Sai aka sami takarda a Ekbatana a yankin Mediya, ga kuma abin da yake rubuce a ciki. Abin tunawa.
3 Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi, uKoresi inkosi wamisa umthetho: Indlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema, kayakhiwe lindlu endaweni lapho abanikela khona iminikelo, lezisekelo zayo zizabekwa ngokuqinileyo; ukuphakama kwayo kube zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, ububanzi bayo bube zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha;
A shekara ta farko ta mulkin sarki Sairus, sarki ya ba da umarni game da haikalin Allah a Urushalima, ya ce, Bari a sāke gina haikalin yă zama wurin miƙa hadayu, a kuma aza harsashin ginin haikalin. Tsayinsa zai zama ƙafa tasa’in, fāɗinsa kuma kamu tasa’in.
4 ibe lemizila emithathu yamatshe amakhulu lomzila wezigodo ezintsha. Izindleko zizaphiwa-ke zivela endlini yenkosi.
Za a jera manyan duwatsu jeri uku, da jeri ɗaya na katako. Daga asusun sarki kuma za a biya kuɗin aikin.
5 Futhi lezitsha zegolide lezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu uNebhukadinezari azikhupha ethempelini eliseJerusalema waziletha eBhabhiloni, kazibuyiselwe zisiwe ethempelini eliseJerusalema, endaweni yayo, uzibeke endlini kaNkulunkulu.

6 Khathesi, Tathenayi, mbusi waphetsheya komfula, Shethari-Bozenayi, labangane benu amaAfarisathiki, abaphetsheya komfula, banini khatshana lalapho.

7 Uyekeleni umsebenzi walindlu kaNkulunkulu; umbusi wamaJuda labadala bamaJuda kabakhe lindlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.
Kada ku hana wannan aiki na haikalin Allah. Bari gwamnan Yahudawa, da dattawan Yahudawa su sāke gina wannan gidan Allah a wurin da yake a dā.
8 Futhi umthetho umiswa yimi ngelizakwenzela abadala balamaJuda ekwakhiweni kwalindlu kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi empahleni zenkosi ezivela emthelweni wangaphetsheya komfula, izindleko ziphiwe lamadoda masinyane ukuze angami.

9 Lokuswelakalayo, kokubili amajongosi lezinqama lamawundlu komnikelo wokutshiselwa uNkulunkulu wamazulu, ingqoloyi, itshwayi, iwayini, lamafutha, njengokutsho kwabapristi abaseJerusalema, kabakunikwe insuku ngensuku kungaphuthi,
A tanada musu duk abin da suke bukata. A ba su’yan bijimai, da raguna, da’yan tumaki domin miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Allah na sama, haka kuma dole a tanada wa firistoci alkama, da gishiri, da ruwan inabi, da mai, kullum ba fasawa yadda firistoci suke yi a Urushalima
10 ukuze banikele iminikelo yephunga elimnandi kuNkulunkulu wamazulu, bakhulekele impilo yenkosi leyamadodana ayo.

11 Futhi umthetho umiswe yimi wokuthi loba ngubani oguqula lelilizwi, kakuhwatshwe ugodo endlini yakhe, aphakanyiswe abethelwe phezu kwalo; lendlu yakhe yenziwe inqumbi yomquba ngenxa yalokhu.
Na kuma yi umarni cewa duk wanda ya karya wannan doka sai a fitar da itace daga cikin gidansa, a fiƙe kan itacen, a tsire mutumin, sa’an nan a mai da gidansa juji.
12 LoNkulunkulu owenze ibizo lakhe lihlale lapho kachithe loba yiyiphi inkosi loba abantu abazakwelula isandla sabo ukuguqula lokuchitha lindlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema. Mina Dariyusi ngimise umthetho, kakwenziwe masinyane.
Bari Allah yă sa sunansa yă kasance, yă hamɓarar da duka wani sarki ko mutanen da za su sa hannu don a sāke wannan doka, ko kuma don su rushe haikalin nan a Urushalima. Ni Dariyus na ba da wannan umarni, bari a yi biyayya babu wasa.
13 Khonokho uTathenayi umbusi nganeno komfula, uShethari-Bozenayi, labangane babo benza njalo masinyane njengalokho uDariyusi inkosi ayekuthumele.
Saboda umarnin da sarki Dariyus ya aika, sai Tattenai, gwamnan Kewayen Kogin Yuferites da Shetar-Bozenai da abokansu suka yi biyayya da umarnin babu wasa.
14 Abadala bamaJuda basebesakha njalo baphumelela ngesiprofetho sikaHagayi umprofethi loZekhariya indodana kaIdo. Bakha baqeda njengokomlayo kaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli langokomlayo kaKoresi, loDariyusi, loAthakisekisi inkosi yePerisiya.
Dattawan Yahuda kuwa suka ci gaba da ginin suna yin nasara ta wurin wa’azin Haggai annabi da Zakariya ɗan Iddo. Suka kuma gama ginin haikalin bisa ga umarnin Allah na Isra’ila da kuma umarnin Sairus da Artazerzes, sarakunan Farisa.
15 Lindlu yasiphela ngosuku lwesithathu enyangeni kaAdari, okwakungumnyaka wesithupha wokubusa kukaDariyusi inkosi.
An gama ginin haikalin a rana ta uku na watan Adar a shekara ta shida ta mulkin Sarki Dariyus.
16 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli, abapristi lamaLevi labanye abantwana bokuthunjwa, basebesenza ukwehlukaniselwa kwalindlu kaNkulunkulu ngentokozo.
Sai mutanen Isra’ila, firistoci, Lawiyawa da kuma sauran waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta suka yi bikin keɓe gidan Allah, cike da farin ciki.
17 Banikelela ukwehlukaniselwa kwalindlu kaNkulunkulu inkunzi ezilikhulu, inqama ezingamakhulu amabili, amawundlu angamakhulu amane; lezimpongo zezimbuzi ezilitshumi lambili zingumnikelo wesono kaIsrayeli wonke, ngokwenani lezizwe zakoIsrayeli.
Suka miƙa bijimai guda ɗari, da raguna ɗari biyu, da’yan raguna ɗari huɗu. Suka kuma miƙa hadayu don zunubi saboda dukan Isra’ila, suka kuma miƙa bunsurai guda goma sha biyu don hadaya ta zunubi, kowane bunsuru ɗaya don kowace kabila ta Isra’ila.
18 Basebemisa abapristi ngezigaba zabo, lamaLevi ngamaqembu awo, enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema, njengokubhaliweyo egwalweni lukaMozisi.
Suka kuma naɗa firistoci a gundumominsu da kuma Lawiyawa a ƙungiyoyinsu don hidimar Allah a Urushalima, bisa ga abin da aka rubuta a Littafin Musa.
19 Abantwana bokuthunjwa benza lephasika ngolwetshumi lane lwenyanga yokuqala.
A rana ta goma sha huɗu ga watan farko, sai waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta suka yi Bikin Ƙetarewa.
20 Ngoba abapristi lamaLevi babezihlambulule ndawonye, bonke babehlambulukile. Bahlabela bonke abantwana bokuthunjwa iphasika, labafowabo abapristi, labo ngokwabo.
Firistoci da Lawiyawa suka tsarkake kansu, suka zama da tsabta. Lawiyawa suka yanka ragon Bikin Ƙetarewa domin dukan waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta, da kuma domin’yan’uwansu firistoci, da kuma domin kansu.
21 Ngokunjalo badla abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababebuyile ekuthunjweni, labo bonke ababezehlukanisele kubo lokungcolileyo kwezizwe zelizwe, ukudinga iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
