6 — Əzra degǝn bu kixi Babildin ⱪaytip qiⱪti. U Israilning Hudasi Pǝrwǝrdigar Musaƣa nazil ⱪilƣan Tǝwrat ⱪanuniƣa pixⱪan tǝwratxunas idi; uning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱪoli uningda bolƣaqⱪa, u nemini tǝlǝp ⱪilsa padixaⱨ xuni bǝrgǝnidi.
I am a man who knows very well the laws that Moses [wrote]. Those were the laws that Yahweh, the God whom we Israeli people ([worship/belong to]), had given to us Israeli people. When I arrived in Jerusalem, Yahweh my God was kind to me, and as a result the [people] gave me everything that I had requested the king to [tell them to] give to me.
7 Padixaⱨ Artahxaxtaning yǝttinqi yili bir ⱪisim Israillar, kaⱨinlar, Lawiylar, ƣǝzǝlkǝxlǝr, dǝrwaziwǝnlǝr wǝ ibadǝthana hizmǝtkarliri uning bilǝn birliktǝ Yerusalemƣa ⱪaytip qiⱪti.
Some of the priests, some [other] descendants of Levi, [some] singers, [some] (gatekeepers/men who guarded the gates of the temple), and [some] men who worked in the temple, and some other [Israeli] people came up with me here to Jerusalem. That was during the seventh year that Artaxerxes was the king [of Persia].
8 [Əzra] ǝmdi padixaⱨning sǝltǝnitining yǝttinqi yili bǝxinqi ayda Yerusalemƣa yetip kǝldi.
We left Babylon on April 8, which was the first day of the Jewish year. Because God was very kind to us, we arrived [safely] in Jerusalem on August 4 of that year.
9 Birinqi ayning birinqi küni u Babildin qiⱪixⱪa tǝyyarlandi; Hudaning xǝpⱪǝtlik ⱪoli uningda bolƣaqⱪa, u bǝxinqi ayning birinqi küni Yerusalemƣa yetip kǝldi.
10 Qünki Əzra kɵngül ⱪoyup Pǝrwǝrdigarning Tǝwrat-ⱪanunini qüxinip tǝⱨsil ⱪilixⱪa ⱨǝm uningƣa ǝmǝl ⱪilixⱪa wǝ xuningdǝk Israil iqidǝ uningdiki ⱨɵküm-bǝlgilimilǝrni ɵgitixkǝ niyǝt ⱪilƣanidi.
During my entire life, I devoted myself to studying the laws of Yahweh, and how to obey those laws. I had also taught those laws and all their regulations to the Israeli people [for many years].
11 Mana bu padixaⱨ Artahxaxta kaⱨin ⱨǝm Tǝwratxunas Əzraƣa tapxurƣan yarliⱪ hetining kɵqürülmisi: — (Əzra Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝmrlirigǝ ait ixlarƣa ⱨǝm Uning Israillarƣa tapxurƣan bǝlgilimilirigǝ pixⱪan tǝwratxunas idi): —
King Artaxerxes [knew that] I am a priest who knows the Jewish laws very well. [He knew that for many years] I had studied those laws and had taught all the rules and regulations of those laws to the Israeli people. [So before I left Babylon to come to Jerusalem, ] he wrote a letter, and gave a copy to me. [This is what he wrote]:
12 «Mǝnki padixaⱨlarning padixaⱨi Artahxaxtadin asmanlardiki Hudaning mukǝmmǝl Tǝwrat-ⱪanuniƣa pixⱪan tǝwratxunas kaⱨin Əzraƣa salam!
[“This letter is] from me, Artaxerxes, the greatest of the kings. [I am giving it] to Ezra the priest, who has studied very well all the rules and regulations that the God [who is/rules] in heaven [gave to the Israeli people].
13 Əmdi mǝn xundaⱪ yarliⱪ qüxürimǝnki, padixaⱨliⱪimda turuwatⱪan Israillardin, xundaⱪla ularning kaⱨin wǝ Lawiyliridin kimlǝr Yerusalemƣa berixni halisa, ⱨǝmmisi sening bilǝn billǝ barsa bolidu.
“Ezra, I command that when you return to Jerusalem, any of the Israeli people in my kingdom who want to are allowed to go with you. That includes any priests and [other] descendants of Levi [who will work in the temple] who want to go.
