Ezra 3
1 Da tsayawar watan bakwai, sai Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka koma garuruwansu suka taru da nufi ɗaya a Urushalima.
And when the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
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.
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, stood up and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
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.
And they set the altar upon its base, for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries. And they offered burnt offerings on it to Jehovah, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
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.
And they kept the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required.
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.
And afterward the continual burnt offering, and the offerings of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Jehovah.
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.
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not yet laid.
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.
Also they gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters, and food, and drink, and oil, to those of Sidon, and to those of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
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.
Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who came out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began. And they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Jehovah.
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.
Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, stood together to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
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.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, after the order of David king of Israel.
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.
And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his loving kindness is forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.
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.
But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, and many shouted aloud for joy.
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.
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
