Ezra 7
Ang Biblia (1978)
Si Ezra ay dumating sa Jerusalem.
7 Pagkatapos nga ng mga bagay na ito, sa paghahari ni (A)Artajerjes (B)na hari sa Persia, si Ezra na anak ni Seraias, na anak ni Azarias, na anak ni Hilcias,
2 Na anak ni Sallum, na anak ni Sadoc, na anak ni Achitob,
3 Na anak ni Amarias, na anak ni Azarias, na anak ni Meraioth,
4 Na anak ni Zeraias, na anak ni Uzzi, na anak ni Bucci,
5 Na anak ni Abisue, na anak ni Phinees, na anak ni Eleazar, na anak ni Aaron, na pangulong saserdote:
6 Ang Ezra na ito ay yumaon mula sa Babilonia. At (C)siya'y kalihim na bihasa sa kautusan ni Moises, na ibinigay ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel: at tinulutan siya ng hari sa lahat niyang kahilingan, ayon sa (D)kamay ng Panginoon niyang Dios na sumasa kaniya.
7 (E)At nakiahon sa Jerusalem ang ilan sa mga anak ni Israel, at sa mga saserdote, (F)at sa mga Levita, at sa mga mangaawit, at sa mga tagatanod-pinto, at sa mga (G)Nethineo, sa ikapitong taon ni Artajerjes na hari.
8 At siya'y naparoon sa Jerusalem sa ikalimang buwan, na sa ikapitong taon ng hari.
9 Sapagka't sa unang araw ng unang buwan ay nagpasimula siyang umahon mula sa Babilonia, at sa unang araw ng ikalimang buwan ay dumating siya sa Jerusalem, ayon sa mabuting kamay ng kaniyang Dios na sumasa kaniya.
10 Sapagka't inilagak ni Ezra ang kaniyang puso na hanapin ang kautusan ng Panginoon, at upang gawin, at upang (H)magturo sa Israel ng mga palatuntunan at mga kahatulan.
Ang sulat ni Artajerjes kay Ezra.
11 Ito nga ang salin ng sulat na ibinigay ng haring Artajerjes kay Ezra na saserdote, na kalihim, na kalihim sa mga salita ng mga utos ng Panginoon, at ng kaniyang mga palatuntunan sa Israel.
12 Si Artajerjes, na (I)hari ng mga hari, kay Ezra na saserdote, na kalihim sa kautusan ng Dios ng langit, na sakdal at iba pa.
13 Ako'y gumagawa ng pasiya, na silang lahat na sa bayan ng Israel, at ang kanilang mga saserdote at ang mga Levita, sa aking kaharian, na nagakala ng kanilang sariling kusang kalooban na nagsiparoon sa Jerusalem, ay magsisama sa iyo.
14 Yamang ikaw ay sinugo sa ganang hari at ng kaniyang (J)pitong kasangguni, upang magusisa tungkol sa Juda at Jerusalem, ayon sa kautusan ng iyong Dios na nasa iyong kamay;
15 At dalhin ang pilak at ginto na inihandog na kusa ng hari at ng kaniyang mga kasangguni sa Dios ng Israel, na ang tahanan ay nasa Jerusalem.
16 At ang lahat na pilak at ginto na iyong masusumpungan sa buong lalawigan ng Babilonia, pati ng kusang handog ng bayan, at ng mga saserdote, na mga naghahandog na kusa sa bahay ng kanilang Dios na nasa Jerusalem;
17 Kaya't ibibili mo ng buong sikap ang salaping ito ng mga toro, mga lalaking tupa, mga kordero, pati ng mga (K)handog na harina at ng mga (L)handog na inumin ng mga yaon, at iyong ihahandog sa ibabaw ng dambana ng bahay ng inyong Dios na nasa Jerusalem.
18 At anomang akalain mong mabuti at ng iyong mga kapatid na gawin sa labis sa pilak at ginto, gawin ninyo ayon sa kalooban ng inyong Dios.
19 At ang mga sisidlang nabigay sa iyo na ukol sa paglilingkod sa bahay ng iyong Dios, ibigay mo sa harap ng Dios sa Jerusalem.
20 At anomang kakailanganin pa sa bahay ng iyong Dios, na ipagkakailangan mong ibigay, ibigay mo na mula sa bahay ng kayamanan ng hari.
21 At ako, akong si Artajerjes na hari, nagpasiya sa lahat na mga tagaingat-yaman na nasa dako roon ng Ilog, na anomang hingin sa inyo ni Ezra na saserdote, na kalihim sa kautusan ng Dios ng langit, ibigay ng buong sikap,
22 Hanggang isang daang talentong pilak, at hanggang isang daang takal ng trigo, at isang daang bath ng alak at isang daang bath ng langis, at asin na walang tasa.
