< Ezra 4 >

1 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building the temple 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 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said to them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice to him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assur, who brought us up 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 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said to them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath 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 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
Markaasaa dadkii dalka degganaa waxay daaliyeen gacmihii dadkii reer Yahuudah, oo waxdhisiddiina way ka cabsiiyeen,
5 And hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, 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 beginning of his reign, they wrote [to him] 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 wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions to Artaxerxes king of Persia, and the writing of the letter [was] written in the Syrian language, and interpreted in the Syrian language.
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 the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
Taliyihii Rexuum ahaa iyo karraanigii Shimshay ahaa ayaa sidan warqad Yeruusaalem ka gees ah ugu soo qoray Boqor Artaxshasta.
9 Then [wrote] Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dianites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, [and] the 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 whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest [that are] on this side of 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] the copy of the letter that they sent to him, [even] to Artaxerxes the king: Thy servants the men on this side of 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 came from thee to us are come to Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the noxious city, and have set up its walls, and joined the foundations.
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 Be it known now to the king, that, if this city shall be built, and the walls set up [again], [then] they will not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and [so] thou wilt endamage the revenue of 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 we have maintenance from [the king's] palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonor, therefore have we sent and certified 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 search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so wilt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city [is] a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
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 certify the king that, if this city shall be built [again], and its walls set up, by this means thou wilt have no portion on this side of 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 [Then] the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and [to] Shimshai the scribe, and [to] the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and [to] 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 which ye sent to us hath been plainly read before me.
Warqaddii aad noo soo dirteen bayaan ayaa hortayda loogu akhriyey.
19 And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and [that] rebellion and sedition have been 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 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all [countries] beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid 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 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until [another] commandment shall be given from me.
Haddaba idinku waxaad amar ku bixisaan in nimankaasu shuqulka joojiyaan iyo inaan magaaladaas la dhisin ilaa aan amar bixiyo.
22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Oo idinku iska jira inaydnaan xaalkaas daynin, waayo, bal maxaa khasaare ugu sii kordhaya in waxyeello boqorrada gaadho?
23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter [was] read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
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 which [is] at Jerusalem. So 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.
