¹[Ny nanombohana ny raharaham-pivavahana indray, sy ny nanorenana ny tempoly] Ary nony tonga ny volana fahafito, rehefa tafapetraka teny amin'ny tanànany avy ny Zanak'Isiraely, dia nivory tany Jerosalema toy ny olona iray izy.

¹When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

²Dia nitsangana Jesoa, zanak'i Jozadaka, sy ny mpisorona rahalahiny ary Zerobabela, zanak'i Sealtiela, sy ny rahalahiny ka nanorina ny alitaran'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hanaterana fanatitra dorana eo amboniny, araka izay voasoratra ao amin'ny lalàn'i Mosesy, lehilahin'Andriamanitra.

²Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built 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.

³Dia naoriny teo amin'ilay efa niorenany ihany ny alitara, satria natahotra ny tompon-tany izy, ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana teo amboniny ho an'i Jehovah izy, dia ny fanatitra dorana marain-tsy hariva.

³In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

⁴Ary nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana ao amin'ny trano rantsan-kazo koa izy, araka ny voasoratra, sy ny amin'ny fanatitra dorana isan'andro araka ny isany avy, tahaka ny fanao, araka izay voatendry hatao isan'andro avy.

⁴They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;

⁵Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanatitra ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva izy sy ilay fanao amin'ny voaloham-bolana sy amin'ny fotoam-pivavahana nohamasinina rehetra izay voatendrin'i Jehovah ary ny avy amin'izay rehetra nanatitra fanati-tsitrapo ho an'i Jehovah.

⁵and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.

⁶Tamin'ny andro voalohany tamin'ny volana fahafito no niantomboka nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an'i Jehovah izy. Nefa tsy mbola natao ny fanorenan'ny tempolin'i Jehovah.

⁶From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was not yet laid.

⁷Ary nomeny vola ny mpipai-bato sy ny mpandrafitra, ary ny any Tyro sy ny any Sidona dia nomeny zavatra hohanina sy hosotroina sy diloilo mba hitondrany hazo sedera avy any Libanona hatramin'ny ranomasina any Jopa, araka ny teny efa azony tamin'i Kyrosy, mpanjakan'i Persia.

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

⁸Ary tamin'ny volana faharoa tamin'ny taona faharoa taorian'ny nahatongavany tany amin'ny tranon'Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema dia niantomboka Zerobabela, zanak'i Sealtiela, sy Jesoa, zanak'i Jozadaka, mbamin'ny rahalahiny sisa, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary izay rehetra tonga tany Jerosalema avy tany amin'ny fahababoana, ka nanendry ny Levita izay hatramin'ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy ho tonian'ny asa amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah.

⁸Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh’s house.

⁹Dia niara-nitsangana Jesoa sy ny zanany ary ny rahalahiny, ary Kadmiela sy ny zanany, zanak'i Joda, ho tonian'ny mpiasa tamin'ny tranon'Andriamanitra, ary ny zanak'i Henadada koa mbamin'ny zanany sy ny Levita rahalahiny.

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

¹⁰Ary rehefa naorin'ny mpiasa ny tempolin'i Jehovah, dia nasainy hidera an'i Jehovah ny mpisorona, sady niakanjo ny akanjony sy nitondra trompetra, ary ny Levita, zanak'i Asafa, kosa nitondra kipantsona, araka ny nandidian'i Davida, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

¹⁰When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.

¹¹Dia nanao hira nifamalivaly nidera sy nisaotra an'i Jehovah izy, fa tsara Izy, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony amin'ny Isiraely. Dia nihoby mafy ny olona rehetra, raha nidera an'i Jehovah, satria vita ny fanorenan'ny tranon'i Jehovah.

¹¹They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh had been laid.

¹²Nefa maro ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny lohan'ny fianakaviana, dia ny antitra izay efa nahita ny trano voalohany, no nitomany mafy dia mafy, nony naorina teo imasony izany trano izany; nefa maro kosa no nanandratra ny feony nihoby sy nifaly;ka dia tsy fantatry ny olona izay fifaliana na izay fitomaniana noho izany horakoraka be izany, fa nihoby mafy ny olona, ka re lavitra ny horakoraka.

¹²But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,

¹³ka dia tsy fantatry ny olona izay fifaliana na izay fitomaniana noho izany horakoraka be izany, fa nihoby mafy ny olona, ka re lavitra ny horakoraka.

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 far away.
