Izraa 3
1 Yeroo jiʼi torbaffaan dhufee Israaʼeloonni magaalaawwan isaanii keessa qubatanitti uummanni akkuma nama tokkootti Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabame.
By the seventh month, the Israelites had settled in their towns, and the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem.
2 Ergasiis Yeeshuuʼaan ilmi Yoozaadaaq firoota isaa luboota wajjin, Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeel firoota isaa wajjin akkuma Seera Musee nama Waaqaa sanaa keessatti barreeffametti aarsaa gubamu achi irratti dhiʼeessuudhaaf iddoo aarsaa Waaqa Israaʼel ijaaran.
Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow priests, along with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates, began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.
3 Isaanis sababii namoota naannoo isaanii sodaataniif iddoo aarsaa sana hundee isaa irratti ijaaranii achi irratti aarsaa gubamu Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan; aarsaa kanas ganamaa fi galgala dhiʼeessan.
They set up the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD—both the morning and evening burnt offerings—even though they feared the people of the land.
4 Ergasii akkuma barreeffametti Ayyaana Daasii ni ayyaaneffatan; akkuma baayʼina aarsaa guyyaa guyyaaf ramadameettis aarsaa gubamu ni dhiʼeessan.
They also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles in accordance with what is written, and they offered burnt offerings daily based on the number prescribed for each day.
5 Kana booddees isaan aarsaa gubamu kan yeroo yerootti dhiʼeeffamu, aarsaa Baatii Haaraa fi aarsaawwan ayyaanota Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffaman hundaaf, akkasumas kanneen fedhiidhaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffaman ni kennan.
After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as all the freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
6 Guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa torbaffaattis aarsaa gubamu Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessuu jalqaban; garuu hundeen mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo amma illee hin buufamne ture.
On the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.
7 Ergasii isaan warra dhagaa cabsanii fi ogeeyyii hojii mukaatiif maallaqa kennan; warra Siidoonaa fi Xiiroosiif immoo akka isaan akkuma Qiiros mootichi Faares ajaje sanatti Libaanoonii gara Yoopheetti galaana irra birbirsa gad erganiif nyaata, dhugaatii fi zayitii kennan.
They gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food and drink and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as authorized by Cyrus king of Persia.
8 Isaanis erga mana Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa sana gaʼanii booddee jiʼa lammaffaa waggaa lammaffaatti Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeel, Yeeshuuʼaan ilmi Yoozaadaaqii fi obboloonni isaanii kaan jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonnii fi warri boojuudhaa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan hundinuu akka isaan ijaarsa mana Waaqayyoo toʼataniif Lewwota umuriin isaanii Waggaa digdamaa fi hammasii olii muudanii hojii sana jalqaban.
In the second month of the second year after they had arrived at the house of God in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their associates including the priests, the Levites, and all who had returned to Jerusalem from the captivity, began the work. They appointed Levites twenty years of age or older to supervise the construction of the house of the LORD.
9 Yeeshuuʼaan ilmaan isaa fi obboloota isaa wajjin, Qadmiiʼeelii fi ilmaan isaa, ilmaan Yihuudaa, ilmaan Heenaadaadii fi Lewwota, ilmaan isaanii fi firoota isaanii wajjin warra mana Waaqaa ijaaran toʼachuuf tokko taʼan.
So Jeshua and his sons and brothers, Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Yehudah), and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together to supervise those working on the house of God.
10 Yommuu ijaartonni sun hundee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo buusanitti luboonni uffata isaanii uffatanii malakata qabatan; Lewwonni immoo jechuunis ilmaan Asaaf kilillee qabatanii akkuma Daawit Mootichi Israaʼel ajajetti Waaqayyoon jajachuuf iddoo ofii isaanii qabatan.
When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their positions to praise the LORD, as David king of Israel had prescribed.
11 Isaanis, “Inni gaarii dha; jaalalli inni Israaʼeliif qabu bara baraan jiraata” jedhanii leellisuu fi galateeffachuudhaan Waaqayyoon faarfatan. Sabni hundinuu sababii hundeen mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo buufameef iyyee sagalee guddaadhaan Waaqayyoon galateeffate.
And they sang responsively with praise and thanksgiving to the LORD: “For He is good; for His loving devotion to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
12 Garuu luboonni, Lewwonnii fi hangafoonni maatii warri durii kanneen mana qulqullummaa isa duraa sana argan hedduun yeroo hundeen mana qulqullummaa kanaa buufamu arganitti sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼan; warri kaan hedduun immoo gammachuudhaan iyyan.
But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads who had seen the first temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple. Still, many others shouted joyfully.
13 Sababii namoonni akka malee wacaniif namni tokko iyyuu iyya gammachuu fi iyya booʼichaa gargar baasuu hin dandeenye; sagaleen sunis fagootti dhagaʼama ture.
The people could not distinguish the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people were making so much noise. And the sound was heard from afar.
