OET interlinear EZRA 3:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

מִ⁠יּ֤וֹם אֶחָד֙

from,day one(ms)

The Hebrew uses a cardinal number here, one, but there is not a significant difference in meaning between that and the way the Hebrew uses an ordinal number, first, in similar contexts elsewhere. If your language customarily uses ordinals for the numbers of days, you can do that here in your translation. Alternate translation: “Starting on the first day”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

הֵחֵ֕לּוּ לְ⁠הַעֲל֥וֹת עֹל֖וֹת לַ⁠יהוָ֑ה וְ⁠הֵיכַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א יֻסָּֽד

began to,offer burnt_offerings to/for=YHWH and,temple_of YHWH not foundation_~_laid

This sentence draws a contrast between the conditions under which readers would have expected sacrifices to resume and the conditions under which they actually did resume. You could use a connecting phrase such as “even though” between the two clauses to indicate this contrast. Alternate translation: “they resumed offering sacrifices to Yahweh, even though they had not yet rebuilt the temple of Yahweh”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠הֵיכַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א יֻסָּֽד

and,temple_of YHWH not foundation_~_laid

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “the Jewish leaders had not yet rebuilt the temple of Yahweh”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠הֵיכַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א יֻסָּֽד

and,temple_of YHWH not foundation_~_laid

This phrase likely means specifically that no one had laid a foundation yet for the new temple. That would have been the first step in construction. However, this seems to be a figurative way of describing the entire process of building the temple by referring to one part of that process, its first step. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Jewish leaders had not yet rebuilt the temple of Yahweh”
