Ezra 4
1 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the LORD, the God of Israel,
Yuda fi dunu amola Bediamini fi dunu ilia ha lai dunu da mugululi asi dunu da buhagili, Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu gagubi nabi.
2 they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families, saying, “Let us build with you because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the time of King Esar-haddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”
Amaiba: le, ilia da Selubabele amola Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu ilima asili, amane adole ba: i, “Ninia amola da Debolo diasu gagumusa: fidimu da defeala: ? Ninia Godema sia: ne gadosu da dilia Godema sia: ne gadosu amo defele sia: ne gadosa. Amola Asilia hina bagade Isaha: done da sia: beba: le ninia guiguda: misi, amo fa: no ninia da Godema gobele salasu hou huluane hamonana.”
3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the other heads of the families of Israel replied, “You have no part with us in building a house for our God, since we alone must build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as Cyrus king of Persia has commanded us.”
Selubabele, Yosiua amola Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu da ilima amane adole i, “Ninia da Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu gagusia, eno fidisu dunu hame lamu. Ninisu amo Besia hina bagade Sailase amo ea sia: i defele, gagumu.”
4 Then the people of the land set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to build.
Amalalu, dunu da musa: Isala: ili sogega esalu da Yu dunu beda: ma: ne gasa fi hamosu. Ilia da Yu dunu ilia Debolo gagumu hawa: hamosu hedofamusa: dawa: i galu.
5 They hired counselors against them to frustrate their plans throughout the reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ilia da Besia eagene dunu amo Yu dunu ilia Debolo gagusu hawa: hamosu hedofama: ne, hano suligili muni ilima i. Amo hou ilia da Sailase ea Besia soge ouligisia amola fa: no Da: liase da Besia soge ouligisia, amo esoha ilia da mae fisili hamosu.
6 At the beginning of the reign of Xerxes, an accusation was lodged against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
Hina bagade amo Segesisi da Besia ouligisu hou lai dagoi. Ea ouligisu degabo laloba, dunu amo Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme ganodini esalu, ilima ha lai dunu da ilima fofada: musa: meloa dedene i.
7 And in the days of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. It was written in Aramaic and then translated.
Fa: no, hina bagade eno amo Adasegesisi da Besia soge ouligisia, ha lai dunu amo Bisila: me, Mililida: de amola Da: ibia: le ilia da Adasegesisima meloa dedene i. Amo meloa ilia da A: lama: ia: ge sia: ga dedei. Idisia, ilia da bu Besia sia: amoga afadenema: ne sia: i.
8 Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote the letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows:
Amola eagene hina dunu amo Lihame amola soge dedesu dunu amo Simisai, ela da Adasegesisi ema Yelusaleme ea hou olelemusa: meloa dedene i, amane,
9 From Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates—the judges and officials over Tripolis, Persia, Erech and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa,
“Lihame (eagene hina dunu), Simisai (soge dedesu dunu), ela fidisu dunu, fofada: su dunu amola ouligisu dunu eno huluane (amo huluane da musa: Ila: me soge moilai bai bagade amo Ilege, Ba: bilone amola Susa amoga misi) amola
10 and the rest of the peoples whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and elsewhere west of the Euphrates.
dunu eno amo gasa bagade hina Asoba: niba: le da ilia moilaia mugululi, ilia da Samelia moilai bai bagade amola eno sogebi Guma: dini Iufala: idisi Soge amo ganodini fima: ne oule asi, da amo meloa dedene iaha.”
11 (This is the text of the letter they sent to him.) To King Artaxerxes, From your servants, the men west of the Euphrates:
Ilia da meloa agoane dedene i, “Ninia da di, hina bagade Adasegesisi, ninia da dia hawa: hamosu dunu Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge amo ganodini esala, dima meloa dedene iaha.
12 Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came from you to us have returned to Jerusalem. And they are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city, restoring its walls, and repairing its foundations.
Hina bagade! Di da Yelusaleme amoma doaga: i hou dawa: mu da defea. Yu dunu da dia soge eno amoga misini, Yelusaleme amo ganodini fili, ilia amo wadela: i amola hame nabasu moilai bai bagade amo bu gagulala. Ilia amo moilai bai bagade gagoi gagulala amola ea gagui da gadenenewane dagomu ba: sa.
