Ezra 8
1 Waɗannan su ne shugabannin iyalai, da kuma waɗanda suka dawo tare da ni daga Babilon a zamanin mulkin Sarki Artazerzes.
Now these are the heads of their fathers’ households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:

13 zuriya ta Adonikam ne suka zo daga ƙarshe, sunayensu kuwa su ne Elifelet, Yehiyel da Shemahiya, tare da su akwai mutum 60;
Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, their names are: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
14 daga zuriyar Bigwai, Uttai da Zakkur ne shugabanni, tare da su akwai mutum 70.
Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
15 Na kuma tattara su a bakin rafi wanda yake gangarawa zuwa Ahawa, muka kafa sansani a can kwana uku. Da na bincika cikin mutane da firistoci, sai na tarar babu Lawiyawa.
I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days. Then I looked around at the people and the priests, and found there were none of the sons of Levi.
16 Saboda haka sai na aika a kira Eliyezer, da Ariyel, da Shemahiya, da Elnatan, da Yarib, da Natan, da Zakariya, da Meshullam waɗanda su ne shugabanni. Na kuma sa a kira Yohiyarib da Elnatan waɗanda masana ne.
Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, for Elnathan, for Jarib, for Elnathan, for Nathan, for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, who were teachers.
17 Na sa su je wurin Iddo wanda yake shugaba a Kasifiya. Aka gaya musu abin da za su gaya wa Iddo da’yan’uwansa masu aiki a haikali a Kasifiya don su aiko mana waɗanda za su yi mana hidima a haikalin Allahnmu.
I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo and his brothers the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
18 Da yake Allah yana tare da mu, sai suka aiko mana da Sherebiya, wanda ya iya aiki, shi daga zuriyar Mali ɗan Lawi ne, ɗan Isra’ila. Sai ya zo tare da’ya’yansa da kuma’yan’uwansa. Dukansu dai mutum 18 ne.
According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
19 Suka kuma aika da Hashabiya tare da Yeshahiya daga zuriyar Merari, da’yan’uwansu da kuma’ya’yansu, su kuma mutum 20 ne.
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
20 Sun kuma kawo masu aiki a haikali mutum 220, ƙungiyar da Dawuda da abokan aikinsa suka keɓe don su taimaki Lawiyawa aiki. Duk aka rubuta waɗannan da sunayensu.
and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.
21 A can, a bakin rafin Ahawa, na sa mu yi azumi, domin mu ƙasƙantar da kanmu a gaban Allah, mu kuma roƙe shi yă kiyaye mana hanya, da mu da’ya’yanmu da kayanmu duka.
Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, for our little ones, and for all our possessions.
22 Na ji kunya in roƙi sarki yă haɗa mu da sojoji da masu dawakai don su yi mana rakiya su kāre mu daga magabta a kan hanya, gama mun ce wa sarki, “Alherin Allah yana tare da duk wanda yake dogara gare shi, amma kuma fushinsa yana kan duk wanda ya juya masa baya.”
For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”
23 Saboda haka sai muka yi azumi, muka kai roƙonmu a wurin Allah, ya kuwa amsa mana.
So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.
24 Sai na keɓe manyan firistoci guda goma sha biyu tare da Sherebiya, Hashabiya da kuma’yan’uwansu guda goma.
Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
25 Na auna musu zinariya da azurfa, da kwanoni waɗanda sarki da mashawartansa, da sauran abokan aikinsa, da Isra’ilawan da suke can suka bayar domin haikalin Allahnmu.
and weighed to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, his counsellors, his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.
26 Na auna musu talenti 650 na azurfa, talenti ɗari na kwanonin azurfa, talenti 100 na zinariya,
I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver vessels, one hundred talents of gold,
27 kwanonin zinariya guda 20 da darajarsu ya kai darik 1,000, da kwanoni biyu na gogaggen tagulla, wanda yake darajarsa daidai da zinariya.
twenty bowls of gold weighing one thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.
28 Na ce masa, “Ku da kayan nan tsarkaka ne ga Ubangiji. Azurfa da zinariya ɗin, bayarwa ce ta yardar rai ga Ubangiji, Allah na kakanninku.
I said to them, “You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a free will offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
29 Ku lura da su da kyau har sai kun isa Urushalima. Ku auna su a shirayin haikalin Ubangiji a Urushalima, a gaban manyan firistoci, da Lawiyawa, da shugabannin iyalai na Isra’ila.”
Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the LORD’s house.”
30 Sa’an nan sai firistoci, da Lawiyawa suka karɓi azurfa da zinariya da kuma tsarkakan kwanonin da aka auna don a kai haikalin Allahnmu a Urushalima.
So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 A rana ta goma sha biyu ga watan farko, muka tashi daga bakin rafin Ahawa don mu tafi Urushalima. Alherin Allahnmu yana tare da mu, ya kuma kāre mu daga magabta da’yan fashi.
Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandits by the way.
32 Muka iso Urushalima, inda muka huta kwana uku.
We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.
33 A rana ta huɗu muka tafi haikalin Allah, muka auna azurfa, da zinariya, da tsarkakan kwanonin, muka ba Meremot ɗan Uriya firist, da Eleyazar ɗan Finehas yana tare da shi, da kuma Lawiyawan nan, wato, Yozabad ɗan Yeshuwa, da Nowadiya ɗan Binnuyi.
On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.
34 Aka yi lissafi aka auna kome aka tarar yana nan daidai, aka kuma rubuta yawan nauyin a lokacin.
Everything was counted and weighed; and all the weight was written at that time.
35 Sa’an nan sai waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta suka miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Allah na Isra’ila. Wato, bijimai guda goma sha biyu don Isra’ilawa duka, raguna tasa’in da shida,’yan raguna saba’in da bakwai, bunsurai kuma guda goma sha biyu. Aka miƙa su hadaya don zunubi. Wannan duka hadaya ta ƙonawa ce ga Ubangiji.
The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
36 Suka kuma kai saƙon sarki zuwa ga wakilansa, da kuma gwamnoni na Kewayen Kogin Yuferites waɗanda suka taimaki mutane da kuma gidan Allah.
They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s local governors and to the governors beyond the River. So they supported the people and God’s house.
