Ezra 3
1 Da tsayawar watan bakwai, sai Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka koma garuruwansu suka taru da nufi ɗaya a Urushalima.
Utafika mwezi wa chisanu ndi chiwiri Aisraeli atakhala kale mʼmidzi yawo, anthu anasonkhana ku Yerusalemu ndi cholinga chimodzi.
2 Sai Yeshuwa ɗan Yozadak da sauran firistoci, da Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel da abokan aikinsa, suka fara gina bagaden Allah na Isra’ila don miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce a Dokar Musa mutumin Allah.
Kenaka Yesuwa mwana wa Yozadaki ndi ansembe anzake pamodzi ndi Zerubabeli mwana wa Sealatieli ndi abale ake anayamba kumanga guwa lansembe la Mulungu wa Israeli. Anatero pofuna kuti aziperekapo nsembe zopsereza monga analembera mʼbuku la Mose, munthu wa Mulungu uja.
3 Duk da tsoron da suke ji na mutanen da suke kewaye da su, sun gina bagaden a wurinsa, suka kuma miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa a kan bagaden ga Ubangiji safe da yamma.
Ndi mantha ndi mantha chifukwa cha anthu a mʼmayikomo, iwo anamanga guwalo pa maziko ake akale, ndipo anapereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Mulungu pa guwapo mmawa ndi madzulo.
4 Bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce kuma, suka yi biki Bikin Tabanakul, suka miƙa hadayu kowace rana gwargwadon yawan hadayun da ake bukata.
Ankasunga tsiku la chikondwerero cha misasa monga momwe zinalembedwera. Ankaperekanso nsembe za tsiku ndi tsiku monga mwa chiwerengero chake potsata mwambo wake wa tsiku ndi tsiku monga zinalembedwa.
5 Bayan wannan, suka miƙa hadayu na ƙonawa yadda aka saba. Suka miƙa hadayu na Sabon Wata, da hadayu na bukukkuwan Ubangiji, da kuma hadayun da aka bayar da yardar rai ga Ubangiji.
Pambuyo pake, ankapereka nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zopereka pa nthawi ya mwezi watsopano ndi za pa masiku onse a chikondwerero oyikidwa kutamandira Yehova, kudzanso nsembe zaufulu zopereka kwa Yehova.
6 A ranar farko ta watan bakwai, sai suka fara miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Ubangiji, ko da yake ba a riga an aza harsashin ginin haikalin Ubangiji ba.
Kuyambira pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, iwo anayambanso kupereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova, ngakhale kuti maziko a Nyumba ya Yehova anali asanamangidwe.
7 Sai suka ba wa magina da kafintoci kuɗi, suka ba wa mutanen Sidon da na Taya abinci, da abin sha, da mai, don su kawo itatuwan al’ul a Yaffa daga Lebanon ta teku, yadda Sairus sarkin Farisa ya ba da umarni.
Ndipo anapereka ndalama kwa amisiri a miyala ndi kwa amisiri a matabwa, ndi chakudya, chakumwa ndi mafuta kwa anthu a ku Sidoni ndi a ku Turo, kuti abweretse mitengo ya mkungudza pa nyanja kuchokera ku Lebanoni mpaka ku Yopa. Zonsezi anachita malinga ndi chilolezo chimene analandira kuchokera kwa Koresi, mfumu ya Peresiya.
8 A wata na biyu na shekara ta biyu, bayan sun komo gidan Allah a Urushalima, sai Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel, Yoshuwa ɗan Yozadak da sauran’yan’uwansa (Firistoci da Lawiyawa da duk waɗanda suka komo Urushalima daga bauta) suka fara aiki, aka zaɓi Lawiyawa daga masu shekaru ashirin da haihuwa zuwa waɗanda suka wuce haka don su dubi aikin ginin gidan Ubangiji.
Tsono mu chaka chachiwiri atabwera ku Yerusalemu, ku malo akale a Nyumba ya Yehova, mwezi wachiwiri Zerubabeli mwana wa Sealatieli, Yesuwa mwana wa Yozadaki pamodzi ndi abale awo onse, ansembe, Alevi ndi onse amene anabwera ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku ukapolo, anayamba kugwira ntchito. Iwo anasankha Alevi a zaka zoyambira makumi awiri kuti aziyangʼanira ntchito ya kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova.
9 Yeshuwa da’ya’yansa maza, da’yan’uwansa, da Kadmiyel da’ya’yan Yahuda (’yan zuriyar Hodawiya), da’ya’yan Henadad, da’ya’yansu da’yan’uwansu, dukansu Lawiyawa ne, suka haɗa kai cikin duban masu aikin gidan Allah.
Yesuwa ndi ana ake aamuna kudzanso abale ake, Kadimieli ndi ana ake (ana a Yuda) onse pamodzi anasenza udindo woyangʼanira antchito ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, kuphatikizanso ana a Henadadi komanso Alevi, ana awo ndi abale awo.
10 Da masu ginin suka aza harsashin ginin haikalin Ubangiji, sai firistoci suka sa kayansu na firistoci suka riƙe ƙahonin busa, Lawiyawa (’ya’yan Asaf) kuwa suka riƙe kuge, suka yi shiri domin su rera yabo ga Ubangiji kamar yadda Dawuda Sarkin Isra’ila ya ba da umarni.
Amisiri omanga nyumba atamanga maziko a Nyumba ya Yehova, ansembe anabwera akuyimba malipenga, atavala zovala zaunsembe. Ndipo Alevi, zidzukulu za Asafu, anadza akuyimba matambolini ndi kutenga udindo wawo wotamanda Yehova, potsata malangizo a Davide mfumu ya Aisraeli.
11 Suka rera waƙar yabo da godiya ga Ubangiji, suna cewa, “Shi nagari ne; ƙaunarsa kuwa ga Isra’ila har abada ce.” Dukan jama’a kuwa suka yabi Ubangiji da murya mai ƙarfi, domin an aza harsashin ginin gidan Ubangiji.
Iwo ankayimba motamanda ndi mothokoza Yehova nyimbo iyi: “Yehova ndi wabwino; chikondi chake pa Israeli ndi chamuyaya.” Ndipo anthu onse ankafuwula kwambiri kumutamanda Yehova, chifukwa maziko a Nyumba ya Yehova anali kumangidwa.
12 Amma tsofaffin firistoci, da Lawiyawa, da shugabannin iyalai da yawa, waɗanda dā suka ga yadda haikali na farko yake, suka fashe da kuka mai ƙarfi sa’ad da suka ga an aza harsashin ginin wannan haikali, yayinda waɗansu kuma suka yi ihu da farin ciki.
Koma ambiri mwa ansembe, Alevi ndiponso atsogoleri amabanja, akuluakulu amene anaona Nyumba ya Yehova yakale, analira mokweza pamene anaona maziko a nyumbayi akumangidwa. Komanso ena ambiri ankafuwula mosangalala.
13 Ba wanda zai iya rabe tsakanin ihun farin ciki da na kuka, domin mutanen sun tā da murya sosai har aka ji su daga nesa.
Choncho panalibe amene ankatha kusiyanitsa liwu lofuwula mokondwerera ndi liwu la anthu olira, chifukwa anthuwo ankafuwula kwambiri. Ndipo liwu lofuwulalo limamveka kutali.
