Cesraa 1
1 In Eraygii Rabbiga ee Yeremyaah afkiisa ka soo baxay uu ahaado aawadeed, sannaddii kowaad oo Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ayaa Rabbigu kiciyey ruuxii Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris, oo isna boqortooyadiisii oo dhan ayuu ogeysiis ugu dhawaaqay oo weliba qoray, oo wuxuu yidhi,
During the first year that Cyrus ruled [the] Persian [Empire], he did something that fulfilled what Jeremiah had prophesied. Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this message, and then Cyrus sent this message throughout his empire:
2 Kuuros oo ah boqorka Faaris wuxuu leeyahay, Boqortooyooyinka dhulka oo dhan waxaa i siiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada; oo wuxuu igu amray inaan isaga guri uga dhiso Yeruusaalem oo ku taal dalka Yahuudah.
“I, King Cyrus, who rule [the] Persian [Empire], declare this: 'Yahweh, the God [who is in/rules] from heaven, has caused me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms [that I know about] on the earth. And he has appointed me [to enable his people] to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, in Judah [land].
3 Haddaba ku alla kii idinku dhex jira oo dadkiisa ah Ilaahiisu ha la jiro, oo isna ha tago Yeruusaalem oo dalka Yahuudah ku taal, oo ha dhiso guriga Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo ku yaal Yeruusaalem. (Isagu waa Ilaah.)
All you people who belong to God may go up to Jerusalem to rebuild this temple for Yahweh, the God who lives in Jerusalem, the God [who is worshiped by you] Israeli people. I desire/hope that your God will be with you [and help those who go there].
4 Oo ku alla kii ku hadha meesha uu deggan yahay, dadka ay isku degmada yihiin ha ku caawiyaan lacag iyo dahab, iyo xoolo mood iyo noolba ah, oo ayan ku jirin qurbaanka ay ikhtiyaarkooda ugu bixiyaan guriga Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal.
Those people who are in places where Israelis are living, whose ancestors were exiled here, should contribute silver and gold to those who go. They should also give them supplies [that they will need for the journey to Jerusalem]. They should also give them some livestock, and gifts of money to help build the temple of God in Jerusalem.'”
5 Markaasaa waxaa kacay madaxdii qolooyinka reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo reer Laawi, iyo xataa dhammaan intii kale ee Ilaah ruuxooda kiciyey si ay u tagaan oo ay u dhisaan guriga Rabbiga oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal.
Then God motivated some of the priests and (Levites/men who did work in the temple) and some of the leaders of the tribes that were descended from Judah and Benjamin to return to Jerusalem. Those whom God motivated got ready to return to Jerusalem and build the temple for Yahweh there.
6 Oo kulli intii hareerahooda ku wareegsanayd oo dhammu waxay gacmahooda ku xoogeeyeen weelal lacag ah iyo dahab, iyo xoolo mood iyo noolba ah, iyo waxyaalo qaali ah, oo wixii ikhtiyaarka loo bixiyey ayan ku jirin.
All of their neighbors helped them by giving them things made of silver and things made of gold, and supplies for the journey, and livestock. They also gave them other valuable gifts, and also gave them money [to buy things for building the temple].
7 Oo weliba Kuurosna wuxuu soo bixiyey weelashii guriga Rabbiga, oo Nebukadnesar uu Yeruusaalem ka soo bixiyey oo uu dhigay gurigii ilaahyadiisa.
King Cyrus brought out the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had taken from the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem and put in the temple of Nebuchadnezzar’s gods [in Babylon].
8 Oo Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ayaa alaabtaas soo bixiyey oo u dhiibay qasnajigii Mitredaad ahaa, oo isna wuxuu u tiriyey Sheeshbasar, oo reer Yahuudah amiir u ahaa.
Cyrus commanded Mithredath, the treasurer of [the] Persian [Empire], to count all these items and then give them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of [the group that was going to return to] Judah.
9 Oo tiradoodiina waa tan, soddon saxan oo dahab ah, iyo kun saxan oo lacag ah, iyo sagaal iyo labaatan mindiyood,
This is a list of the items that Cyrus donated: 30 large gold dishes 1,000 large silver dishes 29 silver (censers/incense burning pans)
10 iyo soddon maddiibadood oo dahab ah, iyo afar boqol iyo toban maddiibadood oo ah lacagta caynka labaad ah, iyo kun weel oo kale.
30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
11 Oo kulligood weelashii dahabka iyo lacagta ahaa waxay isku ahaayeen shan kun iyo afar boqol. Oo intaas oo dhan Sheeshbasar wuu wada keenay, markii Yeruusaalem la keenay maxaabiistii Baabuloon laga soo celiyey.
All together, there were 5,400 items made of silver or gold, that [were given to] Sheshbazzar [to] take with him when he and the others returned to Jerusalem.
