< 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.
Haddaba cadaawayaashii reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin markay maqleen inay kuwii maxaabiistii ahaan jiray macbud u dhisayeen Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil,
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.
ayay u soo dhowaadeen Serubaabel, iyo madaxdii qabiilooyinka, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annana aan idinla dhisno, waayo, Ilaahiinna waan u doonnaa sidiinnoo kale, oo isaga allabari baan u bixin jirnay tan iyo waagii uu Eesar Xaddoon oo boqorkii Ashuur ahaa halkan na keenay.
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.
Laakiinse Serubaabel iyo Yeeshuuca, iyo madaxdii qabiilooyinka reer Israa'iil intoodii kaleba waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Idinka waxba idinkama gelin inaad Ilaahayaga guri noola dhistaan, laakiinse annagaa dhammaantayo guri u dhisayna Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, sidii uu Boqor Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris nagu amray.
4 And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Juda, and hindered them in building,
Markaasaa dadkii dalka degganaa waxay daaliyeen gacmihii dadkii reer Yahuudah, oo waxdhisiddiina way ka cabsiiyeen,
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.
oo waxay u soo kiraysteen taliyayaal si ay qasdigoodii uga xumeeyaan, Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris wakhtigiisii oo dhan, iyo tan iyo xataa dowladnimadii Daariyus oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris.
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.
Oo waagii Ahashwerus boqortooyada qabsaday markii dowladnimadiisu bilaabatay ayay ashtako ka soo qoreen dadkii degganaa Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem.
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.
Oo wakhtigii Artaxshasta ayaa Bishlaam, Mitredaad, Taabeel, iyo saaxiibbadiisii kale arji u soo qoray Artaxshasta oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris, oo warqadda farteedu waxay ahayd tan Suuriya, waxaana lagu micneeyey afka Suuriya.
8 Reum the chancellor, and Sampsa the scribe wrote an epistle against Jerusalem to King Arthasastha, [saying, ]
Taliyihii Rexuum ahaa iyo karraanigii Shimshay ahaa ayaa sidan warqad Yeruusaalem ka gees ah ugu soo qoray Boqor Artaxshasta.
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,
Markaasaa waxaa qoray taliyihii Rexuum ahaa iyo karraanigii Shimshay ahaa, iyo saaxiibbadoodii kale oo ahaa reer Diinaayee, iyo reer Afarsatkaayee, iyo reer Tarfelaayee, iyo reer Afaarsaayee, iyo reer Arkewaayee, iyo reer Baabuloon, iyo reer Shuushankaayee, iyo reer Dehaayee, iyo reer Ceelaam,
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.
iyo quruumaha intoodii kale oo boqorkii weynaa oo gobta ahaa Aasnafar u soo gudbiyey oo dejiyey magaalada Samaariya iyo dalka intiisa kaloo webiga ka shishaysa iyo wixii la mid ah.
11 This [is] the purport of the letter, which they sent to him: Your servants the men beyond the river to king Arthasastha.
Kanu waa naqilkii warqaddii ay Boqor Artaxshasta u direen: Dadka webiga ka shisheeya, oo addoommadaada ahu waxay leeyihiin,
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.
Boqorow, bal ogow, in Yuhuuddii kaa soo kacday ay Yeruusaalem noogu yimaadeen, oo ay dhisayaan magaaladii caasiga ahayd oo xumayd, oo derbiyadii way dhammeeyeen, aasaaskiina way hagaajiyeen.
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.
Haddaba boqorow bal ogow, in haddii magaaladan la dhiso, oo derbiyadeeda la dhammeeyo, ayan iyagu markaas bixin doonin gabbaro, canshuur, amase baad, ugudambaystana boqorraday wax yeeli doontaa.
14 And it is not lawful for us to see the dishonor of the king: therefore have we sent and made known [the matter] to the king;
Haddaba annagu waxaannu cunnaa cusbada hoygaaga, boqorow, oo naguma habboona inaannu aragno adigoo lagu ciso jebiyey, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan kuugu soo cid dirnay oo kuu ogeysiinnay, boqorow,
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.
si loo baadho buugaggii taariikhda oo awowayaashaa, oo sidaasaad buugagga taariikhda uga heli doontaa oo u ogaan doontaa in magaaladanu tahay magaalo caasi ah, oo ay u waxyeello badan tahay boqorrada iyo gobolladaba, iyo in iyada waagii hore fallaagada laga kiciyey, oo sababtaas aawadeed baa magaaladan loo dumiyey.
16 We therefore declare to the king, that, if that city be built, and its walls be set up, you shall not have peace.
Boqorow, waxaannu ku ogeysiinaynaa in haddii magaaladan la dhiso, oo derbiyadeeda la dhammeeyo, aadan sababtaas aawadeed waxba qayb ku yeelan doonin inta webiga ka shishaysa.
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,
Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu warqad jawaab ah u soo diray taliyihii Rexuum ahaa, iyo karraanigii Shimshay ahaa, iyo intii kaloo saaxiibbadooda ahayd oo Samaariya degganaa, iyo dadkii kaloo webiga shishadiisa degganaa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Nabad iyo wax la mid ahu korkiinna ha ahaadeen.
18 The tribute-gatherer whom you sent to us, has been called before me.
Warqaddii aad noo soo dirteen bayaan ayaa hortayda loogu akhriyey.
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.
Oo anna amar baan bixiyey, oo buugaggii baa la baadhay, oo waxaa la helay in magaaladanu waagii hore boqorro ku kici jirtay, iyo in dhexdeeda lagu caasiyoobi jiray oo lagu fallaagoobi jiray.
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.
Oo weliba Yeruusaalem waxaa xukumi jiray boqorro xoog badan, oo waxay u talin jireen inta webiga ka shishaysa oo dhan, oo gabbaro, iyo canshuur, iyo baadba waa la siin jiray.
21 Now therefore make a decree to stop the work of those men, and that city shall no more be built.
Haddaba idinku waxaad amar ku bixisaan in nimankaasu shuqulka joojiyaan iyo inaan magaaladaas la dhisin ilaa aan amar bixiyo.
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.
Oo idinku iska jira inaydnaan xaalkaas daynin, waayo, bal maxaa khasaare ugu sii kordhaya in waxyeello boqorrada gaadho?
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.
Oo markii Boqor Artaxshasta warqaddiisii naqilkeedii lagu hor akhriyey Rexuum iyo karraanigii Shimshay ahaa, iyo saaxiibbadood, haddiiba waxay degdeg ugu tageen Yuhuuddii Yeruusaalem joogtay, oo waxay ku joojiyeen qasab iyo xoog.
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.
Oo markaasuu joogsaday shuqulkii guriga Ilaah Yeruusaalem ku yaal; oo wuxuu joogsaday ilaa sannaddii labaad oo dowladnimadii Daariyus oo boqorkii Faaris ahaa.
