2 Tsono anapita kwa Zerubabeli ndi kwa atsogoleri a mabanja awo ndi kunena kuti, “Mutilole kuti tikuthandizeni kumangaku chifukwa ife timapembedza Mulungu wanu monga momwe mumachitira inu, ndipo takhala tikupereka nsembe kwa Iye kuyambira nthawi ya Esrahadoni, mfumu ya ku Asiriya, amene anabwera nafe kuno.”
Naʻa nau haʻu ai kia Selupepeli, pea ki he kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻonau pehē kiate kinautolu, “Tuku ke mau langa mo kimoutolu: he ʻoku mau kumi ki homou ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu; pea kuo mau feilaulau kiate ia talu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Esahatoni ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki heni.”
3 Koma Zerubabeli, Yesuwa ndi atsogoleri ena otsala a mabanja a Aisraeli anayankha kuti, “Inu simungatithandize kumangira Nyumba Yehova, Mulungu wathu. Tokha tidzamumangira Nyumba Yehova, Mulungu wa Aisraeli, monga mfumu Koresi, mfumu ya Perisiya inatilamulira.”
Ka naʻe lea ʻa Selupepeli, mo Sesua, mo hono toe ʻoe kau mātuʻa tuʻukimuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou kau siʻi mo kimautolu ʻi he langa ʻae fale ki homau ʻOtua; ka temau fai fakataha ʻekimautolu pe ʻae langa fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi ko Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia kiate kimautolu.”
4 Tsono anthu a mʼdzikomo anayamba kuchititsa ulesi anthu a ku Yuda, ndi kuwachititsa mantha kuti aleke ntchito yomangayo.
Pea naʻe toki fakavaivai ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻae nima ʻoe kakai ʻo Siuta, ʻo fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he langa fale,
5 Analemba alangizi ena kuti alepheretse cholinga chawo pa ntchitoyo pa nthawi yonse ya Koresi, mfumu ya ku Perisiya, ndiponso mpaka pamene Dariyo mfumu ya ku Perisiya ankalamulira dzikolo.
Pea naʻa nau totongi ki he kau fakakaukau ke taʻofi kiate kinautolu, mo fakataʻeʻaonga ʻenau tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, ʻo hoko mo e pule ʻa Talaiasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
6 Mfumu Ahasiwero atangoyamba kulamulira dzikolo, adani aja analemba kalata yoneneza anthu a Yuda ndi Yerusalemu.
Pea ʻi he pule ʻa ʻAhasivelo, ʻi hono kamataʻanga ʻo ʻene pule, naʻa nau tohi kiate ia ʻae tohi talakoviʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema.
7 Ndiponso mʼnthawi ya Aritasasita mfumu ya Perisiya, Bisilamu, Mitiredati, Tabeeli ndi anzawo ena analemba kalata inanso kwa Aritasasita. Kalatayo inalembedwa mʼChiaramu ndipo ankatanthauzira poyiwerenga.
Pea naʻe tohi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAtakisekisi ʻe Pisilami, mo Mitilitati mo Tapeli, mo hono toe ʻo ʻenau kaumeʻa, kia ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia; pea naʻe fai ʻae tohi ʻi he lea fakaSilia, pea naʻe fakamatala ia ʻi he lea fakaSilia.
8 Rehumu mkulu wankhondo ndi Simisai mlembi, nawonso analemba kalata yawo yoneneza anthu a ku Yerusalemu kwa mfumu Aritasasita. Anayilemba motere:
Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻeiki fakamaau ko Lihumi mo Simisai ko e tangata tohi ʻae tohi fakakoviʻi ʻo Selūsalema kia ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi ʻo pehē:
9 Kalata yochokera kwa Rehumu, mkulu wa gulu lankhondo, mlembi Simisai ndi anzawo awa: oweruza, nduna, akuluakulu ena, anthu a ku Peresiya, Ereki, Babuloni, Susa mʼdziko la Elamu,
“Pea naʻe tohi ai ʻe Lihumi ko e ʻeiki fakamaau mo Simisai ko e tangata tohi, mo hono toe ʻo ʻenau kaumeʻa: ko e kau Tinaie mo e kau ʻAfasatikai, ko e kau Tapilai mo e kau ʻAfalisai, ko e kau ʻAkivi, mo e kau Papilone, mo e kau Susa, mo e kau Tehavi, mo e kau ʻElami,
10 ndi mitundu ina imene mkulu wolemekezeka, Osanipara anayisamutsa ndi kuyikhazika mʼmizinda ya Samariya ndi mʼmadera ena apatsidya la Yufurate.
Mo hono toe ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he ʻeiki lahi mo ongolelei ko ʻAsinapa, pea tuku ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia, mo hono toe ʻoku ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe, pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia.”
11 Mawu a mʼkalata ya kwa Aritasasita anali awa: Kwa mfumu Aritasasita: Kuchokera kwa atumiki anu, anthu a kutsidya kwa Yufurate:
Ko hono hiki eni ʻoe tohi ʻaia naʻa nau ʻave kiate ia, “ʻio, kia ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi: “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau tangata ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe, pea ʻi he kuonga ko eni.
12 Amfumu tati mudziwe kuti Ayuda amene anabwera kuno kuchokera kwanuko apita ku Yerusalemu ndipo akumanganso mzinda wa anthu owukira ndi oyipa uja. Akumaliza makoma ake ndipo akukonzanso maziko.
Ke ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻalu hake meiate koe kiate kimautolu kuo nau hoko ki Selūsalema, pea ʻoku nau langa ʻae kolo angakovi moʻo faʻa angatuʻu, pea kuo nau fokotuʻu hake hono ngaahi ʻā maka, pea kuo nau fakahoko hono ngaahi tuʻunga.
