Ezra 1: The end of the Babylonian Captivity - Parent Category: Ezra: Rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem - Category: Ezra1-3: Rebuilding the Temple Commissioned Ezra 1 End of the Babylonian Captivity 1Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 2Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. 5Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits God had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 6And all those who were around them encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. 7King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the temple of his gods; 8and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, 10thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. 11All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.

but they could not identify their father’s house or their genealogy, whether they were of Israel: 60the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, and the sons of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two; 61and of the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, and the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name. 62These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled. 63And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim. 64The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, 65besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven;

Ezra 3: Restoration of the Temple Begins - Parent Category: Ezra: Rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem - Category: Ezra1-3: Rebuilding the Temple Commissioned Ezra 3 Worship Restored at Jerusalem 3And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings. 4They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day. 5Afterwards they offered the regular burnt offering, and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the Lord. 6From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not been laid. 7They also gave money to the masons and the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the permission which they had from Cyrus king of Persia. Restoration of the Temple Begins 8Now in the second month of the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began work and appointed the Levites from twenty years old and above to oversee the work of the house of the Lord. 9Then Jeshua with his sons and brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, and the sons of Judah, arose as one to oversee those working on the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brethren the Levites. 10When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel. 11And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever toward Israel.” Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes. Yet many shouted aloud for joy, 13so 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 sound was heard afar off. Ezra 4: Resistance to Rebuilding the Temple - Parent Category: Ezra: Rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem - Category: Ezra 4-6: Temple Completed Ezra 4 Resistance to Rebuilding the Temple 4Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the descendants of the captivity were building the temple of the Lord God of Israel, 2they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers’ houses, and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.” 3But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers’ houses of Israel said to them, “You may do nothing with us to build a house for our God; but we alone will build to the Lord God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.” 4Then the people of the land tried to discourage the people of Judah. They troubled them in building, 5and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. Rebuilding of Jerusalem Opposed 6In the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 7In the days of Artaxerxes also, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabel, and the rest of their companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the letter was written in Aramaic script, and translated into the Aramaic language. 8Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes in this fashion: 9From Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions—representatives of the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the people of Persia and Erech and Babylon and Shushan, the Dehavites, the Elamites, 10and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnapper took captive and settled in the cities of Samaria and the remainder beyond the River—and so forth. 11(This is a copy of the letter that they sent him.) To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the region beyond the River, and so forth: 12Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the rebellious and evil city, and are finishing its walls and repairing the foundations. 13Let it now be known to the king that, if this city is built and the walls completed, they will not pay tax, tribute, or custom, and the king’s treasury will be diminished. 14Now because we receive support from the palace, it was not proper for us to see the king’s dishonor; therefore we have sent and informed the king, 15that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed. 16We inform the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, the result will be that you will have no dominion beyond the River. 17The king sent an answer: To Rehum the commander, to Shimshai the scribe, to the rest of their companions who dwell in Samaria, and to the remainder beyond the River: Peace, and so forth. 18The letter which you sent to us has been clearly read before me. 19And I gave the command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been fostered in it. 20There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all the region beyond the River; and tax, tribute, and custom were paid to them. 21Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me. 22Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings? 23Now when the copy of King Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem against the Jews, and by force of arms made them cease. 24Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

