Izraa 6

1 Kana irratti Daariyoos Mootichi ajaja kenne; isaanis galmeewwan mana galmee Baabilon keessatti kuufaman sana ni sakattaʼan.

Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.

2 Kitaabni maramaan tokkos Ahimetaa magaalaa guddaa kutaa biyyaa Meedee keessatti argame; kitaaba sana irrattis akkana jedhamee barreeffamee ture: Yaadachiisa:

And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and in it was thus written for a record:

3 Waggaa tokkoffaa bara mootummaa Qiiros Mootichaa keessa mootichi waaʼee mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanaa akkana jedhee labsii baase: Manni qulqullummaa kun iddoo aarsaan itti dhiʼeeffamu taʼee deebifamee haa ijaaramu; hundeen isaas haa buufamu. Manni kunis ol dheerina dhundhuma jaatamaa fi balʼina dhundhuma jaatama qabaatee

In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be built-the place where they offer sacrifices-and let the foundations of it be strongly laid, the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits,

4 dhagaa gurguddaa toora sadii sadii fi muka toora tokko tokkoon haa ijaaramu. Baasiin hundinuus qabeenya mootummaa keessaa baafamuu qaba.

with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber. And let the expenses be given out of the king's house.

5 Akkasumas miʼi warqee fi meetii mana Waaqaa kan Nebukadnezar mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessaatii Baabilonitti fide sun iddoo isaanitti jechuunis mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalemitti deebifamanii mana Waaqaa keessa kuufamu qabu.

And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place. And thou shall put them in the house of God.

6 Egaa ati Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi isin michoota isaanii qondaaltonni kutaa biyya sanaa achii fagaadhaa.

Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, be ye far from there:

7 Isin hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kana keessa hin seeninaa. Bulchaan Yihuudootaa fi maanguddoonni Yihuudootaa mana Waaqaa kana iddoo isaatti deebisanii haa ijaaran.

Let the work of this house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.

8 Kana irratti ani waan isin ijaarsa mana Waaqaa kana keessatti maanguddoota Yihuudootaa kanneeniif gochuu qabdan kunoo nan labsa: Akka hojiin hin dhaabanneef baasiin namoota kanaa guutumaan guutuutti qabeenya mootummaa irraa jechuunis gibira Gama Laga Efraaxiisii walitti qabamu keessaa haa baafamu.

Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: That of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.

9 Wanni barbaachisu kam iyyuu jechuunis jiboonni, korbeeyyiinii fi xobbaallaawwan hoolaa Waaqa samiitiif aarsaa gubamu taʼanii dhiʼeeffaman, akkasumas qamadiin, soogiddi, daadhiin wayinii fi zayitiin akkuma luboonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan barbaadanitti utuu gargar hin citin guyyaa guyyaadhaan isaaniif kennamuu qabu;

And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail

10 kunis akka isaan aarsaa Waaqa samiitti tolu dhiʼeessanii fi akka isaan jireenya mootichaa fi ilmaan isaatiif Waaqa kadhataniifii dha.

that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savor to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

11 Kana caalaa iyyuu yoo namni kam iyyuu ajaja kana dide, ani akka utubaan mana isaa keessaa buqqifamee inni irratti fannifamu labsii kana labseera. Sababii yakka kanaatiif manni isaa tuulaa kosii ni taʼa.

Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

12 Waaqni inni akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatu godhe sun mootii yookaan saba labsii kana geeddaruuf yookaan mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa barbadeessuuf harka ol fudhatu kam iyyuu haa balleessu. Ani Daariyoos labsii kana labseera. Wanni kunis ariitiidhaan hojii irra haa oolu.

And the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree, let it be done with all diligence.

13 Ergasii Taatenaayi bulchaan biyya Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi michoonni isaanii akkuma Daariyoos Mootichi labsetti labsii sana ariitiidhaan hojii irra ni oolchan.

Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because of what Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence.

14 Kanaafuu maanguddoonni Yihuudootaa lallaba Haagee raajichaatii fi Zakkaariyaas ilma Iddootiin ijaarsa itti fufan; hojiinis ni milkaaʼeef. Isaanis akkuma ajaja Waaqa Israaʼelii fi akkuma labsiiwwan Qiiros, Daariyoosii fi Arxeksis mootota Faaresitti ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa sana ni xumuran.

And the elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

15 Manni qulqullummaa sunis waggaa jaʼaffaa bara Daariyoos Mootichaa keessa, bultii sadaffaa jiʼa Adaaritti ijaaramee dhume.

And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

16 Ergasii sabni Israaʼel jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonnii fi boojiʼamtoonni hafan ayyaana eebba mana Waaqaa gammachuudhaan ayyaaneffatan.

And the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.

17 Eebba mana Waaqaa kanaafis jiboota dhibba tokko, korbeeyyii hoolaa dhibba lamaa fi xobbaallaa hoolaa dhibba afur kennan; sababii cubbuu Israaʼel hundaaf immoo korbeeyyii reʼee kudha lama jechuunis tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼeliif reʼee tokko tokko dhiʼeessan.

And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs. And for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

18 Ergasii immoo akkuma Kitaaba Musee keessatti barreeffametti tajaajila mana Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa sanaaf luboota kutaa kutaa isaanitti, Lewwota immoo garee garee isaaniitti ramadan.

And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.

19 Boojiʼamtoonnis guyyaa kudha afuraffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti Faasiikaa ni ayyaaneffatan.

And the sons of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.

20 Luboonnii fi Lewwonni of qulqulleessanii hundi isaanii akka seeraatti ni qulqullaaʼan. Lewwonni warra boojiʼaman hundaaf, obboloota isaanii lubootaa fi ofii isaaniif hoolaa Faasiikaa qalan.

For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. And they killed the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.

21 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni boojuudhaa deebiʼan namoota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel barbaaduudhaaf hojii xuraaʼummaa kan Namoota Ormaa kanneen ollaa isaanii jiraatan sanaa lagatan hunda wajjin Faasiikaa sana ni nyaatan.

And the sons of Israel who came again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, ate,

22 Sababii Waaqayyo akka inni hojii ijaarsa mana Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel keessatti isaan gargaaruudhaaf yaada mootii Asoor geeddaruudhaan gammachuudhaan isaan guuteef isaan bultii torba guutuu Ayyaana Maxinoo Buddeena gammachuudhaan ayyaaneffatan.

and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy. For Jehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