23 Anomang iniutos ng Dios ng langit, gawing lubos sa bahay ng Dios ng langit; sapagka't bakit magkakaroon ng poot ng Dios laban sa kaharian ng hari at ng kaniyang mga anak?
24 Pinatototohanan din naman namin sa inyo, na tungkol sa sinoman sa mga saserdote at mga Levita, mga mangaawit, mga tagatanod-pinto, mga Nethineo, o mga lingkod sa bahay na ito ng Dios, ay hindi marapat na lapatan sila ng (M)buwis, kabayaran, o upa.
25 At ikaw, Ezra, ayon sa karunungan ng iyong Dios na nasa iyong kamay, maghalal ka ng mga magistrado, at mga hukom, na makakahatol sa buong bayan na nasa dako roon ng Ilog, niyaong lahat na nakatatalos ng mga kautusan ng iyong Dios; at turuan ninyo yaong hindi nakakaalam.
26 At sinomang hindi tumupad ng kautusan ng iyong Dios, at ng kautusan ng hari, gawin sa kaniya ang kahatulan ng buong sikap, maging sa kamatayan, o sa pagtatapon o sa pagsamsam ng mga pagaari, o sa pagkabilanggo.
27 Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng ating mga magulang, na naglagak ng ganyang mga bagay na gaya nito sa puso ng hari, na pagandahin ang bahay ng Panginoon na nasa Jerusalem:
28 (N)At nagdulot sa akin ng kahabagan sa harap ng hari, at ng kaniyang mga kasangguni, at sa harap ng lahat na may kayang prinsipe ng hari. At ako'y tumibay ayon sa kamay ng Panginoon kong Dios na sumasa akin, at ako'y nagpisan mula sa Israel ng mga pangulong lalake upang magsiahong kasama ko.

Si Ezra ay Dumating sa Jerusalem
7 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, sa paghahari ni Artaxerxes na hari ng Persia, si Ezra na anak ni Seraya, na anak ni Azarias, na anak ni Hilkias,
2 na anak ni Shallum, na anak ni Zadok, na anak ni Ahitub,
3 na anak ni Amarias, na anak ni Azarias, na anak ni Meraiot,
4 na anak ni Zeraias, na anak ni Uzi, na anak ni Buki,
5 na anak ni Abisua, na anak ni Finehas, na anak ni Eleazar, na anak ni Aaron, na punong pari—
6 ang Ezrang ito ay umahon mula sa Babilonia. Siya'y isang eskribang dalubhasa sa kautusan ni Moises na ibinigay ng Panginoong Diyos ng Israel. Ipinagkaloob sa kanya ng hari ang lahat niyang hiniling, sapagkat ang Panginoon niyang Diyos ay kasama niya.
7 At umahon din patungo sa Jerusalem sa ikapitong taon ni Artaxerxes na hari, ang ilan sa mga anak ni Israel, at ilan sa mga pari at mga Levita, ang mga mang-aawit at mga tanod sa pinto, at ang mga lingkod sa templo.
8 Siya'y dumating sa Jerusalem nang ikalimang buwan, sa ikapitong taon ng hari.
9 Sa unang araw ng unang buwan ay nagsimula siyang umahon mula sa Babilonia, at sa unang araw ng ikalimang buwan ay dumating siya sa Jerusalem, sapagkat ang mabuting kamay ng kanyang Diyos ay nasa kanya.
10 Inilagak ni Ezra ang kanyang puso upang saliksikin ang kautusan ng Panginoon, upang sundin ito at ituro sa Israel ang kanyang mga batas at mga tuntunin.
Ang Sulat ni Artaxerxes kay Ezra
11 Ito ang sipi ng sulat na ibinigay ng Haring Artaxerxes kay Ezra na pari, ang eskriba, isang marunong sa mga bagay ng mga utos ng Panginoon at ng kanyang mga alituntunin sa Israel:
12 “Si Artaxerxes, hari ng mga hari, kay Ezra na pari, na kalihim[a] ng kautusan ng Diyos ng langit. At ngayon,
13 ako'y gumagawa ng utos na sinumang kabilang sa bayan ng Israel o ang kanilang mga pari o mga Levita sa aking kaharian na nagnanais pumunta sa Jerusalem, ay maaaring sumama sa iyo.
14 Sapagkat ikaw ay sinugo ng hari at ng kanyang pitong tagapayo upang mag-usisa tungkol sa Juda at Jerusalem ayon sa kautusan ng iyong Diyos na nasa iyong kamay,
15 at upang dalhin din ang pilak at ginto na kusang inihandog ng hari at ng kanyang mga tagapayo sa Diyos ng Israel na ang tahanan ay nasa Jerusalem,
16 kasama ang lahat ng pilak at ginto na iyong matatagpuan sa buong lalawigan ng Babilonia, pati ang kusang-loob na handog ng taong-bayan at ng mga pari na mga kusang-loob na ipinanata para sa bahay ng kanilang Diyos na nasa Jerusalem.