अध्याय 3 जब सातौं महीना आयो अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूको शहरहरूमा थिए, समस्त मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा एकै साथ भेला भए। 2 योसादाकको छोरा येशूअ अनि तिनका संगी पूजाहारी र शालतीएलका छोरा यरूबाबेल अनि तिनका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको बेदी पुन निर्माण गर्न शुरू गरे, जसमा कि तिनीहरूले, परमेश्वरका मानिस मोशाको निर्देशनमा लेखिए जस्तै गरी त्यसमा होमबलिहरूको बलिदान अर्पण गर्न सकुन्। 3 तिनीहरूले त्यो वेदी त्यसको खास घडेरीमा निर्माण गरे किनभने तिनीहरू आफ्ना वरिपरिका मानिसहरूसित डराएका थिए। अनि तिनीहरूले त्यसमा विहान बेलुकी दुवै पटक अर्पणहरू होमबलिहरु अर्पण गरे। 4 तब तिनीहरूले छाप्रो बासको चाड नियममा लेखिए अनुसार मनाए। तिनीहरूले चाडको प्रत्येक दिनको निम्ति आवश्यक अनुसार ठीक संख्यामा होमबलि अर्पण गरे। 5 अनि त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले नियमित होमबलिहरू र तोकिएका दिनमा परमप्रभुका तोकिएका सबै पवित्र उत्सवका निम्ति अर्पणहरू चढाए। अनि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई स्वेच्छाले बलिदानहरू अर्पण गरे। 6 सातौं महिनाको पहिलोदिन परमप्रभुलाई होमबलि चढाउन शुरू गरे। 7 यद्यपि तिनीहरूले त्यसबेला सम्म परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसाएका थिएनन्। तब तिनीहरूले (मानिसहरू जो फर्की आएका थिए) डकर्मीहरूलाई सिकर्मीहरूलाई पैसा दिए भोजन, पिउने पदार्थ अनि भद्राक्षेको तेल सीदोन र सोरका मानिसहरूलाई दिए जसद्वार तिनीहरूले लबानोन समुद्रद्वारा योप्पामा देवदारका मूढाहरू ल्याउनेछन्। फारसका राजा कोरेसको अनुमति लिएर यसो गरियो। 8 दोस्रोवर्षको दोस्रो महिनामा शालतीएलका छोरा यरूबाबेल अनि योशादाकका छोरा येशूअले आफ्ना अन्य मानिसहरू, पूजाहारीहरू, लेवीहरू कैदबाट यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आए पछि यरूशलेम आउनेहरूले एकसाथ काम शुरू गरे। 9 परमप्रभुको मन्दिर निर्माण कार्यको निरीक्षकको रूपमा काम गर्नका निम्ति 20 वर्ष अधिक उमेरका लेवीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरे। येशूअ, तिनका छोराहरू अनि तिनका दाज्यू-भाइहरू, कदमीएल अनि तिनका छोराहरू (यहूदाका सन्तानहरू) बिन्नूई होदबियाहका छोराहरू अनि नातीहरू र तिनीहरूका भाइहरू-लेवीहरूसंग परमेश्वको मन्दिरमा काम गर्नेहरूको निरक्षण गर्न सहमत भए। 10 जब निर्माणकर्त्ताहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसाए तब पूजाहारीहरूले आफ्ना विशेष वस्त्र लगाएर हातमा तुरही लिए अनि लेवीहरूले आफ्ना झ्याम्टाहरूको साथ, इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदको निर्देश अनुसार परमप्रभुको स्तुति गर्न आफ्नो स्थान ग्रहन गरे। 11 आनि तिनीहरूले प्रत्युत्तर गीतहरू, स्तुतिगीत अनि परमप्रभुको स्तुति गरे किनभने, उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ। 12 “किनभने इस्राएलप्रति उहाँको विश्वासमय प्रेम सदा-सर्वदा रहिरहन्छ।” अनि समस्त मानिसहरू परमप्रभुको स्तुति गर्न जोडले कराए, किनभने परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालिएको थियो। तर धेरै अगुवा पूजाहारीहरू, लेवीहरू अनि कुलका अगुवाहरू जसले अघिको मन्दिर देखेका थिए, ती रोए। 13 जब तिनीहरूले यो मन्दिरको जग बसालिएको देखे। यद्यपि धेरै खुशीले जोड सँग कराए। यसर्थ कसैले पनि खुशीको कराई अनि रूवाइको आवाज छुट्याउन सकेनन्। किनभने मानिसहरूले यति साह्रो हल्ला मच्चाइरहेका थिए कि त्यो आवाज टाढा-टाढा सम्म सुनिन्थ्यो।
