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.
Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at 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?”
At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus to them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
4 Suka kuma tambaye su “Ina sunayen waɗanda suke wannan gini?”
Then said we to them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make 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.
But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
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 Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side of the river, sent to Darius the king:
7 Ga rahoton da suka aika masa. Zuwa ga Sarki Dariyus. Gaisuwa da fatan alheri.
They sent a letter to him, in which 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 into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work proceedeth quickly, and prospereth 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 said to them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to finish these walls?
10 Muka kuma tambaye su sunayensu don mu rubuta mu sanar da kai waɗanda suke shugabanninsu.
We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of 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 thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago, 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 gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into 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 the same king Cyrus 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 the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had 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, Take these vessels, go, carry them into 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 the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it 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.
Now therefore, if it seemeth good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so, that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
