Ezra 5
1 At that time two prophets gave messages from God to the Jews in Jerusalem and [other cities in] Judah. The prophets were Haggai and Zechariah, who was a descendant of Iddo. They spoke those messages representing God, whom the Israelis [worshiped/belonged to], the one who was their true king.
balofede dunu aduna amo Ha: ga: iai amola Segalia (Idou egefe) da Isala: ili Gode amo Ea Dioba: le, Yu dunu Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme amo ganodini esalu, ilima muni sia: su.
2 Then Zerubbabel and Shealtiel [led many other people] as they started [again] to rebuild the temple of God in Jerusalem. And God’s prophets [Haggai and Zechariah] were with them and helped them.
Selubabele (Sia: ladiele egefe) amola Yosiua (Yehosada: ge egefe) da balofede dunu ela sia: nabaloba, elea da Debolo diasu Yelusaleme amo ganodini bu gagumusa: , bu hawa: hamosu mui. Amo balofede dunu aduna da ela fidi.
3 Then Tattenai the governor of the province west of the [Euphrates] River and Shethar-Bozenai his assistant and [some of] their officials went to Jerusalem and said to the people, “Who has permitted you to rebuild this temple and put furnishings in it?”
Hedolodafa, Da: denai (Guma: dini Iufala: idisi eagene hina), Sidabosinai amola ela na: iyado ouligisu dunu da Yelusalemega misini, gasawane amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da nowa dunu ea sia: beba: le amo Debolo diasu gagusala: amola hahamosala: ?”
4 They also requested the people to tell them the names of the men who were working [at the temple]. [But the people refused].
Amola ilia da dunu Debolo diasu gagulalu amo dunu huluane ilia dio adole ba: i.
5 However, God was taking care of the Jewish leaders, so their enemies were not able to prevent the people from continuing [to rebuild the temple]. [They continued to work while their enemies] sent a report to King Darius, and asked him [what he wanted them to do] about it.
Be Gode da Yu ouligisu dunu noga: le ouligibiba: le, Besia eagene dunu ilia da Da: liase ema meloa dedene ianu amola ea adole iasu ba: beba: le fawane, Yu dunu ilia gagusu logo bu hedofamusa: dawa: i.
6 So Tattenai and Shethar-Bozenai and their officials sent a report to King Darius.
Ilia da Da: liase ema dedene iasi amane,
7 This is what they wrote: “King Darius, we hope that things are going well for you!
“Hina bagade Da: liase! Di olofoiwane esalumu da defea.
8 [“We want you to know that] we went to Judah Province, where the temple of the great God is being rebuilt. The people are building it with huge stones, and they are putting wooden beams in the walls. The work is being done very carefully, and they are progressing well.
Ninia sia: nabima! Ninia da Yuda sogega asili, Yu dunu da Hina Bagade Gode Ea Debolo diasu amo gagulalebe ba: i. Ilia da igi bagade amola ifa amo dobea ganodini madelagi agoane gagulala. Ilia dawa: iwane amola noga: le hawa: hamonana.
9 “We asked the Jewish leaders, ‘Who has permitted you to rebuild this temple and put furnishings in it?’
Amalalu, ninia da dunu fi ouligisu dunu ilima nowa da ilima Debolo bu gaguma: ne amola hahamoma: ne ilima sia: bela: ? amane adole ba: i.
10 And we requested them to tell us the names of their leaders, in order that we could tell you who they were.
Amola ninia da dima amo hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunu dio olelemusa: , ninia da Yu dunu ilia ouligisu dio adole ba: i.
11 “But [instead of telling us their leaders’ names, ] what they said was, ‘We serve the God [who created] the heaven and the earth. Many years ago a great king [who ruled] us Israeli people [told our ancestors to] build a temple here, and now we are rebuilding it.
Ilia da ninima adole i, ‘Nini da Gode (Hebene amola osobo bagade amoma Hina Bagade) amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Musa: hemonega, gasa bagade Isala: ili ouligisu da amo Debolo diasu gagui amola hahamoi. Ninia da amo diasu bu gagulala.
12 “'But God, [who rules] in heaven, allowed [the armies of] Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylonia, to destroy that temple, because our ancestors did things that caused God to become very angry. Nebuchadnezzar’s army took [many of] the [Israeli] people to Babylonia.
Be ninia aowalali dunu da wadela: le hamoiba: le, Hebene Gode da ougi galu. Amaiba: le, Gode da ea logo fodobeba: le, Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese (e da Ga: ledia: ne fi dunu) da ninia fi dunuma hasalasi. E da Debolo diasu wadela: lesi amola dunu huluane mugululi Ba: bilone sogega masa: ne mugululi asi.
13 “'However, during the first year that Cyrus the King of Babylon started to rule, he decreed that the temple of God should be rebuilt.
Amalalu, hina bagade Sailase da Ba: bilone ouligisu hou laloba, ode bisili amoga, e da Debolo diasu bu gaguma: ne sia: i.
14 Cyrus returned [to the Jewish leaders] all the gold and silver cups that had been taken from the temple in Jerusalem and which had been put in the temple in Babylon. Those cups were given to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom King Cyrus had appointed to be the governor in Judah.
Musa: Nebiuga: denese da Yelusaleme Debolo amoga silifa ofodo amola gouli ofodo, amo lale, eno ogogole ‘gode’ liligi ea debolo Ba: bilone soge ganodini ligisi. Amo huluane, Sailase da Yu dunuma bu iasu. E da Sieseba: isa amo Yuda eagene hawa: hamomusa: ilegei amola amo liligi ema i.
15 “'The king instructed him to take the cups back to Jerusalem, to the place [from which they had previously been taken]. He also decreed that they should rebuild the temple at the place where it had been before. So Cyrus appointed Sheshbazzar to be the governor in Judah. He also sent all those things made of gold and silver, for Sheshbazzar to put in the new temple.
Sailase da ema e da amo liligi bu Yelusaleme Debolo diasu ganodini salima: ne amola Debolo ea musa: sogebi amoga bu gaguma: ne sia: i.
16 So Sheshbazzar did that. He came here to Jerusalem, and [supervised the men who] laid the foundation of the temple. And since that time, the people have been working on the temple, but it is not finished yet.’
Amaiba: le, Sieseba: isa da misini, Debolo ea bai hamoi. Amalalu, ninia da Debolo diasu gagulalu, be wali gagui da hame dagoi.
17 “Therefore, your majesty, please order someone to search in the place in Babylon where the important records are kept, to find out whether [it is true that] King Cyrus decreed that God’s temple should be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Then you can tell us what you want us to do about this matter.”
Defea! Hina bagade! Di da hanai galea, dia fidisu dunu da eagene ilia meloa dedei ganodini hogole ba: mu da defea. Sailase da amo Debolo diasu Yelusaleme amo ganodini bu gaguma: ne sia: bela: o hame sia: bela: , amo hogole ba: ma. Amasea, dia hanai amo ninima adoma,” Yu dunu ilia da amane sia: i.
