1 Gbe ma gbe ke esi wonɔ Mose ƒe Seawo xlẽm la, wokpɔ be woŋlɔ ɖi be womaɖe mɔ na Amonitɔwo alo Moabtɔwo woasubɔ Mawu le gbedoxɔ la me o,
Pa tsiku limenelo anawerenga buku la Mose anthu akumva. Ndipo anapeza mawu akuti, Mwamoni kapena Mmowabu asalowe konse mu msonkhano wa Mulungu.
2 elabena womewɔ xɔlɔ̃ kple Israel o. Wotsɔ Balaam be woaƒo fi ade Israelviwo, ke Mawu trɔ fiƒode la wòzu yayra.
Paja iwowa sanawachingamire Aisraeli kukawapatsa chakudya ndi madzi. Mʼmalo mwake analemba ganyu Baalamu kuti adzawatemberere. Komabe Mulungu wathu anasandutsa tembererolo kukhala mdalitso.
3 Esi wose se sia la, wonya amedzrowo katã le Israel dome.
Anthu atamva lamuloli, anachotsa pakati pawo onse amene anali achilendo.
4 Hafi nya sia nadzɔ la, Nunɔla Eliasib, ame si kpɔa gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo dzi, eye wònye Tobia xɔlɔ̃ vevi aɖe la,
Izi zisanachitike, wansembe Eliyasibu anali atasankhidwa kukhala woyangʼanira zipinda zosungiramo katundu za Nyumba ya Mulungu. Iyeyu ankagwirizana kwambiri ndi Tobiya.
5 trɔ nudzraɖoxɔawo dometɔ ɖeka wòzu amedzrodzeƒe nyui aɖe na Tobia. Tsã la, wodzraa nuɖuvɔsanuwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, gagbɛwo kple bli, aha yeye kple ami ƒe ewoliawo ɖo ɖe xɔ sia me. Mose de se be nu siawo nye Levitɔwo, hadzihamenɔlawo kple agbonudzɔlawo tɔ, eye nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsanuwo nye nunɔlawo tɔ.
Choncho anamupatsa chipinda chachikulu chimene kale ankasungamo zopereka zakudya, lubani, ziwiya, zopereka za chakhumi za tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta zoyenera kuperekedwa kwa Alevi, oyimba nyimbo ndi alonda a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, komanso mphatso zoyenera kupereka kwa ansembe.
6 Nyemenɔ Yerusalem ɣe ma ɣi o. Megbugbɔ yi Babilonia le Fia Artazerses ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-evelia me. Emegbe la, mebia mɔfiala,
Koma pamene izi zonse zinkachitika mu Yerusalemu, ine kunalibe popeza mʼchaka cha 32 cha Aritasasita mfumu ya Babuloni ine ndinabwerera kwa mfumu. Patapitanso nthawi ndinapempha chilolezo kwa mfumuyo
7 eye megbugbɔ va Yerusalem. Esi mese nu vɔ̃ɖi si Eliasib wɔ, be wòwɔ amedzrodzeƒe ɖe gbedoxɔ me na Tobia la,
ndipo ndinabwerera ku Yerusalemu. Kumeneko ndinamva za chinthu choyipa chimene Eliyasibu anachita pomupatsa Tobiya chipinda mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu.
8 medo dɔmedzoe, eye mefɔ Tobia ƒe nuwo le xɔ la me ƒu gbe.
Ndinapsa mtima kwambiri ndipo ndinataya kunja katundu yense wa Tobiya amene anali mʼchipindamo.
9 Mena wokɔ xɔ la ŋu nyuie, eye megbugbɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe agbawo, nuɖuvɔsanuwo kple atike ʋeʋĩwo de xɔ la me.
Ndinalamulira kuti ayeretse zipinda, ndipo kenaka ndinabwezeramo zida za mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, pamodzi ndi chopereka cha zakudya ndi lubani.
10 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, mese be womele nu siwo nye Levitɔwo tɔ la tsɔm na wo o, ale woawo kple hadzihamenɔla siwo naa kpekpeɖeŋu le sɔlemedede me la gbugbɔ yi ɖanɔ dɔ wɔm le woƒe agblewo me.
Ndinapezanso kuti Alevi sankalandira magawo awo amene amayera kulandira. Chotsatira chake Alevi onse pamodzi ndi oyimba nyimbo amene ankagwira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu anathawa, aliyense kupita ku munda wake.
11 Meka mo na kplɔlawo, eye mebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miegblẽ gbedoxɔ la ɖi ɖo?” Meyɔ Levitɔwo vɛ, eye mena wogade asi woƒe dɔwo wɔwɔ me.
Choncho ndinadzudzula akuluakulu aja ndipo ndinawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani Nyumba ya Mulungu yasiyidwa?” Ndipo ine ndinawayitanitsa pamodzi ndi kuwayika mʼmalo awo.
12 Ale Yudatɔwo katã gade asi woƒe bli, wain yeye kple ami ƒe ewoliawo tsɔtsɔ va gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo me.
