Ipapo mambo Dhariusi akaraira, vakanzvera paimba yamabhuku, pavaichengeta fuma paBhabhironi.Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Vakawana paAkimeta, paimba yamambo, yakanga iri parutivi rwenyika yeMedhia, rugwaro rwakapetwa makanga makanyorwa kudai kuti varangarire,And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
Pagore rokutanga ramambo Koreshi, mambo Koreshi akaraira, achiti, `Kana iri imba yaMwari paJerusaremu, imba ngaivakwe, pave pavangabayira zvibayiro, nenheyo dzayo dziteyiwe nesimba; kukwirira kwayo kusvike makubhiti ana makumi matanhatu, nokufara kwayo makubhiti ana makumi matanhatu;In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
ngaive nemisara mitatu yamabwe makuru, nomusara mumwe wamatanda matsva; mari yokuvaka nayo ngaitorwe paimba yamambo.With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expences be given out of the king’s house:
Nemidziyo yendarama nesirivha yeimba yaMwari, yakadeya kutorwa naNebhukadhinezari patemberi paJerusaremu, ikaiswa naye Bhabhironi, ngaidzoswe, iiswezve patemberi iri Jerusaremu, chimwe nechimwe panzvimbo yacho, mugozviisa muimba yaMwari.'And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.
Naizvozvo zvino imi Tatenai mubati wenyika mhiri kworwizi, naShetaribhozenai, namakurukota avaAfarisaki, imi muri mhiri kworwizi, chibvai ipapo;Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
varegei pabasa reimba yaMwari; mubati wavaJudha navakuru vavaJudha ngavavake imba iyi yaMwari panzvimbo yayo.Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.
Uye ndinoraira zvamunofanira kuitira vakuru ava vavaJudha, kuti imba iyi yaMwari ivakwe, mari yokuvaka nayo ngaitorwe pafuma yamambo, pamutero unoripwa mhiri kworwizi, ikurumidze kupiwa varume avo, kuti varege kudziviswa.Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expences be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Uye zvose zvavanoshaiwa, kana nzombe duku, kana makondohwe, kana makwayana, zvokuita nazvo zvipiriso zvinopisirwa Mwari wokudenga, kana zviyo, kana munyu, kana waini, kana mafuta, sezvinotaura vapirisiti vari Jerusaremu, ngavapiwe izvozvo zuva rimwe nerimwe, musingadariki;And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
kuti vagone kuvigira Mwari wokudenga zvibayiro zvinonhuwira zvakanaka, vanyengetererewo upenyu hwamambo, nohwavanakomana vake.That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Ndatemawo chirevo, kuti ani naani anoshandura shoko iri, bango ribviswe paimba yake, iye aturikwe aroverwe pariri; uye imba yake iitwe durunhuru pamusoro pechinhu ichi;Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Mwari, akagarisa zita rake ipapo, ngaaparadze madzimambo ose avanhu vachatambanudza maoko avo kushandura chinhu ichi, nokuparadza imba iyi yaMwari iri paJerusaremu. Ini Dhariusi ndatema chirevo ichi; ngazviitwe nokukurumidza.And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
Ipapo Tatenai mubati wenyika mhiri kworwizi, naShetaribhozenai, namakurukota avo, vakaita izvozvo nokukurumidza, nemhaka yeshoko rakanga ratumwa namambo Dhariusi.Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Vakuru vavaJudha vakavaka, vakapfuurira mberi zvakanaka, vachisimbiswa nokuporofita kwaHagai, muporofita, naZekariya mwanakomana waldho. Vakavaka, vakaipedza, sezvakarairwa naMwari waIsiraeri, uye nechirevo chaKoreshi, naDhariusi, naAritashasita mambo wePerisia.And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Imba iyi ikapedzwa nezuva retatu romwedzi weAdhari pagore retanhatu rokubata ushe kwamambo Dhariusi.And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Vana vaIsiraeri navapirisiti, navaRevhi, navamwe vakanga vatapwa vakatsaurira Mwari imba iyi nomufaro.And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
Vakabayira pakutsaura imba iyi yaMwari nzombe dzine zana rimwe, namakondobwe ana mazana maviri, namakwayana ana mazana mana; uye nhongo dzembudzi dzine gumi nembiri, dzakaenzana namarudzi avaIsiraeri, chive chipiriso chezvivi chavaIsiraeri vose.And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Vakagadza vapirisiti pamakamu avo, navaRevhi pamapoka avo, pabasa raMwari paJerusaremu; sezvakanga zvanyorwa pabhuku yaMozisi.And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Vatapwa vakaita Pasika nezuva regumi namana romwedzi wokutanga.And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
Nokuti vapirisiti navaRevhi vakanga vazvinatsa nomoyo mumwe, vose vavo vakanga vanatswa; vakabayira vatapwa vose Pasika, nehama dzavo dzavapirisiti, naivo vamene.For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ipapo vana vaIsiraeri, vakanga vadzoka pakutapwa, vakadya, ivo navose vakanga vazvitsaurira kwavari vachibva pamatsvina avahedheni venyika iyo, kuti vatsvake Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri;And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
vakaita mutambo wezvingwa zvisina kuviriswa mazuva manomwe; nokuti Jehovha akanga avafadza, akarereudzira moyo wamambo weAsiria kwavari, kuti asimbise maoko avo pabasa reimba yaMwari waIsiraeri.And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
