1 Hanki Judane Benzameni naga'mokizmi ha' vahe'mo'zama antahizama, kinafinti'ma atre'za e'naza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo mono noma ete eme negize nanekema nentahi'za,

Kwathi izitha zakoJuda loBhenjamini sezizwile ukuthi abantwana bokuthunjwa babesakhela iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ithempeli,

2 zamagra Zerubabelinte'ene Israeli naga nofite'ma ugagotama hu'naza vahete vu'za amanage hu'naze, Asiria kini ne' Esarhadoni'ma tavreno ama mopafima eme tantegetama mani'nonteti'ma eno meninte'ma eana, tamagrama nehazaza huta tamagri Anumzantera monora hunenteta, Kresramana vunentonanki, tatrenketa tamaza huta mono nona kimaneno.

basebesondela kuZerubhabheli lenhlokweni zaboyise bathi kibo: Kasakhe lani, ngoba siyamdinga uNkulunkulu wenu njengani, samhlabela kusukela ensukwini zikaEsarihadoni inkosi yeAsiriya owasenyusela lapha.

3 Hianagi Zerubabeli'ene Jeshua'ene Israeli naga nofite'ma ugota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'zanena amanage hu'za zamasami'naze, tagri Ra Anumzamofo mono nona taza huta onkigahaze. Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma hurante'nea kante amage anteta, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamofo mono nona tagrake'za kigahune.

Kodwa uZerubhabheli loJeshuwa lezinye inhloko zaboyise zakoIsrayeli bathi kibo: Kayisikho kwenu lathi ukwakhela uNkulunkulu wethu indlu, kodwa yithi sodwa esizakwakhela iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli njengokusilaya kwenkosi uKoresi inkosi yePerisiya.

4 Hagi anagema hazage'za ana mopafima ko'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za, Juda vahera zamarimpa eri haviza hu naneke nehu'za, mono no onkisazegu zamazeri koro hu naneke agafa hu'za hu'naze.

Kwasekusithi abantu balelolizwe badondisa izandla zabantu bakoJuda, babesabisa ekwakheni.

5 Ana nehu'za Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma kinima manino egeno, Dariusi'ma agri noma erino kinima efore'ma hia knare'ma ege'za, Juda vahera antahintahi zami'za erizazmia eri savri hanazegu, Pesia kamani eri'za vahera masave hu kazigati zago zamiza zamavare'naze.

Basebebaqhatshela abeluleki ukufubisa icebo labo zonke izinsuku zikaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya, kwaze kwaba sekubuseni kukaDariyusi inkosi yePerisiya.

6 Hagi Ahasuerusi'ma agafa huno kinima mania knafina, ha' vahe'zamimo'za Judama nemaniza vahe'ene Jerusalema nemaniza vahekura mago havige avonkre'za kini ne' Ahasuerusina ami'naze.

Ekubuseni-ke kukaAhasuwerusi, ekuqaleni kokubusa kwakhe, babhala isimangalelo bemelene labahlali bakoJuda leJerusalema.

7 Hanki henka Pesia kini ne' Artserksisi'ma kinima mania knafina, Bislamu'ma Mitredati'ma Tabeli'ene, zamagranema magokama eri'zama eneriza naga'enenki hu'za, kini ne' Artserksisina mago avonkremi'naze. Ana avoma kre'nazana Aramu zamagerupi kre'nage'za, hamprima amiza vahe'mo'za, Pesia vahe'mokizmi zamagerupi rekrahe humi'naze.

Njalo ensukwini zikaAthakisekisi oBishilamu, uMithiredathi, uTabeyeli labanye abakibo babhalela uAthakisekisi inkosi yePerisiya; lombhalo wencwadi wawubhalwe ngesiSiriya, uhunyutshwe ngesiSiriya.

8 Hagi ana mopama ugagota huno kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Rehumu'ene avoma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsaikea Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'ma keagama huzmante avona amanage huke kre atrakeno Pesia kini ne' Artserksisintega vu'ne.

