Əzra 4
1 Yǝⱨuda wǝ Binyamindiki rǝⱪiblǝr sürgünlüktin ⱪaytip kǝlgǝnlǝr Israilning Hudasi Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa atap ɵyni yengiwaxtin salmaⱪqikǝn, degǝn gǝpni anglap,
The enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a Temple to the Lord, the God of Israel.
2 Zǝrubbabǝl wǝ jǝmǝt baxliⱪliri bilǝn kɵrüxüp: — Biz silǝr bilǝn billǝ salayli; qünki bizmu silǝrgǝ ohxaxla silǝrning Hudayinglarni izlǝp, bizni bu yǝrgǝ ǝkǝlgǝn Asuriyǝ padixaⱨi Esar-Ⱨaddonning künliridin tartip uningƣa ⱪurbanliⱪ sunup keliwatimiz, deyixti.
They came to Zerubbabel and the family leaders and said, “Please let us help you with the building work, for we worship your God like you do. In fact we have been sacrificing to him since the time of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.”
3 Lekin Zǝrubbabǝl, Yǝxua bilǝn Israilning baxⱪa jǝmǝt baxliⱪliri ularƣa: — Hudayimizƣa ɵy selixta silǝrning biz bilǝn ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ alaⱪǝnglar yoⱪ; bǝlki Pars padixaⱨi Ⱪorǝx bizgǝ buyruƣandǝk, pǝⱪǝt biz ɵzimizla Israilning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa ɵy salimiz, deyixti.
But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the family leaders of Israel replied, “You can't share with us in building a Temple for our God. Only we can build it for the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what Cyrus the king of Persia has ordered us to do.”
4 Xuningdin keyin xu yǝrdiki aⱨalǝ Yǝⱨudalarning ⱪolini ajiz ⱪilip, ularning ⱪurulux ⱪilixiƣa kaxila tuƣdurup turdi.
Then the local people set out to intimidate the people of Judah and make them too scared to go on building.
5 Ular yǝnǝ Pars padixaⱨi Ⱪorǝxning barliⱪ künliridin taki Pars padixaⱨi Darius tǝhtkǝ olturƣan waⱪitⱪiqǝ, daim mǝsliⱨǝtqilǝrni setiwelip, Yǝⱨudalar bilǝn ⱪerixip, ⱪurulux nixanini buzuxⱪa urunup turdi.
They bribed officials to oppose them and to obstruct their plans. This continued during the whole reign of Cyrus king of Persia up until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
6 Aⱨaxwerox tǝhtkǝ qiⱪⱪan dǝslǝpki waⱪitlarda ular uningƣa Yǝⱨudiyǝ wǝ Yerusalem aⱨalisi üstidin bir ǝrznamǝ yazdi.
When Ahasuerus became king the local people sent him a written accusation against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
7 Xuningdǝk Artahxaxta künliridǝ Bixlam, Mitridat, Tabǝǝl wǝ ularning ⱪalƣan xeriklirimu Pars padixaⱨi Artahxaxtaƣa aramiy tilida bir ǝrz hetini yazdi; hǝt aramiy tilidin tǝrjimǝ ⱪilindi.
During the time of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and their fellow officers wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. The letter was written in Aramaic and translated from Aramaic.
8 Waliy Rǝⱨum bilǝn diwan begi Ximxay padixaⱨ Artahxaxtaƣa Yerusalem üstidin tɵwǝndikidǝk ǝrznamǝ yazdi: —
Rehum the officer in command and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter to King Artaxerxes condemning Jerusalem stating,
9 «Mǝzkur mǝktupni yazƣanlardin, waliy Rǝⱨum, katip begi Ximxay wǝ ularning baxⱪa ⱨǝmraⱨliri bolƣan soraⱪqilar, mupǝttixlǝr, mǝnsǝpdarlar, katiplar, arⱪiwiliⱪlar, Babilliⱪlar, Xuxanliⱪlar, yǝni Elamiylar
This comes from Rehum the officer in command, Shimshai the scribe, and fellow officers: the judges and officials and those in charge of Persia, Erech and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa,
10 wǝ uluƣ janabiy Osnappar Samariyǝ xǝⱨirigǝ wǝ [Əfrat] dǝryaning muxu tǝripidiki baxⱪa yǝrlǝrgǝ orunlaxturƣan aⱨalimu bar
and the rest of the people whom the great and noble Ashurbanipal deported and resettled in the towns of Samaria and other places west of the Euphrates.
11 (mana bu ularning padixaⱨⱪa yazƣan hetining kɵqürülmisi) — ɵzlirining dǝryaning muxu tǝripidiki hizmǝtkarliridin padixaⱨ aliliri Artahxaxtaƣa salam!
The following is a copy of the letter they sent to him. To King Artaxerxes, from your servants, men beyond the River Euphrates:
12 Padixaⱨ aliylirigǝ mǝlum bolsunki, ɵzliri tǝrǝptin biz tǝrǝpkǝ kǝlgǝn Yǝⱨudiylar Yerusalemƣa kelixti; ular axu asiy wǝ sesiⱪ xǝⱨǝrni ⱪuruwatidu, ulini yasap püttürdi, sepilni yasap qiⱪti wǝ sepilning ullirini bir-birigǝ ulap yasawatidu.
Your Majesty should be informed that the Jews who came from you to us have returned to Jerusalem. They are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city, completing repairs to the walls, and mending its foundations.
13 Əmdi uluƣ padixaⱨ aliylirigǝ xu mǝlum bolƣayki, mubada bu xǝⱨǝr onglansa, sepil pütküzülsǝ, ular baj tapxurmaydiƣan, olpan tɵlimǝydiƣan wǝ paraⱪ tapxurmaydiƣan boluwalidu, bundaⱪ ketiwǝrsǝ padixaⱨlarning hǝzinisigǝ sɵzsiz ziyan bolidu.