14 Qünki sǝn padixaⱨ wǝ uning yǝttǝ mǝsliⱨǝtqisi tǝripidin tǝyinlǝngǝn ikǝnsǝn, ⱪolungdiki Hudaning ⱪanun kitabida eytilƣanliri boyiqǝ, Yǝⱨudiyǝ wǝ Yerusalemƣa tǝkxürüx-ⱨal soraxⱪa ǝwǝtilgǝnsǝn.
I, along with my seven counselors/advisors, am sending you to Jerusalem, in order that you can determine what is happening there and in [other towns in] Judah. You are taking with you [MTY] a copy of God’s laws; make sure that the people are doing everything that is written in those laws.
15 Sǝn padixaⱨ wǝ uning mǝsliⱨǝtqiliri ɵz ihtiyari bilǝn Israilning Hudasiƣa sunƣan altun-kümüxlǝrni kɵtürüp berip uningƣa tǝⱪdim ⱪil (uning makani Yerusalemdidur);
[We are also saying that] you should take with you the silver and gold that I and my advisors are wanting to give to you, in order that you will present it to be an offering to the God who [rules] the Israeli people and who lives in Jerusalem.
16 Xuningdǝk ⱪolung pütkül Babil ɵlkisidǝ ⱪanqilik altun-kümüxlǝrni tapalisa, xuni hǝlⱪ wǝ kaⱨinlar Yerusalemdiki Hudaning ɵyigǝ tǝⱪdim ⱪilixⱪa ɵz ihtiyari bilǝn bǝrgǝn sowƣatlarƣa ⱪoxup aparƣin.
You should also take any silver and gold that the people in the entire Babylonia province give to you, and the money that the priests and [other] Israeli people have happily said that they would give to you to be offerings for building the temple of their God in Jerusalem.
17 Sǝn bu pullarƣa eⱨtiyatqanliⱪ bilǝn ⱪurbanliⱪlar üqün torpaⱪ, ⱪoqⱪar, ⱪoza wǝ ⱪoxumqǝ axliⱪ ⱨǝdiyǝliri ⱨǝm xarab ⱨǝdiyǝliri setiwelip, bularni Yerusalemdiki Hudayinglarning ɵyidiki ⱪurbangaⱨⱪa sunƣin.
With this money, you should buy the bulls, rams, lambs, and the grain and wine that the priests will burn on the altar [outside] the temple of your God in Jerusalem.
18 Ⱪalƣan altun-kümüxlǝrni sǝn wǝ jǝmǝtingdikilǝrgǝ ⱪandaⱪ ⱪilix muwapiⱪ kɵrünsǝ, Hudayinglarning iradisi boyiqǝ xundaⱪ ⱪilinglar.
“If there is any silver or gold that remains [you have bought all those things], you and your companions/colleagues are permitted to use it to [buy] whatever you desire, but buy only things that [you know that] God wants you to buy.
19 Sening Hudayingning ɵyidiki ixlarƣa ixlitixkǝ sanga bǝrgǝn ⱪaqa-ⱪuqilarni Yerusalemdiki Hudaning aldiƣa ⱪoy.
We have given to you some valuable items to be used in the temple of your God. Take them also to Jerusalem.
20 Əgǝr xuningdǝk sanga Hudayingning ɵyidiki ⱪalƣan ixlarƣa qiⱪim ⱪilidiƣanƣa nemǝ hirajǝt kerǝk bolsa, sǝn padixaⱨ hǝzinisidin elip ixlǝtkin.
If you need any other things for the temple, you are permitted to get the money for those things from the building here where my government’s money is kept/stored.
21 Xuning bilǝn mǝnki padixaⱨ Artahxaxtadin dǝryaning xu ƣǝrb tǝripidiki barliⱪ hǝzinǝ bǝglirigǝ xundaⱪ buyruⱪ qüxürimǝnki, asmandiki Hudaning Tǝwrat-ⱪanunining alimi bolƣan kaⱨin Əzra silǝrdin nemini tǝlǝp ⱪilsa, silǝr ǝstayidilliⱪ bilǝn uning deginidǝk bejiringlar.
“And I, King Artaxerxes, command this to all the treasurers in the province west of the [Euphrates] River: 'Give to Ezra, the priest who has studied very well the laws of the God [who is/rules] in heaven, everything that he requests, and give it to him quickly.
