Ezra 5
1 And prophesied have the prophets, (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) unto the Jews who [are] in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel — unto them.
Yeroo kanatti Haageen raajichii fi Zakkaariyaas ilmi Iddoo raajichi, maqaa Waaqa Israaʼel kan isaan wajjin jiraatu sanaan Yihuudoota warra Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessa jiranitti raajii dubbatan.
2 Then have Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting them.
Kana irratti Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeelii fi Iyyaasuun ilmi Yoosaadaaq Yerusaalem keessatti mana Waaqaa deebisanii ijaaruu jalqaban. Raajonni Waaqaas isaan gargaaruuf isaanuma wajjin turan.
3 At that time come to them hath Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, 'Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?'
Yeroo sanatti Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi deeggartoonni isaanii gara isaanii dhaqanii, “Akka isin mana qulqullummaa kana deebiftanii ijaartanii fi akka isin dallaa dhagaa kanas akka duriitti deebiftan eenyutu isiniif eeyyame?” jedhanii gaafatan.
4 Then thus we have said to them, 'What [are] the names of the men who are building this building?'
Akkasumas, “Maqaan warra mana kana ijaaruu eenyu faʼi?” jedhanii gaafatan.
5 And the eye of their God hath been upon the elders of the Jews, and they have not caused them to cease till the matter goeth to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.
Garuu iji Waaqa isaanii maanguddoota Yihuudaa irra turte; isaanis hamma gabaasni sun Daariyoos bira gaʼee deebiin isaa barreeffamaan dhufutti hojii hin dhaabne.
6 The copy of a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, hath sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, unto Darius the king.
Kunis garagalchaa xalayaa Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayi, deeggartoonni isaanii fi qondaaltonni Gama Laga Efraaxiis jiraatan Daariyoos Mootichatti erganii ti.
7 A letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in it:
Gabaasni isaan erganiif sunis akkana jedha: Gara Daariyoos Mootichaa: Nagaa ulfinaan guutame siif ergina.
8 'To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.
Mootichi akka nu gara aanaa Yihuudaa gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqa guddichaa dhaqnee turre haa beeku. Namoonni dhagaa gurguddaadhaan mana sana ijaaraa, laaxaas keenyan manaa keessa kaaʼaa jiru. Hojiin kunis ciminaan hojjetamaa harka isaanii jalatti guddina argisiisaa jira.
9 Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?
Nu maanguddoota sana dubbifnee, “Eenyutu akka isin mana qulqullummaa kana deebiftanii ijaartanii fi akka isin ijaarsa isaa akka duriitti deebiftan isiniif eeyyame?” jennee isaan gaafanne.
10 And also their names we have asked of them, to let thee know, that we might write the names of the men who [are] at their head.
Akkasumas akka maqaa hooggantoota isaanii barreessinee si beeksifnuuf maqaa isaanii illee gaafannee ture.
11 'And thus they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:
Isaanis deebii kana nuu kennan: “Nu garboota Waaqa samii fi lafaa ti; nu mana qulqullummaa kan bara dheeraan dura ijaarame, kan mootiin Israaʼel guddichi ijaaree fixe sana deebifnee ijaaraa jirra.
12 but after that our fathers made the God of heaven angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed to Babylon;
Garuu sababii abbootiin keenya Waaqa samii aarsaniif inni dabarsee harka Nebukadnezar namicha biyya Kaldootaa, mootii Baabilonitti isaan kenne; innis mana qulqullummaa kana barbadeessee uummatas biyyaa baasee Baabilonitti geesse.
13 but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God,
“Taʼu illee waggaa tokkoffaa bara mootummaa Qiiros mooticha Baabilon keessa Qiiros Mootichi akka manni Waaqaa kun deebifame ijaaramuuf labsii tokko labse.
14 and also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them hath Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made governor,
Innis miʼa warqee fi meetii mana Waaqaa kan Nebukadnezar mana qulqullummaa Yerusaalem keessaa guuree Baabilonitti geesse sana masaraa mootummaa Baabilon keessaa ni baase. Qiiros Mootichi namicha Sheeshbasaar jedhamu kan inni bulchaa godhee muude sanatti miʼa kana kennee
15 and said to him, These vessels lift up, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is builded on its place.
akkana jedheen; ‘Miʼa kana fuudhii dhaqiitii mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanatti galchi. Mana Waaqaas iddoo isaatti deebisii ijaari.’
16 Then hath this Sheshbazzar come — he hath laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from thence even till now it hath been building, and is not finished.
“Ergasiis Sheeshbasaar kun dhufee hundee mana Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa buuse. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee hamma ammaatti manni sun ijaaramaa jira; garuu amma illee hin dhumne.”
17 'And now, if to the king it be good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that of Cyrus the king there was made a decree to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he doth send unto us.'
Egaa amma yoo fedhii mootichaa taʼe, Qiiros Mootichi dhugumaan akka manni Waaqaa kun Yerusaalem keessatti deebifamee ijaaramuuf labsii baasuu fi baasuu baachuu isaa beekuuf galmeen masaraa mootummaa Baabilon haa qoratamu. Ergasiis mootichi yaada waan kana irratti qabu nuuf haa ergu.
