Ang Pagpatindog sang Bag-o nga Halaran

Sang pag-abot sang ikapito nga bulan, sang nagaestar na ang mga Israelinhon sa ila mga banwa, nagtipon sila tanan sa Jerusalem nga may pag-isa. Dayon ginpatindog liwat ang halaran sang Dios sang Israel agod mahalaran ini sang mga halad nga ginasunog, suno sa nakasulat sa Kasuguan ni Moises nga iya alagad. Ang nagpatindog sini amo sila ni Jeshua[a] nga anak ni Jozadak kag ang iya kapareho nga mga pari, kag si Zerubabel nga anak ni Shealtiel kag ang iya mga paryente. Bisan[b] nahadlok sila sa mga tawo nga nagaestar na nga daan sa sina nga duta,[c] ginpatindog nila ang halaran sa ginpatindugan man sini anay. Dayon naghalad sila sa Ginoo sang mga halad nga ginasunog aga kag sirom.[d]

Ginsaulog man nila ang Piesta sang Pagpatindog sang mga Payag suno sa nakasulat sa Kasuguan ni Moises. Kag naghalad sila sang mga halad nga ginasunog, nga ginakinahanglan nga ihalad sa kada adlaw sang sini nga piesta. Wala labot sa mga halad nga ginasunog nga ginahalad nila aga kag hapon, naghalad man sila sang mga halad sa kada Piesta sang Pag-umpisa sang Bulan kag sa iban pa nga mga piesta sa pagsimba sa Ginoo. Kag naghalad man sila sing kinabubut-on nga mga halad para sa Ginoo. Bisan wala pa naumpisahan ang pagpatindog liwat sang templo sang Ginoo, nagsugod na ang mga Israelinhon sa paghalad sang mga halad nga ginasunog sang nahauna nga adlaw sang ikapito nga bulan sang sadto nga tuig.

Ginpatindog Liwat ang Templo

Naghatag ang mga Israelinhon sang kuwarta nga ibayad sa mga manugbasbas sang bato kag sa mga panday. Naghatag man sila sang mga pagkaon, ilimnon, kag lana nga ibayad sa mga taga-Sidon kag taga-Tyre para sa mga kahoy nga sedro nga halin sa Lebanon. Ini nga mga kahoy ikarga sa mga barko kag dal-on sa Jopa. Gintugutan ini ni Haring Cyrus sang Persia.

Gin-umpisahan ang pagpatindog sang templo sang ikaduha nga bulan sang ikaduha nga tuig halin sang nakabalik ang mga Israelinhon sa Jerusalem. Nagbuylog sa pag-obra ang tanan nga nakabalik sa Jerusalem halin sa pagkabihag, lakip na diri sila ni Zerubabel nga anak ni Shealtiel, Jeshua nga anak ni Jozadak kag ang iya kapareho nga mga pari, kag ang mga Levita. Ang gintugyanan sa pagdumala sa pagpatindog sang templo sang Ginoo amo ang mga Levita nga nagaedad 20 ka tuig paibabaw. Sila amo si Jeshua,[e] ang iya mga anak kag mga paryente, si Kadmiel kag ang iya mga anak. Sila tanan mga kaliwat ni Juda.[f] Nagbuylog man sa ila ang mga kaliwat kag mga paryente ni Henadad nga mga Levita man.

10 Sang natapos na sang mga manug-obra ang pundasyon sang templo sang Ginoo, nagplastar ang mga pari sa pagpatunog sang mga trumpeta. Ini sila nakasuksok sang ila mga bayo bilang mga pari. Nagplastar man ang mga Levita, nga mga kaliwat ni Asaf, sa pagtukar sang mga simbals agod dayawon ang Ginoo suno sa pamaagi nga gintudlo sadto ni Haring David sang Israel. 11 Dayon nagdayaw kag nagpasalamat sila sa Ginoo, nga nagakanta sang, “Maayo gid ang Ginoo, kay ang iya gugma sa Israel wala sing katapusan.” Dayon nagsinggit sing mabaskog ang tanan nga tawo sa pagdayaw sa Ginoo tungod kay natapos na ang pundasyon sang templo. 12 Madamo didto sang mga tigulang nga mga pari, mga Levita, kag mga pangulo sang mga pamilya nga nakakita sadto sang una nga templo. Ini sila naghibi sing tudo sang makita nila ang pundasyon sang bag-o nga templo. Pero madamo nga mga tawo didto ang nagsinggit sa kalipay. 13 Indi na mahibaluan ang singgit sang kalipay kag ang singgit sang paghibi tungod kay puwerte gid katudo ang ginahod sang mga tawo, kag mabatian ini sa malayo.

Rebuilding the Altar

When the seventh month came and the Israelites had settled in their towns,(A) the people assembled(B) together as one in Jerusalem. Then Joshua(C) son of Jozadak(D) and his fellow priests and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel(E) and his associates began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, in accordance with what is written in the Law of Moses(F) the man of God. Despite their fear(G) of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening sacrifices.(H) Then in accordance with what is written, they celebrated the Festival of Tabernacles(I) with the required number of burnt offerings prescribed for each day. After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings, the New Moon(J) sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred festivals of the Lord,(K) as well as those brought as freewill offerings to the Lord. On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, though the foundation of the Lord’s temple had not yet been laid.

Rebuilding the Temple

Then they gave money to the masons and carpenters,(L) and gave food and drink and olive oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, so that they would bring cedar logs(M) by sea from Lebanon(N) to Joppa, as authorized by Cyrus(O) king of Persia.

In the second month(P) of the second year after their arrival at the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel(Q) son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak and the rest of the people (the priests and the Levites and all who had returned from the captivity to Jerusalem) began the work. They appointed Levites twenty(R) years old and older to supervise the building of the house of the Lord. Joshua(S) and his sons and brothers and Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Hodaviah[a]) and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together in supervising those working on the house of God.

10 When the builders laid(T) the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets,(U) and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise(V) the Lord, as prescribed by David(W) king of Israel.(X) 11 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord:

“He is good;
    his love toward Israel endures forever.”(Y)

And all the people gave a great shout(Z) of praise to the Lord, because the foundation(AA) of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple,(AB) wept(AC) aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. 13 No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy(AD) from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise. And the sound was heard far away.

  1. Ezra 3:9 Hebrew Yehudah, a variant of Hodaviah

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

10 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.

11 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.

12 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:

13 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.