Pambuyo pake Ayuda anayambanso kubwera ndi zopereka zawo za chakhumi cha tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta kuti ziperekedwe ku nyumba yosungiramo chuma.
13 Metsɔ Selemia, nunɔla la kple Zadok, agbalẽfiala la kple Pedaya, Levitɔ la ɖo avawo dzi kpɔkpɔ nu, eye mena Hanan, Zakur ƒe vi kple Matania ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi zu woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ. Ame siawo nye ame siwo ŋu ŋkɔ nyui nɔ, eye woƒe dɔdeasie nye be woama nuawo na wo nɔvi Levitɔwo abe ale si dze ene.
Ndipo ndinasankha wansembe Selemiya, mlembi Zadoki, ndi Mlevi wotchedwa Pedaya kukhala oyangʼanira zipinda zosungiramo. Ndinasankhanso Hanani mwana wa Zakuri mwana wa Mataniya kukhala wowathandizira chifukwa ndinaona kuti anthu awa anali odalirika. Ntchito yawo inali yogawira abale awo zinthu zofunika.
14 O! Nye Mawu, ɖo ŋku dɔ nyui sia si mewɔ la dzi, eye mègaŋlɔ nu siwo katã mewɔ le gbedoxɔ la ŋu be o.
Inu Mulungu wanga, mundikumbukire pa zimenezi, ndipo musafafanize ntchito zanga zimene ndachita mokhulupirika pa Nyumba yanu pofuna kukutumikirani.
15 Le ɣe ma ɣiwo me la, mekpɔ amewo wonɔ wain fiam le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye wonɔ ƒu ƒom woƒe lu bablawo kple wain tsetsewo kple gbotsetsewo kple agblemenu vovovowo nɔ agba dom na woƒe tedziwo, eye wotsɔ nu siawo katã gbɔna Yerusalem le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eya ta mede se na wo le nudzadzra le ŋkeke ma dzi la ŋuti.
Nthawi imeneyo ndinaona anthu a mu Yuda akuponda ndi kufinya mphesa pa tsiku la Sabata. Ena ankawunjika tirigu milumilu ndi kumasenzetsa abulu. Enanso ankabwera ndi vinyo, mphesa, mkuyu ndi katundu wa mitundumitundu ku Yerusalemu pa tsiku la Sabata. Choncho ndinawachenjeza za kugulitsa zakudya pa tsiku la Sabata.
16 Tirotɔ aɖewo hã nɔ Yerusalem, ame siwo nɔ tɔmelã kple adzɔnu vovovowo dzram le Yerusalem le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi.
Nawonso anthu a ku Turo amene ankakhala mu Yerusalemu ankabweretsa nsomba ndi akatundu ena onse amalonda kudzagulitsa pa Sabata kwa anthu a mʼdziko la Yuda ndi a mu Yerusalemu.
17 Meka mo na Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo, eye mebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele kɔ gblẽm ɖo na Dzudzɔgbe la?
Ndipo ndinadzudzula anthu olemekezeka a dziko la Yuda. Ndinawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchoyipa chanji mukuchitachi, kumayipitsa tsiku la Sabata chotere?
18 Mia fofowo wɔ nu sia tɔgbi, eye wohe dzɔgbevɔ̃e siwo li fifia la va miawo ŋutɔ kple miaƒe du la dzi. Ɖe esia mesɔ gbɔ na mi oa? Ke azɔ la, miegale Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe flam ɖe Israelviwo ŋu ɖe edzi, to ɖiƒoƒo Dzudzɔgbe la to mɔ sia dzi me!”
Makolo anu anachita zomwezi ndipo Mulungu wathu anadzetsa mavuto pa ife ndi pa mzinda uwu. Kodi inu mukufuna kuwutsanso mkwiyo wa Mulungu pa Israeli pamene mukudetsa tsiku la Sabata?”
19 Ale mede se be tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, ne ɣe ɖo to le Fiɖagbe ko la, woatu agboawo katã, eye womagaʋu wo o va se ɖe esime Dzudzɔgbe la nava yi. Meɖo nye subɔla aɖewo ɖa be woadzɔ agboawo ŋu, ale be ame aɖeke magatsɔ adzɔnu aɖeke ava Yerusalem le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi o.
Nʼchifukwa chake ndikulamula kuti pamene kuyamba kuda, tsiku la Sabata lisanayambe, azitseka zipata zonse za Yerusalemu ndipo asazitsekule mpaka sabata litatha. Ndinayika ena mwa antchito anga oyangʼanira pa zipata kuti katundu aliyense asalowe mu Yerusalemu pa tsiku la Sabata.
20 Asitsala aɖewo va tɔ ɖe dua godo zi eve aɖewo,
Choncho kamodzi kapena kawiri anthu amalonda ndi anthu ogulitsa katundu osiyanasiyana ankagona usiku wonse kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
21 ke meƒo nu na wo kple adã be, “Nu ka dim miele hafi va tsi gli la godo dɔ? Ne miegawɔe azɔ la, malé mi.” Eyae nye zi mamlɛtɔ si wova le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi.
