Adani a Yuda ndi Benjamini anamva kuti anthu obwera ku ukapolo aja akumangira Nyumba Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli.
2 and thei neiyeden to Zorobabel, and to the princes of fadris, and seiden to hem, Bilde we with you, for so as ye, we seken youre God; lo! we han offrid sacrificis fro the daies of Assoraddon, kyng of Assur, that brouyte vs hidur.
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.”
3 And Zorobabel, and Josue, and the othere princes of the fadris of Israel, seiden to hem, It is not to vs and to you, that we bilde an hows to oure God; but we vs silf aloone schulen bilde to `oure Lord God, as Cirus, the kyng of Persis, comaundide to vs.
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.”
4 Forsothe it was doon, that the puple of the lond lettide the hondis of the puple of Juda, and trobliden hem in bildyng.
Tsono anthu a mʼdzikomo anayamba kuchititsa ulesi anthu a ku Yuda, ndi kuwachititsa mantha kuti aleke ntchito yomangayo.
5 And thei hiriden counselouris ayens the Jewis, that thei schulden destrie the counseil of the Jewis, in alle the daies of Cirus, king of Persis, and `til to the rewme of Darius, king of Persis.
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.
6 Forsothe in the rewme of Assueris, he is Artaxersis, in the bigynnyng of his rewme, thei writiden accusing ayens the dwellers of Juda and of Jerusalem;
Mfumu Ahasiwero atangoyamba kulamulira dzikolo, adani aja analemba kalata yoneneza anthu a Yuda ndi Yerusalemu.
7 and in the daies of Artaxarses, Besellam wroot, Mytridates, and Thabel, and othere, that weren in the counsel of hem, to Artaxarses, kyng of Persis. For the pistle of accusyng was writun in langage of Sirie, and was red in word of Sirie.
Ndiponso mʼnthawi ya Aritasasita mfumu ya Perisiya, Bisilamu, Mitiredati, Tabeeli ndi anzawo ena analemba kalata inanso kwa Aritasasita. Kalatayo inalembedwa mʼChiaramu ndipo ankatanthauzira poyiwerenga.
8 Reum, Beel, Theem, and Samsai, the scryuen, writen sich oon epistle fro Jerusalem to the kyng Artaxerses; Reum,
Rehumu mkulu wankhondo ndi Simisai mlembi, nawonso analemba kalata yawo yoneneza anthu a ku Yerusalemu kwa mfumu Aritasasita. Anayilemba motere:
9 Beel, Theem, and Samsai, the writere, and othere counselouris of hem, Dyney, Pharsathei, and Therphalei, Arphasei, Harthuei, men of Babiloyne, Susanne, Thanei, Dacei, men of Helam,
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,
10 and othere of hethene men, whiche the grete and gloriouse Asennaphar translatide, and made hem to dwelle in the citees of Samarie, and in othere cuntrees biyonde the flood, `in pees.
ndi mitundu ina imene mkulu wolemekezeka, Osanipara anayisamutsa ndi kuyikhazika mʼmizinda ya Samariya ndi mʼmadera ena apatsidya la Yufurate.
11 This is the saumplere of the pistle, which thei senten to the kyng. `To Artaxerses, king, thi seruauntis, men `that ben biyende the flood, seyn helthe.
Mawu a mʼkalata ya kwa Aritasasita anali awa: Kwa mfumu Aritasasita: Kuchokera kwa atumiki anu, anthu a kutsidya kwa Yufurate:
12 Be it knowun to the kyng, that the Jewis, that stieden fro thee, ben comun to vs `in to Jerusalem, the rebel and worste citee, which thei bilden, and thei maken the ground wallis therof, and arayen the wallis aboue.
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.
13 Nou therfor be it knowun to the kyng, that if thilke citee be bildid, and the wallis therof be restorid, thei schulen not yyue tribut, and tol, and annuel rentis, and this trespas schal come `til to the kyng.
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.
14 Therfor we ben myndeful of the salt, which we eeten in the paleis, and for we holden it vnleueful to se the harmes of the kyng, therfor we han sent and teld to the kyng;
Popeza tsono ife timadya nawo kwa mfumu sitiyenera tizingoonerera zinthu zochititsa mfumu manyazi. Nʼchifukwa chake tikutumiza uthenga kwa inu a mfumu kuti mudziwe zonse.
15 that thou acounte in the bokis of stories of thi fadris, and thou schalt fynde writun in cronyclis, and thou schalt wite, that thilke citee is a rebel citee, and that it anoieth kyngis and prouynces, and batels ben reisid therynne of elde daies; wherfor also thilke citee was distried.
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.
16 We tellen to the kyng, that if thilke citee be bildid, and the wallis therof be restorid, thou schalt not haue possessioun biyende the flood.
Tsono tikukudziwitsani amfumu kuti ngati mzinda umenewu umangidwanso ndi makoma ake nʼkutsirizidwanso ndiye kuti inu simudzalamuliranso chigawo cha patsidya pa Yufurate.
17 The kyng sente word to Reum, Beel, Theem, and to Samsai, the scryuen, and to othere that weren in the counsel of hem, to the dwelleris of Samarie, and to othere biyendis the flood, and seide, Helthe and pees.
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.
18 The accusyng, which ye senten to vs, was red opynli bifor me;
Kalata imene munatumiza ija yawerengedwa bwino lomwe pamaso panga.
19 and it was comaundid of me, and thei rekenyden, and thei foundun, that thilke citee rebellith of elde daies ayens kyngis, and dissenciouns and batels ben reisid therynne;
Ine nditalamula kuti afufuze nkhaniyi kwapezekadi kuti mzinda umenewu uli ndi mbiri yowukira mafumu ndi kuti zaupandu ndi zowukira zinkachitikadi mʼmenemo.
20 for whi `and ful stronge kyngis weren in Jerusalem, which also weren lordis of al the cuntrei which is biyende the flood; also thei token tribut, and tol, and rentis.
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.
21 Now therfor here ye the sentence, that ye forbede tho men, and that thilke citee be not bildid, til if perauenture it be comaundid of me.
Tsopano inu khazikitsani lamulo kuti anthu amenewo asiye ntchitoyo, asamangenso mzindawo mpaka ine nditalamula
22 Se ye, that this be not fillid necgligentli, and yuel encreesse litil `and litil ayens kyngis.
Musachedwe kuchita zimenezi. Kodi ine ndingalole bwanji kuti zowononga zotere zikule ndi kupweteka ine mfumu?
23 Therfor the saumple of the comaundement of kyng Artaxarses was red bifor Reum, Beel, Theem, and Samsai, the scryueyn, and her counseleris; and thei yeden hastili in to Jerusalem to the Jewis, and forbediden hem with arm and myyt.
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.
24 Thanne the werk of Goddis hows in Jerusalem was left, and it was not maad til to the secounde yeer of Darius, king of Persis.
Motero ntchito yomanga Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu inayimitsidwa mpaka chaka cha chiwiri cha ulamuliro wa Dariyo mfumu ya ku Perisiya.
