Ezra 5
1 Sai annabi Haggai, da annabi Zakariya zuriyar Iddo, suka yi wa Yahudawa a Yahuda da Urushalima annabci a cikin sunan Allah na Isra’ila wanda yake da mulki a kansu.
And Aggaeus the prophet, and Zacharias the [son] of Addo, prophesied a prophesy to the Jews in Juda and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, [even] to them.
2 Sa’an nan Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel da Yeshuwa ɗan Yozadak suka yi shiri suka kama aikin sāke gina gidan Allah a Urushalima. Annabawan Allah kuwa suna tare da su, suna taimakonsu.
Then rose up Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of God that was in Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets of God assisting them.
3 A wannan lokaci, Tattenai gwamnan Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, da Shetar-Bozenai da abokansu suka je wurinsu suka tambaye su cewa, “Wa ya ba ku iko ku sāke gina wannan haikali har ku gyara katangar?”
At the same time came there upon them Thanthanai, the governor on this side the river, and Satharbuzanai, and their fellow-servants, and spoke thus to them, Who has ordained a decree for you to build this house, and to [provide] this preparation?
4 Suka kuma tambaye su “Ina sunayen waɗanda suke wannan gini?”
Then they spoke thus to them, What are the names of the men that build this city?
5 Amma Allah yana tsaron dattawan Yahudawa, saboda haka ba a hana su aikin ba har sai rahoto ya kai wurin Dariyus aka kuma sami amsarsa a rubuce tukuna.
But the eyes of God were upon the captivity of Juda, and they did not cause them to cease till the decree was brought to Darius; and then was sent by the tribute-gatherer concerning this
6 Ga wasiƙar da Tattenai, gwamnan Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, da Shetar-Bozenai da abokansu masu riƙe da muƙamai a Kewayen Kogin Yuferites suka aika wa Sarki Dariyus.
the copy of a letter, which Thanthanai, the governor of the part on this side the river, and Satharbuzanai, and their fellow-servants the Apharsachaeans who were on this side of the river, sent to king Darius.
7 Ga rahoton da suka aika masa. Zuwa ga Sarki Dariyus. Gaisuwa da fatan alheri.
They sent an account to him, and thus it was written in it: All peace to king Darius.
8 Ya kamata sarki yă sani cewa mun je yankin Yahuda, zuwa gidan Allah mai girma. Muka ga mutanen suna ginin haikalin da manyan duwatsu, suna sa katakai a bangon. Ana aikin da ƙwazo, aikin kuma yana cin gaba sosai, suna kuma lura da shi.
Be it known to the king, that we went into the land of Judea, to the house of the great God; and it is building with choice stones, and they are laying timbers in the walls, and that work is prospering, and goes on favourably in their hands.
9 Mun tambayi dattawan muka ce musu, “Wa ya ba ku iko ku sāke gina wannan haikali, ku kuma sāke gyara katangarsa?”
Then we asked those elders, and thus we said to them, Who gave you the order to build this house, and to [provide] this preparation?
10 Muka kuma tambaye su sunayensu don mu rubuta mu sanar da kai waɗanda suke shugabanninsu.
And we asked them their names, [in order] to declare [them] to you, so as to write to you the names of their leading men.
11 Wannan ita ce amsar da suka ba mu. “Mu bayin Allah na sama da ƙasa ne, muna sāke gina haikalin da aka gina tun shekaru da yawa da suka wuce, da wani babban sarkin Isra’ila ya gina ya kuma gama.
And they answered us thus, saying, We [are] the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we [are] building the house which had been built many years before this, and a great king of Israel built it, and established it for them.
12 Amma domin kakanninmu sun ɓata wa Allah na sama rai, sai ya bari suka fāɗa cikin hannun Nebukadnezzar mutumin Kaldiya, sarkin Babilon, wanda ya rushe wannan haikali, ya kuma kwashe mutane zuwa Babilon.
But after that our fathers provoked the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the Chaldean, king of Babylon, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people captive to Babylon.
13 “Duk da haka, a shekara ta farko ta mulkin Sairus sarkin Babilon, Sarki Sairus ya ba da umarni cewa a sāke gina wannan gidan Allah.
And in the first year of king Cyrus, Cyrus the king made a decree that this house of God should be built.
14 Ya kuma kwashe kwanonin zinariya da azurfa na gidan Allah daga haikalin Babilon waɗanda Nebukadnezzar ya kwasa daga haikali a Urushalima. Sa’an nan sarki Sairus ya ba wa wani mutum mai suna Sheshbazzar umarni wanda ya sa ya zama gwamna,
And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nabuchodonosor brought out from the house that was in Jerusalem, and carried them into the temple of the king, them did king Cyrus bring out from the temple of the king, and gave them to Sabanasar the treasurer, who was over the treasurer;
15 ya ce masa, ‘Ka kwashe kayan nan ka je ka zuba su a cikin haikalin Allah a Urushalima. Ka kuma sāke gina gidan Allah a wurin da yake a dā.’
and said to him, Take all the vessels, and go, put them in the house that is in Jerusalem in their place.
16 “Saboda haka Sheshbazzar ya so ya aza harsashin gina gidan Allah a Urushalima. Tun daga wancan lokaci har zuwa yau ana kan gina shi amma ba a gama ba.”
Then that Sabanazar came, and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem: and from that time even until now it has been building, and has not been finished.
17 Yanzu in sarki yana so, bari a duba cikin littattafan tarihi na sarakuna na Babilon a gani ko lalle sarki Sairus ya ba da umarni a sāke gina gidan Allah a Urushalima. Bari sarki yă aiko mana da abin da ya gani game da wannan abu.
And now, if it [seem] good to the king, lest search be made in the treasure-house of the king at Babylon, that you may know [if it be] that a decree was made by king Cyrus to build that house of God that was in Jerusalem, and let the king send to us when he has learnt concerning this [matter].
