Ezera 3
1 A HIKI mai ka hiku o ka malama, a e noho ana na mamo a Iseraela ma na kulanakauhale, hoakoakoaia ae la na kanaka me he kanaka hookahi la ma Ierusalema.
Mwedzi wechinomwe wakati wasvika uye vana veIsraeri vakanga vagara mumaguta avo, vanhu vakaungana pamwe chete somunhu mumwe chete muJerusarema.
2 Alaila ku ae la o Iesua ke keiki a Iozadaka, a me kona mau hoahanau, na kahuna, a o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a me kona poe hoahanau, hana lakou i ke kuahu no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni maluna ona, e like me ka palapala ma ke kanawai o Mose ke kanaka no ke Akua.
Ipapo Jeshua mwanakomana waJozadhaki navamwe vake vaprista naZerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri neshamwari dzake vakatanga kuvaka aritari yaMwari weIsraeri kuti vabayirepo zvipiriso zvinopiswa, maererano nezvakanyorwa muMurayiro waMozisi, munhu waMwari.
3 A kau aku la lakou i ke kuahu maluna o kona mau kahua, no ka mea, ua kau mai ka makau maluna o lakou no na kanaka o na aina e; a kaumaha aku maluna ona i na mohaikuni ia Iehova, i na mohaikuni no kakahiaka a no ke ahiahi.
Vakavakira aritari pahwaro uye vakabayirapo kuna Jehovha zvipiriso zvinopiswa, zvose zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvamangwanani nezvamadekwana, zvisinei kuti vaitya vanhu vakanga vakavapoteredza.
4 A malama lakou i ka ahaaina kauhalelewa, e like me ka palapala, a kaumaha aku i ka mohaikuni no kela la keia la, me ka helu ana, e like me ka hana mau no kela la keia la.
Ipapo vakapemberera Mutambo waMatumba sezvazvakanga zvakanyorwa, nouwandu hwaidikanwa hwezvipiriso zvinopiswa hwakanga hwakanyorwa, hwezuva rimwe nerimwe.
5 A mahope o ia mea, i ka mohaikuni hoomau, no na mahina hou a no na ahaaina a pau na Iehova i hoolaaia, a no na mea a pau i mohai oluolu aku ai i ka mohai aloha no Iehova.
Mushure maizvozvo, vakapa chipiriso chinopiswa chenguva dzose, nezvibayiro zvapaKugara kwoMwedzi uye nezvibayiro zvemitambo yose mitsvene yaJehovha yakanga yakatarwa, pamwe chetewo neizvo zvakauyiswa sezvipo zvokuzvisarudzira kuna Jehovha.
6 Mai ka la mua o ka hiku o ka malama ko lakou hoomaka ana e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni ia Iehova. Aka, o ka luakini o Iehova aole i hookumuia.
Pazuva rokutanga romwedzi wechinomwe vakatanga kupa zvipiriso zvinopiswa kuna Jehovha, kunyange zvazvo nheyo dzetemberi yaJehovha dzakanga dzichigere kuteyiwa.
7 A haawi aku la lakou i ke kala no ka poe kalai pohaku, a no ka poe paahana; a me ka ai hoi, a me ka mea inu, a me ka aila ua ko Zidona, a na ko Turo, i lawe mai lakou i na laau kedara mai Lebanona mai a ke kai o Iopa, e like me ka mea a Kuro ke alii o Peresia i ae mai ai ia lakou.
Ipapo vakapa mari kuvavezi vamabwe navavezi vamatanda, uye vakapa zvokudya nezvokunwa namafuta kuvanhu veSidhoni neveTire, kuitira kuti vatore matanda emisidhari kubva kuRebhanoni vagoayeredza nemvura yegungwa kuti aende kuJopa, sezvakanga zvatenderwa naSirasi mambo wePezhia.
