< Cesraa 3 >
1 Oo markii bishii toddobaad la gaadhay, oo ay reer binu Israa'iilna iska degganaayeen magaalooyinkoodii, ayaa dadkii oo dhammu ugu soo wada urureen Yeruusaalem sidii nin keliya.
By the time of the seventh month, the Israelites had settled in their towns, and the people gathered together as one in Jerusalem.
2 Markaasaa waxaa istaagay Yeeshuuca oo ahaa ina Yoosaadaaq, iyo walaalihiisii wadaaddada ahaa, iyo Serubaabel oo ahaa ina Salaatii'eel, iyo walaalihiis, oo waxay dhiseen meeshii allabariga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil inay ku dul bixiyaan qurbaanno la gubo, sida ay ugu qoran tahay sharcigii Muuse oo ahaa ninka Ilaah.
Then Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and the priests with him, together with Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and his relatives, started to build the altar of the God of Israel in order to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, as instructed by the Law of Moses, the man of God.
3 Oo meeshii allabariga waxay saareen saldhiggeedii, waayo, iyagu waxay ka cabsanayeen dadkii dalalka degganaa, oo waxay Rabbiga ugu dul bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo oo ahaa kuwii subaxnimada iyo kuwii habeennimada.
Even though they were afraid of the local people, they set up the altar on its original foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both morning and evening burnt offerings.
4 Oo iiddii taambuugyadana waxay u iideen sidii ay u qornayd, oo maalin kastana waxay tiro ku bixinayeen qurbaannada la gubo, sidii amarku ahaa, iyo intii maalin kasta layska doonayay;
They observed the Festival of Shelters as the Law required, sacrificing the specified number of burnt offerings each day.
5 dabadeedna qurbaankii joogtada ahaa, iyo kuwii bilaha cusub, iyo iidihii Rabbiga oo quduuska ahaa, iyo kii qof waluba Rabbiga ikhtiyaarkiisa ugu bixiyey.
After that also presented the daily burnt offerings and the new moon offerings, as well as those for all the yearly festivals of the lord and for those who brought voluntary offerings to the Lord.
6 Oo maalintii kowaad oo bishii toddobaad ayay bilaabeen inay Rabbiga u bixiyaan qurbaanno la gubo, laakiinse macbudka aasaaskiisii weli lama dhigin.
So from the first day of the seventh month, the Israelites began to present burnt offerings to the Lord, even though the foundation of the Lord's Temple had not been laid.
7 Oo waxay wastaadyadii iyo nijaarradii siiyeen lacag; oo kuwii reer Siidoon iyo kuwii reer Turosna waxay siiyeen cunto, iyo cabniin, iyo saliid si ay geedaha kedarka la yidhaahdo Lubnaan uga keenaan oo ay badda u soo marsiiyaan ilaa Yaafaa, sidii uu Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ugu oggolaaday.
They paid masons and carpenters, and provided food and drink and olive oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre for them to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as King Cyrus of Persia had authorized.
8 Haddaba markay yimaadeen guriga Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal sannaddii labaad bisheedii labaad ayay Serubaabel oo ahaa ina Salaatii'eel, iyo Yeeshuuca oo ahaa ina Yoosaadaaq, shuqulkii bilaabeen, iyaga iyo intii kale oo ahayd wadaaddadii walaalahood ahaa, iyo kuwii reer Laawi, iyo kulli intii maxaabiista ka soo baxday oo Yeruusaalem timid, oo kuwii reer Laawi intii labaatan sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weyn ayay u doorteen inay shuqulkii guriga Rabbiga u sarreeyaan.
In the second month of the second year after arriving at God's Temple in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and those with them—the priests, the Levites, and everyone who had come back to Jerusalem from captivity—began the work. They put Levites twenty years and older to in charge of building the Lord's Temple.
9 Markaasaa waxaa dhammaan istaagay Yeeshuuca, iyo wiilashiisii iyo walaalihiis, iyo Qadmii'eel iyo wiilashiisii oo ahaa reer Yahuudah, inay u sarreeyaan shaqaalaha ku jira guriga Rabbiga, iyo weliba wiilashii Xeenaadaad iyo wiilashoodii iyo walaalahood oo ahaa reer Laawi.
Jeshua and his sons and relatives, Kadmiel and his sons, the descendants of Yehudah, the sons of Henadad and their sons and relatives, all of them Levites, supervised those working on God's Temple.
10 Oo kuwii gurigii dhisayay markay aasaaskii macbudka Rabbiga dhigeen waxaa istaagay wadaaddadii iyagoo dharkoodii xidhan oo turumbooyin wata, iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa ilma Aasaaf oo haysta suxuun laysku garaaco, inay Rabbiga ammaanaan sidii uu ahaa amarkii Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil.
When the builders laid the foundation of the Lord's Temple, the priests dressed in their special clothes and carrying trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) carrying cymbals, all took their places to praise the Lord, following the instructions given by King David of Israel.
11 Oo markaasay darandoorri u gabyeen iyagoo Rabbiga ammaanaya oo u mahadnaqaya, oo leh, Isagu wuu wanaagsan yahay, reer binu Israa'iilna weligiisba wuu u naxariistaa. Oo markay Rabbiga ammaaneen ayaa dadkii oo dhammu dhawaaq weyn ku dhawaaqay, maxaa yeelay, waxaa la dhigay aasaaskii gurigii Rabbiga.
They sang with praise and thanks to the Lord: “God is good; for his trustworthy love for Israel lasts forever.” Then everyone there gave a tremendous shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the Lord's Temple had been laid.
12 Oo wadaaddadii badidood, iyo kuwii reer Laawi, iyo madaxdii qabiilooyinka oo ahaa odayaashii arkay gurigii hore ayaa aad u ooyay markay arkeen gurigan aasaaskiisii oo hortooda lagu dhigay, oo kuwo badanuna farxad bay la qayliyeen,
But many of the older priests, Levites, and family leaders who remembered the first Temple wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this Temple, though many others shouted for joy.
13 oo sidaas daraaddeed dadkii wuu kala sooci kari waayay dhawaaqii farxadda iyo qayladii oohinta, oo buuqiina waxaa laga maqlay meel fog.
However, nobody could tell the shouts of joy from the cries of weeping, because everyone was making so much noise—so much so it could be heard a long way away.
