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 who were in Judah and Jerusalem. They prophesied to them in the name of the God of Israel.
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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Yeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping 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 the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, came to them, with Shetharbozenai and their companions, and asked them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
4 Markaasaannu sidan kula hadalnay, oo ku nidhi, Nimanka dhismahan dhisaya magacyadooda maxaa la yidhaahdaa?
They also asked for the names of the men who were making 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 on the Jewish elders, and they didn’t make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned 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 Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king follows.
7 Warqad bay u direen, oo waxaa ku qornaa wax sidan ah: Boqor Daariyusow, nabadi korkaaga ha ahaato.
They sent a letter to him, in which was written: 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. This work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.
9 Oo waxaannu duqowdaas weyddiinnay oo ku nidhi, Yaa idin siiyey amar aad gurigan ku dhistaan, oo aad derbigan ku dhammaysaan?
Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, “Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish 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 them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
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.
Thus they returned us answer, saying, “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
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 our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Kasdian, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into 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, Cyrus the king made a decree 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;
The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made 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.
He said to him, ‘Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house 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 the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet 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.
Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”
