< Ezra 4 >

1 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the exile were building the temple unto 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 Then came they near to Zerubbabel, and to the chiefs of the divisions, and said unto them, Let us build with you; for like you will we seek your God; and unto him do we sacrifice since the days of Essar-chaddon the king of Asshur, who hath brought us up hither.
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, and Jeshua', and the rest of the of the divisions of Israel, said unto them, It is not obligatory on you and on us to build a house unto our God; but we ourselves together must build unto the Lord the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath 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 did the people of the land weaken the hands of the people of Judah, and frightened them off from building;
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 And they hired against them counsellors, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus the king of Persia, and even until the reign of Darius the 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 And in the reign of Achashverosh, in the beginning of his reign they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants 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 wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes the king of Persia: and the writing of the letter was written in Aramic, and interpreted in Aramic.
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 Rechum the counsellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a certain letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king, as followeth:
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 Then [wrote] Rechum the counsellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, from Din, and Apharsathach, Tarpel, Apharass, Erech, Babylon, Shushan, Dehav, and 'Elam,
“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 nations whom the great and honored Assnapper had brought into exile, and settled in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and so forth.
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 copy of the letter which they sent unto him, even unto king Artaxerxes: Thy servants the men on this side the river, and so forth.
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 Be it made known unto the king, that the Jews who removed away from thee are come up to us unto Jerusalem: they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and are completing the walls, and are joining together the 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 Be it now known unto the king, that, if this city be rebuilt, and the walls be completed, they will not give tax, tribute, and toll, and the royal revenues will suffer damage.
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 eat the salt of the palace, and it is not proper for us to see the king's dishonor, therefore have we sent and let the king know this:
Di da nini huluane ouligisa. Amaiba: le, agoai hou doaga: mu ninia higa: i ba: mu. Ninia agoane dawa: ,
15 That search may be made in the book of the memorable events of thy fathers, and thou wilt find in the book of the memorable events, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have practised sedition within the same from the most ancient time; for which cause 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 let the king know that, if this city be rebuilt, and its walls be completed, by this means thou wilt have no more any portion on this side of the river.
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 sent the king a reply unto Rechum the counsellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest of those beyond the river, Peace, and so forth.
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 which ye have sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.
Dilia nama meloa dedene iasi amo na sia: alofele iasu dunu da afadenene, nama idili i.
19 And an order was given by me, and search was made, and it was found that this city from the most ancient time hath lifted itself up against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been practised therein.
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 that mighty kings have been over Jerusalem, who ruled over all the countries beyond the river; and that tax, tribute, and toll was given unto 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 give ye the order to stop these men, and this city shall not be built, until the order be given from me.
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 Take heed now that ye commit no error in this: that not any injury may grow [out of this] to the damage of the kings.
Ilia da na hou bu wadela: sa: besa: le, amo sia: hedolo adoma!” Adasegesisi da amo meloa dedene iasi.
23 Thereupon so soon as the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rechum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they did go up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and stopped them by force and power.
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 Then was stopped the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem, and it remained interrupted until the second year of the reign of Darius the 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,
