1 Kana irratti Daariyoos Mootichi ajaja kenne; isaanis galmeewwan mana galmee Baabilon keessatti kuufaman sana ni sakattaʼan.
Then king Darius instructed, and they searched in the library of books that were deposited 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 Ecbatana, which is a fortified place in the province of Media, one volume, and this record was written in it:
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 king Cyrus, Cyrus the king decreed that the house of God, which is in Jerusalem, shall be built in the place where they immolate victims, and that they should set the foundations so as to support a height of sixty cubits and a width of sixty cubits,
4 dhagaa gurguddaa toora sadii sadii fi muka toora tokko tokkoon haa ijaaramu. Baasiin hundinuus qabeenya mootummaa keessaa baafamuu qaba.
with three rows of rough stones, and so as to have rows of new timber, and that the expenses shall be given from the house of the king.
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.
But also, let the gold and silver vessels of the temple of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple of Jerusalem, and which he carried away to Babylon, be restored and be carried back to the temple of Jerusalem, to their place, just as they had been placed in the temple of God.
6 Egaa ati Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi isin michoota isaanii qondaaltonni kutaa biyya sanaa achii fagaadhaa.
Now therefore, let Tattenai, the governor of the region which is beyond the river, Shetharbozenai, and your counselors, the rulers who are beyond the river, withdraw far away from them,
7 Isin hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kana keessa hin seeninaa. Bulchaan Yihuudootaa fi maanguddoonni Yihuudootaa mana Waaqaa kana iddoo isaatti deebisanii haa ijaaran.
and let this temple of God be released to the governor of the Jews and to their elders, so that they may build that 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, it has been instructed by me as to what ought to be done by those priests of the Jews, so that the house of God may be built, specifically, that from the king’s treasury, that is, from the tribute which is taken from the region beyond the river, the expenses shall be scrupulously given to those men, so that the work may not be impeded.
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;
But if it may be necessary, let also calves, and lambs, and young goats for holocausts to the God of heaven, with grain, salt, wine, and oil, according to the rite of the priests who are in Jerusalem, be given to them for each day, so that there may be no complaint in anything.
10 kunis akka isaan aarsaa Waaqa samiitti tolu dhiʼeessanii fi akka isaan jireenya mootichaa fi ilmaan isaatiif Waaqa kadhataniifii dha.
And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and let them pray for the life of the king and for the lives 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.
Therefore, the decree has been set forth by me, so that, if there be any man who will change this order, a beam shall be taken from his own house, and it shall be set up, and he shall be nailed to it. Then his house shall be confiscated.
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.
So then, may the God who has caused his name to live there destroy any kingdoms or people who would extend their hand to fight against or to destroy that house of God, which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have established the decree, which I wish to be fulfilled scrupulously.”
13 Ergasii Taatenaayi bulchaan biyya Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi michoonni isaanii akkuma Daariyoos Mootichi labsetti labsii sana ariitiidhaan hojii irra ni oolchan.
Therefore, Tattenai, the governor of the region beyond the river, and Shetharbozenai, and his counselors, in accord with what king Darius had instructed, diligently executed the same.
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.
Then the elders of the Jews were building and prospering, in accord with the prophecy of Haggai, the prophet, and Zechariah, the son of Iddo. And they built and constructed by the order of the God of Israel, and by the order of Cyrus and Darius, as well as Artaxerxes, the kings of the Persians.
15 Manni qulqullummaa sunis waggaa jaʼaffaa bara Daariyoos Mootichaa keessa, bultii sadaffaa jiʼa Adaaritti ijaaramee dhume.
And they completed this house of God on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
16 Ergasii sabni Israaʼel jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonnii fi boojiʼamtoonni hafan ayyaana eebba mana Waaqaa gammachuudhaan ayyaaneffatan.
Then the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the remainder of the sons of the transmigration celebrated the dedication of the house of God with gladness.
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, for the dedication of the house of God, one hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and, as a sin offering for all of Israel, twelve he-goats from among the 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 appointed the priests into their divisions, and the Levites into their turns, over the works of God in Jerusalem, just as it was written in the book of Moses.
19 Boojiʼamtoonnis guyyaa kudha afuraffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti Faasiikaa ni ayyaaneffatan.
Then the sons of Israel of the transmigration kept the Passover, on 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 Levites had been purified as one. All were cleansed in order to immolate the Passover for all the sons of the transmigration, 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 had been returned from the transmigration, and all those who had separated themselves from the defilement of the Gentiles of the earth to them, so that they might seek the Lord, 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 solemnity of unleavened bread for seven days with joy. For the Lord had made them joyful, and he had converted the heart of the king of Assur to them, so that he would assist their hands in the work of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel.
