1 balofede dunu aduna amo Ha: ga: iai amola Segalia (Idou egefe) da Isala: ili Gode amo Ea Dioba: le, Yu dunu Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme amo ganodini esalu, ilima muni sia: su.
Then Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo the prophet prophesied in the name of the God of Israel to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Selubabele (Sia: ladiele egefe) amola Yosiua (Yehosada: ge egefe) da balofede dunu ela sia: nabaloba, elea da Debolo diasu Yelusaleme amo ganodini bu gagumusa: , bu hawa: hamosu mui. Amo balofede dunu aduna da ela fidi.
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God in Jerusalem with the prophets who supported them.
3 Hedolodafa, Da: denai (Guma: dini Iufala: idisi eagene hina), Sidabosinai amola ela na: iyado ouligisu dunu da Yelusalemega misini, gasawane amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da nowa dunu ea sia: beba: le amo Debolo diasu gagusala: amola hahamosala: ?”
Then Tattenai the governor of the Province Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and his associates came and said to them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and complete these walls?”
4 Amola ilia da dunu Debolo diasu gagulalu amo dunu huluane ilia dio adole ba: i.
They also said, “What are the names of the men building this building?”
5 Be Gode da Yu ouligisu dunu noga: le ouligibiba: le, Besia eagene dunu ilia da Da: liase ema meloa dedene ianu amola ea adole iasu ba: beba: le fawane, Yu dunu ilia gagusu logo bu hedofamusa: dawa: i.
But God's eye was on the Jewish elders and their enemies did not stop them. They were waiting for a letter to be sent to the king and for a decree to be returned to them concerning this.
6 Ilia da Da: liase ema dedene iasi amane,
This is a copy of the letter of Tattenai, governor of the Province Beyond the River, and Shethar-Bozenai and his accociates in the Province Beyond the River, which they sent to Darius the king.
7 “Hina bagade Da: liase! Di olofoiwane esalumu da defea.
They sent a report, writing this to King Darius, “May all peace be yours.
8 Ninia sia: nabima! Ninia da Yuda sogega asili, Yu dunu da Hina Bagade Gode Ea Debolo diasu amo gagulalebe ba: i. Ilia da igi bagade amola ifa amo dobea ganodini madelagi agoane gagulala. Ilia dawa: iwane amola noga: le hawa: hamonana.
Let the king know that we went to Judah to the house of the great God. It is being built with large stones and timbers set in the walls. This work is being done thoroughly and is going forward well in their hands.
9 Amalalu, ninia da dunu fi ouligisu dunu ilima nowa da ilima Debolo bu gaguma: ne amola hahamoma: ne ilima sia: bela: ? amane adole ba: i.
We asked the elders, 'Who gave you a decree to build this house and these walls?'
10 Amola ninia da dima amo hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunu dio olelemusa: , ninia da Yu dunu ilia ouligisu dio adole ba: i.
We also asked them their names so you might know the name of each man who led them.
11 Ilia da ninima adole i, ‘Nini da Gode (Hebene amola osobo bagade amoma Hina Bagade) amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Musa: hemonega, gasa bagade Isala: ili ouligisu da amo Debolo diasu gagui amola hahamoi. Ninia da amo diasu bu gagulala.
They replied and said, 'We are servants of the one who is the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding this house that had been built many years ago when the great king of Israel built it and completed it.
12 Be ninia aowalali dunu da wadela: le hamoiba: le, Hebene Gode da ougi galu. Amaiba: le, Gode da ea logo fodobeba: le, Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese (e da Ga: ledia: ne fi dunu) da ninia fi dunuma hasalasi. E da Debolo diasu wadela: lesi amola dunu huluane mugululi Ba: bilone sogega masa: ne mugululi asi.
However, when our ancestors enraged the God of heaven, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and took the people into exile in Babylon.
13 Amalalu, hina bagade Sailase da Ba: bilone ouligisu hou laloba, ode bisili amoga, e da Debolo diasu bu gaguma: ne sia: i.
Nevertheless, in the first year when Cyrus was king of Babylon, Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild the house of God.
14 Musa: Nebiuga: denese da Yelusaleme Debolo amoga silifa ofodo amola gouli ofodo, amo lale, eno ogogole ‘gode’ liligi ea debolo Ba: bilone soge ganodini ligisi. Amo huluane, Sailase da Yu dunuma bu iasu. E da Sieseba: isa amo Yuda eagene hawa: hamomusa: ilegei amola amo liligi ema i.
King Cyrus also returned the gold and silver objects belonging to the house of God that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from the temple in Jerusalem to the temple in Babylon. He restored them to Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.
15 Sailase da ema e da amo liligi bu Yelusaleme Debolo diasu ganodini salima: ne amola Debolo ea musa: sogebi amoga bu gaguma: ne sia: i.
He said to him, “Take these objects. Go and put them in the temple in Jerusalem. Let the house of God be rebuilt there.”
16 Amaiba: le, Sieseba: isa da misini, Debolo ea bai hamoi. Amalalu, ninia da Debolo diasu gagulalu, be wali gagui da hame dagoi.
Then this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation for the house of God in Jerusalem; and it is being constructed, but is not yet complete.'
17 Defea! Hina bagade! Di da hanai galea, dia fidisu dunu da eagene ilia meloa dedei ganodini hogole ba: mu da defea. Sailase da amo Debolo diasu Yelusaleme amo ganodini bu gaguma: ne sia: bela: o hame sia: bela: , amo hogole ba: ma. Amasea, dia hanai amo ninima adoma,” Yu dunu ilia da amane sia: i.
Now if it pleases the king, may it be investigated in the house of archives in Babylon if a judgment from King Cyrus exists there to build this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send his decision to us.
