Ezra 3
1 Da tsayawar watan bakwai, sai Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka koma garuruwansu suka taru da nufi ɗaya a Urushalima.
Kwathi sekufika inyanga yesikhombisa, lapho abako-Israyeli sebehlezi emizini yakibo, abantu babuthana njengomuntu munye eJerusalema.
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.
Kwasekusithi uJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki labaphristi ayesebenza labo kanye loZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli labakhula bakhe baqalisa ukwakha i-alithari likaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukwenza umhlatshelo womnikelo wokutshiswa kulo, mayelana lalokho okulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaMosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
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.
Lokuba babesesaba abantu bendawo, balakha i-alithari esisekelweni salo benza iminikelo yokutshiswa kuThixo kulo, yomibili imihlatshelo yokusa lowokuhlwa.
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.
Kwathi njalo belandela okulotshiweyo bawugubha uMkhosi weziHonqo besenza inani elifaneleyo leminikelo yokutshiswa elungiselwe lelo lalelo ilanga.
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.
Emva kwalokho baletha iminikelo yenjayelo eyokutshiswa, iminikelo yokuThwasa kweNyanga leminikelo yayo yonke imikhosi kaThixo emisiweyo engcwele, kanye laleyo eyayilethwa njengeminikelo yokuzithandela eyalethwa kuThixo.
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.
Ngelanga lokuqala lenyanga yesikhombisa baqalisa ukuletha iminikelo yokutshiswa kuThixo, lokuba isisekelo sethempeli likaThixo sasingakabekwa.
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.
Basebesipha ababazi bamatshe lababazi nje imali, bapha ukudla lokunathwayo lamafutha ebantwini baseThire leSidoni, ukuze balethe izigodo zemisedari ngendlela yolwandle kusuka eLebhanoni kusiya eJopha njengoba kwakuvunyelwe nguKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya.
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.
Ngenyanga yesibili ngomnyaka wesibili bebuyile endlini kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, uZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, loJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki labo bonke abafowabo (abaphristi labaLevi labo bonke ababuyayo eJerusalema bevela ebugqilini) bawuqalisa umsebenzi, bakhetha abaLevi abaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu ukuthi baphathe umsebenzi wokwakha indlu kaThixo.
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.
UJeshuwa lamadodana akhe labafowabo loKhadimiyeli lamadodana akhe (abazukulu bakaHodaviya) lamadodana kaHenadadi kanye lamadodana abo labafowabo, bonke bengabaLevi, bahlangana ndawonye ukukhangela labo ababesebenza endlini kaNkulunkulu.
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.
Kwathi abakhi sebesibekile isisekelo sethempeli likaThixo abaphristi bagqoka izembatho zabo, baphatha amachacho, kanye labaLevi (amadodana ka-Asafi) bephethe izigubhu, bonke bema ezindaweni zabo ukudumisa uThixo njengokwamiswa nguDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli.
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.
Badumisa bebonga, bahlabelela uThixo bathi: “Ulungile; uthando lwakhe ku-Israyeli lumi laphakade.” Bonke abantu bamemeza bedumisa uThixo ngoba isisekelo sendlu kaThixo sasesibekiwe.
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.
Kodwa abanengi babaphristi abadala labaLevi kanye lezikhulu zezimuli ababelibonile ithempeli lakuqala, bakhala kakhulu bebona isisekelo saleli ithempeli sibekwa, ikanti abanye babo bamemeza ngokuthaba.
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.
Kakho owayengawehlukanisa umsindo wokumemeza kokuthokoza lomsindo wokukhala ngoba abantu benza umsindo omangalisayo. Njalo umsindo lowo wezwakala kude.
