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,
1MAHOHE iho o keia mau mea, i ka wa i alii ai o Aretasaseta, ke alii o Peresia, o Ezera ke keiki a Seraia, ke keiki a Azaria, ke keiki a Hilekia,
2the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
2Ke keiki a Saluma, ke keiki a Zadoka, ke keiki a Ahituba,
3the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
3Ke keiki a Amaria, ke keiki a Azaria, ke keiki a Meraiota,
4the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
4Ke keiki a Zerahia, ke keiki a Uzi, ke keiki a Buki,
5the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
5Ke keiki a Abisua, ke keiki a Pinehasa, ke keiki a Eleazara, ke keiki a Aarona ke kakuna nui:
6this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled 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 LORD his God’s hand on him.
6O ua Ezera la, pii aku la ia mai Babulona aku; a he kakauolelo makaukau no ia ma ke kanawai o Mose, ka mea a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela i haawi mai ai; a haawi mai ke alii ia ia i ka mea a pau ana i noi ai, mamuli o ka lima o Iehova o kona Akua maluna ona.
7Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
7A pii ae la kekahi poe o na mamo a Iseraela, a o na kahuna, a me ua Levi, a me ka poe mele, a me na kiaipuka, a me ka poe Netini, i Ierusalema, i ka hiku o ka makahiki o Aretasaseta ke alii.
8He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
8A hele mai ia i Ierusalema i ka lima o ka malama, oia hoi ka hiku o ka makahiki o ke alii.
9For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.
9No ka mea, i ka la mua o ka malama mua kona hoomaka ana e pii mai Babulona aku, a i ka la mua o ka lima o ka malama, hiki aku ia i Ierusalema, mamuli o ka lima o kona Akua maluna ona e pono ai.
10For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
10No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau o Ezera i kona naau e imi i ke kanawai o Iehova, a e hana aku hoi, a e ao aku iloko o ka Iseraela i ke kanawai, a me ka olelo kupaa.
11Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:
11Eia ko kope o ka palapala a Aretasaseta ke alii i haawi aku ai ia Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo, he kakauolelo no na kauoha a Iehova, a me kona mau kanawai i ka Iseraela.
12Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
12O Aretasaseta, ke alii o na'lii, ia Ezera ke kahuna, he kakauolelo akamai ma ke kanawai o ke Akua o ka lani, a pela aku no.
13I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
13Na'u no e kauoha aku, o kela mea keia mea o na kanaka o ka Iseraela, o na kahuna, a me na Levi iloko o ko'u aupuni, i makemake e hele i Ierusalema, e hele no me oe.
14Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
14No ka mea, ua hoounaia'ku oe mai ke alo aku o ke alii, a me na kakaolelo ona ehiku, e nana aku i ko Iudea, a me ko Ierusalema, mamuli o ke kanawai o kou Akua ma kou lima;
15and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
15A e lawe aku hoi i ke kala a me ke gula a ke alii, a me kona mau kakaolelo i mohai aku ai no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aia ma Ierusalema kona noho ana,
16and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.
16A o ke kala a pau a me ke gula e loaa ia oe iloko o ka aina o Babulona nei, me na manawalea a na kanaka, a me na kahuna i mohai ai no ka hale o ko lakou Akua ma Ierusalema;
17Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
17I kuai koke aku ai oe me keia kala i na bipikane, a me na hipakane, a me na keikihipa a me ka lakou mohai ai a me na mohai inu, a kaumaha aku ia lakou maluna o ke kuahu o ka hale o ko oukou Akua ma Ierusalema.
18Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
18A o ka pono ia oe, a i kou poe hoahanau, e hana me ke koena o ke kala, a me ke gula, oia ka oukou e hana'i ma ka makemake o ko oukou Akua.
19The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
19A o na kiaha hoi i haawiia nou no ka hana ma ka hale o kou Akua, oia mau mea kau e hoihoi aku ai imua o ke Akua o Ierusalema.
20Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
20A o na mea e ae i pono ai ka hale o kou Akua, au e manao e haawi aku, e haawi aku no oe noloko mai o ka halewaiwai o ke alii.
21I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
21A owau, owau o Aretasaseta ke alii, ke kauoha aku nei i ka poe malama waiwai a pau ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, o na mea a pau a Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo o ke kanawai o ke Akua o ka lani, e noi aku ai ia oukou, e hana koke ia ia mea;
22up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
22A hiki i ka haneri talena kala, a i haneri kora hua palaoa, a i ka haneri bato waina, a i ka haneri bato aila, a me ka paakai aole e hoakakaia.
23Whatever 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?
23A o ka mea a pau i kauohaia e ke Akua o ka lani, e hana koke ia ia mea no ka hale o ke Akua o ka lani: no ka mea, no ke aha la e kauia mai ai ka inaina maluna o ke aupuni o ke alii, a me kana poe keiki?
24Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.
24Ke hoike aku nei no hoi makou ia oukou, no na kahuna a pau, a no na Levi, no ka poe mele, no na kiaipuka, no ka poe Netini, a me ka poe lawelawe ma keia hale o ke Akua, aole he pono ke auhau ia lakou i ka uku, a me ka hookupu, a me ke dute.
25You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.
25A o oe, e Ezera, ma ka naauao o kou Akua, ka mea ma kou lima, e hoonoho i na luna, a i na lunakanawai, na mea e hooponopono i na kanaka a pau ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, i ua mea a pau i ike i na kanawai o kou Akua, a e ao aku i ka poe ike ole.
26Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
26A o ka mea malama ole i ke kanawai o kou Akua, a me ke kanawai o ke alii, e hoopai koke ia'ku oia, ina no ka make, a no ke kipakuia ana, a no ka hao ana o ka waiwai, a no ka hoopaa iloko o ka halepaahao.
27Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem;
27E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna, nana i haawi keia manao iloko o ka naau o ke alii, e hoonani i ka hale o Iehova ma Ierusalema;
28and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
28A i lokomaikai hoi ia'u imua o ke alii, a me kona poe kakaolelo, a me na luna nui o ke alii. A ua hooikaikaia au ma ka lima o Iehova ko'u Akua maluna o'u; a hoakoakoa ae la au i na luna o ka Iseraela, e pii pu me au.
