Izraa 5
1 Yeroo kanatti Haageen raajichii fi Zakkaariyaas ilmi Iddoo raajichi, maqaa Waaqa Israaʼel kan isaan wajjin jiraatu sanaan Yihuudoota warra Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessa jiranitti raajii dubbatan.
Then were moved to prophesy, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, the prophets, unto the Jews who were in Judaea and in Jerusalem, —in the name of the God of Israel, unto them.
2 Kana irratti Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeelii fi Iyyaasuun ilmi Yoosaadaaq Yerusaalem keessatti mana Waaqaa deebisanii ijaaruu jalqaban. Raajonni Waaqaas isaan gargaaruuf isaanuma wajjin turan.
Then arose—Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, with them, were the prophets of God, strengthening them.
3 Yeroo sanatti Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi deeggartoonni isaanii gara isaanii dhaqanii, “Akka isin mana qulqullummaa kana deebiftanii ijaartanii fi akka isin dallaa dhagaa kanas akka duriitti deebiftan eenyutu isiniif eeyyame?” jedhanii gaafatan.
At that time, came unto them Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, —and, thus, spake they unto them, Who hath issued unto you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
4 Akkasumas, “Maqaan warra mana kana ijaaruu eenyu faʼi?” jedhanii gaafatan.
Then, after this manner, spake we unto them, —What are the names of these men, who, this building, do rear?
5 Garuu iji Waaqa isaanii maanguddoota Yihuudaa irra turte; isaanis hamma gabaasni sun Daariyoos bira gaʼee deebiin isaa barreeffamaan dhufutti hojii hin dhaabne.
Nevertheless, the eye of their God, was upon the elders of Judah, and they did not forbid them, until the matter, unto Darius, should come, —and, then, answer be returned by letter, concerning this.
6 Kunis garagalchaa xalayaa Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayi, deeggartoonni isaanii fi qondaaltonni Gama Laga Efraaxiis jiraatan Daariyoos Mootichatti erganii ti.
A copy of the letter which Tattenai pasha Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his associates, the Apharsachites, who were Beyond the Rivet, sent unto Darius the king:
7 Gabaasni isaan erganiif sunis akkana jedha: Gara Daariyoos Mootichaa: Nagaa ulfinaan guutame siif ergina.
a message, sent they unto him, —and, thus, was it written therein, Unto Darius the king, all prosperity!
8 Mootichi akka nu gara aanaa Yihuudaa gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqa guddichaa dhaqnee turre haa beeku. Namoonni dhagaa gurguddaadhaan mana sana ijaaraa, laaxaas keenyan manaa keessa kaaʼaa jiru. Hojiin kunis ciminaan hojjetamaa harka isaanii jalatti guddina argisiisaa jira.
Be it known unto the king, that we journeyed into the province of Judah, unto the house of the Great God, and, the same, is being built with large stones, and, timber, is being laid in the walls, —and, this work, with speed, is being done, and is prospering in their hands.
9 Nu maanguddoota sana dubbifnee, “Eenyutu akka isin mana qulqullummaa kana deebiftanii ijaartanii fi akka isin ijaarsa isaa akka duriitti deebiftan isiniif eeyyame?” jennee isaan gaafanne.
Then asked we of these elders, thus, we said to them, —Who hath issued to you an edict, this house, to build, and, this wall, to complete?
10 Akkasumas akka maqaa hooggantoota isaanii barreessinee si beeksifnuuf maqaa isaanii illee gaafannee ture.
Yea, their names also, asked we of them, to certify thee, —that we might write the name, of the men who are at their head.
11 Isaanis deebii kana nuu kennan: “Nu garboota Waaqa samii fi lafaa ti; nu mana qulqullummaa kan bara dheeraan dura ijaarame, kan mootiin Israaʼel guddichi ijaaree fixe sana deebifnee ijaaraa jirra.
And, thus, returned they, answer, to us saying, —We, are servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and are building the house which was built these many years ago, which, a great king of Israel, built and completed.
12 Garuu sababii abbootiin keenya Waaqa samii aarsaniif inni dabarsee harka Nebukadnezar namicha biyya Kaldootaa, mootii Baabilonitti isaan kenne; innis mana qulqullummaa kana barbadeessee uummatas biyyaa baasee Baabilonitti geesse.
But, after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, —and, this house, he destroyed, and, the people, he exiled to Babylon.
13 “Taʼu illee waggaa tokkoffaa bara mootummaa Qiiros mooticha Baabilon keessa Qiiros Mootichi akka manni Waaqaa kun deebifame ijaaramuuf labsii tokko labse.
Howbeit, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king, issued an edict, this house of God, to build.
14 Innis miʼa warqee fi meetii mana Waaqaa kan Nebukadnezar mana qulqullummaa Yerusaalem keessaa guuree Baabilonitti geesse sana masaraa mootummaa Baabilon keessaa ni baase. Qiiros Mootichi namicha Sheeshbasaar jedhamu kan inni bulchaa godhee muude sanatti miʼa kana kennee
Moreover also, the utensils of the house of God, of gold and silver, which, Nebuchadnezzar, had brought forth out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, and had brought into the temple of Babylon, Cyrus the king, brought them forth, out of the temple of Babylon, —and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he made, pasha;
15 akkana jedheen; ‘Miʼa kana fuudhii dhaqiitii mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanatti galchi. Mana Waaqaas iddoo isaatti deebisii ijaari.’
and said to him—These utensils, take, go carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, —and let, the house of God, be built in its place.
16 “Ergasiis Sheeshbasaar kun dhufee hundee mana Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa buuse. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee hamma ammaatti manni sun ijaaramaa jira; garuu amma illee hin dhumne.”
Then, this Sheshbazzar, came, he laid the foundations of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and, since then, even until now, it hath been in building, and is not finished.
17 Egaa amma yoo fedhii mootichaa taʼe, Qiiros Mootichi dhugumaan akka manni Waaqaa kun Yerusaalem keessatti deebifamee ijaaramuuf labsii baasuu fi baasuu baachuu isaa beekuuf galmeen masaraa mootummaa Baabilon haa qoratamu. Ergasiis mootichi yaada waan kana irratti qabu nuuf haa ergu.
Now, therefore, if, unto the king, it seem good, let search be made in the treasure-house of the king which is there, in Babylon, whether it be so, that, from Cyrus the king, issued an edict, to build this house of God, in Jerusalem, —and, the pleasure of the king concerning this, let him send unto us.
