Esela 5
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.
Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem. They prophesied to them in the name of the God of Israel.
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.
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Yeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping 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: ?”
At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, came to them, with Shetharbozenai and their companions, and asked them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
4 Amola ilia da dunu Debolo diasu gagulalu amo dunu huluane ilia dio adole ba: i.
They also asked for the names of the men who were making 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 the eye of their God was on the Jewish elders, and they didn’t make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
6 Ilia da Da: liase ema dedene iasi amane,
The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king follows.
7 “Hina bagade Da: liase! Di olofoiwane esalumu da defea.
They sent a letter to him, in which was written: To Darius the king, all peace.
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.
Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones and timber is laid in the walls. This work goes on with diligence and prospers 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.
Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, “Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”
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 asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
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.
Thus they returned us answer, saying, “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
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.
But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Kasdian, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.
13 Amalalu, hina bagade Sailase da Ba: bilone ouligisu hou laloba, ode bisili amoga, e da Debolo diasu bu gaguma: ne sia: i.
But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this 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.
The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was 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 vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house be built in its place.’
16 Amaiba: le, Sieseba: isa da misini, Debolo ea bai hamoi. Amalalu, ninia da Debolo diasu gagulalu, be wali gagui da hame dagoi.
Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet it is not completed.
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 therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”
