< Ezra 4 >

1 And they that afflicted Juda and Benjamin heard, that the children of the captivity were building a house to the Lord God of Israel.
Sa’ad da abokan gāban Yahuda da na Benyamin suka ji cewa waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta suna gina haikalin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila
2 And they drew near to Zorobabel, and to the heads of families, and said to them, We will build with you; for as you [do], we seek [to serve] our God, and we do sacrifice to him from the days of Asaradan king of Assur, who brought us hither.
sai suka zo wurin Zerubbabel da kuma wurin shugabannin iyalai, suka ce, “Bari mu taimake ku ginin domin mu ma muna addu’a ga Allahnku yadda kuke yi, muna miƙa masa hadaya tun lokacin Esar-Haddon sarkin Assuriya wanda ya kawo mu nan.”
3 then Zorobabel, and Jesus and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel said to them, [It is] not for us and you to build a house to our God, for we ourselves will build together to the Lord our God, as Cyrus the king of the Persians commanded us.
Amma Zerubbabel, Yeshuwa, da sauran shugabannin iyalai na Isra’ila suka amsa suka ce, “Ba za ku sa hannu cikin gina wa Allahnmu haikali ba, mu kaɗai za mu gina wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila gini kamar yadda Sarki Sairus, sarkin Farisa, ya umarce mu.”
4 And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Juda, and hindered them in building,
Sai mutanen da suke zama a wurin suka fara yin ƙoƙari su sa mutanen Yahuda su karaya, suka sa su ji tsoron ci gaba da ginin.
5 and [continued] hiring [persons] against them, plotting to frustrate their counsel, all the days of Cyrus king of the Persians, and until the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
Suka yi hayar mashawarta don su ga cewa sun ɓata ƙoƙarinsu dukan kwanakin mulkin Sairus sarkin Farisa har zuwa kwanakin mulkin Dariyus sarkin Farisa.
6 And in the reign of Assuerus, even in the beginning of his reign, they wrote a letter against the inhabitants of Juda and Jerusalem.
A farkon mulkin Zerzes, sai abokan gāba suka kawo ƙarar mutanen Yahuda da na Urushalima.
7 And in the days of Arthasastha, Tabeel wrote peaceably to Mithradates and to the rest of his fellow-servants: the tribute-gatherer wrote to Arthasastha king of the Persians a writing in the Syrian tongue, and [the same] interpreted.
A zamanin Artazerzes sarkin Farisa kuma, sai Bishlam, da Mitredat, da Tabeyel, da sauran abokansu suka rubuta wasiƙa zuwa ga Artazerzes. Aka rubuta wasiƙar da harufan Arameyik, aka kuma fassara ta a yaren Arameyik.
8 Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe wrote an epistle against Jerusalem to King Arthasastha, [saying, ]
Rehum shugaban rundunar soja, da Shimshai marubuci, suka rubuta wasiƙar a kan Urushalima zuwa ga sarki Artazerzes, suka ce.
9 Thus has judged Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe, and the rest of our fellow-servants, the Dinaeans, the Apharsathachaeans, the Tarphalaeans, the Apharsaeans, the Archyaeans, the Babylonians, the Susanachaeans, Davaeans,
Rehum shugaban sojoji, da Shimshai marubuci, da sauran abokansu, wato, alƙalai, da masu riƙe da muƙamai daga Farisa, Uruk da Babilon, mutanen Elam da na Shusha,
10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Assenaphar removed, and settled them in the cities of Somoron, and the rest [of them] beyond the river.
da sauran mutane waɗanda mai girma Osnaffar ya kwaso, ya zaunar da su cikin birnin Samariya da sauran wurare na Kewayen Kogin Yuferites.
11 This [is] the purport of the letter, which they sent to him: Your servants the men beyond the river to king Arthasastha.
(Ga abin da suka rubuta.) Zuwa ga sarki Artazerzes. Daga bayinka, mutanen Kewayen Kogin Yuferites.
12 Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came up from you to us have come to Jerusalem the rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, and its walls are set in order, and they have established the foundations of it.
