< Ezra 7 >
1 Now, after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra, —son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah;
Wantoota kanneen booddee bara Arxeksis mooticha Faares keessa Izraan ilmi Seraayaa, ilmi Azaariyaa ilmi Hilqiyaa,
2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub;
ilmi Shaluum, ilmi Zaadoq, ilmi Ahiixuub,
3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth;
ilmi Amariyaa, ilmi Azaariyaa, ilmi Meraayoot,
4 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki;
ilmi Zeraayaa, ilmi Uzii, ilmi Bukii,
5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eliazar, son of Aaron the first priest; —
ilmi Abiishuuwaa, ilmi Fiinehaas, ilmi Eleʼaazaar, ilmi Aroon lubicha ol aanaa
6 this Ezra, came up out of Babylon, he, being a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh God of Israel had given, —and the king gave him, according to the hand of Yahweh his God upon him, all his request.
Izraan kun Baabilonii dhufe. Innis barsiisaa Seera Musee kan Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel kenne sana sirriitti beekuu dha. Sababii harki Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa isa irra tureef mootichi waan inni kadhate hunda ni kenneef.
7 So then there came up some of the sons of Israel, and some of the priests and the Levites and the singers and the doorkeepers and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, —in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Akkasumas waggaa torbaffaa bara Arxeksis Mootichaa keessa Israaʼeloonni tokko tokko jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonni, faarfattoonni, eegdonni karraa fi tajaajiltoonni mana qulqullummaa gara Yerusaalemitti ol baʼan.
8 And he entered Jerusalem, in the fifth month, —the same, was the seventh year of the king.
Izraanis waggaa torbaffaa bara mootii sanaa keessa jiʼa shanaffaatti Yerusaalem gaʼe.
9 For, on the first of the first month, was a beginning made of coming up from Babylon, —and, on the first of the fifth month, entered he into Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Innis bultii tokkoffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti karaa isaa Baabilonii jalqabee bultii tokkoffaa jiʼa shanaffaatti Yerusaalem gaʼe; harki Waaqa isaa tolaan sun isa irra tureetii.
10 For, Ezra, had settled his heart, to study the law of Yahweh, and to do [it], —and to teach in Israel, statute and regulation.
Izraan Seera Waaqayyoo quʼachuu fi eeguudhaaf akkasumas labsii fi ajaja seerichaa Israaʼel keessatti barsiisuudhaaf of kennee tureetii.
11 Now, this, is a copy of the letter which King Artaxerxes gave, to Ezra the priest the scribe, —the scribe of the words of the commandments of Yahweh, and of his statutes, for Israel: —
Kun garagalcha xalayaa Arxeksis Mootichi Izraa lubichaa fi barsiisaa, namicha waaʼee ajajaa fi labsiiwwan Waaqayyo Israaʼeliif kenne sanaa baratetti ergee ti:
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, Unto Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of the heavens—To despatch and so forth.
Arxeksis mootii moototaa irraa; Gara Izraa lubicha, barsiisaa Seera Waaqa samiitti: Nagaan siif haa taʼu.
13 From me, is issued an edict, that, every one in my kingdom, of the people of Israel, and of their priests and the Levites, who is minded of his own freewill to go to Jerusalem, with thee, let him go.
Ani amma akka namni Israaʼel kan mootummaa koo keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu luboonnii fi Lewwonni illee abbaan si wajjin Yerusaalem dhaquu barbaadu dhaquu dandaʼu labseera.
14 Forasmuch as, from before the king and his seven counselors, thou art sent, to enquire concerning Judah and as to Jerusalem, —by the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
Ati akka akkuma Seera Waaqa keetii kan harka kee jiru sanaatti waaʼee Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem qorattuuf mootichaa fi gorsitoota isaa torbaan ergamteerta.
15 and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, who, in Jerusalem, hath his habitation;
Kana irrattis meetii fi warqee mootichii fi gorsitoonni isaa Waaqa Israaʼel kan Yerusaalem keessa jiraatuuf toluma kennan sana fuudhii deemi;
16 and all the silver and the gold, which thou shalt find, in all the province of Babylon, —with the freewill offering of the people and of the priests offered willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem,
waan kanas meetii fi warqee kutaa biyya Baabiloniitii walitti qabde hundaa fi kennaa sabnii fi luboonni mana qulqullummaa Waaqa isaanii kan Yerusaalem keessaaf fedhiidhaan kennan wajjin fuudhii dhaqi.
17 therefore, with all diligence, shalt thou buy—with this silver—bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings, and their drink-offerings, —and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem;
Maallaqa kanaanis jiboota, korbeeyyii hoolaa fi xobbaallaa hoolaa, kennaa midhaanii fi dhibaayyuu isaanii wajjin bitaatii iddoo aarsaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keessanii kan Yerusaalem sana irratti dhiʼeessaa.