Your Majesty should realize that if this city is rebuilt and its walls repaired, they will not pay tax, tribute, or fees, and the king's revenue will suffer.
14 Biz ordining tuzini yǝp turup, padixaⱨimizning bundaⱪ biⱨɵrmǝt ⱪilinixiƣa ⱪarap turuximizƣa ⱪǝt’iy toƣra kǝlmǝydu, xu sǝwǝbtin padixaⱨimizƣa mǝlum ⱪilixⱪa jür’ǝt ⱪilduⱪ.
Now because we are in the king's service and it is not right for us to see Your Majesty disrespected, we are sending this letter so that you can be informed,
15 Xuning üqün [aliylirining] ata-bowilirining tarihnamisini sürüxtǝ ⱪilixlirini tǝxǝbbus ⱪilimiz; sili tarihnamidin bu xǝⱨǝrning ǝⱨwalini bilip, uning padixaⱨlarƣimu, ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkilǝrgimu ziyan yǝtküzüp kǝlgǝn asiy bir xǝⱨǝr ikǝnlikini, ⱪǝdimdin tartip bu xǝⱨǝrdikilǝr aƣdurmiqiliⱪ teriƣanliⱪini bilgǝyla; dǝl xu sǝwǝbtin bu xǝⱨǝr wǝyran ⱪilinƣanidi.
and order a search of the royal archives. You will discover in these records that this is a rebellious city, damaging to kings and countries, having often risen up in revolt in the past. That is what led to this city being destroyed.
16 Xunga biz aliyliriƣa xuni uⱪturmaⱪqimizki, ǝgǝr bu xǝⱨǝr ⱪurulsa, sepilliri pütküzülsǝ, undaⱪta silining dǝryaning muxu tǝripidiki yǝrlǝrgǝ ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ igidarqiliⱪliri bolmay ⱪalidu».
We wish to inform Your Majesty that if this city is rebuilt and the walls completed, you will lose this province west of the Euphrates.
17 Padixaⱨ mundaⱪ jawab yollidi: — «Waliy Rǝⱨum, diwan begi Ximxayƣa wǝ Samariyǝ ⱨǝm Dǝryaning xu tǝripidiki baxⱪa yǝrlǝrdǝ turuxluⱪ ⱨǝmraⱨliringlarƣa salam!
The king replied as follows: “To Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and fellow officers living in Samaria and in other areas west of the Euphrates: Greetings.
18 Silǝrning bizgǝ yazƣan ǝrz hetinglar mening aldimda eniⱪ ⱪilip oⱪup berildi.
The letter you sent to us has been translated and read to me.
19 Tǝkxürüp kɵrüxni buyruwidim, bu xǝⱨǝrning dǝrwǝⱪǝ ⱪǝdimdin tartip padixaⱨlarƣa ⱪarxi qiⱪip isyan ⱪozƣiƣan, xǝⱨǝrdǝ daim asiyliⱪ-ⱪozƣilang kɵtürüxtǝk ixlarning bolup kǝlgǝnliki mǝlum boldi.
I ordered a search to be conducted. It was discovered that this city has often risen up in revolt against kings in the past, frequently promoting insurrection and rebellion.
20 Ilgiriki waⱪitlarda ⱪudrǝtlik padixaⱨlar Yerusalemƣa ⱨɵkümranliⱪ ⱪilip, Dǝryaning xu tǝripidiki pütün yǝrlǝrni idarǝ ⱪilip kǝlgǝn, ular xularƣa beⱪinip baj, olpan wǝ pariⱪini tapxurup kǝlgǝnikǝn.
Powerful kings have ruled over Jerusalem and throughout the whole area west of the Euphrates, and they received tax, tribute, and fees.
21 Əmdi silǝr buyruⱪ qüxürüp u hǝlⱪni ixtin tohtitinglar, mǝndin baxⱪa yarliⱪ qüxürülmigüqǝ, bu xǝⱨǝrni yengiwaxtin ⱪurup qiⱪixⱪa bolmaydiƣanliⱪi uⱪturunglar.
Issue an immediate order for these men to stop work. This city is not to be rebuilt until I authorize it.
22 Bu ixni ada ⱪilmay ⱪelixtin pǝhǝs bolunglar; padixaⱨlarƣa ziyan kǝltüridiƣan apǝt nemixⱪa küqiyiweridikǝn?».
See that you do not neglect this matter. Why should this problem be allowed to grow and damage royal interests?”
23 Padixaⱨ Artahxaxtaning yarliⱪining kɵqürülmisi Rǝⱨumƣa, diwan begi Ximxay ⱨǝm ularning ⱨǝmraⱨliriƣa oⱪup berilixi bilǝnla, ular alman-talman Yerusalemdiki Yǝⱨudalarning ⱪexiƣa qiⱪip, ⱨǝrbiy küq ixlitip, ularni ixni tohtitixⱪa mǝjbur ⱪildi.
As soon as this letter from King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their fellow officers, they rushed to the Jews in Jerusalem and used their power to forcibly make them stop work.
24 Xuning bilǝn Yerusalemdiki Hudaning ɵyidiki ixlar tohtidi; ix taki Pars padixaⱨi Darius tǝhtkǝ qiⱪip ikkinqi yiliƣiqǝ tohtaƣliⱪ ⱪaldi.
Consequently work on God's Temple in Jerusalem came to a halt. The stoppage continued until the second year of the reign of King Darius of Persia.
