Ezra 6
1 Kisha Mfalme Dario alitoa amri, nao wakafanya uchunguzi katika kumbukumbu zilizohifadhiwa katika hazina huko Babeli.
Then Darius king the he made a decree and they searched - in [the] house books the where treasures the [were] deposited there in Babylon.
2 Karatasi moja ndefu ya maandishi ilipatikana huko Ekbatana katika jimbo la Umedi. Haya ndiyo yaliyokuwa yameandikwa humo: Kumbukumbu:
And it was found in Ecbatana in citadel the which [is] in Media province the a scroll one and as follows it was written in midst its memorandum.
3 Katika mwaka wa kwanza wa kutawala Mfalme Koreshi, mfalme alitoa amri kuhusu Hekalu la Mungu katika Yerusalemu: Hekalu na lijengwe tena mahali palepale Wayahudi walipokuwa wakitoa dhabihu, kwenye msingi ule ule. Iwe na kimo cha mikono sitini, upana wa mikono sitini,
In year one of Cyrus king the Cyrus king the he made a decree [the] house of God in Jerusalem house the let it be built a place which [they were] sacrificing sacrifices and foundations its [be] retained height its cubits sixty width its cubits sixty.
4 kuta zijengwe kwa safu tatu za mawe makubwa kisha ifuate safu moja ya mbao. Gharama zitalipwa kutoka hazina ya mfalme.
Rows of stone of rolling three and a row of timber new and expense the from [the] house of king the let it be given.
5 Pia, vyombo vya dhahabu na vya fedha vya nyumba ya Mungu, ambavyo Nebukadneza alivichukua kutoka kwenye Hekalu huko Yerusalemu akavileta Babeli, yapasa virudishwe mahali pake ndani ya Hekalu huko Yerusalemu, yapasa viwekwe ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu.
And also [the] vessels of [the] house of God of gold and silver which Nebuchadnezzar he brought out from temple the which [was] in Jerusalem and he carried to Babylon let them send back and let it go to temple the which [is] in Jerusalem to place its so you may deposit [them] in [the] house of God.
6 Sasa basi, Tatenai, mtawala wa Ngʼambo ya Mto Frati na Shethar-Bozenai pamoja na ninyi, maafisa wenzao wa jimbo hilo kaeni mbali na mahali hapo.
Now O Tattenai [the] governor of [the] region beyond river the Shethar-Bozenai and associates their officials the who [are] in [the] region beyond river the far be! from there.
7 Msiingilie kazi ya Hekalu hili la Mungu. Mwacheni mtawala wa Wayahudi na viongozi Wayahudi wajenge upya nyumba hii ya Mungu mahali pake.
Leave! [the] work of [the] house of God this [the] governor of Jews the and [the] elders of Jews the [the] house of God this let them build on place its.
8 Zaidi ya hayo, hapa natoa amri kuhusu mtakalofanya kwa ajili ya wazee wa Wayahudi katika ujenzi wa nyumba hii ya Mungu: Gharama za watu hawa zitalipwa kikamilifu kutoka hazina ya mfalme, kutoka kwenye mapato ya Ngʼambo ya Mto Frati, ili ujenzi usisimame.
And from me it is made a decree to whatever that you will do with [the] elders of Jews the these to build [the] house of God this and from [the] properti of king the which [is] [the] tribute of [the] region beyond river the diligently expense the let it be given to men the these that not to make to cease.
9 Chochote kinachohitajika kama mafahali wachanga, kondoo dume, wana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa Mungu wa mbinguni, ngano, chumvi, divai na mafuta kama vitakavyohitajika na makuhani huko Yerusalemu, lazima wapewe kila siku pasipo kukosa,
And whatever things needed and young of bulls and rams and lambs - for burnt offerings - to [the] God of heavens the wheat salt - wine and oil according to [the] word of priests the who [are] in Jerusalem it will be given to them day - by day that not negligence.
10 ili waweze kutoa dhabihu inayompendeza Mungu wa mbinguni na kumwombea mfalme na wanawe hali njema.
That they will be offering soothing offerings to [the] God of heavens the and praying for [the] life of king the and sons his.
11 Zaidi ya hayo, ninaamuru kwamba mtu yeyote atakayebadilisha amri hii, boriti itangʼolewa kutoka nyumba yake, ichongwe upande mmoja na atumbuliwe nayo. Kwa ajili ya kosa hili nyumba yake ifanywe lundo la taka.
And from me it is made a decree that every person who he will violate command the this let it be pulled away a beam from house his and [he will] be lifted up let him be impaled on it and house his a refuse-heap let it be made on this.
