Ezra 3
1 Le ɣleti adrelia me esi Israelviwo nɔ woƒe duwo me nyuie vɔ la, dukɔ la ƒo ƒu ɖe Yerusalem abe ame ɖekawo ene.
Isifikile inyanga yesikhombisa, labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebesemizini, abantu babuthana njengamuntu munye eJerusalema.
2 Tete Yozadak ƒe vi, Yesua, nɔvia nunɔlawo kple Sealtiel ƒe vi, Zerubabel kple woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ bubuwo dze Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ɖiɖi gɔme be woasa numevɔwo le edzi, le nu si woŋlɔ ɖe Mawu ƒe ame, Mose ƒe Se la me nu.
Kwasekusukuma uJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki labafowabo abapristi, loZerubhabheli indodana kaSalatiyeli labafowabo, bakha ilathi likaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ukuze banikele iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni kaMozisi umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
3 Togbɔ be wovɔ̃ na ame siwo ƒo xlã wo hã la, woɖi vɔsamlekpui la ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpewo dzi, eye wosa ŋdi kple fiẽ numevɔsawo le edzi na Yehowa.
Basebemisa ilathi ezisekelweni zalo, ngoba ukwesaba kwakuphezu kwabo ngenxa yabantu belizwe, basebenikela eNkosini iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, iminikelo yokutshiswa ekuseni lantambama.
4 Le nu si woŋlɔ ɖi nu la, woɖu agbadɔmeŋkekenyui, eye wosa numevɔ xexlẽme sinu woɖo na ŋkeke ɖe sia ɖe.
Basebesenza umkhosi wamadumba njengokubhaliweyo, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa insuku ngensuku ngenani, njengomkhuba, udaba losuku ngosuku lwalo.
5 Le esia megbe la, wosa gbe sia gbe numevɔsawo, Dzinu Yeye vɔsawo kple vɔsa siwo woɖo ɖi na Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke kɔkɔe bubuwo. Nenema ke wosa vɔ siwo nye lɔlɔ̃nununana na Yehowa.
Langemva kwalokho umnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo, lowekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, lowemikhosi yonke emisiweyo yeNkosi eyayingcwelisiwe, lowakhe wonke owanikela ngesihle umnikelo wesihle eNkosini.
6 Togbɔ be womeɖo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la gɔme anyi haɖe o hã la, wodze vɔsasa na Yehowa gɔme le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesikhombisa baqalisa ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini, kodwa isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi sasingakabekwa.
7 Azɔ la, wotsɔ ga na gliɖolawo kple atikpalawo, eye wotsɔ nuɖuɖu, nunono kple ami na Sidontɔwo kple Tirotɔwo, be woatsɔ sedati lalãwo tso Lebanon ato ƒu dzi ava kɔ ɖe Yopa, le Persia fia, Sirus ƒe mɔnana nu.
Basebenika imali kubabazi bamatshe lakubabazi bezigodo, lokudla lokunathwayo lamafutha kumaSidoni lakumaTire ukuze balethe izigodo zemisedari zivela eLebhanoni bezisa elwandle eJopha, ngokwemvumo kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya kubo.
8 Le ɣleti evelia me, le ƒe evelia me esi wova ɖo Mawu ƒe aƒe la me le Yerusalem la, Sealtiel ƒe vi, Zerubabel, Yozadak ƒe vi, Yesua kple wo nɔvi bubuawo, nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kple ame siwo trɔ tso aboyome va Yerusalem la, dze dɔ la gɔme. Wotia Levitɔ siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la be woakpɔ Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe dɔ dzi.
Langomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endlini kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, ngenyanga yesibili, baqalisa oZerubhabheli indodana kaSalatiyeli loJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki, lensali yabafowabo, abapristi lamaLevi, labo bonke ababebuyile eJerusalema bevela ekuthunjweni; basebemisa amaLevi kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu ukongamela umsebenzi wendlu yeNkosi.
9 Yesua kple via ŋutsuwo, nɔviawo kple Kadmiel kple via ŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye Hodavia ƒe dzidzimeviwo, kpe ɖe Henadad ƒe viŋutsuwo kple wo viŋutsuwo kpakple wo nɔviwo ŋu. Levitɔwo katã wɔ ɖeka le ame siwo le Mawu ƒe aƒe la tum la ƒe dɔwo dzi kpɔkpɔ me.
Kwasekusukuma oJeshuwa, amadodana akhe, labafowabo, uKadimiyeli lamadodana akhe, abantwana bakoJuda, njengomuntu munye ukongamela abenzi bomsebenzi endlini kaNkulunkulu, amadodana kaHenadadi, amadodana abo labafowabo amaLevi.
10 Esi xɔtulawo ɖo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gɔmeɖokpe vɔ la, nunɔlawo nɔ woƒe awu ʋlayawo me, lé kpẽwo ɖe asi kple Levitɔ siwo tso Asaf ƒe ƒome me, lé asiʋuiwo ɖe asi, eye woyi ɖanɔ woƒe nɔƒewo be woakafu Yehowa, abe ale si Israel fia, David ɖoe da ɖi ene.
Abakhi sebebekile isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi, bamisa abapristi begqokile belezimpondo, lamaLevi, amadodana kaAsafi, elensimbi ezincencethayo, ukudumisa iNkosi, njengokwezandla zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
11 Wotsɔ kafukafu kple akpedada dzi ha na Yehowa be, “Eƒe dɔ me nyo, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ na Israel li ɖaa.” Tete amehawo katã do kafukafuɣli na Yehowa sesĩe elabena woɖo Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe gɔmeɖokpeawo vɔ.
Baphendulana ngokuhlabela bedumisa bebonga iNkosi, ngoba ilungile, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube nininini kuIsrayeli. Bonke abantu basebememeza ngokumemeza okukhulu ekuyidumiseni iNkosi, ngoba isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi sasesibekiwe.
12 Ke esi nunɔla tsitsi geɖewo, Levitɔwo kple ƒometatɔwo, ame siwo kpɔ gbedoxɔ xoxo la kpɔ, eye wogakpɔ yeyea ƒe gɔmeɖoƒe la, wo katã fa avi kple ɣli, ke ame bubu geɖewo ya do dzidzɔɣli.
Kodwa abanengi babapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise, abadala ababeyibonile indlu yokuqala, isisekelo salindlu sesibekiwe emehlweni abo, bakhala inyembezi ngelizwi elikhulu; kodwa abanengi baphakamisa ilizwi ngokumemeza ngentokozo.
13 Ame aɖeke mate ŋu ade vovototo dzidzɔɣli la kple aviɣli la dome o, elabena ameawo ƒe aseyetsotso de dzi ŋutɔ. Ale wose woƒe ɣli la le didiƒe ke.
Ngokunjalo abantu kabehlukanisanga umsindo wokumemeza kwentokozo lomsindo wokukhala kwabantu, ngoba abantu baklabalala ngokuklabalala okukhulu, umsindo waze wezwakala khatshana.