18 and, whatsoever, unto thee and unto thy brethren, shall seem good, with the rest of the silver and the gold, to do, according to the pleasure of your God, shall ye do.
Ergasii atii fi obboloonni kee Yihuudoonni meetii fi warqee hafe akkuma fedhii Waaqa keessaniitti waanuma gaarii isinitti fakkaate irra oolchaa.
19 And, the utensils which are freely given to thee for the service of the house of thy God, put thou back, before the God of Jerusalem.
Miʼa waaqeffannaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keetii keessaaf imaanaa sitti kenname hunda Waaqa Yerusaalem duratti dhiʼeessi.
20 And, the rest of the need of the house of thy God, which it shall fall to thee to give, thou shalt give, out of the treasure-house of the king.
Waan mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keetiif barbaadamu kan kennuu feetu hunda mankuusa mootii keessaa fuudhii kenni.
21 And, from me myself, Artaxerxes the king, issueth an edict, to all the treasurers who are Beyond the River, —that, whatsoever Ezra the priest the scribe of the law of the God of the heavens shall ask of you, with diligence, shall it be done:
Egaa ani Arxeksis Mootichi akka qabdoonni maallaqaa kanneen Gama Laga Efraaxiis jiran waan Izraan lubichi, barsiisaan Seera Waaqa samii kun isin gaafatu hunda arjummaadhaan isaaf kennan ajajeera;
22 unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred measures of wheat, and unto a hundred baths of wine, and unto a hundred baths of oil, —and salt without limit.
kunis hamma meetii taalaantii dhibba tokko, qamadii qoroosii dhibba tokko, daadhii wayinii baadoosii dhibba tokko, zayitii ejersaa baadoosii dhibba tokkoo fi soogidda hamma hin qabne haa taʼu.
23 Whatsoever is due to an edict of the God of the heavens, let it be done diligently, for the house of the God of the heavens, —for wherefore should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Wanni Waaqni samii ajaje kam iyyuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqa samiitiif of eeggannaadhaan haa godhamu. Maaliif dheekkamsi mootichaa fi ilmaan mootichaatti dhufa?
24 And, you, we do certify, that, as touching any of the priests or the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the Nethinim, or the servitors of this house of God, tribute, excise or toll, shall it not be competent to impose upon them.
Amma illee isin akka luboota, Lewwota, faarfattoota, eegdota karraa, tajaajiltoota mana qulqullummaa yookaan hojjettoota mana Waaqaa kana keessa hojjetan kamitti iyyuu gibira, qaraxaa fi ashuuraa murteessuuf aangoo hin qabne beekaa.
25 And, thou, Ezra, according to the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint thou judges and magistrates, who shall administer justice to all the people that are Beyond the River, to all who know the law of thy God, —and, whoso knoweth not, ye shall teach.
Egaa Izraa, ati akkuma ogummaa Waaqa keetii kan harka kee jiru sanaatti akka isaan warra Gama Laga Efraaxiis jiraatan bulchaniif abbootii seeraa fi abbootii murtii kanneen hundi isaanii seera Waaqa keetii beekan muudi. Nama seera Waaqaa hin beekne kam iyyuus barsiisi.
26 But, whosoever shall not do the law of thy God and the law of the king, speedily, let, penalty, be exacted from him, —whether to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Namni seera Waaqa keetiitiif yookaan seera mootichaatiif hin ajajamne kam iyyuu dhugumaan ajjeechaadhaan, biyya keessaa ariʼamuudhaan, qabeenyi isaa irraa dhaalamuudhaan yookaan hidhaadhaan adabamuu qaba.
27 Blessed be Yahweh, God of our fathers, —who hath put the like of this into the heart of the king, to beautify the house of Yahweh, which is in Jerusalem;
Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keenyaa kan akka inni karaa kanaan mana Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessa jiruuf ulfina kennuuf garaa mootichaa keessa yaada kana kaaʼe sun haa galateeffamu;
28 and, unto me, hath extended lovingkindness, before the king and his counselors, yea all the valiant captains of the king, —I, therefore have emboldened myself, according to the hand of Yahweh my God upon me, and gathered out of Israel, chief men, to go up with me.
Waaqa fuula mootichaa, fuula gorsitoota mootichaa fi fuula qondaaltota mootichaa ciccimoo hundaa duratti gaarummaa ofii isaa na argisiiseef galanni haa gaʼu. Sababii harki Waaqayyo Waaqa koo anarra tureef ani jajjabaadheen akka isaan na wajjin deemaniif Israaʼel keessaa namoota bebeekamoo walitti nan qabadhe.
