1 A shekara ta farko ta mulkin sarkin Farisa, wato, sarki Sairus, domin a cika maganar Ubangiji da aka yi ta bakin Irmiya, sai Ubangiji ya taɓa zuciyar Sairus sarkin Farisa ya yi shela a duk fāɗin ƙasarsa, ya kuma rubuta cewa,
Ngomnyaka wakuqala wenkosi yasePhezhiya uKhurosi, ukuze kugcwaliseke ilizwi likaThixo elakhulunywa nguJeremiya, uThixo wathinta inhliziyo kaKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya ukuba yenze isimemezelo kuwo wonke umbuso wayo, ukuthi sibhalwe phansi kuthiwe:
2 “Ga abin da Sairus sarkin Farisa yake shela, “‘Ubangiji Allah na sama ya ba ni iko in yi mulkin duniya duka, ya kuma zaɓe ni in gina masa haikali a Urushalima cikin Yahuda.
“Nanku okutshiwo yinkosi uKhurosi wasePhezhiya: ‘UThixo, uNkulunkulu wasezulwini, ungiphile yonke imbuso yasemhlabeni njalo ungikhethile ukuthi ngimakhele ithempeli eJerusalema koJuda.
3 Duk wanda yake nasa a cikinku bari Allahnsa yă kasance tare da shi, bari yă tafi Urushalima cikin Yahuda yă gina haikalin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, Allah wanda yake a Urushalima.
Loba ngubani wabantu bakhe phakathi kwenu angahamba aye eJerusalema koJuda ayekwakha ithempeli likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu oseJerusalema njalo sengathi uNkulunkulu wabo angaba labo.
4 Duk inda akwai mutumin Yahuda da ya rage, sai mutanen da suke zama kusa da shi, su taimake shi da azurfa, da zinariya, da kaya, da kuma dabbobi, tare da kyautai na yardar rai saboda Gidan Allah wanda yake a Urushalima.’”
Akuthi abantu loba ngabakuyiphi indawo lapho okungabe kuseselensalela kabamuphe isiliva legolide, impahla lezifuyo, leminikelo yokuzithandela yethempeli likaNkulunkulu eJerusalema.’”
5 Sai shugabannin zuriyar Yahuda da na Benyamin, da firistoci da Lawiyawa, duk wanda Allah ya taɓa zuciyarsa, suka shirya don su je su gina haikalin Ubangiji a Urushalima.
Kwasekusithi abazinhloko zemizi yakoJuda lakoBhenjamini, kanye labaphristi labaLevi, labo bonke ababethintwe inhliziyo zabo nguNkulunkulu, bazilungisela ukuhamba ukuyakwakha indlu kaThixo eJerusalema.
6 Dukan maƙwabtansu kuwa suka taimake su da gudummawa na kayan azurfa da na zinariya, da kaya, da dabbobi, da kuma kyautai masu daraja bisa bayarwar yardar rai da suka yi.
Bonke omakhelwane babo babancedisa ukuzuza izinto zesiliva legolide, impahla lezifuyo, lezipho eziligugu phezu kwayo yonke iminikelo yokuzizwela.
7 Sai sarki Sairus ya fitar da kayan da suke na haikalin Ubangiji waɗanda Nebukadnezzar ya kwashe daga Urushalima ya sa a haikalin allahnsa.
Phezu kwalokho iNkosi uKhurosi yakhupha zonke izitsha ezazingezethempeli likaThixo ezazithunjwe nguNebhukhadineza eJerusalema zabekwa ethempelini likankulunkulu wakhe.
8 Sairus sarkin Farisa ya sa Mitredat ma’aji ya ƙirga su a gaban Sheshbazzar ɗan sarkin Yahuda.
UKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya wathi kazilethwe nguMithiredathi umgcinisikhwama onguye owazibalayo ezibalela uSheshibhazari inkosana yakoJuda.
9 Ga lissafin kayan. Manyan kwanonin zinariya guda 30 Manyan kwanonin azurfa guda 1,000 Wuƙaƙe guda 29
Nanzi-ke lezompahla: imiganu yegolide yayingamatshumi amathathu, imiganu yesiliva yayiyinkulungwane, amapane esiliva ayengamatshumi amabili lasificamunwemunye,
10 Waɗansu kwanonin zinariya guda 30 Waɗansu kwanonin azurfa guda 410 da waɗansu kayayyaki guda 1,000
imiganu yegolide ezingubhe yayingamatshumi amathathu, eyesiliva efana layo yayingamakhulu amane letshumi, ezinye impahla zaziyinkulungwane.
11 Dukan kayayyakin zinariya da na azurfa sun kai 5,400. Sheshbazzar ya kawo kayayyakin nan duka tare da shi lokacin da kamammun suka hauro daga Babilon zuwa Urushalima.
Sekukonke, kwakuyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu lamakhulu amane ezinto zegolide lesiliva. USheshibhazari weza lazozonke lezizinto lapho izithunjwa zafika eJerusalema zivela eBhabhiloni.