Koma ndinawachenjeza ndi kuwafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukugona pafupi ndi khoma? Ngati muchitanso zimenezi, ine ndidzakugwirani.” Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, sanabwerenso pa tsiku la Sabata.
22 Azɔ la, meɖe gbe na Levitɔwo be woakɔ wo ɖokui ŋuti, woadzɔ agboawo ŋu, eye woakpɔ egbɔ be ame sia ame wɔ Dzudzɔgbe la kɔkɔe. O! Nye Mawu, ɖo ŋku nye wɔna sia hã dzi! Ve nunye le wò lɔlɔ̃ sɔ gbɔ la nu.
Ndipo ndinalamulira Alevi kuti adziyeretse okha ndi kubwera kudzalonda pa zipata ndi cholinga choti tsiku la Sabata likhale tsiku loyera. Inu Mulungu wanga, kumbukireninso ine pa zimenezi ndipo mundisunge malingana ndi chikondi chanu chachikulu chosasinthika.
23 Le ɣe ma ɣi ke la, mede dzesii be Yuda ŋutsu geɖewo ɖe srɔ̃ tso Asdod, Amon kple Moab,
Masiku amenewo ndinaonanso anthu a ku Yuda amene anakwatira akazi ochokera ku Asidodi, Amoni ndi Mowabu.
24 eye wo viwo dometɔ geɖewo gblɔa Asdod gbe alo dzrogbe bubuwo, eye wometea ŋu gblɔa Yuda gbe kura o.
Theka la ana awo linkayankhula chiyankhulo cha Asidodi kapena chiyankhulo chimodzi cha anthu ena, ndipo sankathanso kuyankhula chiyankhulo cha Ayuda.
25 Ale mehe nya kple dzila siawo, meƒo fi de wo, meƒo wo dometɔ aɖewo, menyɔ woƒe taɖa, eye mena woka atam le Mawu ŋkume gblɔ be, “Míagatsɔ mía vinyɔnuwo na wo viŋutsuwo woaɖe o, alo míaɖe wo vinyɔnuwo na mía viŋutsuwo o, alo míawo ŋutɔ míaɖe wo o.
Tsono ndinakangana nawo ndi kuwatemberera. Ndinamenya ena mwa anthuwo ndi kuzula tsitsi lawo. Ine ndinawalumbiritsa mʼdzina la Mulungu kuti, “Inu musapereke ana anu aakazi kuti akwatiwe ndi ana awo aamuna kapena inuyo ngakhale ana anu aamuna kukwatira ana awo aakazi.
26 Alo menye srɔ̃ sia tɔgbiwo ɖeɖee na be Israel fia Solomo wɔ nu vɔ̃ oa? Le dukɔ geɖewo me la, fia aɖeke mede enu o. Mawu lɔ̃ eya amea, eye wòɖoe fiae ɖe Israel katã dzi, gake dzronyɔnuwo blee de nu vɔ̃ me.
Kodi Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli suja anachimwa chifukwa cha ukwati ngati umenewu. Pakati pa mitundu yambiri panalibe mfumu ngati iyi. Iye anakondedwa ndi Mulungu wake, ndipo Mulungu anamuyika kukhala mfumu ya Israeli yense, koma iyeyo anachimwa chifukwa cha akazi achilendo.
27 Ke azɔ la, ɖe míase be miawo hã miele nu vɔ̃ɖi sia tɔgbi wɔm, eye miele nuteƒe wɔm na Mawu o to dzronyɔnuwo ɖeɖe mea?”
Kodi tsopano ife tizimva inu kuti mukuchita choyipa chachikulu chimenechi, kupandukira Yehova Mulungu wathu pomakwatira akazi achilendo?”
28 Yoiada, Eliasib, nunɔla la ƒe viŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe Sanbalat, Horonitɔ la ƒe vinyɔnu, ale menyae le gbedoxɔ la me.
Mmodzi mwa ana aamuna a Yehoyada mwana Eliyasibu mkulu wa ansembe nʼkuti nthawi imeneyi ali mpongozi wa Sanibalati wa ku Horoni. Choncho ndinamuthamangitsa pamaso panga.
29 O! Nye Mawu, ɖo ŋku wo dzi, elabena wogblẽ kɔ ɖo na nunɔlawo ƒe dɔ kple nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe nubabla.
Inu Mulungu wanga, mukumbukire mmene iwo anayipitsira unsembe, pangano la unsembe komanso la Alevi.
30 Ale mekɔ nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ŋu tso dzronuwo me, eye mena dɔ wo, ame sia ame kple etɔ.
Motero ndinayeretsa ansembe ndi Alevi powachotsera kalikonse kachilendo. Ndipo ndinakhazikitsa ntchito zawo, kuti aliyense akhale pa ntchito yake.
31 Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, mewɔ ɖoɖo ɖe nakenana ɖe ɣeyiɣi dzi kple nu gbãtɔwo nana hã ŋu. O! Nye Mawu, ɖo ŋku dzinye, le wò dɔmenyo la nu.
Ndiponso kupereka nkhuni ndi zipatso zoyamba kucha pa nthawi yake. Ndikumbukireni pondikomera mtima, Inu Mulungu wanga.
