Anigoo ah Artaxshasta boqorkii boqorrada, waxaan u qorayaa wadaadkii Cesraa oo ah karraanigii sharciga Ilaaha samada ee kaamil ah, iyo wax la mid ah. Salaan

13 I issue a decree that all those of the people of Israel and the priests and Levites in my realm, who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you.

Waxaan amar ku bixinayaa in dadka reer binu Israa'iil, iyo wadaaddadooda, iyo reer Laawi, inta boqortooyadayda ku jirta, ee ikhtiyaarkooda u doonaya inay Yeruusaalem tagaan, ay dhammaan ku raacaan.

14 A nd whereas you are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, with regard to the Law of your God which is in your hand;

Waxaa ku soo diray boqorkii iyo toddobadiisii lataliye inaad soo warsatid Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, sida waafaqsan sharciga Ilaahaaga oo gacantaada ku jira,

15 a nd whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem;

17 n ow therefore, be careful to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.

21 A nd I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the region beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, let it be done diligently,

Oo weliba anigoo ah Boqor Artaxshasta waxaan amar ku siinayaa khasnajiyada webiga shishadiisa jooga oo dhan, in dadaal lagu sameeyo wax alla wixii uu idin weyddiisto wadaadka Cesraa oo ah karraaniga sharciga Ilaaha samada,

22 u p to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred kors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribed limit.

intii ku siman boqol talanti oo lacag ah, iyo boqol kor oo sarreen ah, iyo boqol bad oo khamri ah, iyo boqol bad oo saliid ah, iyo cusbo aan la xisaabin intay tahay.

23 W hatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it diligently be done for the house of the God of heaven. For why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

Haddaba wax alla wixii Ilaaha samadu uu amro saas dadaal ha loogu sameeyo guriga Ilaaha samada aawadiis, waayo, bal maxay cadho ugu dhacaysaa boqortooyada boqorka iyo wiilashiisa?

24 A lso we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tax, tribute, or custom on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God.

25 A nd you, Ezra, according to your God-given wisdom, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are in the region beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach those who do not know them.

Oo adigoo Cesraa ahu xigmadda Ilaahaagu ku siiyey ku dooro xaakinno iyo qaadiyo u garsoora dadka webiga ka shisheeya oo dhan, in alla inta taqaan sharciyada Ilaahaaga, oo kii aan aqoonna bara.

26 W hoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.

Oo ku alla kii aan addeecin sharciga Ilaahaaga iyo sharciga boqorka, xukun ha lagu soo dejiyo, iyadoo aad loogu dadaalayo, hadday tahay in la dilo, ama in la masaafuriyo, ama in xoolihiisa lagala wareego, amase in la xidho.

27 B lessed be the Lord God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem,

Waxaa ammaan leh Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashayo, oo boqorka qalbigiisa geliyey wax sidanoo kale ah, inuu ku qurxiyo guriga Rabbiga oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal,

28 a nd has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as the hand of the Lord my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.

oo naxariis iga siiyey boqorkii, iyo lataliyayaashiisa, iyo amiirradiisa xoogga badan hortooda oo dhan. Oo waxaan u xoogaystay sidii gacanta Rabbiga Ilaahayga ahu ii saarnayd, markaasaan reer binu Israa'iil ka dhex urursaday rag madax ah inay i raacaan.
