Isifikile inyanga yesikhombisa, labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebesemizini, abantu babuthana njengamuntu munye eJerusalema.
2 Ana hutazageno Jozadaki nemofo Jeshua'ene afuhe'zane agranema pristi eri'zama eneriza naga'ene, Sealtieli nemofo Jerubabeli'ene naga'amozane agafa hu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma tevefi kre fnanehu ofama huntesaza ita ete tro hu'naze. Ana itama tro'ma hu'nazana Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese kasege avontafepi krente'naza kante ante'za tro hu'naze.
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 Hanki zamagra anama mani'naza mopafi vahekura koro hu'nazanagi, ana zankura ontahi'za ko'ma kresramna vu itama me'nea nonte ete ita tro hute'za, anante maka nanterane kinaganena Ra Anumzamofontega tevefi kre fanane hu ofa hu'naze.
Basebemisa ilathi ezisekelweni zalo, ngoba ukwesaba kwakuphezu kwabo ngenxa yabantu belizwe, basebenikela eNkosini iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, iminikelo yokutshiswa ekuseni lantambama.
4 Ana hute'za Fugagi Nompima mani'za e'naza zanku'ma antahimiza musenkasema nehaza knarera, avontafepima hu'nea kante amage ante'za, mago mago knarerera tevefi kre fanane hu ofa kre srama vutere hu'naze.
Basebesenza umkhosi wamadumba njengokubhaliweyo, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa insuku ngensuku ngenani, njengomkhuba, udaba losuku ngosuku lwalo.
5 Hanki anama hute'za maka zupama tevefi kre fananema nehaza ofaramina nehu'za, kasefa ikama eme antegeno'ma nehia ofa nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofoma mono'ma hunenteno musema hu knama huhamparinte'naza knaramintera kresramna nevu'za musenkasea hu'naze. Ana nehazage'za mago'a vahe'mo'za, zamagra'a zamavesite'ma Ra Anumzamofoma ami ofanena eri'za azage'za ofa hu'naze.
Langemva kwalokho umnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo, lowekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, lowemikhosi yonke emisiweyo yeNkosi eyayingcwelisiwe, lowakhe wonke owanikela ngesihle umnikelo wesihle eNkosini.
6 Hanki 7ni ikamofona ese knazupa agafa hu'za, Ra Anumzamofontega tevefi kre fanane hu ofa hunte'naze. Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo mono noma agafa hu'za azeri retrure trara zahufa azeri oraoti'naze.
Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesikhombisa baqalisa ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini, kodwa isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi sasingakabekwa.
7 Hanki anante Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'a amne sida zafa Lebanonitira ome erigahaze huno Israeli vahekura hu knare huzmante'ne. E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za ne'zane waini tine olivi masavenena Saidoni vahe'ene Tairi vahe'enena miza sezmantazage'za Lebanonitira hagerimpi sida zafa eri'za Jopa ehanati'naze. Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama havema tagahu vahe'ene noma kisaza vahera zagoa miza sezmante'naze.
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 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama Babiloniti'ma atre'za Jerusalema e'naza knareti'ma egeno 2ma hia kafumofo nampa 2 ikantera agafa hu'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nona ki'naze. Seatieli nemofo Zerubabeliki Jozadaki nemofo Jeshua'ene zamafuhe'za pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'ene, ana maka vahe'ma kinafinti'ma atre'za Jerusalema e'naza vahe'mo'zane eri'zana eri agafa hu'naze. Hanki Ra Anumzamofo mono nonte eri'zama kvama hu'nesage'za erisaza Livae vahera, kafu zamimo'ma 20ti reti'ma menagate'nea vaheke zamazeri oti'naze.
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 Hanki ana mono no eri'zama kvama hu'naza Livae vahera, Jeshua'ene ne' mofavre naga'ane afu'aganahe'zane, Kadmieli'ene ne' mofavre naga'ane Juda ne' mofavre naga'ene, Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofonte eri'zana kva hu'nage'za eri'naze. Ana nehazage'za Henadadi ne' mofavre naga'ene zamafuhe'za Livae naga'mo'zane zamaza hu'za ana eri'zana kegava hu'naze.
Kwasekusukuma oJeshuwa, amadodana akhe, labafowabo, uKadimiyeli lamadodana akhe, abantwana bakoJuda, njengomuntu munye ukongamela abenzi bomsebenzi endlini kaNkulunkulu, amadodana kaHenadadi, amadodana abo labafowabo amaLevi.
10 Hanki nomagi vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamofo mono noma azeri oti tra'ma ki vagamaretazage'za, pristi naga'moza pristi kukena eri nentani'za, ufena enerizage'za, Asapu ne' mofavre Livae naga'mo'za nase'nasepa eri'zage'za, Israeli kini ne' Deviti'ma krente'nea kante amage ante'za Ra Anumzamofo agi ahentesga hunaku oti'naze.
Abakhi sebebekile isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi, bamisa abapristi begqokile belezimpondo, lamaLevi, amadodana kaAsafi, elensimbi ezincencethayo, ukudumisa iNkosi, njengokwezandla zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
11 Anante muse zagame hu'za Ra Anumzamofona agi'a ahentesga nehu'za, Ra Anumzamo'a knare hu'neankino Israeli vahe'motarera Agri avesizamo'a mevava huno nevie hu'za hu'naze. Anagema nehazage'za maka vahe'mo'za zamagerura erinte mago hu'za, ranke hu'za Ra Anumzamofona agia ahentesga nehu'za, susu hunte'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo mono noma azeri oti tra'ma erinte fatgoma hu'naza zanku anara hu'naze.
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 Hianagi hakare'a ozafama re'naza pristi vahe'ene Livae vahe'ene naga nofite'ma ugotama hu'naza vahe'ma, ko'ma me'nege'zama Ra Anumzamofo mono noma ke'naza vahe'mo'za zamagesa antahi'naze. Ana nehu'za mono nomofo tra'ama ki vagama nerazage'za tusi zavi krafa nehazage'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za tusi muse hu'naze.
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 Hanki tusia zavi krafagemo'ene musenkasema haza agasasankemo'enena havia higeno krafamo'a mago avamenteke vige'za, e'i zavi krafa nehazanki, e'i musenkase nehazanki hu'za antahi amara osu'naze.
Ngokunjalo abantu kabehlukanisanga umsindo wokumemeza kwentokozo lomsindo wokukhala kwabantu, ngoba abantu baklabalala ngokuklabalala okukhulu, umsindo waze wezwakala khatshana.