22 Uning alidiƣini kümüx yüz talantⱪiqǝ, buƣday yüz korƣiqǝ, xarab yüz batⱪiqǝ, zǝytun meyi yüz batⱪiqǝ bolsun, tuzƣa qǝk ⱪoyulmisun.
The most that you should give to him is (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.) of silver, 500 bushels of wheat, 550 gallons of wine, and 550 gallons of [olive] oil, but give to him all the salt that they need.
23 Asmanlardiki Huda nemini ǝmr ⱪilsa, xu asmanlardiki Hudaning ɵyi üqün ǝstayidilliⱪ bilǝn bejirilsun; nemixⱪa [Hudaning] ƣǝzipini padixaⱨ wǝ oƣullirining padixaⱨliⱪiƣa qüxürgüdǝkmiz?
Be sure that you provide whatever their God requires for his temple, because we certainly do not [RHQ] want him to be angry with me or with my descendants who will later be kings.
24 Biz xunimu silǝrgǝ mǝlum ⱪilimizki, omumǝn kaⱨinlar, Lawiylar, ƣǝzǝlkǝxlǝr, dǝrwaziwǝnlǝr, ibadǝthana hizmǝtkarliri wǝ Hudaning bu ɵyidǝ hizmǝt ⱪilidiƣanlarning ⱨeqⱪaysisidin baj, olpan wǝ paraⱪ elixⱪa bolmaydu.
We are also commanding that none of the priests, descendants of Levi, musicians, temple guards, or other men who work in the temple, will be required to pay any kind of taxes.'
25 Əmdi sǝn ǝy Əzra, Hudayingning sǝndǝ bolƣan ⱨekmitigǝ asasǝn, Dǝryaning xu ƣǝrb tǝripidǝ Hudayingning Tǝwrat-ⱪanunini bilgǝn, barliⱪ hǝlⱪning dǝwasini soraydiƣan, ularni idarǝ ⱪilidiƣan soraⱪqi wǝ ⱨakimlarni tǝyinligin; wǝ Tǝwrat-ⱪanunini bilmǝydiƣanlarƣa bolsa, ularƣa bularni ɵgitinglar.
“Ezra, your God has enabled you to become very wise. Using that wisdom, appoint men in the province west of the [Euphrates] River who will judge cases involving the people, and men who will judge cases involving the government. You must appoint men who know the laws of your God. All of you must teach God’s laws to others who do not know them.
26 Hudayingning ⱪanuniƣa wǝ padixaⱨliⱪning ⱪanuniƣa riayǝ ⱪilmaydiƣanlar bolsa, uning üstidin adalǝtlik bilǝn ⱨɵküm qiⱪirilsun; u ɵlümgǝ, yaki sürgüngǝ yaki mal-mülkini musadirǝ ⱪilixⱪa wǝ yaki zindanƣa taxlaxⱪa ⱨɵküm ⱪilinsun».
Everyone who does not obey God’s laws or the laws of my government must be punished severely. Some of them will be executed, some will be put in prison, some will be sent out of the country or have all their property taken away from them.”
27 [Əzra mundaⱪ dedi] — Ata-bowilirimizning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa Ⱨǝmdusana bolƣay! Qünki U padixaⱨning kɵngligǝ, Yerusalemdiki Pǝrwǝrdigarning ɵyini xundaⱪ kɵrkǝm bezǝx niyitini saldi,
[Because King Artaxerxes was very kind like that, I said], “Praise Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped/belonged to]! He has caused the king to want to honor the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem.
28 yǝnǝ meni padixaⱨ wǝ mǝsliⱨǝtqiliri aldida ⱨǝm padixaⱨning mɵⱨtǝrǝm ǝmirliri aldida iltipatⱪa erixtürdi. Pǝrwǝrdigar Hudayimning ⱪoli mǝndǝ bolup, U meni ƣǝyrǝtlǝndürgǝqkǝ, ɵzüm bilǝn billǝ [Yerusalemƣa] qiⱪixⱪa Israillar iqidin birnǝqqǝ mɵtiwǝrlǝrni yiƣdim.
Because God was very kind to me, the king and all his advisors and all his powerful officials have also been kind to me. So, because God has helped me, I have become encouraged, and I have [been able to] persuade some of the Israeli leaders to go up to Jerusalem with me.”
