Ezra 7
1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Wantoota kanneen booddee bara Arxeksis mooticha Faares keessa Izraan ilmi Seraayaa, ilmi Azaariyaa ilmi Hilqiyaa,
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
ilmi Shaluum, ilmi Zaadoq, ilmi Ahiixuub,
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
ilmi Amariyaa, ilmi Azaariyaa, ilmi Meraayoot,
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
ilmi Zeraayaa, ilmi Uzii, ilmi Bukii,
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
ilmi Abiishuuwaa, ilmi Fiinehaas, ilmi Eleʼaazaar, ilmi Aroon lubicha ol aanaa
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.
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 Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to 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 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Izraanis waggaa torbaffaa bara mootii sanaa keessa jiʼa shanaffaatti Yerusaalem gaʼe.
9 For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on 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 set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
Izraan Seera Waaqayyoo quʼachuu fi eeguudhaaf akkasumas labsii fi ajaja seerichaa Israaʼel keessatti barsiisuudhaaf of kennee tureetii.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to 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, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
Arxeksis mootii moototaa irraa; Gara Izraa lubicha, barsiisaa Seera Waaqa samiitti: Nagaan siif haa taʼu.
13 I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
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 Because you are sent by the king and his seven counsellors to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your 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 counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
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 gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering 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 you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on 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 Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
Ergasii atii fi obboloonni kee Yihuudoonni meetii fi warqee hafe akkuma fedhii Waaqa keessaniitti waanuma gaarii isinitti fakkaate irra oolchaa.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Miʼa waaqeffannaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keetii keessaaf imaanaa sitti kenname hunda Waaqa Yerusaalem duratti dhiʼeessi.
20 Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
Waan mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keetiif barbaadamu kan kennuu feetu hunda mankuusa mootii keessaa fuudhii kenni.
21 I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
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 up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
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 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why 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 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or labourers of this house of God.
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 You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.
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 Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgement be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is 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 the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house 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 has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel 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.
