Cesraa 7
1 Haddaba waxyaalahaas dabadeed intii Artaxshasta oo boqorkii Faaris ahaa dowladnimada haystay ayaa Baabuloon waxaa ka soo kacay Cesraa ina Seraayaah, oo ahaa ina Casaryaah, ina Xilqiyaah,
Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
2 ina Shalluum, ina Saadooq, ina Axiituub,
the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
3 ina Amaryaah, ina Casaryaah, ina Meraayood,
the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
4 ina Seraxyaah, ina Cusii, ina Buqii,
the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
5 ina Abiishuuca, ina Fiinexaas, ina Elecaasaar, ina Haaruun kii ahaa wadaadka sare;
the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
6 oo Cesraahan ayaa ka tegey Baabuloon, oo wuxuu ahaa karraani aad u yaqaan sharcigii Muuse uu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil siiyey; oo boqorkuna wuxuu siiyey wixii uu weyddiistay oo dhan sidii ay gacantii Rabbiga Ilaahiis ahu u saarnayd.
this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to Yahweh his God’s hand on him.
7 Oo sannaddii toddobaad oo dowladnimadii Boqor Artaxshasta waxaa Yeruusaalem tegey qaar ah reer binu Israa'iil, iyo wadaaddada, iyo reer Laawi, iyo nimankii gabayaaga ahaa, iyo irid-dhawryadii, iyo reer Netiiniim.
Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 Oo wuxuu Yeruusaalem yimid boqorka sannaddiisii toddobaad, bisheedii shanaad.
He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9 Baabuloon ayuu ka soo baxay bishii kowaad maalinteedii kowaad, oo wuxuu Yeruusaalem yimid bishii shanaad maalinteedii kowaad, sidii ay gacantii Ilaahiisa oo wanaagsanayd u saarnayd.
For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.
10 Waayo, Cesraa wuxuu qalbigiisa u diyaariyey inuu doondoono oo sameeyo Rabbiga sharcigiisa iyo inuu reer binu Israa'iil baro qaynuunno iyo xukummo.
For Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
11 Haddaba kanu waa naqilkii warqaddii uu Boqor Artaxshasta siiyey Cesraa oo ahaa wadaadkii iyo karraanigii kaasoo ahaa karraanigii erayadii amarrada Rabbiga iyo qaynuunnadiisii uu reer binu Israa'iil siiyey.
Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of Yahweh’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:
12 Anigoo ah Artaxshasta boqorkii boqorrada, waxaan u qorayaa wadaadkii Cesraa oo ah karraanigii sharciga Ilaaha samada ee kaamil ah, iyo wax la mid ah. Salaan
Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
13 Waxaan amar ku bixinayaa in dadka reer binu Israa'iil, iyo wadaaddadooda, iyo reer Laawi, inta boqortooyadayda ku jirta, ee ikhtiyaarkooda u doonaya inay Yeruusaalem tagaan, ay dhammaan ku raacaan.
I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
14 Waxaa ku soo diray boqorkii iyo toddobadiisii lataliye inaad soo warsatid Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, sida waafaqsan sharciga Ilaahaaga oo gacantaada ku jira,
Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
15 iyo inaad qaaddid lacagta iyo dahabka ay boqorka iyo lataliyayaashiisu ikhtiyaarkooda ugu bixiyeen Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo rugtiisu tahay Yeruusaalem,
and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16 iyo kulli lacagta iyo dahabka aad ka heli doonto gobolka Baabuloon oo dhan, iyo qurbaanka dadku ikhtiyaarka u bixiyo, iyo kan wadaaddadu ay ikhtiyaarkooda ugu bixiyaan guriga Ilaahooda oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal aawadiis,
and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.
17 haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waa inaad aad ugu dadaashaa inaad lacagtan ku iibiso dibi, iyo wanan, iyo baraar, iyo qurbaannadooda hadhuudhka ah, iyo qurbaannadooda cabniinka ah, oo aad ku dul bixisaa meesha allabariga ee guriga Ilaahaaga oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal.
Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 Oo lacagta iyo dahabka intooda kale ku sameeya wax alla wixii adiga iyo walaalahaa idinla wanaagsan oo sida Ilaahiin doonayo ah.
Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
19 Oo weelasha laguugu dhiibay in lagu qabto adeegidda guriga Ilaahaaga waxaad hor geeysaa Ilaaha Yeruusaalem.
The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 Oo wax alla wixii kaloo loogu baahan yahay guriga Ilaahaaga aawadiis, ee kugu habboon inaad bixiso, ka bixi boqorka gurigiisa khasnadda ah.
Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
21 Oo weliba anigoo ah Boqor Artaxshasta waxaan amar ku siinayaa khasnajiyada webiga shishadiisa jooga oo dhan, in dadaal lagu sameeyo wax alla wixii uu idin weyddiisto wadaadka Cesraa oo ah karraaniga sharciga Ilaaha samada,
I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
22 intii ku siman boqol talanti oo lacag ah, iyo boqol kor oo sarreen ah, iyo boqol bad oo khamri ah, iyo boqol bad oo saliid ah, iyo cusbo aan la xisaabin intay tahay.
up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
23 Haddaba wax alla wixii Ilaaha samadu uu amro saas dadaal ha loogu sameeyo guriga Ilaaha samada aawadiis, waayo, bal maxay cadho ugu dhacaysaa boqortooyada boqorka iyo wiilashiisa?
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Oo weliba waxaannu ku ogeysiinaynaa inaanay xalaal ahaan doonin in gabbaro, canshuur, amase baad toona la saaro wadaaddada, iyo kuwa reer Laawi, iyo nimanka gabayaaga ah, iyo irid-dhawryada, iyo reer Netiiniim, iyo addoommada gurigan Ilaah midkoodna.
Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.
25 Oo adigoo Cesraa ahu xigmadda Ilaahaagu ku siiyey ku dooro xaakinno iyo qaadiyo u garsoora dadka webiga ka shisheeya oo dhan, in alla inta taqaan sharciyada Ilaahaaga, oo kii aan aqoonna bara.
You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.
26 Oo ku alla kii aan addeecin sharciga Ilaahaaga iyo sharciga boqorka, xukun ha lagu soo dejiyo, iyadoo aad loogu dadaalayo, hadday tahay in la dilo, ama in la masaafuriyo, ama in xoolihiisa lagala wareego, amase in la xidho.
Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 Waxaa ammaan leh Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashayo, oo boqorka qalbigiisa geliyey wax sidanoo kale ah, inuu ku qurxiyo guriga Rabbiga oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal,
Blessed be Yahweh, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem;
28 oo naxariis iga siiyey boqorkii, iyo lataliyayaashiisa, iyo amiirradiisa xoogga badan hortooda oo dhan. Oo waxaan u xoogaystay sidii gacanta Rabbiga Ilaahayga ahu ii saarnayd, markaasaan reer binu Israa'iil ka dhex urursaday rag madax ah inay i raacaan.
and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to Yahweh my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
