6 Katahi ka puaki ta Tariuha tikanga, a ka rapua i roto i te whare pukapuka, kei reira nei nga taonga e rongoa ana i Papurona.
2 Na kua kitea ki Akameta, i roto i te whare kingi i te whenua o nga Meri, he pukapuka, me tetahi kupu whakamahara i tuhituhia ki roto; koia tenei:
3 I te tuatahi o nga tau o Kingi Hairuha i puaki ta Kingi Hairuha tikanga; Mo te whare o te Atua i Hiruharama, Me hanga te whare, te wahi e patua ai nga patunga tapu, kia u ano hoki te whakatakoto o nga turanga; kia ono tekau whatianga te tiketike, kia ono tekau whatianga te whanui;
4 Kia toru nga rarangi o nga kohatu nunui, kia kotahi hoki rarangi o te rakau hou: me hoatu ano nga utu i roto i te whare o te kingi;
5 Me whakahoki ano nga oko koura, hiriwa, o te whare o te Atua, i tangohia nei e Nepukaneha i roto i te temepara i Hiruharama, i kawea nei ki Papurona; me kawe ano ki te temepara i Hiruharama, ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi, me whakatakoto e koe ki te whare o te Atua.
6 Na, e Tatenai, e te kawana i tera taha o te awa, e Hetara Potenai, me o koutou hoa, me nga Aparahaki, i tera taha o te awa, kia matara mai koutou i reira.
7 Waiho noa atu te mahi o tena whare o te Atua. Waiho atu te kawana o nga Hurai, ratou ko nga kaumatua o nga Hurai, kia mahi ana i tena whare o te Atua i tona wahi.
8 Tenei ano tetahi tikanga aku mo ta koutou e mea ai ki aua kaumatua o nga Hurai, hei mea mo te hanganga o tenei whare o te Atua: kia hohoro te hoatu i etahi o nga taonga o te kingi, ara o te takoha i tera taha o te awa, ki ena tangata, hei utu mea, kei whakawarea ratou.
9 Na, ko nga mea e kore ana i a ratou, nga kuao puru, nga hipi toa, nga reme hei tahunga tinana ma te Atua o te rangi, te witi, te tote, te waina, te hinu, nga mea e whakaritea e nga tohunga i Hiruharama, kei mahue te hoatu ki a ratou i tena ra, i tena ra;
10 Kia whakaherea ai e ratou etahi whakahere kakara ki te Atua o te rangi, kia inoi ai mo te kingi, mo ana tama, kia ora.
11 Kua hanga ano hoki e ahau he tikanga, ki te whakaputaia ketia tenei kupu e tetahi, kia unuhia he kurupae i tona whare, a ka whakairi i a ia, ka tarona ai ki runga; kia meinga ano tona whare hei puranga paru, hei utu mo tena.
12 Na ma te Atua nana nei i mea kia noho tona ingoa ki reira, e huna nga kingi katoa, me nga iwi, ina totoro o ratou ringa ki te whakaputa ke, ki te whakangaro i tena whare o te Atua i Hiruharama. Naku, na Tariuha te tikanga i whakatakoto; kia hoho ro te meatanga.
13 Katahi a Tatenai, te kawana o tera taha o te awa, a Hetara Potenai me o raua hoa, i te mea na Kingi Tariuha i tono mai, ka hohoro tonu ta ratou pera.
14 Na kei te hanga nga kaumatua o nga Hurai; tika tonu ta ratou, he mea na te poropititanga a Hakai poropiti raua ko Hakaraia tama a Iro. Na hanga ana ratou, a oti ake; i rite tonu ki te whakahau a te Atua o Iharaira, ki te whakahau a Hairuha, a Ta riuha, a Arataherehe kingi o Pahia.
15 No te toru o nga ra o te marama Arara i oti ai tenei whare, no te ono ano tera o nga tau o te kingitanga o Kingi Tariuha.
