6 Shi Ezra ɗin ya zo daga Babilon. Shi malami ne ya kuma san Dokar Musa sosai wadda Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya bayar. Sarki ya ba shi duk abin da ya roƙa, gama Ubangiji Allahnsa yana tare da shi.
this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
7 Waɗansu Isra’ilawa, haɗe da firistoci, da Lawiyawa, da mawaƙa, da masu tsaron ƙofofi, da masu aiki a haikali su ma suka zo Urushalima a shekara ta bakwai a zamanin mulkin sarki Artazerzes.
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 Ezra ya iso Urushalima a wata na biyar na shekara ta bakwai na kama mulkin sarkin.
And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9 Ya fara tafiyarsa daga Babilon a rana ta farko ga watan farko, ya kuma iso Urushalima a rana ta farko ga watan biyar, gama alherin Allahnsa yana tare da shi.
For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
10 Gama Ezra ya miƙa kansa ga bincike da kuma kiyaye Dokar Ubangiji, da kuma koya wa Isra’ilawa dokoki da kuma umarnan Ubangiji.
For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
11 Ga wasiƙar da sarki Artazerzes ya ba Ezra wanda yake firist da kuma malami, mutumin da yake cike da sani game da dokoki da kuma umarnan Ubangiji wa Isra’ila.
Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of His statutes to Israel:
12 Artazerzes, sarkin sarakuna. Zuwa ga Ezra firist, malamin Dokar Allah na sama. Gaisuwa.
'Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, and so forth. And now
13 Yanzu ina ba da umarni cewa duk wani mutumin Isra’ilan da yake cikin mulkina, haɗe da firistoci, da Lawiyawa, da suke so su tafi tare da kai zuwa Urushalima za su iya tafiya.
I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go with thee to Jerusalem, go.
14 Sarki ne da mashawartansa guda bakwai suka aike ka don ka je ka ga halin da Yahuda da Urushalima suke ciki game da dokokin Allahnka, waɗanda suke a hannunka.
Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
15 Za ka kuma tafi da zinariya da azurfa waɗanda sarki da mashawartansa suka ba da kyautar yardar rai ga Allah na Isra’ila, wanda haikalinsa ke a Urushalima,
and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16 haɗe da duk zinariya da azurfan da za ka iya samu a Babilon, da kuma duk bayarwar yardar rai daga mutane da firistoci, domin haikalin Allahnsu da yake a Urushalima.
and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
17 Ka tabbata ka yi amfani da kuɗin nan don ka sayi bijimai, da raguna, da’yan raguna, da hadayu na gari, da na sha, ka kuma miƙa su a kan bagade na haikalin Allahnka a Urushalima.
therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 Sa’an nan kai da’yan’uwanka Yahudawa ku yi abin da kuka ga ya fi kyau da sauran zinariya da azurfa ɗin bisa ga nufin Allah.
And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God.
19 Ka kai wa Allah na Urushalima duk kayan da aka ba ka amanarsu don yin sujada a haikalin Allahnka.
And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
20 Duk kuma wani abin da ake bukata domin haikalin Allahnka, daga ɗakunan ajiya sarki za ka fitar da kuɗin.
And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house.
21 Yanzu fa ni, Sarki Artazerzes, ina ba da umarni ga kowane ma’aji na Kewayen Kogin Yuferites su tanada duk abin da Ezra firist, wanda kuma yake malamin Dokar Allah na sama zai bukaci,
And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers that are beyond the River, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
22 har zuwa talenti ɗari na azurfa, da mudu ɗari na alkama, da garwa ɗari na ruwan inabi, da garwa ɗari na man zaitun, da kuma gishiri ba iyaka.
unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
23 A yi duk abin da Allah na sama ya ce don haikalin Allah na sama, sai a yi shi da himma. Me zai sa a jawo wa sarki da’ya’yansa fushin Allah?
Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Ku kuma san cewa, ba ku da ikon sa firistoci, da Lawiyawa, da mawaƙa, da masu tsaron ƙofofin haikali, da masu aiki a gidan Allah, ko waɗansu masu aiki a haikali su biya haraji, ko kuɗin shiga.
Also we announce to you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, impost, or toll, upon them.
25 Kai kuma Ezra, bisa ga hikimar da Allah ya ba ka, sai ka zaɓi mahukunta da alƙalai waɗanda za su zama masu yanke hukunci ga dukan mutanen Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, duk waɗanda suka san dokokin Allahnka, ka kuma koya wa duk waɗanda ba su san dokokin ba.
And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not.
26 Ba shakka duk wanda bai yi biyayya da dokokin Allahnka ba, da kuma dokokin sarki ba dole a yanke masa hukuncin kisa, ko hukuncin kora, ko hukuncin raba shi da mallakarsa, ko kuma hukuncin kulle shi a kurkuku.
And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.'
27 Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninmu, ya taɓa zuciyar sarki don yă kawo ɗaukaka ga haikalin Allah a Urushalima ta wannan hanya.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem;
28 Wanda kuma ya sa na sami tagomashi a gaban sarki da mashawartansa, da kuma duk manyan masu muƙami nasa. Gama Ubangiji Allahna yana tare da ni, sai na sami ƙarfin hali na tattara shugabannin mutane daga Isra’ila, don mu tafi tare.
and hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
