U-Ezra 3
1 Isifikile inyanga yesikhombisa, labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebesemizini, abantu babuthana njengamuntu munye eJerusalema.
Da tsayawar watan bakwai, sai Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka koma garuruwansu suka taru da nufi ɗaya a Urushalima.
2 Kwasekusukuma uJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki labafowabo abapristi, loZerubhabheli indodana kaSalatiyeli labafowabo, bakha ilathi likaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ukuze banikele iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni kaMozisi umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
Sai Yeshuwa ɗan Yozadak da sauran firistoci, da Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel da abokan aikinsa, suka fara gina bagaden Allah na Isra’ila don miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce a Dokar Musa mutumin Allah.
3 Basebemisa ilathi ezisekelweni zalo, ngoba ukwesaba kwakuphezu kwabo ngenxa yabantu belizwe, basebenikela eNkosini iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, iminikelo yokutshiswa ekuseni lantambama.
Duk da tsoron da suke ji na mutanen da suke kewaye da su, sun gina bagaden a wurinsa, suka kuma miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa a kan bagaden ga Ubangiji safe da yamma.
4 Basebesenza umkhosi wamadumba njengokubhaliweyo, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa insuku ngensuku ngenani, njengomkhuba, udaba losuku ngosuku lwalo.
Bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce kuma, suka yi biki Bikin Tabanakul, suka miƙa hadayu kowace rana gwargwadon yawan hadayun da ake bukata.
5 Langemva kwalokho umnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo, lowekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, lowemikhosi yonke emisiweyo yeNkosi eyayingcwelisiwe, lowakhe wonke owanikela ngesihle umnikelo wesihle eNkosini.
Bayan wannan, suka miƙa hadayu na ƙonawa yadda aka saba. Suka miƙa hadayu na Sabon Wata, da hadayu na bukukkuwan Ubangiji, da kuma hadayun da aka bayar da yardar rai ga Ubangiji.
6 Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesikhombisa baqalisa ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini, kodwa isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi sasingakabekwa.
A ranar farko ta watan bakwai, sai suka fara miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Ubangiji, ko da yake ba a riga an aza harsashin ginin haikalin Ubangiji ba.
7 Basebenika imali kubabazi bamatshe lakubabazi bezigodo, lokudla lokunathwayo lamafutha kumaSidoni lakumaTire ukuze balethe izigodo zemisedari zivela eLebhanoni bezisa elwandle eJopha, ngokwemvumo kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya kubo.
Sai suka ba wa magina da kafintoci kuɗi, suka ba wa mutanen Sidon da na Taya abinci, da abin sha, da mai, don su kawo itatuwan al’ul a Yaffa daga Lebanon ta teku, yadda Sairus sarkin Farisa ya ba da umarni.
8 Langomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endlini kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, ngenyanga yesibili, baqalisa oZerubhabheli indodana kaSalatiyeli loJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki, lensali yabafowabo, abapristi lamaLevi, labo bonke ababebuyile eJerusalema bevela ekuthunjweni; basebemisa amaLevi kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu ukongamela umsebenzi wendlu yeNkosi.
A wata na biyu na shekara ta biyu, bayan sun komo gidan Allah a Urushalima, sai Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel, Yoshuwa ɗan Yozadak da sauran’yan’uwansa (Firistoci da Lawiyawa da duk waɗanda suka komo Urushalima daga bauta) suka fara aiki, aka zaɓi Lawiyawa daga masu shekaru ashirin da haihuwa zuwa waɗanda suka wuce haka don su dubi aikin ginin gidan Ubangiji.
9 Kwasekusukuma oJeshuwa, amadodana akhe, labafowabo, uKadimiyeli lamadodana akhe, abantwana bakoJuda, njengomuntu munye ukongamela abenzi bomsebenzi endlini kaNkulunkulu, amadodana kaHenadadi, amadodana abo labafowabo amaLevi.
Yeshuwa da’ya’yansa maza, da’yan’uwansa, da Kadmiyel da’ya’yan Yahuda (’yan zuriyar Hodawiya), da’ya’yan Henadad, da’ya’yansu da’yan’uwansu, dukansu Lawiyawa ne, suka haɗa kai cikin duban masu aikin gidan Allah.
10 Abakhi sebebekile isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi, bamisa abapristi begqokile belezimpondo, lamaLevi, amadodana kaAsafi, elensimbi ezincencethayo, ukudumisa iNkosi, njengokwezandla zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
Da masu ginin suka aza harsashin ginin haikalin Ubangiji, sai firistoci suka sa kayansu na firistoci suka riƙe ƙahonin busa, Lawiyawa (’ya’yan Asaf) kuwa suka riƙe kuge, suka yi shiri domin su rera yabo ga Ubangiji kamar yadda Dawuda Sarkin Isra’ila ya ba da umarni.
11 Baphendulana ngokuhlabela bedumisa bebonga iNkosi, ngoba ilungile, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube nininini kuIsrayeli. Bonke abantu basebememeza ngokumemeza okukhulu ekuyidumiseni iNkosi, ngoba isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi sasesibekiwe.
Suka rera waƙar yabo da godiya ga Ubangiji, suna cewa, “Shi nagari ne; ƙaunarsa kuwa ga Isra’ila har abada ce.” Dukan jama’a kuwa suka yabi Ubangiji da murya mai ƙarfi, domin an aza harsashin ginin gidan Ubangiji.
12 Kodwa abanengi babapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise, abadala ababeyibonile indlu yokuqala, isisekelo salindlu sesibekiwe emehlweni abo, bakhala inyembezi ngelizwi elikhulu; kodwa abanengi baphakamisa ilizwi ngokumemeza ngentokozo.
Amma tsofaffin firistoci, da Lawiyawa, da shugabannin iyalai da yawa, waɗanda dā suka ga yadda haikali na farko yake, suka fashe da kuka mai ƙarfi sa’ad da suka ga an aza harsashin ginin wannan haikali, yayinda waɗansu kuma suka yi ihu da farin ciki.
13 Ngokunjalo abantu kabehlukanisanga umsindo wokumemeza kwentokozo lomsindo wokukhala kwabantu, ngoba abantu baklabalala ngokuklabalala okukhulu, umsindo waze wezwakala khatshana.
Ba wanda zai iya rabe tsakanin ihun farin ciki da na kuka, domin mutanen sun tā da murya sosai har aka ji su daga nesa.