16 Na i taia e nga tama a Iharaira, e nga tohunga, e nga Riwaiti, me era atu o nga tama a te whakarau, te kawa o tenei whare o te Atua i runga i te koa.
17 Tapaea ana hoki e ratou i te tainga o te kawa o tenei whare o te Atua, kotahi rau puru, e rua rau hipi toa, e wha rau reme; a hei whakahere hara mo Iharaira katoa, kotahi tekau ma rua koati toa, ko te maha hoki ia o nga iwi o Iharaira.
18 I whakaturia ano e ratou nga tohunga, tenei wehenga, tenei wehenga, me nga Riwaiti, tenei ropu, tenei ropu, mo nga mahi ki te Atua i Hiruharama; ko te mea hoki i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Mohi.
19 I te tekau ma wha o te marama tuatahi ka mahi nga tama o te whakarau i te kapenga.
20 I purea hoki nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, he mea pure huihui ratou, a patua ana e ratou te kapenga ma nga tama katoa o te whakarau, ma o ratou tuakana, ma nga tohunga, ma ratou ano hoki.
21 Na ka kai nga tama a Iharaira i hoki mai nei i te whakarau, me te hunga katoa i mawehe mai nei ki a ratou i roto i te poke o nga iwi o te whenua, ki te rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira,
22 A ka mahia e ratou te hakari o te taro rawenakore, e whitu nga ra, i runga i te koa: Na Ihowa hoki ratou i mea kia koa, nana hoki i whakaanga mai te ngakau o te kingi o Ahiria ki a ratou, i whakakaha ai ia i o ratou ringa ki te mahi i te whare o te Atua, o te Atua o Iharaira.

The Decree of Darius
6 King Darius then issued an order, and they searched in the archives(A) stored in the treasury at Babylon. 2 A scroll was found in the citadel of Ecbatana in the province of Media, and this was written on it:
Memorandum:
3 In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem:
Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid.(B) It is to be sixty cubits[a] high and sixty cubits wide, 4 with three courses(C) of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury.(D) 5 Also, the gold(E) and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the house of God.(F)
6 Now then, Tattenai,(G) governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai(H) and you other officials of that province, stay away from there. 7 Do not interfere with the work on this temple of God. Let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders rebuild this house of God on its site.
8 Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of God:
Their expenses are to be fully paid out of the royal treasury,(I) from the revenues(J) of Trans-Euphrates, so that the work will not stop. 9 Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings(K) to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and olive oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem—must be given them daily without fail, 10 so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons.(L)
11 Furthermore, I decree that if anyone defies this edict, a beam is to be pulled from their house and they are to be impaled(M) on it. And for this crime their house is to be made a pile of rubble.(N) 12 May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there,(O) overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree or to destroy this temple in Jerusalem.
I Darius(P) have decreed it. Let it be carried out with diligence.
Completion and Dedication of the Temple
13 Then, because of the decree King Darius had sent, Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates(Q) carried it out with diligence. 14 So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching(R) of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, a descendant of Iddo. They finished building the temple according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus,(S) Darius(T) and Artaxerxes,(U) kings of Persia. 15 The temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.(V)
16 Then the people of Israel—the priests, the Levites and the rest of the exiles—celebrated the dedication(W) of the house of God with joy. 17 For the dedication of this house of God they offered(X) a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred male lambs and, as a sin offering[b] for all Israel, twelve male goats, one for each of the tribes of Israel. 18 And they installed the priests in their divisions(Y) and the Levites in their groups(Z) for the service of God at Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.(AA)
The Passover
19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover.(AB) 20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered(AC) the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their relatives the priests and for themselves. 21 So the Israelites who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves(AD) from the unclean practices(AE) of their Gentile neighbors in order to seek the Lord,(AF) the God of Israel. 22 For seven days they celebrated with joy the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AG) because the Lord had filled them with joy by changing the attitude(AH) of the king of Assyria so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.
