Ezra 3

And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

Na, i te takanga mai o te whitu o nga marama, a i nga pa nga tama a Iharaira, me te mea he tangata kotahi te iwi ki te huihui ki Hiruharama.

Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

Katahi ka tu a Hehua tama a Iohereke ki runga, me ona teina, nga tohunga, me Herupapera tama a Haratiera, me ona teina, a hanga ana e ratou te aata a te Atua o Iharaira, hei whakaekenga mo nga tahunga tinana, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi, a ta te Atua tangata.

And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

Na whakaturia ana e ratou te aata ki tona turanga; i wehi hoki ratou i nga tangata o aua whenua: a whakaekea atu ana e ratou ki runga nga tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, nga tahunga tinana o te ata, o te ahiahi.

They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;

I mahia ano e ratou te hakari tihokahoka, tera i tuhituhia ra; i whakaekea ano nga tahunga tinana o tenei ra, o tenei ra, rite tonu te maha, rite tonu nga tikanga, ko nga mea mo tenei ra i tenei ra.

And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.

A muri iho ko nga tahunga tinana tuturu, ko o nga kowhititanga marama, ko o nga wa katoa i whakaritea e Ihowa, he mea whakatapu nana, me a te hunga katoa i tapae noa i te whakahere ki a Ihowa.

From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.

No te ra tuatahi o te whitu o nga marama i timata ai te whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa: otiia kahore ano te turanga mo te temepara o Ihowa kia takoto noa.

They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

Na i haotu e ratou he hiriwa ki nga kaimahi katoa, ki nga kamura; a me etahi mea hei kai; hei inu, me te hinu ma nga Haironi, ma nga Tairani, hei mea mo etahi rakau hita kia kawea mai i Repanona ki te moana, ki Hopa, kia rite ai ki te kupu homai a Hairuha kingi o Pahia ki a ratou.

Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

Na i te rua o nga tau o to ratou taenga ki te whare o te Atua, ki Hiruharama, i te rua o nga marama, ka timata a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, me Hehua tama a Iohereke, me era atu o o ratou teina, o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, me te hunga katoa i maunu mai i te whakarau ki Hiruharama; i whakaritea ano e raua nga Riwaiti, te hunga e rua tekau, maha atu ranei, o ratou tau, hei kaitirotiro i te mahinga o te whare o Ihowa.

Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

Katahi ka tu a Hehua me ana tama, me ona teina, a Karamiere me ana tama, me nga tama hoki a Hura, ano he tangata kotahi, hei kaitirotiro i nga kaimahi o te whare o te Atua: ko nga tama a Henarara, ratou ko a ratou tama, ko o ratou teina, ko nga R iwaiti.

And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

Na i te whakatakotoranga a nga kaimahi i te turanga o te temepara o Ihowa, ka whakaturia nga tohunga, kakahu rawa nga kakahu, he tetere ano kei a ratou, me nga Riwaiti, nga tama a Ahapa e mau himipora ana, hei whakamoemiti mo Ihowa, hei pera me ta Rawiri kingi o Iharaira i whakarite ai.

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

Na ka waiata ratou tetahi ki tetahi, ka whakamoemiti, ka whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, me te mea, He pai hoki ia, a he mau tonu tana mahi tohu ki a Iharaira. Na hamama katoa ana te iwi, he nui te hamama; ka whakamomemiti ki a Ihowa, no te mea ka takot o te turanga o te whare o Ihowa.

But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:

Na he tokomaha o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua, he koroheke, i kite i te whare tuatahi, no to ratou kitenga i te turanga mo tenei whare i to ratou aroaro, ka tangi, he nui te reo; a he tokomaha i hamama te reo i te koa:

So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Na kihai te reo o te hamama koa i taea e te iwi te wehe i roto i te reo o te iwi e tangi ana: he nui hoki te hamama i hamama ai te iwi, ka rangona te reo i tawhiti.