13 Kuwonjeza apo amfumu mudziwe kuti ngati amalize kumanganso mzindawu ndi kukonzanso makoma ake, adzaleka kukhoma msonkho, kulipira ndalama zakatundu olowa mʼdziko kapena msonkho wina uliwonse, ndipo chuma cha thumba la ufumu chidzachepa.
Ko eni ke ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi, kapau ʻe langa ʻae kolo ni, pea toe fokotuʻu ʻa hono ngaahi ʻā maka, ʻe ʻikai te nau kei totongi, pea tukuhau, pe totongi fakatau, pea te ke maumau ai ʻae tukuhau ki he ngaahi tuʻi.
14 Popeza tsono ife timadya nawo kwa mfumu sitiyenera tizingoonerera zinthu zochititsa mfumu manyazi. Nʼchifukwa chake tikutumiza uthenga kwa inu a mfumu kuti mudziwe zonse.
Pea ko eni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻemau maʻu homau tokoni mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻikai taau mo kimautolu ke mamata ki he fakaongokovi ʻoe tuʻi, ko ia kuo mau fekau ai ʻo fakahā ia ki he tuʻi;
15 Choncho pachitike kafukufuku mʼbuku la mbiri yakale ya makolo anu. Mʼbuku la mbiri zakale mudzapezamo ndi kuwerenga kuti mzinda umenewu ndi waupandu, wosautsa mafumu ndi nduna zamʼmadera zomwe. Kuyambira kale wakhala ukuwukira ulamuliro uliwonse. Nʼchifukwa chake mzinda umenewu anawuwononga.
Koeʻuhi ke fai ʻae kumi ʻi he tohi fakamanatu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tamai: ko ia te ke ʻilo ai ʻi he tohi ʻoe tohi fakamanatu, mo ke ʻilo ko e kolo ni ko e kolo angatuʻu, pea kovi ki he ngaahi tuʻi mo e ngaahi fonua, pea naʻa nau langaʻi ʻae angatuʻu ʻi ai ʻi muʻa: ko e meʻa ko ia naʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻae kolo ni.
16 Tsono tikukudziwitsani amfumu kuti ngati mzinda umenewu umangidwanso ndi makoma ake nʼkutsirizidwanso ndiye kuti inu simudzalamuliranso chigawo cha patsidya pa Yufurate.
ʻOku mau fakapapau ki he tuʻi, kapau ʻe toe langa ʻae kolo ni, pea fokotuʻu hono ʻā maka, ko e meʻa ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ai ha tofiʻa ʻi he potu kauvai ni ʻoe vaitafe.”
17 Mfumu inatumiza yankho ili: Mkulu wa gulu lankhondo Rehumu, mlembi Simisai ndi anzanu onse amene akukhala ku Samariya ndi mʼzigawo zina zonse za Patsidya pa Yufurate. Landirani moni.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono tali kia Lihumi ko e ʻeiki fakamaau, mo Simisai ko e tangata tohi, pea ki hono toe ʻo ʻenau kaumeʻa naʻe nofo ʻi Samēlia, pea ko hono toe naʻe nofo ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe, [ʻo pehē], “Mou fiemālie pe ʻi he kuonga ni.
18 Kalata imene munatumiza ija yawerengedwa bwino lomwe pamaso panga.
“Ko e tohi naʻa mou fai ʻo ʻomi kiate au naʻe lau totonu ia ʻi hoku ʻao.
19 Ine nditalamula kuti afufuze nkhaniyi kwapezekadi kuti mzinda umenewu uli ndi mbiri yowukira mafumu ndi kuti zaupandu ndi zowukira zinkachitikadi mʼmenemo.
Pea ne u fekau, pea naʻe fai ʻae kumi, pea kuo ʻilo ko e kolo ni naʻe fai ʻae angatuʻu ʻi muʻa ki he ngaahi tuʻi, pea naʻe fai ʻi ai ʻae angatuʻu mo e angakovi.
20 Mafumu amphamvu akhala akulamulira Yerusalemu ndi chigawo chonse cha Patsidya pa Yufurate. Iwo ankalandira msonkho ndi kulipira ndalama zakatundu olowa mʼdziko pa kanthu kena kalikonse.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻi muʻa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi mālohi lahi foki naʻe pule ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia naʻe pule ki he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae totongi, mo e tukuhau, mo e totongi fakatau.
21 Tsopano inu khazikitsani lamulo kuti anthu amenewo asiye ntchitoyo, asamangenso mzindawo mpaka ine nditalamula
Pea ko eni mou fekau ki he kau tangata ke tuku, pea ke ʻoua naʻa langa ʻae kolo ni, kaeʻoua ke hoko atu ha fekau ʻe taha meiate au,

Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoua naʻa mou liʻaki ʻae meʻa ni: ko e hā ka tupu ai ʻae kovi ke kovi ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi?”
23 Kalata ya mfumu Aritasasitayi itangowerengedwa pamaso pa Rehumu ndi Simisai mlembi uja, ndi anzawo onse, iwo anapita msangamsanga ku Yerusalemu kukawaletsa Ayuda aja mwamphamvu kuti asapitirire ntchito yawo.
Pea ko eni ʻi he lau hono hiki ʻoe tohi ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAtakisekisi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Lihumi mo Simisai ko e tangata tohi, mo honau kaumeʻa, naʻa nau ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo hake ki Selūsalema ki he kakai Siu, pea taʻofi fakamālohi pe ʻakinautolu ke tuku.
24 Motero ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu inayimitsidwa mpaka chaka cha chiwiri cha ulamuliro wa Dariyo mfumu ya ku Perisiya.
Pea naʻe toki tuku ai ʻae ngāue ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema. Ko ia naʻe tuku ia ʻo aʻu ki hono ua taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Talaiasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
