1 T hen the prophet Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

Haddaba nebiyadii ahaa Nebi Xaggay, iyo Sekaryaah ina Iddo ayaa wax u sii sheegay Yuhuuddii degganayd Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, oo magaca Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayay wax ugu sii sheegeen.

2 S o Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

Markaasaa waxaa kacay Serubaabel oo ahaa ina Salaatii'eel, iyo Yeeshuuca oo ahaa ina Yoosaadaaq, oo waxay bilaabeen inay dhisaan gurigii Ilaah oo ku yaal Yeruusaalem; oo waxaa iyaga la jiray oo caawinayay nebiyadii Ilaah.

3 A t the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: “Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?”

Oo isla markaasba waxaa u yimid Tatenay oo ahaa taliyihii dalka webiga ka shisheeya, iyo Shetar Boosnay iyo saaxiibbadood, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War yaa amar idin siiyey inaad gurigan dhistaan, iyo inaad derbigan dhammaysaan?

4 T hen, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building.

Markaasaannu sidan kula hadalnay, oo ku nidhi, Nimanka dhismahan dhisaya magacyadooda maxaa la yidhaahdaa?

5 B ut the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a written answer was returned concerning this matter.

Laakiinse duqowdii Yuhuudda waxaa isha ku hayay Ilaahooda, oo iyana shuqulkii ma ay joojin ilaa xaalku soo gaadho Daariyus, oo warqad jawaab ah ee taas ku saabsan loo soo celiyo.

6 T his is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent: The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, and his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.

Tanu waa naqilkii warqaddii Tatenay oo ahaa taliyihii dalka webiga ka shisheeya, iyo Shetar Boosnay, iyo saaxiibbadiis oo ahaa reer Afarsekaayee oo webiga shishadiisa joogay ay u soo direen boqorkii Daariyus.

7 ( They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus) To Darius the king: All peace.

Warqad bay u direen, oo waxaa ku qornaa wax sidan ah: Boqor Daariyusow, nabadi korkaaga ha ahaato.

8 L et it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the temple of the great God, which is being built with heavy stones, and timber is being laid in the walls; and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.

Boqorow, bal ogow inaannu tagnay gobolka Yahuudah, oo soo aragnay gurigii Ilaaha weyn, oo dhagaxyo waaweyn lagu dhisay, oo derbiyadiisana alwaax la dhex geliyey, oo shuqulkaasuna dadaal buu ku socdaa oo gacmahooduu ku liibaanaa.

9 T hen we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: “Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?”

Oo waxaannu duqowdaas weyddiinnay oo ku nidhi, Yaa idin siiyey amar aad gurigan ku dhistaan, oo aad derbigan ku dhammaysaan?

10 W e also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.

Oo haddana waxaannu kaloo weyddiinnay magacyadoodii, si aan kuu ogeysiinno, iyo si aan kuugu soo qorno nimanka madaxdooda ah magacyadooda.

11 A nd thus they returned us an answer, saying: “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and completed.

Oo iyana sidanay jawaab noogu soo celiyeen oo yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu nahay addoommadii Ilaaha samada iyo dhulka, oo waxaannu dhisaynaa gurigan oo sannado badan oo hore la dhisay, oo boqor weyn oo reer binu Israa'iil ahu uu dhisay oo dhammeeyey.

12 B ut because our fathers provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and carried the people away to Babylon.

Laakiinse awowayaashayadii waxay ka xanaajiyeen Ilaaha samada, oo taas daraaddeed ayuu ugu riday gacantii Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, kii reer Kaldayiin oo gurigan dumiyey oo dadkiina Baabuloon u kaxaystay.

13 H owever, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this house of God.

Laakiinse Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon sannaddiisii kowaad ayaa Boqor Kuuros bixiyey amar lagu dhiso gurigan Ilaah.

14 A lso, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon—those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

Oo weliba weelashii dahabka iyo lacagta ahaa ee gurigii Ilaah oo uu Nebukadnesar ka qaaday macbudkii Yeruusaalem ku yiil oo uu geeyey macbudkii Baabuloon, kuwaas boqor Kuuros wuu ka soo bixiyey macbudkii Baabuloon, oo waxaa loo soo dhiibay mid magiciisa la odhan jiray Sheeshbasar, oo uu isagu taliye ka dhigay;

15 A nd he said to him, ‘Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.’

oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Tag oo weelashan qaad, oo waxaad gelisaa macbudka Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo gurigii Ilaahna ha laga dhiso meeshiisii.

16 T hen the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been under construction, and it is not finished.”

Markaasaa Sheeshbasarkii yimid, oo wuxuu dhigay aasaaskii guriga Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo tan iyo waagaas waa la dhisayay, laakiinse weli lama dhammaystirin.

17 N ow therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there in Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his pleasure concerning this matter.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, haddii ay kula wanaagsan tahay, boqorow, bal ha la baadho gurigaaga khasnadda ah oo Baabuloon ku yaal, bal inay saas tahay in Boqor Kuuros amar ku bixiyey in la dhiso gurigan Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo noo soo dir wixii aad xaalkan ka damacsan tahay.
