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 the prophets have prophesied (Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo) to the Jews who [are] in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the Name of the God of Israel—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 Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, have risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting 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 that time have come to them Tatnai, governor beyond the river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they are saying to them, “Who has made for you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”
4 Suka kuma tambaye su “Ina sunayen waɗanda suke wannan gini?”
Then we have said thus to them, “What [are] the names of the men who are building this 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.
And the eye of their God has been on [the] elders of [the] Jews, and they have not caused them to cease until [the] matter goes to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning this thing.
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 that Tatnai, governor beyond the river, has sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, to Darius the king.
7 Ga rahoton da suka aika masa. Zuwa ga Sarki Dariyus. Gaisuwa da fatan alheri.
A letter they have sent to him, and thus is it written in it:
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.
“To Darius the king, all peace! Be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.
9 Mun tambayi dattawan muka ce musu, “Wa ya ba ku iko ku sāke gina wannan haikali, ku kuma sāke gyara katangarsa?”
Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who has made for you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?
10 Muka kuma tambaye su sunayensu don mu rubuta mu sanar da kai waɗanda suke shugabanninsu.
And also their names we have asked of them, to let you know, that we might write the names of the men who [are] at their head.
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 thus they have returned us word, saying, We [are] servants of the God of the heavens and earth, and are building the house that was built many years before this, that a great king of Israel built and finished:
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 made the God of the heavens angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he removed 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 king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God,
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 also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, them has Cyrus the king brought forth out of the temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one], Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made 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, Lift up these vessels, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is built on 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 this Sheshbazzar has come—he has laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from there even until now it has been building, and is not 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 is good to the king, let a search be made in the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon, whether it be that there was a decree made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king concerning this thing he sends to us.”
