< Ezra 4 >

1 And adversaries of Judah and Benjamin hear that the sons of the captivity are building a temple to YHWH, 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 draw near to Zerubbabel, and to heads of the fathers, and say to them, “Let us build with you; for, like you, we seek to your God, and we are not sacrificing since the days of Esar-Haddon king of Asshur, who brought us up here.”
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 And Zerubbabel says to them, also Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of the fathers of Israel, “Not for you, and for us, to build a house to our God; but we ourselves together build to YHWH God of Israel, as King Cyrus, king of Persia, 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 it comes to pass, the people of the land are making the hands of the people of Judah feeble, and troubling them in building,
Markaasaa dadkii dalka degganaa waxay daaliyeen gacmihii dadkii reer Yahuudah, oo waxdhisiddiina way ka cabsiiyeen,
5 and are hiring against them counselors to make void their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
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 Ahasuerus, in the commencement of his reign, they have written an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah 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 Artaxerxes have Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions written to Artaxerxes king of Persia, and the writing of the letter is written in Aramaic, and interpreted in Aramaic.
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 Rehum counselor, and Shimshai scribe have written a letter concerning Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king, thus:
Taliyihii Rexuum ahaa iyo karraanigii Shimshay ahaa ayaa sidan warqad Yeruusaalem ka gees ah ugu soo qoray Boqor Artaxshasta.
9 Then Rehum counselor, and Shimshai scribe, and the rest of their companions, Dinaites, and Apharsathchites, Tarpelites, Apharsites, Archevites, Babylonians, Susanchites (who are Elamites),
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 that the great and honorable Asnapper removed and set in the city of Samaria, and the rest beyond the river, and at such a time:
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] a copy of a letter that they have sent to him, to Artaxerxes the king: “Your servants, men beyond the river, and at such a time;
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 have come up from you to us, have come to Jerusalem, the rebellious and base city they are building, and the walls they have finished, and the foundations they join.
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 let it be known to the king, that if this city is built and the walls finished, that they do not give toll, tribute, and custom; and at length it causes loss [to] the 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 Now because that the salt of the palace [is] our salt, and we have no patience to see the nakedness of the king, therefore we have sent and made known 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 so that he seeks in the scroll of the records of your fathers, and you find in the scroll of the records, and know, that this city [is] a rebellious city, and causing loss [to] kings and provinces, and makers of sedition [are] in its midst from the days of old, therefore this city has been ruined.
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 are making known to the king that, if this city be built and the walls finished, by this means you have no portion beyond the river.”
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 The king has sent an answer to Rehum counselor, and Shimshai scribe, and the rest of their companions who are dwelling in Samaria, and the rest beyond the river, “Peace, and at such a time:
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 letter that you sent to us, explained, has been read before me,
Warqaddii aad noo soo dirteen bayaan ayaa hortayda loogu akhriyey.
19 and by me a decree has been made, and they sought, and have found that this city is lifting up itself against kings from the days of old, and rebellion and sedition is made in 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 mighty kings have been over Jerusalem, even rulers over all beyond the river, and toll, tribute, and custom is 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 make a decree to cause these men to cease, and this city is not built, until a decree is made by me.
Haddaba idinku waxaad amar ku bixisaan in nimankaasu shuqulka joojiyaan iyo inaan magaaladaas la dhisin ilaa aan amar bixiyo.
22 And beware of negligence in doing this; why does the hurt become great to the loss of the kings?”
Oo idinku iska jira inaydnaan xaalkaas daynin, waayo, bal maxaa khasaare ugu sii kordhaya in waxyeello boqorrada gaadho?
23 Then from the time that a copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes is read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they have gone in haste to Jerusalem, to the Jews, and caused them to cease by force and strength;
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 service of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Oo markaasuu joogsaday shuqulkii guriga Ilaah Yeruusaalem ku yaal; oo wuxuu joogsaday ilaa sannaddii labaad oo dowladnimadii Daariyus oo boqorkii Faaris ahaa.
