Cesraa 5

1 Haddaba nebiyadii ahaa Nebi Xaggay, iyo Sekaryaah ina Iddo ayaa wax u sii sheegay Yuhuuddii degganayd Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, oo magaca Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayay wax ugu sii sheegeen.

Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel [did they prophesy] to them.

2 Markaasaa waxaa kacay Serubaabel oo ahaa ina Salaatii'eel, iyo Yeeshuuca oo ahaa ina Yoosaadaaq, oo waxay bilaabeen inay dhisaan gurigii Ilaah oo ku yaal Yeruusaalem; oo waxaa iyaga la jiray oo caawinayay nebiyadii Ilaah.

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, who helped them.

3 Oo isla markaasba waxaa u yimid Tatenay oo ahaa taliyihii dalka webiga ka shisheeya, iyo Shetar Boosnay iyo saaxiibbadood, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War yaa amar idin siiyey inaad gurigan dhistaan, iyo inaad derbigan dhammaysaan?

At that time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus to them: Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?

4 Markaasaannu sidan kula hadalnay, oo ku nidhi, Nimanka dhismahan dhisaya magacyadooda maxaa la yidhaahdaa?

And they said to them after this manner: What are the names of the men that build this building?

5 Laakiinse duqowdii Yuhuudda waxaa isha ku hayay Ilaahooda, oo iyana shuqulkii ma ay joojin ilaa xaalku soo gaadho Daariyus, oo warqad jawaab ah ee taas ku saabsan loo soo celiyo.

But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter came to Darius; and then they returned answer by letter concerning it.

6 Tanu waa naqilkii warqaddii Tatenay oo ahaa taliyihii dalka webiga ka shisheeya, iyo Shetar Boosnay, iyo saaxiibbadiis oo ahaa reer Afarsekaayee oo webiga shishadiisa joogay ay u soo direen boqorkii Daariyus.

The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side the river, sent to Darius the king.

7 Warqad bay u direen, oo waxaa ku qornaa wax sidan ah: Boqor Daariyusow, nabadi korkaaga ha ahaato.

They sent a report to him in which was written thus: To Darius the king, all peace!

8 Boqorow, bal ogow inaannu tagnay gobolka Yahuudah, oo soo aragnay gurigii Ilaaha weyn, oo dhagaxyo waaweyn lagu dhisay, oo derbiyadiisana alwaax la dhex geliyey, oo shuqulkaasuna dadaal buu ku socdaa oo gacmahooduu ku liibaanaa.

Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their hand.

9 Oo waxaannu duqowdaas weyddiinnay oo ku nidhi, Yaa idin siiyey amar aad gurigan ku dhistaan, oo aad derbigan ku dhammaysaan?

Then asked we those elders: thus we said to them, Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?

10 Oo haddana waxaannu kaloo weyddiinnay magacyadoodii, si aan kuu ogeysiinno, iyo si aan kuugu soo qorno nimanka madaxdooda ah magacyadooda.

We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.

11 Oo iyana sidanay jawaab noogu soo celiyeen oo yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu nahay addoommadii Ilaaha samada iyo dhulka, oo waxaannu dhisaynaa gurigan oo sannado badan oo hore la dhisay, oo boqor weyn oo reer binu Israa'iil ahu uu dhisay oo dhammeeyey.

And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.

12 Laakiinse awowayaashayadii waxay ka xanaajiyeen Ilaaha samada, oo taas daraaddeed ayuu ugu riday gacantii Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, kii reer Kaldayiin oo gurigan dumiyey oo dadkiina Baabuloon u kaxaystay.

But after that our fathers had provoked the God of the heavens to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people away unto Babylon.

13 Laakiinse Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon sannaddiisii kowaad ayaa Boqor Kuuros bixiyey amar lagu dhiso gurigan Ilaah.

But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, king Cyrus gave orders to build this house of God.

14 Oo weliba weelashii dahabka iyo lacagta ahaa ee gurigii Ilaah oo uu Nebukadnesar ka qaaday macbudkii Yeruusaalem ku yiil oo uu geeyey macbudkii Baabuloon, kuwaas boqor Kuuros wuu ka soo bixiyey macbudkii Baabuloon, oo waxaa loo soo dhiibay mid magiciisa la odhan jiray Sheeshbasar, oo uu isagu taliye ka dhigay;

And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was at Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did king Cyrus take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he had appointed governor.

15 oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Tag oo weelashan qaad, oo waxaad gelisaa macbudka Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo gurigii Ilaahna ha laga dhiso meeshiisii.

And he said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is at Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.

16 Markaasaa Sheeshbasarkii yimid, oo wuxuu dhigay aasaaskii guriga Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo tan iyo waagaas waa la dhisayay, laakiinse weli lama dhammaystirin.

Then came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and since that time even until now has it been in building, and it is not completed.

17 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, haddii ay kula wanaagsan tahay, boqorow, bal ha la baadho gurigaaga khasnadda ah oo Baabuloon ku yaal, bal inay saas tahay in Boqor Kuuros amar ku bixiyey in la dhiso gurigan Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo noo soo dir wixii aad xaalkan ka damacsan tahay.

And now, if it seem good to the king, let search be made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that orders were given by king Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