13 Let it now be known to the king that if that city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, they will not pay tribute, duty, or toll, and the royal treasury will suffer.
Hina bagade! Amo moilai bu gagusia amola amoea gagoi dagosea, Yu fi dunu da dima su muni iasu hou fisimu, amola dia su labe da ebelemu agoai ba: mu.
14 Now because we are in the service of the palace and it is not fitting for us to allow the king to be dishonored, we have sent to inform the king
Di da nini huluane ouligisa. Amaiba: le, agoai hou doaga: mu ninia higa: i ba: mu. Ninia agoane dawa: ,
15 that a search should be made of the record books of your fathers. In these books you will discover and verify that the city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, inciting sedition from ancient times. That is why this city was destroyed.
di da dia fidisu dunu ilima ilia meloa dedei dia aowalali ilia dedei, amo ganodini hogoma: ne sia: ma. Di agoane hamosea, Yelusaleme soge dunu da eso huluane mae fisili, hame nabasu hou hamosu di da ba: mu. Ilia gasa fi hou hamobeba: le, hina bagade amola soge ouligisu dunu da se bagade nabi amola ili ouligimu gasa bagade ba: i. Amaiba: le, amo moilai bai bagade da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: i.
16 We advise the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, you will have no dominion west of the Euphrates.
Amaiba: le ninia da agoane dawa: Ilia da amo moilai bai bagade amola ea gagoi bu gagusia, di hina bagade, da Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge ouligimu hamedeiwane ba: mu.” Ilia da amo meloa Adasegesisi ema dedene i.
17 Then the king sent this reply: To Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of your associates living in Samaria and elsewhere in the region west of the Euphrates: Greetings.
Adasegesisi da ilima dabe meloa amane dedene i, “Dilia! Lihame (eagene hina dunu), Simisai (soge dedesu dunu) amola ela fidisu dunu Samelia soge amola Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge amo ganodini esala. Asigi sia: sia: sa!
18 The letter you sent us has been translated and read in my presence.
Dilia nama meloa dedene iasi amo na sia: alofele iasu dunu da afadenene, nama idili i.
19 I issued a decree, and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has revolted against kings from ancient times, engaging in rebellion and sedition.
Na sia: beba: le, na fidisu dunu da aowalali ilia meloa dedei amo hogolala ba: i. Dafawane! Musa: amola amo fa: no, Yelusaleme fi dunu da hina bagade ilia sia: hame nabasu, amola amo ganodini hame nabasu dunu amola nimi bagade dunu bagohame ba: su.
20 And mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem and exercised authority over the whole region west of the Euphrates; and tribute, duty, and toll were paid to them.
Gasa bagade Ba: bilone hina dunu da Yelusaleme amola Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge huluane ouligisu. Ilia da su (da: gisi) muni amo dunuma lasu.
21 Now, therefore, issue an order for these men to stop, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order.
Amaiba: le, amo dunuma ilia Yelusaleme bu gagusu go fisima: ne sia: ma. Na da bu gaguma: ne sia: sea fawane, ilima bu gaguma: ne sia: ma.
22 See that you do not neglect this matter. Why allow this threat to increase and the royal interests to suffer?
Ilia da na hou bu wadela: sa: besa: le, amo sia: hedolo adoma!” Adasegesisi da amo meloa dedene iasi.
23 When the text of the letter from King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their associates, they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and forcibly stopped them.
Sia: alofele iasu dunu da amo meloa Lihame amola Simisai amola ela fidisu dunu ilima idili i. Ilia da Yelusalemega hedolo asili, Yu dunu ilia moilai bai bagade gagusu logo hedofai dagoi.
24 Thus the construction of the house of God in Jerusalem ceased, and it remained at a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Debolo diasu bu gagusu logo da hedofaiba: le, ilia da hame hawa: hamosu. Amalalu, hina bagade eno ea dio amo Da: liase da Besia soge ouligisu hou lai. E da ode aduna ouligilalu,