Ya kamata sarki ya san cewa Yahudawan da suka hauro wurinmu daga wurinka, sun je Urushalima suna sāke gina wannan mugun birni mai tawaye. Suna sāke gyara katangar, suna kuma gyara harsashin katangar.
13 Now then be it known to the king, that if that city be built up, and its walls completed, you shall have no tribute, neither will they pay [anything], and this injures kings.
Ya kamata fa, sarki ya san cewa in aka sāke gina wannan birni duk da katangar birnin, mutanen birnin ba za su dinga biyan haraji, da kuɗin shiga, da na fitar da kaya ba, wannan zai sa aljihun masarauta yă bushe.
14 And it is not lawful for us to see the dishonour of the king: therefore have we sent and made known [the matter] to the king;
Tun da yake muna ƙarƙashin fada, bai kyautu mu bari a rena sarki ba, Saboda haka muke sanar da sarki,
15 That examination may be made in your fathers' book of record; and you shall find, and you shall know that city [is] rebellious, and does harm to kings and countries, and there are in the midst of it from very old time refuges for [runaway] slaves: therefore this city has been made desolate.
domin a bincika a littattafan tarihin kakanninka. Za ka ga cewa wannan birni mai tawaye ne. Tun daga zamanin dā wannan birnin yana ba sarakuna da yankuna damuwa. Wannan ne ya sa aka ragargazar da birnin.
16 We therefore declare to the king, that, if that city be built, and its walls be set up, you shall not have peace.
Muna sanar da sarki cewa in har aka sāke gina wannan birnin da katangarsa, zai zama ka rasa kome a gefen Kewayen Kogin Yuferites ke nan.
17 Then the king sent to Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe, and the rest of their fellow-servants who lived in Samaria, and the rest beyond the river, [saying, ]Peace; and he says,
Sarki ya aika da wannan amsa. Zuwa ga Rehum shugaban sojoji, Shimshai marubuci da kuma sauran abokansu waɗanda suke zama a Samariya da kuma sauran wurare a Kewayen Kogin Yuferites. Gaisuwa.
18 The tribute-gatherer whom you sent to us, has been called before me.
An karanta, an kuma fassara mini wasiƙar da kuma aika.
19 And a decree has been made by me, and we have examined, and found that city of old time exalts itself against kings, and that rebellions and desertions take place within it.
Na ba da umarni aka kuma yi bincike, aka tarar cewa wannan birni ya daɗe yana yi wa sarakuna tawaye, an yi tashin hankali a birnin.
20 And there were powerful kings in Jerusalem, and they ruled over all the [country] beyond the river, and abundant revenues and tribute were given to them.
Urushalima ta yi sarakuna masu iko sosai waɗanda suka yi mulkin Kewayen Kogin Yuferites gaba ɗaya, an kuma biya masu haraji, da kuɗin shiga da na fita na kaya.
21 Now therefore make a decree to stop the work of those men, and that city shall no more be built.
Saboda haka sai ku ba da umarni yanzu cewa mutanen su daina wannan aiki sai lokacin da na ba da umarni.
22 [See] that you be careful of the decree, [not] to be remiss concerning this matter, lest at any time destruction should abound to the harm of kings.
Ku tabbata ka ɗauki wannan da muhimmanci. Don me za a bari wannan abu yă zama abin damuwa ga sarauta?
23 Then the tribute-gatherer of king Arthasastha read [the letter] before Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe, and his fellow-servants: and they went in haste to Jerusalem and through Juda, and caused them to cease with horses and an [armed] force.
Da gama karanta wasiƙar sarki Artazerzes wa Rehum da Shimshai marubuci, da abokansu, sai suka yi sauri suka je wurin Yahudawa a Urushalima, suka hana su aikin ƙarfi da yaji.
24 Then ceased the work of the house of God in Jerusalem, and it was at a stand until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
Saboda haka aikin a gidan Allah a Urushalima ya tsaya cik sai a shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Dariyus sarkin Farisa.
