēļ vien ka mūsu tēvi bija apkaitinājuši to debesu Dievu, viņš tos nodevis Kaldeja NebukadNecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, rokā, un tas šo namu nopostījis un tos ļaudis aizvedis cietumā uz Bābeli.
But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon.
13 Bet Bābeles ķēniņa Kirus pirmā gadā ķēniņš Kirus pavēlējis, šo Dieva namu uzcelt.
But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth a decree, that this house of God should be built.
14 Un arī Dieva nama zelta un sudraba traukus, ko NebukadNecars izvedis no Dieva nama Jeruzālemē un tos novedis sava dieva namā uz Bābeli, tos ķēniņš Kirus ir ņēmis no Bābeles dieva nama, un tie ir atdoti vienam ar vārdu Šešbacars, ko viņš bija iecēlis par zemes valdītāju.
And the vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor,
15 Un viņš uz to sacīja: ņem šos traukus, ej un noved tos uz to Dieva namu, kas Jeruzālemē, un lai tas Dieva nams top uzcelts savā vietā.
And said to him: Take these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.
16 Tad šis Šešbacars nāca un lika pamatu Dieva namam Jeruzālemē, un tā no tā laika līdz šim ir strādāts, bet ne pabeigts.
Then came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet finished.
17 Ja nu ķēniņam patīk, tad lai meklē ķēniņa mantu namā, kas Bābelē, vai tā ir, ka no ķēniņa Kirus pavēlēts, uzcelt Dieva namu Jeruzālemē, un lai ķēniņa pavēle par to mums top sūtīta.
Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king’s library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
