1 H addaba 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.

Now the prophets, Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, Whose was upon them.

2 M arkaasaa 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.

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

3 O o 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?

Then Tattenai, governor on the west side of the River, and Shethar-bozenai and their companions came to them and said, Who authorized you to build this house and to restore this wall?

4 M arkaasaannu sidan kula hadalnay, oo ku nidhi, Nimanka dhismahan dhisaya magacyadooda maxaa la yidhaahdaa?

Then we told them the names of the men who were building this building.

5 L aakiinse 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.

But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so the enemy could not make them stop until the matter came before Darius and an answer was returned by letter concerning it.

6 T anu 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.

This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai, governor on this side of the River, and Shethar-bozenai and his associates, the Apharsachites who were on this side of the River, sent to Darius the king.

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

They wrote: To Darius the king: All peace.

8 B oqorow, 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.

Be it known to the king that we went to the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. It is being built with huge stones, with timber laid in the walls; this work goes on with diligence and care and prospers in their hands.

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

Then we asked those elders, Who authorized you to build this house and restore these walls?

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

We asked their names also, that we might record the names of the men at their head and notify you.

11 O o 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.

They replied, We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, rebuilding the house which was erected and finished many years ago by a great king of Israel.

12 L aakiinse 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.

But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.

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

But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, the same King Cyrus made a decree to rebuild this house of God.

14 O o 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;

And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon and delivered to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

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

And King Cyrus said to him, Go, take these vessels to Jerusalem and carry them into the temple, and let the house of God be built upon its site.

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

Then came this Sheshbazzar and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem; and since that time until now it has been in the process of being rebuilt and is not completed yet.

17 H addaba 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.

So now, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the royal archives there in Babylon to see if it is true that King Cyrus issued a decree to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send us his pleasure in this matter.
