Nehemia 9

1 E odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dweno, jo-Israel nochokore kanyakla, ka gitweyo chiemo kendo ka girwako pien gugru ka gibuko wiyegi gi buru.

Ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lane aleyonyanga, ama-Israyeli ahlangana ndawonye, azila ukudla egqoke amasaka njalo bezithele uthuli emakhanda abo.

2 Jogo ma jo-Israel hie nopogore moa kuom jopinje mamoko. Negichungʼ ma gihulo richogi kod timbe mag anjawo mag kweregi.

Labo ababengabako-Israyeli ngomdabuko bazehlukanisa kwabezizwe. Bema ezindaweni zabo bavuma izono zabo lobubi babokhokho babo.

3 Negichungʼ kanyo kendo ne gisomo Kitabu mar Chik mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kuom seche adek, kendo ne gihulo richogi ka gipako Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kuom seche adek mamoko.

Bema khonapho ababekhona babala eNcwadini yoMthetho kaThixo uNkulunkulu wabo okwengxenye yesine yosuku, kwathi enye ingxenye yesine babevuma izono zabo njalo bekhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.

4 Jo-Lawi mane ochungʼ e raidhi kaywak matek ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi ne gin, Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebania, Buni, Sherebia, Bani kod Kenani.

Ethaleni kwakumi abaLevi, uJeshuwa, loBhani, loKhadimiyeli, loShebhaniya, loBhuni, loSherebhiya, loBhani loKhenani, abamemeza baqongisa amazwi kuThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.

5 To jo-Lawi kaka, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneya, Sherebia, Hodia, Shebania kod Pethahia nowacho niya, “Chungʼuru malo mondo upak Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mantiere mochwere manyaka chiengʼ.” “Ogwedh nyingi man-gi duongʼ, kendo mad tingʼe malo moloyo gweth kod pak duto.

Njalo abaLevi ababalisa uJeshuwa, loKhadimiyeli, loBhani, loHashabhineya, loSherebhiya, loHodiya, loShebhaniya, loPhethahiya bathi: “Sukumani lidumise uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, okhona kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Libusisiwe ibizo lakho elingcwele, sengathi lingaphakanyiswa ngaphezulu kwakho konke ukubusiswa lokudunyiswa.

6 In kende e Jehova Nyasaye. Ne ichweyo polo nyaka polo man malo mogik, to gi gik moko duto manie iye, gi piny to gi gik moko duto man kuome, nembe kod gik moko duto manie igi. Ichiwo ngima ne gik moko duto, kendo jopolo pakoi.

Wena wedwa unguThixo. Wenza amazulu, kanye lamazulu aphezukonke, lazozonke izinkanyezi zawo, umhlaba lakho konke okukuwo, inlwandle lakho konke okukuzo. Uyapha ukuphila kukho konke, lamabutho wonke asezulwini ayakukhonza.

7 “In e Jehova Nyasaye, mane oyiero Abram mi igole oa Ur mar jo-Kaldea bangʼe imiye nying ni Ibrahim.

UnguThixo uNkulunkulu, owakhetha u-Abhrama wamkhupha e-Uri lamaKhaladiya wambiza ngokuthi ngu-Abhrahama.

8 Ne iyudo ka en ngʼat ma ja-adiera e nyimi, kendo ne iloso kode singruok ni inimi nyikwaye piny jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Jebus, kod jo-Girgash. Iserito singruok marino nikech in ja-ratiro.

Wabona ukuthi inhliziyo yakhe yayithembekile kuwe, ngakho wenza isivumelwano laye ukupha izizukulwane zakhe ilizwe lamaKhenani, lamaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaJebusi lamaGigashi. Usigcinile isithembiso sakho ngoba ulungile.

9 “Ne ineno kaka kwerewa nosandore e piny Misri; kendo ne iwinjo ywakgi kane gichopo e Nam Makwar.

Wakubona ukuhlupheka kwabokhokho bethu eGibhithe; wezwa ukukhala kwabo eLwandle oluBomvu.

10 Ne ioro ranyisi mag honni kod gik miwuoro ne Farao, kendo kuom jotende duto kod jopinyni duto, nimar ne ingʼeyo kaka jo-Misri ne tiyo jowa githuon. Ne iloso nyingi, ma pod en kamano nyaka chil kawuono.

Wathumela izibonakaliso ezingumangaliso lezimanga kuFaro, kuzozonke izinduna zakhe lakubo bonke abantu belizwe lakhe, ngoba wawukwazi ukuthi amaGibhithe abaphatha njani ngodlakela. Wazenzela ibizo, elimiyo kuze kube lamuhla.

