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.
Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel.
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 Josue the son of Josedec, and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, and with them were the prophets of God helping 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?”
And at the same time came to them Thathanai, who was governor beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and their counsellors: and said thus to them: Who hath given you counsel to build this house, and to repair the walls thereof?
4 Suka kuma tambaye su “Ina sunayen waɗanda suke wannan gini?”
In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building.
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 eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation.
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 the letter that Thathanai governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors the Arphasachites, who dwelt beyond the river, sent to Darius the king.
7 Ga rahoton da suka aika masa. Zuwa ga Sarki Dariyus. Gaisuwa da fatan alheri.
The letter which they sent him, was written thus: To Darius the king all peace.
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 to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently, and advanceth 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?”
And we asked those ancients, and said to them thus: Who hath given you authority to build this house, and to repair these walls?
10 Muka kuma tambaye su sunayensu don mu rubuta mu sanar da kai waɗanda suke shugabanninsu.
We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them.
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 in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up.
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 had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people 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.
But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth 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 vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor,
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 these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its 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 came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet 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.
Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king’s library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
