1Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
1He kah olka hnukah Persia manghai Artaxerxes kah ram ah Hilkiah koca Azariah kah a ca, Seraiah capa Ezra.
2the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
2Shallum capa Hilkiah, Zadok capa Shallum, Ahitub capa Zadok.
3the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
3Amariah capa Ahitub, Azariah capa, Meraioth capa Azariah.
4the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
4Zerahiah capa Meraioth, Uzzi capa Zerahiah, Bukki capa Uzzi.
5the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest —
5Abishua capa Bukki, Phinekha capa Abishua, Eleazar capa Phinekha, khosoih boeilu Aaron capa Eleazar.
6this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
6Ezra he Babylon lamloh a mael vaengah Moses olkhueng dongkah a cadaek te amah loh a ming. Te te Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a paek. A Pathen BOEIPA kut loh anih soah a om dongah a kueknah boeih te manghai loh a taengah a paek.
7And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
7Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek lamkah khaw, khosoih neh Levi lamkah khaw, laa sa neh thoh tawt khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw manghai Artaxerxes kah a kum rhih vaengah tah Jerusalem la cet uh.
8And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
8Manghai kah kum rhih nah hla nga vaengah tah Jerusalem pawk.
9For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
9Hla khat dongkah lamhmacuek hnin vaengah Babylon lamkah tangtlaeng a tongnah lamloh hla nga dongkah lamhmacuek hnin ah tah Jerusalem ah pawk. A Pathen kah kut tah anih soah then tangloeng.
10For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
10Ezra he BOEIPA olkhueng thuep ham neh vai ham khaw, Israel khuiah oltlueh neh laitloeknah tukkil ham khaw a thinko cikngae.
11Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of His statutes to Israel:
11He kah capat catlaep he manghai Artaxerxes loh BOEIPA kah olpaek ol neh Israel ham a oltlueh dongkah cadaek saya, khosoih Ezra taengah a paek.
12'Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, and so forth. And now
12Manghai boeih kah manghai Artaxerxes loh vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra tah a yoethen pai.
13I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go with thee to Jerusalem, go.
13Ka ram khui kah a puhlu boeih ham kai lamloh saithainah ka paek coeng. Israel pilnam neh a khosoih rhoek khaw, Levi khaw Jerusalem la caeh ham nang m'puei saeh.
14Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
14He kong dongah Manghai neh anih kah olrhoep parhih taeng lamloh Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah na kut dongkah na Pathen oltlueh te thoelh hamla a pat coeng.
15and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
15Amah kolhmuen Jerusalem kah Israel Pathen taengah manghai neh a olrhoep rhoek loh a puhlu cak neh sui khaw khuen ham om.
16and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
16Cak neh sui boeih te Babylon paeng pum ah na hmuh bitni. Jerusalem kah a Pathen im ham tah pilnam khaw a puhlu tih khosoih rhoek long khaw a puhlu.
17therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
17He kong ah tangka nen he vaito, tutal, tuca khaw, a khosaa neh a tuisi khaw tluem tluem lai. Te te Jerusalem ah na Pathen im kah hmueihtuk dongah nawn.
18And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God.
18Namah taengkah neh na manuca taengkah boeih te tah cak khaw, sui khaw a coih nen te a then la saii lamtah na Pathen kah ngaihnah bangla saii uh.
19And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
19Te hnopai te na Pathen im kah thothuengnah ham nang taengah kam paek. Te te Jerusalem kah Pathen taengah cum coeng.
20And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house.
20Na Pathen im kah a tloe a ngoe dongah thoh hamla nang soah aka tla te tah manghai cabu im lamkah te thoo mai.
21And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers that are beyond the River, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
21Manghai Artaxerxes kai kamah lamloh sok paem kah hnokhoem boeih taengah saithainah ka paek. A cungkuem dongah vaan Pathen kah oltlueh cadaek khosoih Ezra nang n'dawt saeh lamtah tluem tluem saii.
22unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
22Cak talent yakhat hil, cangyen kore yakhat hil, misurtui bath yakhat hil, situi bath yakhat neh lungkaehtael toeklek toekna pawt hil tawn saeh.
23Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
23Vaan Pathen kah saithainah lamkah boeih he vaan Pathen im dongah tluem tluem saii saeh. Balae tih kosi manghai kah ram neh a ca a bo thil eh.
24Also we announce to you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, impost, or toll, upon them.
24Te phoeiah khosoih boeih neh Levi khaw, laasa rhoek khaw, thoh tawt rhoek khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw, Pathen im kah tho aka thueng he khaw, mangmu neh hlang mangmu khaw, cawn khaw, amih soah coi ham saithainah om pawh tila namah taengah mingpha saeh.
25And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not.
25Ezra nang khaw na Pathen kah cueihnah rhangneh na kut dongkah aka taemrhai ham neh laitloekung la m'hmoel coeng. Te tlam te a om uh daengah ni sok paem kah pilnam cungkuem taengah neh na Pathen oltlueh aka ming boeih taengah khaw, na ming bangla aka ming pawt taengah khaw lai aka tloek rhoek loh lai a tloek thai eh.
26And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.'
26Na Pathen kah oltlueh neh manghai kah oltlueh aka vai pawt boeih te tah laitloeknah tluem tluem om saeh. Anih te dueknah nen khaw, haeknah nen khaw, a koe tuuknah nen khaw, pinnah nen khaw saii saeh.
27Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem;
27Mamih napa rhoek kah Pathen Yahweh tah a yoethen pai saeh. Tahae kah bangla Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im te cam hamla manghai kah lungbuei ah a cuen sak.
28and hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
28Kai ham khaw manghai neh a olrhoep mikhmuh ah, hlangrhalh manghai kah mangpa boeih taengah khaw sitlohnah a tueng sak. Ka sokah kah ka Pathen BOEIPA kut rhangneh kamah khaw ka moem uh. Te dongah kamah neh aka puei la Israel boeilu te ka coi.