11 Ne ibaro nam makwar ka gineno, mondo ne mi gikal kama otwo, makmana jogo mane lawogi ne inyumo e bwo nam, mana kaka kidi modir e ataro mar pi.

Walwehlukanisa ulwandle phambi kwabo, ukuze bedlule kulo emhlabathini owomileyo, kodwa waphosela labo ababebaxhuma ekujuleni, njengelitshe liphoselwa ethwaceni lwamanzi.

12 Godiechiengʼ ne itelonegi gi bor polo, to gotieno to ne itelonegi gi mach makakni mondo omigi ler e wangʼ yo kama ne giwuothoe.

Emini wawubakhokhela ngensika yeyezi, ebusuku ngensika yomlilo ukubapha ukukhanya endleleni ababehamba ngayo.

13 “Ne ilor e Got Sinai; mane iwuoyo kodgi gie polo. Ne imiyogi puonj kod chike makare kendo madiera kendo ne imiyogi puonj maber.

Wehla weza eNtabeni yaseSinayi; wakhuluma kubo usezulwini. Wabapha izimiso lemithetho eqondileyo njalo elungileyo, lezimemezelo lemilayo elungileyo.

14 Ne imiyo gingʼeyo Sabato-ni maler mi imiyogi chike, kod buche kokalo kuom jatichni Musa.

Wabazisa ngeSabatha lakho elingcwele njalo wabapha imilayo, lezimiso lemithetho ngenceku yakho uMosi.

15 Ka kech ne kayogi to ne imiyogi makati koa e polo kendo ka riyo noloyogi to ne ikelo pi koa e kor lwanda; bende ne inyisogi mondo gidhi gikaw pinyno mane isesingo kikwongʼori ni ibiro miyogi.

Ngesikhathi belambile wabapha isinkwa sivela ezulwini njalo ekomeni kwabo wabalethela amanzi ephuma edwaleni; wabatshela ukuthi bangene balithathe ilizwe owafunga uphakamisa isandla ukubapha.

16 “To kwerewa, nobedo jongʼayi kendo joma tokgi tek, mine ok giluoro chikegi.

Kodwa bona, okhokho bethu, baba yiziqholo baqinisa intamo, kabaze balalela imilayo yakho.

17 Negitamore winji kendo ne ok giparo honni mane itimo e diergi. Tokgi nobedo matek kendo e ngʼanyo margino ne giyiero jatelo mondo gidog gibed wasumbini. To in Nyasaye maweyone ji richogi, ma jangʼwono kendo maneno ne ji lit, iyi bende ok wangʼ piyo kendo hera mari ogundho.

Bala ukulalela njalo behluleka ukukhumbula izimanga owazenzayo phakathi kwabo. Baqinisa intamo kwathi ekuhlamukeni kwabo bakhetha umkhokheli ukuze babuyele ebugqilini babo. Kodwa unguNkulunkulu oxolelayo, olomusa lesihawu, ophuza ukuthukuthela kodwa wandile ngothando. Ngakho kawubafulathelanga,

18 Omiyo ne ok ijwangʼogi kata obedo nine gitimo timbe mag anjawo, ka giloso kido mar nyaroya mi giwacho niya, ‘Ma en nyasachu, mane ogolou e piny Misri.’

lalapho sebezibumbele isithombe sethole besithi, ‘Lo ngunkulunkulu wenu owalikhuphayo eGibhithe,’ lanxa benze amanyala esabekayo.

19 “Nikech ngʼwono mari mathoth ne ok ijwangʼogi e thim. Godiechiengʼ, bor polo nodhi nyime ka telonegi e yo, to gotieno mach makakni nomedo menyonegi kama giluwo.

Ngenxa yesihawu sakho esikhulu kawubakhalalanga enkangala. Emini insika yeyezi kayikhawulanga ukubakhokhela endleleni yabo, loba insika yomlilo ebusuku ukukhanyisa indlela ababemele bahambe ngayo.

20 Ne ichiwo Roho mari maber mondo opuonjgi. Ne ok ituonogi manna, kendo ne imiyogi pi kuom riyo mane oloyogi.

Wanika uMoya wakho omuhle ukubafundisa. Kawuyigodlanga imana yakho emilonyeni yabo, njalo wabapha amanzi ukucitsha umhawu wabo.

