¹And 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.

¹Kui seitsmes kuu kätte jõudis ja Iisraeli lapsed olid juba oma linnades, kogunes rahvas nagu üks mees Jeruusalemma.

²Then 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.

²Ja Jeesua, Joosadaki poeg, ja tema vennad preestrid ja Serubbaabel, Sealtieli poeg, ja tema vennad võtsid kätte ja ehitasid üles Iisraeli Jumala altari, et selle peal ohverdada põletusohvreid, nõnda nagu jumalamehe Moosese Seaduses on kirjutatud.

³And they set the altar upon its base; for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries: and they offered burnt-offerings thereon unto Jehovah, even burnt-offerings morning and evening.

³Nad ehitasid altari selle endisesse kohta, kuigi maa elanikud olid nende vastu vaenulikud; ja nad ohverdasid selle peal Issandale põletusohvreid, hommikusi ja õhtusi põletusohvreid.

⁴And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;

⁴Ja nad pidasid lehtmajadepüha, nagu oli ette kirjutatud, ja ohverdasid igapäevaseid põletusohvreid vastaval arvul, nagu igaks päevaks oli määratud;

⁵and afterward the continual burnt-offering, and [the offerings] of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill-offering unto Jehovah.

⁵ja seejärel korralisi põletusohvreid, noorkuu- ja kõigi Issanda pühitsetud pühade ohvreid, ja kõigi nende ohvreid, kes tõid Issandale vabatahtliku ohvri.

⁶From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah: but the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not yet laid.

⁶Seitsmenda kuu esimesest päevast alates hakkasid nad Issandale põletusohvreid ohverdama, kuigi Issanda templile ei olnud veel alust pandud.

⁷They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto them of Sidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, unto Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

⁷Ja nad andsid raha kiviraiujaile ja puuseppadele, ning toitu, jooki ja õli siidonlastele ja tüüroslastele, et nad tooksid seedripuid Liibanonist mere äärde Jaafosse Pärsia kuninga Koorese loal, mis neile oli antud.

⁸Now 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 rest 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 have the oversight of the work of the house of Jehovah.

⁸Ja teisel aastal pärast nende jõudmist Jumala koja juurde Jeruusalemma, teises kuus, tegid alguse Serubbaabel, Sealtieli poeg, ja Jeesua, Joosadaki poeg, ja nende muud vennad, preestrid ja leviidid ja kõik, kes vangist olid tulnud Jeruusalemma, ja seadsid kahekümneaastasi ja vanemaid leviite Issanda koja tööd juhatama.

⁹Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

⁹Ja Jeesua, tema pojad ja vennad, Kadmiel ja tema pojad, Juuda järeltulijad, asusid nagu üks mees juhatama neid, kes tegid Jumala koja tööd; nõndasamuti Heenadadi pojad, nende pojad ja nende vennad leviidid.

¹⁰And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, after the order of David king of Israel.

¹⁰Ja kui ehitajad Issanda templile alust panid, siis astusid ette ametirüüs preestrid pasunatega, ja leviidid, Aasafi pojad, simblitega, et Iisraeli kuninga Taaveti korra järgi Issandat kiita.

¹¹And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto Jehovah, [saying], For he is good, for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.

¹¹Ja nad laulsid Issandat kiites ning tänades: 'Sest tema on hea, sest tema heldus kestab igavesti Iisraeli vastu!' Ja kogu rahvas tõstis suurt rõõmukisa Issandat kiites, et Issanda kojale oli alus pandud.

¹²But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' [houses], the old 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:

¹²Aga paljud preestritest ja leviitidest ning perekondade peameestest, vanad, kes olid endist koda näinud, nutsid suure häälega, kui sellele kojale nende silma all alus pandi; ent paljud tõstsid rõõmuga hõisates häält.

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 noise was heard afar off.

¹³Ja ükski ei suutnud vahet teha rõõmuhõiskehääle ja nutuhääle vahel, sest rahvas tõstis suurt rõõmukisa ja hääl kostis kaugele.
