Əzra 4
1 Yǝⱨuda wǝ Binyamindiki rǝⱪiblǝr sürgünlüktin ⱪaytip kǝlgǝnlǝr Israilning Hudasi Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa atap ɵyni yengiwaxtin salmaⱪqikǝn, degǝn gǝpni anglap,
The enemies of the people of [the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin heard that the [Israeli] people who had returned from Babylonia were rebuilding a temple for Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worshiped].
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.
So they went to Zerubbabel [the governor] and the other leaders, and said [deceptively], “We want to help [you build the temple], because we worship that same God whom you worship, and we have been offering sacrifices to him since Esarhaddon, the King of Assyria, 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 other [Israeli] leaders replied, “We will not allow you to help us build a temple for our(exc) God. We will build it (ourselves/without your help) for Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, like Cyrus, the King of Persia, told us to do.”
4 Xuningdin keyin xu yǝrdiki aⱨalǝ Yǝⱨudalarning ⱪolini ajiz ⱪilip, ularning ⱪurulux ⱪilixiƣa kaxila tuƣdurup turdi.
Then the people who had been living in that land [before the Israelis returned] tried to cause the Jews to become discouraged and become afraid, and to cause them to stop building the temple.
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 government officials to oppose what the Israelis were doing [and prevent them from continuing to work on the temple]. They did that all during the time that Cyrus was King of Persia. They continued to do it when Darius became the King of Persia.
6 Aⱨaxwerox tǝhtkǝ qiⱪⱪan dǝslǝpki waⱪitlarda ular uningƣa Yǝⱨudiyǝ wǝ Yerusalem aⱨalisi üstidin bir ǝrznamǝ yazdi.
During the first year that [Darius’ son] Xerxes was king, the [enemies of the Jews] wrote a note [to the king] saying that the Jews [were planning to rebel against the government].
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.
Later, when [Xerxes’ son] Artaxerxes [became the King of Persia], Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and their colleagues/companions wrote a letter to him. They wrote the letter in the Aramaic language, and it was translated [into another language that the king knew].
8 Waliy Rǝⱨum bilǝn diwan begi Ximxay padixaⱨ Artahxaxtaƣa Yerusalem üstidin tɵwǝndikidǝk ǝrznamǝ yazdi: —
Rehum, the high commissioner, and Shimshai, the provincial secretary, wrote the letter to King Artaxerxes concerning what was happening in Jerusalem.
9 «Mǝzkur mǝktupni yazƣanlardin, waliy Rǝⱨum, katip begi Ximxay wǝ ularning baxⱪa ⱨǝmraⱨliri bolƣan soraⱪqilar, mupǝttixlǝr, mǝnsǝpdarlar, katiplar, arⱪiwiliⱪlar, Babilliⱪlar, Xuxanliⱪlar, yǝni Elamiylar
They stated that the letter was from Rehum the high commissioner/governor and Shimshai the provincial secretary and from their associates, the judges, and other government officials, who were from Erech [city], Babylon [city], and Susa [city] in Elam [district].
10 wǝ uluƣ janabiy Osnappar Samariyǝ xǝⱨirigǝ wǝ [Əfrat] dǝryaning muxu tǝripidiki baxⱪa yǝrlǝrgǝ orunlaxturƣan aⱨalimu bar
[They also wrote that they represented] the other people-groups whom [the army of] the great and glorious/famous [King] Ashurbanipal had (deported/forced to move from their homes) and taken to live in Samaria and in other cities in the province west of the Euphrates [River].
11 (mana bu ularning padixaⱨⱪa yazƣan hetining kɵqürülmisi) — ɵzlirining dǝryaning muxu tǝripidiki hizmǝtkarliridin padixaⱨ aliliri Artahxaxtaƣa salam!
This is what they wrote in the letter: “To King Artaxerxes, From the officials who serve you who live in the province west of the Euphrates [River.]
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, we want you to know that the Jews who came here from your territories are rebuilding this city, [Jerusalem]. These people are wicked and want to rebel against you. Now they are repairing the foundations [of the walls/buildings] and building the walls [of the city].
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.
“It is important for you to know that if they rebuild the city and finish building the walls, they will stop paying any kind of taxes. As a result, there will be less money in your treasury.
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 loyal to [IDM] you, and because we do not want you to be humiliated [IDM], we are sending this information to you.
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, we suggest that you order/tell [your officials] to search the records that your ancestors made/wrote. [If you do that], you will find out that the people in this city have always rebelled [against the government]. You will also find out that from long ago these people have caused trouble for kings and for rulers of provinces. They have always revolted [against those who ruled them]. That is the reason that this city was destroyed [by the Babylonian army].
16 Xunga biz aliyliriƣa xuni uⱪturmaⱪqimizki, ǝgǝr bu xǝⱨǝr ⱪurulsa, sepilliri pütküzülsǝ, undaⱪta silining dǝryaning muxu tǝripidiki yǝrlǝrgǝ ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ igidarqiliⱪliri bolmay ⱪalidu».
We want you to know that if they rebuild this city and finish building its walls, you will no longer be able to control/rule [the people in] this province west of the Euphrates [River].”
17 Padixaⱨ mundaⱪ jawab yollidi: — «Waliy Rǝⱨum, diwan begi Ximxayƣa wǝ Samariyǝ ⱨǝm Dǝryaning xu tǝripidiki baxⱪa yǝrlǝrdǝ turuxluⱪ ⱨǝmraⱨliringlarƣa salam!
[After] the king [read this letter, he] sent this reply to them: “To Rehum, the high commissioner, and Shimshai, the provincial secretary, and their colleagues in Samaria and in other parts of the province that is west of the [Euphrates] River: I (send you my greetings/wish that things will go well for you).
18 Silǝrning bizgǝ yazƣan ǝrz hetinglar mening aldimda eniⱪ ⱪilip oⱪup berildi.
The letter that you sent to me was 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.
So then I ordered [my officials] to search the records. I have found out that [it is true that] the people of that city have always revolted against their rulers, and that the city is full of people who have rebelled and caused trouble.
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 in Jerusalem, and they have also ruled over the whole province west of the [Euphrates] River. [The people in that province were] paying all kinds of taxes to those kings.
21 Əmdi silǝr buyruⱪ qüxürüp u hǝlⱪni ixtin tohtitinglar, mǝndin baxⱪa yarliⱪ qüxürülmigüqǝ, bu xǝⱨǝrni yengiwaxtin ⱪurup qiⱪixⱪa bolmaydiƣanliⱪi uⱪturunglar.
So you must command that the people must stop rebuilding the city. Only if I tell them [that they may rebuild it] will they be allowed to continue.
22 Bu ixni ada ⱪilmay ⱪelixtin pǝhǝs bolunglar; padixaⱨlarƣa ziyan kǝltüridiƣan apǝt nemixⱪa küqiyiweridikǝn?».
Do this immediately [LIT], because I do not want those people to do anything to harm the things/area about which I am concerned.”
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.
[Messengers took] that letter to Rehum and Shimshai and their colleagues and read it to them. Then Rehum and the others went quickly to Jerusalem, and they forced the Jews to stop [rebuilding the city wall].
24 Xuning bilǝn Yerusalemdiki Hudaning ɵyidiki ixlar tohtidi; ix taki Pars padixaⱨi Darius tǝhtkǝ qiⱪip ikkinqi yiliƣiqǝ tohtaƣliⱪ ⱪaldi.
The result was that the Jews stopped rebuilding the temple. They did not do any more work to rebuild the temple until Darius became the King of Persia.