21 Ne iritogi e thim kuom higni piero angʼwen; onge gimoro amora mane gionge godo, lepgi ne ok oti kata tiendegi bende ne ok okuot.

Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane wabagcina enkangala; kabazange baswele lutho, izembatho zabo kaziguganga lezinyawo zabo kazivuvukanga.

22 “Ne imiyogi loyo pinyruodhi kod ogendini, mi ipogogi nyaka kuonde motimo ongoro. Negikawo piny Sihon ma ruodh Heshbon kod piny Og ma ruodh Bashan.

Wabapha imibuso lezizwe, wababela lemingcele ekude. Balithatha ilizwe likaSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni lelizwe lika-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani.

23 Ne imiyo yawuotgi obedo mangʼeny ka sulwe manie lwasi, mi ikelogi nyaka e piny mane isingone kweregi mondo odhiye kendo okaw.

Wenza amadodana abo aba manengi njengezinkanyezi zomkhathi, wabaletha elizweni owawutshele okhokho babo ukuba bangene kulo balithathe.

24 Yawuotgi nodonjo mi gikawo pinyno. Niloyonegi jo-Kanaan, mane odak e pinyno; ne ichiwonegi jo-Kanaan, kaachiel gi ruodhi mag-gi gi jopinyno, mondo gitimgi kaka bernegi.

Amadodana abo angena alithatha ilizwe. Wawehlukanisa phambi kwabo amaKhenani, ababehlala phakathi kwelizwe; wanikela amaKhenani kubo, ndawonye lamakhosi awo labantu belizwe, ukuba benze kubo njengokuthanda kwabo.

25 Negikawo mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga kod lowo mamiyo; bende negikawo udi mopongʼ gi gik mangʼeny mabeyo, sokni mane osekuny, puothe mzabibu, gi mag zeituni kod yiende mag olembe mangʼeny. Negichiemo ma giyiengʼ kendo negibedo gi mor mogundho; negiil kuom berni maduongʼ mane itimonegi.

Bathumba amadolobho abiyelweyo lomhlaba ovundileyo; bazithatha izindlu ezazigcwaliswe ngakho konke okuhle, lemithombo eyayivele igejiwe, izivini, lezivande zama-oliva lezihlahla ezinengi ezezithelo. Badla bazitika bakhithika imikhaba; bazithokozisa ngokulunga kwakho okukhulu.

26 “Kata kamano negibedo maonge luor mi gingʼanyoni; kendo wigi nowil kod chikeni. Neginego jonabi magi; mane osebedo ka puonjogi mondo gidwog iri; negitimo timbe maricho miwuoro.

Kodwa kabalalelanga bakuhlamukela; umthetho wakho bawubeka ngemva kwabo. Babulala abaphrofethi bakho, ababebakhuza ukuze babuyele kuwe; bahlambaza ngendlela eyesabekayo.

27 Omiyo ne ichiwogi e lwet wasikgi, mane omiyogi tingʼ mapek. To kane tingʼ mapek oromogi ne giywakni. Ne iwinjogi koa e polo, kendo gi ngʼwononi mogundho ne imiyogi jokony, mane oresogi giaye lwet wasikgi.

Ngakho wabanikela ezitheni zabo, zabancindezela. Kodwa kwathi sebencindezelwe bakhala kuwe. Usezulwini wabezwa, kwathi ngesihawu sakho esikhulu wabapha abakhululi, ababahlengayo ezandleni zezitha zabo.

28 “To apoya nono kane giseyudo yweyo, negitimo gima ok owinjore e nyim wangʼi. Bangʼe ne ijwangʼogi e lwet wasikgi mondo omi wasikgigo obed ruodhgi. To kane gichak giywakni kendo ne iwinjogi ka in e polo, to e ngʼwononi mogundho ne iresogi kuom kinde ka kinde.

Kodwa bonela ukuphumula, baphinda njalo benza okubi phambi kwakho. Wase ubadela ezandleni zezitha zabo ukuthi zibabuse. Kwathi lapho sebekhala kuwe njalo, wezwa usezulwini, kwathi ngesihawu sakho wabakhulula izikhathi ngezikhathi.

29 “Ne isiemogi mondo gidwog kuom chikni, to negibedo jongʼayi kendo ma ok oluoro chikeni. Negitimo richo kuom chayo puonj magi, maka ngʼato orito to kelone ngima. Negilokore giweyi ka tokgi tek ta mi ok girito chikeni.

