Izraa 1
1 Waaqayyo akka dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan afaan Ermiyaasiin dubbatame sun raawwatamuuf jedhee bara Qiiros mooticha Faares keessa waggaa jalqabaatti akka inni mootummaa isaa hunda keessa labsii tokko dabarsuu fi akka labsiin sunis barreeffamuuf hafuura Qiiros mooticha Faares ni kakaase; labsiin sunis akkana jedha:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 “Qiiros mootichi Faares akkana jedha: “‘Waaqayyo Waaqni samii mootummoota lafa irraa hunda naaf kenneera; akka ani Yihuudaa keessatti Yerusaalemitti mana qulqullummaa isaaf ijaaruufis na muudeera.
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Saba isaa keessaa nama gidduu keessanitti argamu kam iyyuu Waaqni isaa isa wajjin haa taʼu; innis gara Yerusaalem ishee Yihuudaa keessaa sanaa ol baʼee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqa Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu sanaa haa ijaaru.
Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 Warra hafanii iddoo kam iyyuu jiraatan hundaaf sabni biyya isaan keessa jiraatan sanaa kennaa fedhiidhaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanaaf kennuu irratti dabalee meetii fi warqee, miʼaa fi horii gumaachuudhaan isa haa gargaaran.’”
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, in addition to the free will offering for God’s house which is in Jerusalem.’”
5 Ergasii hangafoonni maatii Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam, luboonnii fi Lewwonni jechuunis namoonni Waaqni garaa isaanii kakaase hundi dhaqanii mana Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessaa sana ijaaruuf qophaaʼan.
Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and the Levites, all whose spirit God had stirred to go up, rose up to build Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem.
6 Olloonni isaanii hundinuus kennaa fedhiidhaan kennan irratti dabalanii miʼa meetii fi warqee, qodaa fi horii akkasumas kennaawwan gatii guddaa baasan gumaachuudhaan isaan gargaaran.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with animals, and with precious things, in addition to all that was willingly offered.
7 Kana malees Qiiros Mootichi miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar Yerusaalemii guurratee mana Waaqa isaa keessa kaaʼatee ture sana gad ni baase.
Also Cyrus the king brought out the vessels of Yahweh’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 Qiiros mootichi Faares akka Mitredaat itti gaafatamaan qabeenyaa sun miʼa sana fidee Sheeshbazaar bulchaa Yihuudaatiif lakkaaʼu godhe.
even those, Cyrus king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
9 Miʼoonni sunis: saanii warqee 30, saanii meetii 1,000, distii meetii 29,
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 waciitii warqee 30, waciitii meetii kan qadaada qabu 410, miʼa gosa biraa 1,000.
thirty bowls of gold, four hundred ten silver bowls of a second kind, and one thousand other vessels.
11 Walumaa galatti miʼa warqeetii fi kan meetii 54,000 ture. Sheeshbazaaris miʼoota kanneen hunda yeroo boojiʼamtoota Baabilonii baasee Yerusaalemitti geessetti guuree deeme.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
