U-Ezra 1
1 Kwathi ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya, ekugcwalisekeni kwelizwi leNkosi ngomlomo kaJeremiya, iNkosi yavusa umoya kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya ukuthi edlulise isimemezelo embusweni wakhe wonke, njalo langombhalo, esithi:
Waaqayyo akka dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan afaan Ermiyaasiin dubbatame sun raawwatamuuf jedhee bara Qiiros mooticha Faares keessa waggaa jalqabaatti akka inni mootummaa isaa hunda keessa labsii tokko dabarsuu fi akka labsiin sunis barreeffamuuf hafuura Qiiros mooticha Faares ni kakaase; labsiin sunis akkana jedha:
2 Utsho njalo uKoresi inkosi yePerisiya: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamazulu, inginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba; layo ingilayile ukuyakhela indlu eJerusalema ekoJuda.
“Qiiros mootichi Faares akkana jedha: “‘Waaqayyo Waaqni samii mootummoota lafa irraa hunda naaf kenneera; akka ani Yihuudaa keessatti Yerusaalemitti mana qulqullummaa isaaf ijaaruufis na muudeera.
3 Ngubani ophakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bayo? UNkulunkulu wakhe kabe laye, enyukele eJerusalema ekoJuda, akhe indlu yeNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli (unguNkulunkulu) oseJerusalema.
Saba isaa keessaa nama gidduu keessanitti argamu kam iyyuu Waaqni isaa isa wajjin haa taʼu; innis gara Yerusaalem ishee Yihuudaa keessaa sanaa ol baʼee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqa Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu sanaa haa ijaaru.
4 Laloba ngubani oseleyo lakuyiphi yezindawo lapho ahlala njengowezizwe khona, kakuthi abantu bendawo yakibo bamsekele ngesiliva, langegolide, langempahla, langezifuyo, kanye lomnikelo wesihle wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema.
Warra hafanii iddoo kam iyyuu jiraatan hundaaf sabni biyya isaan keessa jiraatan sanaa kennaa fedhiidhaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanaaf kennuu irratti dabalee meetii fi warqee, miʼaa fi horii gumaachuudhaan isa haa gargaaran.’”
5 Kwasekusukuma inhloko zaboyise bakoJuda loBhenjamini, labapristi lamaLevi, laye wonke uNkulunkulu ayevuse umoya wakhe, ukuthi benyukele ukwakha indlu yeNkosi eseJerusalema.
Ergasii hangafoonni maatii Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam, luboonnii fi Lewwonni jechuunis namoonni Waaqni garaa isaanii kakaase hundi dhaqanii mana Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessaa sana ijaaruuf qophaaʼan.
6 Labo bonke ababebaphahlile baqinisa izandla zabo ngezitsha zesiliva, ngegolide, ngempahla, langezifuyo, langezinto eziligugu, ngaphandle kwakho konke okwakunikelwe ngesihle.
Olloonni isaanii hundinuus kennaa fedhiidhaan kennan irratti dabalanii miʼa meetii fi warqee, qodaa fi horii akkasumas kennaawwan gatii guddaa baasan gumaachuudhaan isaan gargaaran.
7 UKoresi inkosi laye wakhupha izitsha zendlu yeNkosi, uNebhukadinezari ayezikhuphe eJerusalema wazifaka endlini yabonkulunkulu bakhe.
Kana malees Qiiros Mootichi miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar Yerusaalemii guurratee mana Waaqa isaa keessa kaaʼatee ture sana gad ni baase.
8 UKoresi inkosi yePerisiya wasezikhupha ngesandla sikaMithiredathi umphathisikhwama owazibalela uSheshibazari isiphathamandla sakoJuda.
Qiiros mootichi Faares akka Mitredaat itti gaafatamaan qabeenyaa sun miʼa sana fidee Sheeshbazaar bulchaa Yihuudaatiif lakkaaʼu godhe.
9 Leli-ke linani lazo: Imiganu yegolide engamatshumi amathathu, imiganu yesiliva eyinkulungwane, izingqamu ezingamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye,
Miʼoonni sunis: saanii warqee 30, saanii meetii 1,000, distii meetii 29,
10 inkezo zegolide ezingamatshumi amathathu, ezinye inkezo zesiliva ezingamakhulu amane letshumi, ezinye izitsha eziyinkulungwane.
waciitii warqee 30, waciitii meetii kan qadaada qabu 410, miʼa gosa biraa 1,000.
11 Zonke izitsha zegolide lezesiliva zazizinkulungwane ezinhlanu lamakhulu amane. Zonke lezi uSheshibazari wazenyusa lalabo ababenyuswe ekuthunjweni bevela eBhabhiloni besiya eJerusalema.
Walumaa galatti miʼa warqeetii fi kan meetii 54,000 ture. Sheeshbazaaris miʼoota kanneen hunda yeroo boojiʼamtoota Baabilonii baasee Yerusaalemitti geessetti guuree deeme.