8 A i ka lua o ka makahiki o ko lakou hele ana mai i ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema, i ka lua o ka malama, i hoomaka ai o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a o Iesua ke keiki a Iozadaka, a me ke koena o ko lakou poe hoahanau na kahuna, a me ua Levi, a me ka poe a pau i hele mai, mai ke pio ana mai a Ierusalema; a hoonoho i na Levi, mai ka iwakalua o na makahiki a i keu aku, i nana lakou i ka hana o ka hale no Iehova.
Mumwedzi wechipiri wegore rechipiri mushure mokunge vasvika paimba yaMwari muJerusarema, Zerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri, naJeshua mwanakomana waJozadhaki nedzimwe hama dzavo dzose (vaprista navaRevhi uye navose vakanga vadzokera kuJerusarema vachibva kuutapwa) vakatanga kushanda vakagadza vaRevhi vana makore makumi maviri kana anopfuura kuti vave vatariri vokuvakwa kweimba yaJehovha.
9 Ku pu ae la o Iesua me kana poe keiki, a me kona poe hoahanau, o Kademiela a me kana mau keiki, no na keiki a Iuda, e nana aku maluna o ka poe paahana ma ka hale o ke Akua; o na keiki hoi a Henadada, me ka lakou poe keiki, a me ko lakou mau hoahanau, o na Levi.
Jeshua navanakomana vake nehama dzake naKadhimieri navanakomana vake (zvizvarwa zvaHodhavhia) navanakomana vaHenadhadhi navanakomana vavo nehama dzavo, navaRevhi vose vakabatana pamwe chete navo pakutarira vaishanda paimba yaMwari.
10 A i ka wa i hookumu ai ka poe hana hale i ka luakini o Iehova, hoonoho lakou i na kahuna i kahikoia me na pu, a me na Levi, na keiki a Asapa, me na kimehala, e hoolea aku ia Iehova, e like me ka mea a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela i kauoha ai.
Zvino vavaki vakati vateya nheyo dzetemberi yaJehovha, vaprista vakapfeka nguo dzavo, uye vakabata hwamanda, navaRevhi (vanakomana vaAsafi) vakabata makandira, vakamira munzvimbo dzavo kuti varumbidze Jehovha, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naDhavhidhi mambo weIsraeri.
11 A mele aku lakou me ka hoolea ana, a me ka hoomaikai ana ia Iehova; No ka mea, he maikai oia, a he mau loa kona aloha i ka Iseraela. A hooho ae la na kanaka a pau me ka hooho nui, i ko lakou hoolea ana ia Iehova no ka hookumu ana i ka hale o Iehova.
Vakaimba kuna Jehovha vachirumbidza nokutenda, vachiti: “Jehovha akanaka; rudo rwake kuna Israeri runogara nokusingaperi.” Uye vanhu vose vakadanidzira nenzwi guru rokurumbidza kuna Jehovha, nokuti nheyo dzeimba yaJehovha dzakanga dzateyiwa.
12 Aka, nui na kahuna, a me na Levi, a me ka poe koikoi o na makua, o na mea kahiko, na mea i ike i ka hale mua, i ka hookumu ana o keia hale imua o ko lakou maka, auwe iho la lakou me ka leo nui; a nui no hoi ka poe i hooho me ka leo kiekie no ka olioli.
Asi vazhinji vavaprista navaRevhi vakanga vakwegura navakuru vedzimba dzavo, avo vakanga vaona temberi yokutanga, vakachema nenzwi guru pavakaona nheyo dzetemberi iyi dzichiteyiwa, asi vamwe vazhinji vaipururudza nomufaro.
13 Nolaila aole i hiki i na kanaka ke hookaawale i ka leo o ka hooho olioli ana a me ka leo o ka uwe ana o na kanaka; no ka mea, ua hooho na kanaka me ka hooho nui, a ua loheia ka leo ma kahi loihi.
Hapana aigona kutsaura inzwi rokudanidzira kwomufaro kubva kuinzwi rokuchema kwavanhu, nokuti vanhu vakaita ruzha rukuru kwazvo. Uye ruzha urwu rwakanzwika kure kure.
