Ezra 7

Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

Ary rehefa afaka izany, tamin'ny nanjakan'i Artaksersesy, mpanjakan'i Persia, dia niakatra Ezra, zanak'i Seraia, zanak'i Azaria, zanak'i Hilklay

The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

zanak'i Saloma, zanak'i Zadoka, zanak'i Ahitoba,

The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,

zanak'i Amaria, zanak'i Azaria, zanak'i Meraiota,

The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,

zanak'i Zerahia, zanak'i Ozy, zanak'i Boky,

The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:

zanak'i Abisoa, zanak'i Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara, zanak'i Arona mpisoronabe;

This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.

io Ezra io dia niakatra avy tany Babylona (mpanora-dalàna izy sady nahay ny lalàn'i Mosesy, izay efa nomen'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely); ary nomen'ny mpanjaka azy izay rehetra nangatahiny, araka ny nomban'ny tànan'i Jehovah Andriamaniny azy.

And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

Ary niakatra koa ny sasany amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely sy ny sasany amin'ny mpisorona mbamin'ny Levita sy ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana ary ny Netinima mba hankany Jerosalema tamin'ny taona fahafito nanjakan'i Artaksersesy mpanjaka.

And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

Ary tonga tany Jerosalema Ezra tamin'ny volana fahadimy tamin'ny taona fahafito nanjakan'ny mpanjaka.

For 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.

Fa tamin'ny andro voalohany tamin'ny volana voalohany no niaingany niakatra avy tany Babylona; ary tamin'ny andro voalohany tamin'ny volana fahadimy no nahatongavany tany Jerosalema araka ny soa nataon'ny tànan'Andriamaniny taminy.

For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.

Fa Ezra nampiomana ny fony hitady ny lalàn'i Jehovah ka hankatò izany ary hampianatra ny Isiraely didy sy fitsipika.

Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.

Ary izao no tenin'ny taratasy izay nomen'i Artaksersesy mpanjaka an'i Ezra mpisorona, ilay mpanora-dalàna mahay ny tenin'ny lalàn'i Jehovah sy ny didiny tamin'ny Isiraely:

Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time.

Artaksersesy, mpanjakan'ny mpanjaka, ho an'i Ezra mpisorona, mpanora-dalàna mahay tsara ny lalàn'Andriamanitry ny lanitra.

I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.

Izaho manao didy fa na iza na iza eto amin'ny fanjakako amin'ny olona Isiraely sy ny mpisorony ary ny Levita no te-hiaraka aminao hankany Jerosalema, dia mahazo mandeha izy.

Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;

Fa ianao efa nirahin'ny mpanjaka sy izy fito lahy mpanolo-tsainy handinika ny toetran'i Joda sy Jerosalema araka ny lalàn'Andriamanitrao izay eny an-tananao;

And 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,

ary hitondra ny volafotsy sy ny volamena izay efa naterin'ny mpanjaka sy ireo mpanolo-tsaina tamin'ny sitrapo ho an'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay monina any Jerosalema;

And all the silver and gold that thou canst 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:

ary ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra izay ho azonao eran'ny tany Babylona sy ny fanati-tsitrapo aterin'ny olona sy ny mpisorona, dia izay ateriny amin'ny sitrapo hanaovany ny tranon'Andriamaniny, izay any Jerosalema.

That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.

Koa amin'izany dia ividiano omby sy ondrilahy sy zanak'ondry mbamin'ny fanatitra hohanina sy ny fanatitra aidina momba azy amin'io vola io araka izay marina, ka atero eo ambonin'ny alitara ao an-tranon'Andriamanitrareo izay any Jerosalema ireny.

And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.

Ary izay rehetra sitrakao sy ny rahalahinao hatao amin'ny volafotsy sy ny volamena sisa, dia ataovy izany araka ny sitrapon'Andriamanitrareo.

The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.

Ary ny fanaka izay nomena anao hanaovana ny fanompoana ao an-tranon'Andriamanitrao dia atolory eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra any Jerosalema.

And 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.

Ary izay rehetra mbola hilainao koa ka tsy maintsy haloanao ho an'ny tranon'Andriamanitrao dia alao ao amin'ny trano firaketan'ny mpanjaka.

And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which 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 speedily,

Ary izaho, Artaksersesy mpanjaka, dia manao didy koa ho amin'ny mpitahiry ny haren'ny fanjakana rehetra izay any an-dafin'ny ony, fa na inona na inona no ilain'i Ezra mpisorona, mpanora-dalàna mahay ny lalàn'Andriamanitry ny lanitra, aminareo, dia tovy marina izany,

Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.

na hatramin'ny talenta volafotsy zato sy ny vary tritika zato kora sy ny divay zato bata sy ny diloilo zato bata ary ny sira tsy misy fatrany aza.

Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

Na inona na inona andidian'Andriamanitry ny lanitra dia aoka hataonao tanteraka avokoa ho an'ny tranon'Andriamanitry ny lanitra; fa nahoana no havela hisy fahatezerana hihatra amin'ny fanjakan'ny mpanjaka sy ny zanany?

Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.

Ary mampahafantatra anareo koa izahay fa ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny Levita sy ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana sy ny Netinima ary ny mpanompo amin'io tranon'Andriamanitra io dia tsy mba hampandoavina hetra, na haba, na sara.

And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.

Ary ianao, ry Ezra, araka ny fahendren'Andriamanitrao izay eo an-tananao, dia manendre mpanapaka sy mpitsara, izay hitsara ny olona rehetra any an-dafin'ny ony, dia izay rehetra mahalala ny lalàn'Andriamanitrao; fa izay tsy mbola mahalala izany dia aoka hampianarinareo.

And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

Ary na iza na iza tsy mety mankatò ny lalan'Andriamanitrao sy ny lalàn'ny mpanjaka, dia aoka hotsaraina marina izy na hovonoina, na horoahina, na hosazina, na hafatotra.

Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:

Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razantsika, Izay efa nanisy izany tao am-pon'ny mpanjaka hahatsara tarehy ny tranon'i Jehovah any Jerosalema.

And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

sady efa nampahazo ahy famindram-po teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka sy ireo mpanolo-tsainy ary ny mpanapaka lehibe rehetra ao amin'ny mpanjaka. Ary dia nampaherezina aho araka ny nomban'ny tanan'i Jehovah Andriamanitro ahy ka nahangona loholona tamin'ny Isiraely mba hiara-miakatra amiko.