Wabaxwayisa ukuthi babuyele emthethweni wakho, kodwa baqholoza kabaze bayilalela imilayo yakho. Benza isono ngezimiso zakho, okuthi nxa umuntu ezilalela aphile. Ngobuqholo bakufulathela, baqinisa intamo, bala ukulalela.

30 Kuom higni mangʼeny ne ihori kodgi. Kuom Roho mari ne ipuonjori kodgi kokalo kuom jonabi magi. Kata kamano, ne ok gichiko itgi malongʼo, omiyo ne ichiwogi ne joma ok jo-Yahudi.

Okweminyaka eminengi wababekezelela. NgoMoya wakho wabakhuza ngabaphrofethi bakho. Kodwa kabananzanga, ngakho wabanikela ebantwini abakhelene labo.

31 To e ngʼwono mari makende ne ok itiekogi chuth bende ne ok ijwangʼogi, nikech in Nyasaye ma jangʼwono kendo makecho joge.

Kodwa ngomusa wakho omkhulu kawubaqedanga njalo kawubadelanga, ngoba unguNkulunkulu olomusa, olozwelo.

32 “Emomiyo koro sani, yaye Nyasachwa, in e Nyasaye maduongʼ, Nyasaye nyakalaga kendo Nyasaye Maratego bende in e Nyasaye marito singruokne mar hera. Kik ikaw chandruok mwanenogi mayot; chandruokgi osebiro kuomwa, kuom ruodhi magwa kod jotendwa, kuom jodolo magwa kod jonabi, kuom kwerewa kod jogi duto, kochakore ndalo loch mag ruodhi jo-Asuria nyaka kawuono.

Ngakho-ke manje, Oh Nkulunkulu wethu, uNkulunkulu omkhulu, olamandla njalo omangalisayo, ogcina isivumelwano sakhe sothando, ungadeleli bonke lobu ubunzima obusehleleyo thina laphezu kwamakhosi ethu labakhokheli, phezu kwabaphristi labaphrofethi bethu, phezu kwabobaba labantu bakho bonke, kusukela ensukwini zamakhosi ase-Asiriya kuze kube lamuhla.

33 Kuom mago duto mosetimorenwa, isebedo jangʼad bura makare; isebedo ja-adiera, ka wan ne watimo marach.

Kukho konke lokho okwenzakeleyo kithi, ubeqotho; wenze ngokuthembeka, thina sisenza okubi.

34 Ruodhi magwa, jotendwa, jodolo mawa kod kwerewa ne ok oluwo chikni; ne ok gichiko itgi ne puonj magi kata siem mane imiyogi.

Amakhosi ethu, abakhokheli bethu, abaphristi bethu labobaba abawulandelanga umthetho wakho; abayinanzanga imilayo yakho izixwayiso owabapha zona.

35 Kata ndalo mane pod gin e bwo loch ruodhigi giwegi, kane pod gichamo mwandu mogundho mane imiyogi kendo gidak e piny malach kendo momewo mane ipogonegi, ne ok gitini bende ne ok giweyo timbegi maricho.

Loba babesembusweni wabo, bekholisa ukulunga kwakho kubo elizweni elibanzi elivundileyo lelo owabapha lona, kabakukhonzanga futhi kabaguqukanga ezindleleni zabo ezimbi.

36 “To koro wan wasumbini e piny mane imiyo kwerewa mondo omi gicham olembe moa kanyo kod gik moko mabeyo monyago.

Kodwa ake ubone, siyizigqili lamuhla, izigqili elizweni owalipha okhokho bethu ukuthi badle izithelo zalo lezinye izinto ezinhle eziphuma kulo.

37 Gik moko ma pinywani nyago dhi mana ne ruodhi miketo mondo otiwa nikech richowa. Gin gi teko kuom dendwa kendo gitimo mana gima gihero ni jambwa, to wan, to wan gi midhiero miwuoro.

Ngenxa yezono zethu, isivuno salo esinengi siya emakhosini osuwabeke phezu kwethu. Abusa phezu kwemizimba yethu laphezu kwezinkomo zethu njengokuthanda kwawo. Siphakathi kosizi olumangalisayo.”

38 “Kuom magi duto, waketo winjruok motweyowa, kwandiko wechegi piny, kendo jotendwa, gi jo-Lawi mawa kod jodolo mawa keto lwetgi kaka joneno.”

“Ngenxa yakho konke lokhu, sesisenza isivumelwano esibophayo, sisibhala phansi, njalo abakhokheli bethu, abaLevi labaphristi bethu bafaka uphawu lwabo kuso.”