17 Sa pamamagitan ng salaping ito, buong sikap kang bibili ng mga toro, mga lalaking tupa, mga kordero, pati ng mga handog na butil at ng mga inuming handog ng mga iyon, at ang mga iyon ay iyong ihahandog sa ibabaw ng dambana ng bahay ng inyong Diyos na nasa Jerusalem.
18 Anumang inaakala mo at ng iyong mga kapatid na mabuting gawin sa nalabi sa pilak at ginto, maaari ninyong gawin ayon sa kalooban ng inyong Diyos.
19 Ang mga kagamitang ibinigay sa iyo para sa paglilingkod sa bahay ng iyong Diyos ay dalhin mo sa harapan ng Diyos ng Jerusalem.
20 Anumang kakailanganin pa sa bahay ng iyong Diyos na may pagkakataon kang magbigay, ay magbigay ka mula sa kabang-yaman ng hari.
21 “At ako, si Haring Artaxerxes, ay gumagawa ng utos para sa lahat ng ingat-yaman sa lalawigan sa kabila ng Ilog: Anumang hingin sa inyo ni Ezra na pari, na eskriba ng kautusan ng Diyos ng langit ay gawin nang buong sikap,
22 hanggang sa isandaang talentong pilak, isandaang takal ng trigo, isandaang takal[b] na alak, isandaang takal na langis, at asin na walang takdang dami.
23 Anumang iniutos ng Diyos ng langit, gawin ito nang lubos para sa bahay ng Diyos ng langit; baka ang kanyang poot ay maging laban sa kaharian ng hari at ng kanyang mga anak.
24 Ipinagbibigay alam din namin sa inyo na hindi matuwid na patawan ng buwis, buwis sa kalakal, o upa ang sinuman sa mga pari, mga Levita, mga mang-aawit, mga tanod sa pinto, mga lingkod sa templo, o ang iba pang lingkod ng bahay na ito ng Diyos.
25 “At ikaw, Ezra, ayon sa karunungan ng iyong Diyos na taglay mo, humirang ka ng mga mahistrado at mga hukom na makakahatol sa buong bayan sa lalawigan sa kabila ng Ilog, yaong lahat na nakakaalam ng mga kautusan ng iyong Diyos; at yaong mga hindi nakakaalam niyon ay inyong turuan.
26 Sinumang hindi susunod sa kautusan ng iyong Diyos at sa kautusan ng hari, mahigpit na igagawad sa kanya ang hatol, maging sa kamatayan o sa pagtatapon o sa pagsamsam ng kanyang mga ari-arian, o sa pagkabilanggo.”
27 Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Diyos ng ating mga ninuno na naglagay ng ganitong bagay sa puso ng hari, upang pagandahin ang bahay ng Panginoon na nasa Jerusalem;
28 at nagpaabot sa akin ng kanyang tapat na pag-ibig sa harapan ng hari, at ng kanyang mga tagapayo, at sa harapan ng lahat ng mga makapangyarihang pinuno ng hari. Ako'y nagkaroon ng tapang, sapagkat ang kamay ng Panginoon kong Diyos ay nasa akin, at tinipon ko ang mga pangunahing lalaki mula sa Israel upang pumuntang kasama ko.

Ezra Goes Up from Babylon to Jerusalem
7 (A)Now after these things, in the reign of (B)Artaxerxes king of Persia, there went up Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah, 2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub, 3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth, 4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki, 5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the chief priest. 6 This Ezra went up from Babylon, and he was a (C)scribe skilled in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel had given; and the king granted him all [a]he requested (D)because the hand of Yahweh his God was upon him. 7 (E)And some of the sons of Israel and some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. 9 For on the first of the first month [b]he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, (F)because the good hand of his God was upon him. 10 For Ezra had set his heart to [c]study the law of Yahweh and to practice it, and (G)to teach His statute and judgment in Israel.
The King’s Decree on Behalf of Ezra
11 Now this is the copy of the letter which King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, [d]learned in the words of the commandments of Yahweh and His statutes to Israel:
12 “[e]Artaxerxes, (H)king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace. And now—
13 (I)I have issued a decree that any of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my kingdom who freely offer to go to Jerusalem, may go with you.
14 Forasmuch as you are sent from before the king and his (J)seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
15 and to bring the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, (K)whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
16 and (L)all the silver and gold which you find in the whole province of Babylon, along (M)with the freewill offering of the people and of the priests, who (N)offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
17 with this money, therefore, you shall with all diligence buy bulls, rams, and lambs, (O)with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and (P)bring them near to the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 And whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and gold, you may do according to the will of your God.
