Ezra 5
1 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel prophesied they unto them.
Yeroo kanatti Haageen raajichii fi Zakkaariyaas ilmi Iddoo raajichi, maqaa Waaqa Israaʼel kan isaan wajjin jiraatu sanaan Yihuudoota warra Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessa jiranitti raajii dubbatan.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
Kana irratti Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeelii fi Iyyaasuun ilmi Yoosaadaaq Yerusaalem keessatti mana Waaqaa deebisanii ijaaruu jalqaban. Raajonni Waaqaas isaan gargaaruuf isaanuma wajjin turan.
3 At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, and said thus unto them: 'Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this structure?'
Yeroo sanatti Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi deeggartoonni isaanii gara isaanii dhaqanii, “Akka isin mana qulqullummaa kana deebiftanii ijaartanii fi akka isin dallaa dhagaa kanas akka duriitti deebiftan eenyutu isiniif eeyyame?” jedhanii gaafatan.
4 'Then spoke we unto them after this manner, wrote they: What are the names of the men that build this building?'
Akkasumas, “Maqaan warra mana kana ijaaruu eenyu faʼi?” jedhanii gaafatan.
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
Garuu iji Waaqa isaanii maanguddoota Yihuudaa irra turte; isaanis hamma gabaasni sun Daariyoos bira gaʼee deebiin isaa barreeffamaan dhufutti hojii hin dhaabne.
6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharesachites, who were beyond the River, sent unto Darius the king;
Kunis garagalchaa xalayaa Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayi, deeggartoonni isaanii fi qondaaltonni Gama Laga Efraaxiis jiraatan Daariyoos Mootichatti erganii ti.
7 they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus: 'Unto Darius the king, all peace.
Gabaasni isaan erganiif sunis akkana jedha: Gara Daariyoos Mootichaa: Nagaa ulfinaan guutame siif ergina.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth on with diligence and prospereth in their hands.
Mootichi akka nu gara aanaa Yihuudaa gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqa guddichaa dhaqnee turre haa beeku. Namoonni dhagaa gurguddaadhaan mana sana ijaaraa, laaxaas keenyan manaa keessa kaaʼaa jiru. Hojiin kunis ciminaan hojjetamaa harka isaanii jalatti guddina argisiisaa jira.
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus: Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?
Nu maanguddoota sana dubbifnee, “Eenyutu akka isin mana qulqullummaa kana deebiftanii ijaartanii fi akka isin ijaarsa isaa akka duriitti deebiftan isiniif eeyyame?” jennee isaan gaafanne.
10 We asked them their names also, to announce to thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head of them.
Akkasumas akka maqaa hooggantoota isaanii barreessinee si beeksifnuuf maqaa isaanii illee gaafannee ture.
11 And thus they returned us answer, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and finished.
Isaanis deebii kana nuu kennan: “Nu garboota Waaqa samii fi lafaa ti; nu mana qulqullummaa kan bara dheeraan dura ijaarame, kan mootiin Israaʼel guddichi ijaaree fixe sana deebifnee ijaaraa jirra.
12 But because that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Garuu sababii abbootiin keenya Waaqa samii aarsaniif inni dabarsee harka Nebukadnezar namicha biyya Kaldootaa, mootii Baabilonitti isaan kenne; innis mana qulqullummaa kana barbadeessee uummatas biyyaa baasee Baabilonitti geesse.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
“Taʼu illee waggaa tokkoffaa bara mootummaa Qiiros mooticha Baabilon keessa Qiiros Mootichi akka manni Waaqaa kun deebifame ijaaramuuf labsii tokko labse.
14 And the gold and silver vessels also of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
Innis miʼa warqee fi meetii mana Waaqaa kan Nebukadnezar mana qulqullummaa Yerusaalem keessaa guuree Baabilonitti geesse sana masaraa mootummaa Baabilon keessaa ni baase. Qiiros Mootichi namicha Sheeshbasaar jedhamu kan inni bulchaa godhee muude sanatti miʼa kana kennee
15 and he said unto him: Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place.
akkana jedheen; ‘Miʼa kana fuudhii dhaqiitii mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanatti galchi. Mana Waaqaas iddoo isaatti deebisii ijaari.’
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundations of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not completed.
“Ergasiis Sheeshbasaar kun dhufee hundee mana Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa buuse. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee hamma ammaatti manni sun ijaaramaa jira; garuu amma illee hin dhumne.”
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house there, which is at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.'
Egaa amma yoo fedhii mootichaa taʼe, Qiiros Mootichi dhugumaan akka manni Waaqaa kun Yerusaalem keessatti deebifamee ijaaramuuf labsii baasuu fi baasuu baachuu isaa beekuuf galmeen masaraa mootummaa Baabilon haa qoratamu. Ergasiis mootichi yaada waan kana irratti qabu nuuf haa ergu.
