¹Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.

¹Markaasaa Boqor Daariyus amar bixiyey, oo waa la baadhay gurigii buugagga taariikhda oo khasnadaha la dhigi jiray ee Baabuloon ku dhex yiil.

²There was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll, and therein was thus written for a record:

²Markaasaa magaalada Axmetaa la yidhaahdo oo ku tiil gobolka Maadi ayaa hoygii boqorka laga helay qorniin duudduuban, oo waxaa xusuus ugu qornaa wax sidan ah.

³In 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; its height sixty cubits, and its breadth sixty cubits;

³Sannaddii kowaad oo Boqor Kuuros ayaa Boqor Kuuros bixiyey amar ku saabsan guriga Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo wuxuu yidhi, Guriga ha la dhiso, kaasoo ah meeshii allabaryo lagu bixiyo, oo aasaaskiisana si adag ha loo dhigo, oo sarajooggiisu ha ahaado lixdan dhudhun, ballaadhkiisuna lixdan dhudhun;

⁴with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.

⁴oo ha lagu dhiso saddex saf oo dhagaxyo waaweyn ah iyo saf alwaax cusub ah; kharashkiisana ha laga bixiyo guriga boqorka.

⁵Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everyone to its place; and you shall put them in God’s house.

⁵Oo weliba weelashii guriga Ilaah oo ahaa dahabka iyo lacagta oo Nebukadnesar uu ka soo qaaday macbudka Yeruusaalem ku yaal, oo uu keenay Baabuloon, ha la celiyo, oo mar dambe ha la geeyo macbudka Yeruusaalem ku yaal, mid kastaba meeshiisii ha la dhigo, oo waxaad gelisaa guriga Ilaah.

⁶Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.

⁶Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Tatenay, oo ah taliyaha dalka webiga ka shisheeya, iyo Shetar Boosnay, iyo saaxiibbadiinna reer Afarsekaayee oo webiga shishadiisa joogow, idinku halkaas iskaga fogaada,

⁷Leave 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.

⁷oo gurigan Ilaah shuqulkiisa faraha ka qaada, oo taliyaha Yuhuudda iyo odayaasha Yuhuuddu gurigan Ilaah meeshiisii ha ka dhiseen.

⁸Moreover I make a decree what you shall do to 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 be given with all diligence to these men, that they be not hindered.

⁸Oo weliba waxaan amar ku bixiyey wixii aad u samayn lahaydeen odayaashan Yuhuudda oo dhisaya gurigan Ilaah. Waa in alaabta boqorka iyo xataa gabbarada laga qaado inta webiga ka shishaysa nimankan kharash loo siiyo iyadoo aad loogu dadaalayo, si aan iyaga loo hor joogsan innaba.

⁹That which they have need of, both young bulls, and 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;

⁹Oo wax alla wixii ay u baahan yihiin oo ay wadaaddada Yeruusaalem jooga idin weyddiistaan oo ah dibi yaryar, iyo wanan, iyo baraar, oo ay Ilaaha samada qurbaanno la gubo ugu bixiyaan, iyo sarreen, iyo cusbo, iyo khamri, iyo saliidba ha la siiyo maalin kasta, oo yaan laga baajin,

¹⁰that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

¹⁰inay iyagu Ilaaha samada u bixiyaan allabaryo caraf udgoon, oo ay u duceeyaan boqorka naftiisa iyo tan wiilashiisaba.

¹¹Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this:

¹¹Oo weliba waxaan kaloo amar ku bixiyey in ku alla kii eraygan beddela gurigiisa loox weyn laga bixiyo, oo inta la qotomiyo, isaga lagu deldelo, oo gurigiisana taas aawadeed ha laga dhigo taallo digo ah,

¹²and the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.

¹²oo Ilaahii magiciisa halkaas dejiyey ha afgembiyo boqorradii iyo dadkii gacantooda u soo fidiya inay amarkaas beddelaan si ay u dumiyaan gurigaas Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal. Anigoo Daariyus ah amar baan bixiyey, ee haddaba dadaal ha loo sameeyo.

¹³Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions, because Darius the king had sent a decree, did accordingly with all diligence.

¹³Wixii Boqor Daariyus u soo diray aawadiis ayay Tatenay oo ahaa taliyihii dalka webiga ka shisheeya, iyo Shetar Boosnay, iyo saaxiibbadoodba dadaal ku wada sameeyeen.

¹⁴The 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, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

¹⁴Oo duqowdii Yuhuudduna waxay wax ku dhiseen oo ku liibaaneen wax sii sheegiddii Nebi Xaggay iyo Sekaryaah oo ahaa ina Iddo. Oo iyagu macbudkii way dhiseen oo dhammeeyeen, sidii uu ahaa amarkii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, iyo sidii uu ahaa amarkii Kuuros, iyo Daariyus, iyo Artaxshasta oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris.

¹⁵This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

¹⁵Oo gurigaas dhismihiisii waxaa la dhammeeyey sannaddii lixaad oo dowladnimadii Boqor Daariyus bishii Adaar maalinteedii saddexaad.

¹⁶The children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.

¹⁶Oo reer binu Israa'iil, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo reer Laawi, iyo dadkii maxaabiista ka soo noqday intoodii kaleba gurigan Ilaah gaar bay uga dhigeen iyagoo faraxsan.

¹⁷They 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.

¹⁷Oo markay gurigan Ilaah gaar uga dhigayeen waxay u bixiyeen boqol dibi, iyo laba boqol oo wan, iyo afar boqol oo baraar ah; oo qurbaan dembina waxay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ugu bixiyeen laba iyo toban orgi intii ay ahaayeen tirada qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil.

¹⁸They 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.

¹⁸Oo sida kitaabkii Muuse ku qoran waxay wadaaddadii u qaybiyeen qaybahoodii, kuwii reer Laawina jagooyinkoodii, adeegidda Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem laga adeegayo aawadeed.

¹⁹The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

¹⁹Oo bishii kowaad maalinteedii afar iyo tobnaad ayaa dadkii maxaabiisnimada ka soo noqday waxay dhawreen Iiddii Kormaridda.

²⁰For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.

²⁰Waayo, wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi way iswada daahirsheen dhammaantood; oo giddigood daahir bay ahaayeen, markaasay neefkii Kormaridda u bireeyeen dadkii maxaabiisnimada ka soo noqday oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadii walaalahood ahaa, iyo naftoodiiba.

²¹The children of Israel who had come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate,

²¹Oo waxaa cunay reer binu Israa'iil oo maxaabiisnimada ka soo noqday, iyo in alla intii naftooda gooni uga soocday nijaastii dadkii dalka degganaa inay doondoonaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil,oo waxay toddoba maalmood farxad ku dhawreen Iiddii Kibista-aan-khamiirka-lahayn, waayo, Rabbigu aad buu uga farxiyey, oo wuxuu iyaga u soo jeediyey qalbigii boqorkii Ashuur inuu gacmahooda xoogeeyo intay ka shaqaynayeen gurigii Ilaah, kaasoo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.

²²and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yahweh 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’s house, the God of Israel.

²²oo waxay toddoba maalmood farxad ku dhawreen Iiddii Kibista-aan-khamiirka-lahayn, waayo, Rabbigu aad buu uga farxiyey, oo wuxuu iyaga u soo jeediyey qalbigii boqorkii Ashuur inuu gacmahooda xoogeeyo intay ka shaqaynayeen gurigii Ilaah, kaasoo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.