19 Also the utensils which are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem.
20 The rest of the needs for the house of your God, which may fall upon you to provide, (Q)provide for it from the royal treasury.
21 “So I, even I, King Artaxerxes, issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the provinces beyond the [f]River, that whatever Ezra the priest, (R)the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may ask of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
22 even up to [g]100 talents of silver, [h]100 kors of wheat, [i]100 baths of wine, [j]100 baths of oil, and salt without written order.
23 Whatever is [k]decreed by the God of heaven, let it be done with zeal for the house of the God of heaven, (S)so that there will not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.
24 We also make known to you that (T)it is not allowed to [l]impose tribute, custom, or toll (U)on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.
25 “And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which is in your hand, (V)appoint magistrates and judges that they may judge all the people who are in the province beyond the River, even all those who know the laws of your God; and to anyone who does not know the laws, you shall (W)make them known.
26 (X)Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be done to him with all diligence, whether for death or for [m]banishment or for confiscation of goods or for imprisonment.”
Yahweh Put This in the King’s Heart
27 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of our fathers, (Y)who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem, 28 and (Z)has extended lovingkindness to me before the king and his counselors and before all the king’s mighty princes. Thus I was strengthened according to (AA)the hand of Yahweh my God upon me, and I gathered [n]chief men from Israel to go up with me.

Ezra Comes to Jerusalem
7 After these things, during the reign of Artaxerxes(A) king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah,(B) the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,(C) 2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok,(D) the son of Ahitub,(E) 3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas,(F) the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest— 6 this Ezra(G) came up from Babylon. He was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given. The king had granted(H) him everything he asked, for the hand of the Lord his God was on him.(I) 7 Some of the Israelites, including priests, Levites, musicians, gatekeepers and temple servants, also came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.(J)
8 Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king. 9 He had begun his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was on him.(K) 10 For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching(L) its decrees and laws in Israel.
King Artaxerxes’ Letter to Ezra
11 This is a copy of the letter King Artaxerxes had given to Ezra the priest, a teacher of the Law, a man learned in matters concerning the commands and decrees of the Lord for Israel:
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings,(M)
To Ezra the priest, teacher of the Law of the God of heaven:
Greetings.
13 Now I decree that any of the Israelites in my kingdom, including priests and Levites, who volunteer to go to Jerusalem with you, may go. 14 You are sent by the king and his seven advisers(N) to inquire about Judah and Jerusalem with regard to the Law of your God, which is in your hand. 15 Moreover, you are to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his advisers have freely given(O) to the God of Israel, whose dwelling(P) is in Jerusalem, 16 together with all the silver and gold(Q) you may obtain from the province of Babylon, as well as the freewill offerings of the people and priests for the temple of their God in Jerusalem.(R) 17 With this money be sure to buy bulls, rams and male lambs,(S) together with their grain offerings and drink offerings,(T) and sacrifice(U) them on the altar of the temple of your God in Jerusalem.
18 You and your fellow Israelites may then do whatever seems best with the rest of the silver and gold, in accordance with the will of your God. 19 Deliver(V) to the God of Jerusalem all the articles entrusted to you for worship in the temple of your God. 20 And anything else needed for the temple of your God that you are responsible to supply, you may provide from the royal treasury.(W)
21 Now I, King Artaxerxes, decree that all the treasurers of Trans-Euphrates are to provide with diligence whatever Ezra the priest, the teacher of the Law of the God of heaven, may ask of you— 22 up to a hundred talents[a] of silver, a hundred cors[b] of wheat, a hundred baths[c] of wine, a hundred baths[d] of olive oil, and salt without limit. 23 Whatever the God of heaven has prescribed, let it be done with diligence for the temple of the God of heaven. Why should his wrath fall on the realm of the king and of his sons?(X) 24 You are also to know that you have no authority to impose taxes, tribute or duty(Y) on any of the priests, Levites, musicians, gatekeepers, temple servants or other workers at this house of God.(Z)
25 And you, Ezra, in accordance with the wisdom of your God, which you possess, appoint(AA) magistrates and judges to administer justice to all the people of Trans-Euphrates—all who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach(AB) any who do not know them. 26 Whoever does not obey the law of your God and the law of the king must surely be punished by death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.[e](AC)
27 Praise be to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who has put it into the king’s heart(AD) to bring honor(AE) to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in this way 28 and who has extended his good favor(AF) to me before the king and his advisers and all the king’s powerful officials. Because the hand of the Lord my God was on me,(AG) I took courage and gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me.

7 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
2 The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
3 The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
4 The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
5 The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
6 This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him.
7 And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9 For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his statutes to Israel.
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time.
13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;
15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem:
17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.
19 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
20 And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
22 Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem:
28 And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the Lord my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
