Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
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,
1Yac puspis toko, ke Artaxerxes el tuh tokosra fulat lun acn Persia, oasr mwet se pangpang Ezra. El lohlla mwet matu lal folok nwe kacl Aaron, Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge: Ezra el wen natul Seraiah, su wen natul Azariah, su wen natul Hilkiah,

5su wen natul Abishua, su wen natul Phinehas, su wen natul Eleazar, su wen natul Aaron.
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 el tuh sie mwet lutlut su arulana yohk etu lal ke Ma Sap su LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh sang nu sel Moses. Ke sripen LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal Ezra, ouinge tokosra fulat el sang nu sel ma nukewa el siyuk kac. Ezra el som liki acn Babylonia
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.
7in yac se akitkosr tukun Artaxerxes el mutawauk in leum fin acn we, na el som nu Jerusalem wi kutu sin mwet Israel ac kutu mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet on, mwet topang su forfor taran mutunpot, ac mwet orekma lun Tempul.
8And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
8Elos utyak nu Jerusalem ke malem se meet in yac se akitkosr lun tokosra fulat sac.
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.
9Elos mukuiyak liki acn Babylon ke len se meet in malem se meet, na ke kasreyuk lun God elos sun acn Jerusalem ke len se meet in malem se aklimekosr.
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 el sang insial in lutlut ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD ac in moulkin, oayapa el luti ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa kac nu sin mwet Israel.
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:
11Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes el sang leta se inge nu sel Ezra, su sie mwet tol ac mwet lutlut su arulana yohk etu lal ke ma sap ac oakwuk ku su LEUM GOD El tuh sang nu sin Israel:
12'Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, and so forth. And now
12“Ma sel Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes, nu sel Ezra, mwet tol ac mwet lutlut yohk ke Ma Sap lun God lun Kusrao.
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.
13“Nga sapkin nu yen nukewa in tokosrai luk tuh kutena mwet Israel, ku mwet tol ac mwet Levi, su lungse wi kom som nu Jerusalem, elos ku in som.
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;
14Nga ac mwet pwapa itkosr luk, kut supwekom in som liye ouiyen acn Jerusalem ac Judah, in liye lah fuka akosyen Ma Sap lun God lom, su El asot nu sum in karingin.
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,
15Kom in us mwe sang orek ke gold ac silver su nga ac mwet pwapa luk lungse in sang nu sin God lun Israel, su Tempul la oan in Jerusalem.
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;
16Kom fah oayapa us silver ac gold nukewa su kom orani in acn nukewa lun Babylon, ac mwe sang pac su mwet Israel ac mwet tol lalos elos sang nu ke Tempul lun God lalos in Jerusalem.
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.
17“Kom fah oaru in orekmakin mani inge in moli cow mukul, sheep mukul, sheep fusr, wheat, ac wain, na kom fah kisakin ma inge fin loang lun Tempul in Jerusalem.
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.
18Kom ku in orekmakin silver ac gold ma lula nu ke kutena ma su kom ac mwet lom fah sulela, fal nu ke lungse lun God lom.
19And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
19Kom fah sang nu sin God in acn Jerusalem ahlu nukewa ma itukot nu sum in orekmakinyuk in Tempul ke pacl in alu.
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.
20Ac fin oasr kutena ma saya su kom enenu pac nu ke Tempul, kom fah eis liki iwen filma lun tokosra.
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,
21“Nga sapkin nu sin mwet nukewa su karingin mwe kasrup in acn Roto‐in‐Euphrates, tuh kowos in aksaye sang nu sel Ezra, su mwet tol ac mwet lutlut ke Ma Sap lun God lun Kusrao, ma nukewa el siyuk kac.
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.
22Aok, in tia alukela paun itkosr tausin lumfoko ke silver, bushel lumfoko ke wheat, gallon lumfoko lumngaul ke wain, gallon lumfoko lumngaul ke oil in olive, ac lupan sohl ma el ac enenu.
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?
23Kowos enenu in arulana oaru in sang ma nukewa su God lun Kusrao El enenu nu ke Tempul lal. Ouinge kowos fah oru tuh El fah tiana kasrkusrak sik ku selos su ac fah leum tukuk.
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.
24Nga sapkin tuh in wangin sie suwos eisani tax sin mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet on, mwet topang ke mutunpot, mwet orekma, ku kutena mwet saya su kupasr nu ke Tempul se inge.
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.
25“Kom, Ezra, ke lalmwetmet su God lom El asot nu sum, kom in sulela mwet kol ac mwet nununku in liyaung mwet nukewa Roto‐in‐Euphrates su moul ye Ma Sap lun God lom. Kom in luti Ma Sap inge nu sin kutena mwet su tia etu.
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.'
26Kutena mwet fin seakos ma sap lun God lom, ku ma sap lun tokosrai luk, eneneyuk tuh in sa na kalyeiyuk elos ouinge: ke misa, ku nu ke sruoh, ku ke eisla ma lalos, ku ke kauli in presin.”
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;
27Ezra el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lasr! El oru tuh tokosra fulat elan insewowo in akfulatye Tempul lun LEUM GOD in Jerusalem in ouiya se inge.
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.
28Ke lungkulang lun God, nga ku in eis kulang sin tokosra fulat, oayapa sin mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet nukewa lal su fulat ac ku. LEUM GOD luk El akpulaikyeyu, pwanang nga tuh ku in aknunakye sifen sou puspis lun Israel in wiyu folok.”
