< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
Kana irratti Daariyoos Mootichi ajaja kenne; isaanis galmeewwan mana galmee Baabilon keessatti kuufaman sana ni sakattaʼan.
2 A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
Kitaabni maramaan tokkos Ahimetaa magaalaa guddaa kutaa biyyaa Meedee keessatti argame; kitaaba sana irrattis akkana jedhamee barreeffamee ture: Yaadachiisa:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
Waggaa tokkoffaa bara mootummaa Qiiros Mootichaa keessa mootichi waaʼee mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanaa akkana jedhee labsii baase: Manni qulqullummaa kun iddoo aarsaan itti dhiʼeeffamu taʼee deebifamee haa ijaaramu; hundeen isaas haa buufamu. Manni kunis ol dheerina dhundhuma jaatamaa fi balʼina dhundhuma jaatama qabaatee
4 with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
dhagaa gurguddaa toora sadii sadii fi muka toora tokko tokkoon haa ijaaramu. Baasiin hundinuus qabeenya mootummaa keessaa baafamuu qaba.
5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
Akkasumas miʼi warqee fi meetii mana Waaqaa kan Nebukadnezar mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessaatii Baabilonitti fide sun iddoo isaanitti jechuunis mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalemitti deebifamanii mana Waaqaa keessa kuufamu qabu.
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
Egaa ati Taatenaayi bulchaan Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi isin michoota isaanii qondaaltonni kutaa biyya sanaa achii fagaadhaa.
7 Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
Isin hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kana keessa hin seeninaa. Bulchaan Yihuudootaa fi maanguddoonni Yihuudootaa mana Waaqaa kana iddoo isaatti deebisanii haa ijaaran.
8 Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
Kana irratti ani waan isin ijaarsa mana Waaqaa kana keessatti maanguddoota Yihuudootaa kanneeniif gochuu qabdan kunoo nan labsa: Akka hojiin hin dhaabanneef baasiin namoota kanaa guutumaan guutuutti qabeenya mootummaa irraa jechuunis gibira Gama Laga Efraaxiisii walitti qabamu keessaa haa baafamu.
9 That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
Wanni barbaachisu kam iyyuu jechuunis jiboonni, korbeeyyiinii fi xobbaallaawwan hoolaa Waaqa samiitiif aarsaa gubamu taʼanii dhiʼeeffaman, akkasumas qamadiin, soogiddi, daadhiin wayinii fi zayitiin akkuma luboonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan barbaadanitti utuu gargar hin citin guyyaa guyyaadhaan isaaniif kennamuu qabu;
10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
kunis akka isaan aarsaa Waaqa samiitti tolu dhiʼeessanii fi akka isaan jireenya mootichaa fi ilmaan isaatiif Waaqa kadhataniifii dha.
11 I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Kana caalaa iyyuu yoo namni kam iyyuu ajaja kana dide, ani akka utubaan mana isaa keessaa buqqifamee inni irratti fannifamu labsii kana labseera. Sababii yakka kanaatiif manni isaa tuulaa kosii ni taʼa.
12 May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
Waaqni inni akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatu godhe sun mootii yookaan saba labsii kana geeddaruuf yookaan mana qulqullummaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa barbadeessuuf harka ol fudhatu kam iyyuu haa balleessu. Ani Daariyoos labsii kana labseera. Wanni kunis ariitiidhaan hojii irra haa oolu.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
Ergasii Taatenaayi bulchaan biyya Gama Laga Efraaxiis, Satarbuznaayii fi michoonni isaanii akkuma Daariyoos Mootichi labsetti labsii sana ariitiidhaan hojii irra ni oolchan.
14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Kanaafuu maanguddoonni Yihuudootaa lallaba Haagee raajichaatii fi Zakkaariyaas ilma Iddootiin ijaarsa itti fufan; hojiinis ni milkaaʼeef. Isaanis akkuma ajaja Waaqa Israaʼelii fi akkuma labsiiwwan Qiiros, Daariyoosii fi Arxeksis mootota Faaresitti ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa sana ni xumuran.
15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Manni qulqullummaa sunis waggaa jaʼaffaa bara Daariyoos Mootichaa keessa, bultii sadaffaa jiʼa Adaaritti ijaaramee dhume.
16 The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Ergasii sabni Israaʼel jechuunis luboonni, Lewwonnii fi boojiʼamtoonni hafan ayyaana eebba mana Waaqaa gammachuudhaan ayyaaneffatan.
17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Eebba mana Waaqaa kanaafis jiboota dhibba tokko, korbeeyyii hoolaa dhibba lamaa fi xobbaallaa hoolaa dhibba afur kennan; sababii cubbuu Israaʼel hundaaf immoo korbeeyyii reʼee kudha lama jechuunis tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼeliif reʼee tokko tokko dhiʼeessan.
18 They set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ergasii immoo akkuma Kitaaba Musee keessatti barreeffametti tajaajila mana Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa sanaaf luboota kutaa kutaa isaanitti, Lewwota immoo garee garee isaaniitti ramadan.
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Boojiʼamtoonnis guyyaa kudha afuraffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti Faasiikaa ni ayyaaneffatan.
20 Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Luboonnii fi Lewwonni of qulqulleessanii hundi isaanii akka seeraatti ni qulqullaaʼan. Lewwonni warra boojiʼaman hundaaf, obboloota isaanii lubootaa fi ofii isaaniif hoolaa Faasiikaa qalan.
21 The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, ate,
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni boojuudhaa deebiʼan namoota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel barbaaduudhaaf hojii xuraaʼummaa kan Namoota Ormaa kanneen ollaa isaanii jiraatan sanaa lagatan hunda wajjin Faasiikaa sana ni nyaatan.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.
Sababii Waaqayyo akka inni hojii ijaarsa mana Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel keessatti isaan gargaaruudhaaf yaada mootii Asoor geeddaruudhaan gammachuudhaan isaan guuteef isaan bultii torba guutuu Ayyaana Maxinoo Buddeena gammachuudhaan ayyaaneffatan.
