Ezra 3
1 Da tsayawar watan bakwai, sai Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka koma garuruwansu suka taru da nufi ɗaya a Urushalima.
And the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel [were] in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at 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 stood up Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, according to the things that were 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 up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole burnt offerings was offered up upon it to the Lord 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, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole burnt offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.
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 after this the perpetual whole burnt offering, and [offering] for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free will offering to the Lord.
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.
On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not 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.
And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.
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.
And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in the house of the Lord.
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.
And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, their sons and their brethren 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 they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to 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 answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for his mercy to Israel [endures] for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.
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 the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and [who saw] this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.
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.
And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.