12 Naye Mungu, aliyeliweka Jina lake huko, amwangushe mfalme yeyote au watu watakaoinua mikono kubadili amri hii au kuharibu Hekalu hili lililoko Yerusalemu. Mimi Dario nimetoa amri hii. Nayo itekelezwe kwa bidii na kwa makini.
And God who he has caused to dwell name his there may he overthrow every king and people who - he will stretch out hand his to violate to destroy [the] house of God this which [is] in Jerusalem I Darius I make a decree diligently let it be done.
13 Kwa sababu ya amri aliyotoa Mfalme Dario, Tatenai mtawala wa Ngʼambo ya Mto Frati na Shethar-Bozenai na wenzao wakaitekeleza kwa bidii na kwa makini.
Then Tattenai [the] governor of [the] region beyond river the Shethar-Bozenai and associates their before that he had sent Darius king the accordingly diligently they did.
14 Hivyo wazee wa Wayahudi waliendelea kujenga na kustawi kutokana na mahubiri ya manabii Hagai na Zekaria, mwana wa Ido. Wakakamilisha ujenzi wa Hekalu kulingana na agizo la Mungu wa Israeli na amri ya Koreshi, Dario na Artashasta wafalme wa Uajemi.
And [the] elders of Jews the [were] building and prospering by [the] prophesying of Haggai (prophet the *Q(K)*) and Zechariah [the] son of Iddo and they built and they finished according to [the] decree of [the] God of Israel and according to [the] decree of Cyrus and Darius and Artaxerxes [the] king of Persia.
15 Hekalu lilikamilika siku ya kumi na mbili ya mwezi wa Adari, ndio mwezi wa tatu, katika mwaka wa sita wa utawala wa Mfalme Dario.
And it was brought forth house the this until day three of [the] month of Adar which it [was] year six of [the] reign of Darius king the.
16 Kisha watu wa Israeli: makuhani, Walawi na wengine wote waliohamishwa, wakaadhimisha kule kuwekwa wakfu nyumba ya Mungu kwa shangwe.
And they made [the] people of Israel priests the and Levites the and [the] rest of [the] people of exile the [the] dedication of [the] house of God this with joy.
17 Kwa ajili ya kuwekwa wakfu nyumba hii ya Mungu walitoa mafahali mia moja, kondoo dume mia mbili, wana-kondoo mia nne, sadaka kwa ajili ya dhambi ya Israeli yote walitoa mbuzi dume kumi na wawili, mmoja kwa ajili ya kila kabila la Israeli.
And they offered for [the] dedication of [the] house of God this bulls one hundred rams two hundred lambs four hundred and he-goats of goats (for a sin offering *Q(K)*) on all Israel two [plus] ten to [the] number of [the] tribes of Israel.
18 Wakawaweka makuhani katika nafasi zao na Walawi wakawekwa katika makundi yao ya huduma kwa Mungu huko Yerusalemu, kulingana na ilivyoandikwa katika Kitabu cha Mose.
And they appointed priests the in divisions their and Levites the in classes their over [the] service of God which [is] in Jerusalem according to [the] writing of [the] book of Moses.
19 Katika siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza, waliorudi kutoka uhamishoni wakaadhimisha Pasaka.
And they celebrated [the] children of the exile the passover on [day] four-teen of the month the first.
20 Makuhani na Walawi walikuwa wamekwisha kujitakasa nao wamekuwa safi kwa kufuata kawaida za ibada. Walawi wakachinja kondoo wa Pasaka kwa ajili ya wana wa waliorudi kutoka utumwani uhamishoni, kwa ajili ya ndugu zao makuhani na wao wenyewe.
For they had purified themselves the priests and the Levites as one all of them [were] pure and they slaughtered the passover for all [the] children of the exile and for brothers their the priests and for themselves.
21 Hivyo Waisraeli waliokuwa wamerudi kutoka utumwani uhamishoni wakaila Pasaka, pamoja na wale waliokuwa wamejitenga na matendo ya unajisi wa Mataifa ya jirani ili kumtafuta Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli.
And they ate [the] people of Israel who had returned from the exile and every [one who] had separated himself from [the] uncleanness of [the] nations of the land to them to seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
22 Kwa muda wa siku saba waliiadhimisha Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu kwa furaha, kwa sababu Bwana alikuwa amewajaza furaha kwa kubadilisha nia ya mfalme wa Ashuru kwamba awasaidie ujenzi wa nyumba ya Mungu, Mungu wa Israeli.
And they celebrated [the] feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy for - he had made rejoice them Yahweh and he had turned [the] heart of [the] king of Assyria towards them to make strong hands their in [the] work of [the] house of God [the] God of Israel.