URehuma umlawuli loShimishayi umbhali babhala incwadi bemelene leJerusalema kuAthakisekisi inkosi, ngalindlela:

9 Nagra gavana kva ne' Rehumu'nane, avoma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsai'ene, kema refkohu vahe'ene mago'a kagri eri'za vahe'ma tagranema eri'zama eneriza vahe'ene, Ereki vahe'ma Babiloni mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene, Elamu vahe'ma Susa ran kumate'ma nemaniza vahe'ene,

Khonokho uRehuma umlawuli loShimishayi umbhali labanye babangane babo, amaDinayi, amaAfarisathiki, amaTharipheli, amaAfarisi, amaArikhevi, amaBhabhiloni, amaShushaniki, amaDehavi, amaElamu,

10 ko'ma hanavenentake kini ne' Asurbanipali'ma mago'a vahe'ma zamavareno Sameria ran kumapima eme zamantege'zama nemaniza vahe'ene, Yufretisi timofo kantu kazigama nemaniza vahe'mo'zane, ama avona kre atronkeno kagritega nevie.

lezinye izizwe uAsinaphari omkhulu lodumileyo azithumbayo wazihlalisa emzini ongoweSamariya, lezinye phetsheya komfula, lakhathesi.

11 Hanki anama kremi'naza avona amanage hu'za kremi'naze, Kini ne' Artserksisiga kagri eri'zama eneruna vahe'ma Yufretisi timofo kantu kazigama nemanuna vahe'mota musenkea atrenegantone.

Le yikhophi yencwadi abayithumeza kuye, kuAthakisekisi inkosi: Izinceku, amadoda anganeno komfula, langesikhathi esinje.

12 Kinimoka amana nanekea antahio, Juda vahe'ma kagri kumatmimpima mani'nareti'ma atre'za aza vahe'mo'za ko'ma Jerusalemi kumapima mani'ne'za kema nontahi'za, havi zmavu'avazama hu'naza vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi ran kumapina nona eme ki'naze. Noma azeri oti'za tra'ama kivagama nere'za, ku'ma kegina hago huvagare'za nehaze.

Kakwaziwe enkosini ukuthi amaJuda enyuka evela kuwe esiza kithi asefikile eJerusalema, ayawakha lowomuzi ovukelayo lomubi, aseqedisa imiduli, avuselela izisekelo.

13 E'ina hu'negu kinimoka amagea antahio, ama ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi ran kuma'ma keginama huvagaresu'za takisi zagoa onkamigahaze. Ana hanageno'a zagoma nentana nompina zagoa omnena zagogura atupa hugahane.

Khathesi kakwaziwe enkosini ukuthi uba lumuzi usakhiwa lemiduli iphele, kabayikupha umthelo, imali eyimfanelo, lemali yendlela, futhi uzalimaza isikhwama samakhosi.

14 Kagrama maka zampima tazama nehana zanku tagesa nentahita, vahe'mo'zama kagri'ma kagefenkamima atre'zankura tavenosigeta ana kazigati kinimoka amana nanekea negasamune.

Khathesi njengoba sisidla itswayi etswayini lesigodlo njalo kakusifanelanga ukuthi sibone ihlazo lenkosi, ngakho sithumele sayazisa inkosi;

15 Kafahe'za ko'ma tro hu'naza zama krente'naza avontafepima kesanana, Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'mo'za kea ontahi vahe mani'neza, kini vahera ha renezmantazage'za, e'i ana zamavuzmava zanku kumazmia eme eri havizantfa hageno vahera omanitfa hu'naza kuma me'ne.

ukuze kuhlolwe egwalweni lwezindaba zaboyihlo. Ngakho uzathola egwalweni lwezindaba, wazi ukuthi lumuzi ungumuzi ovukelayo, olimazayo emakhosini lemazweni, benza ukuhlamuka phakathi kwawo kwasezinsukwini zekadeni. Ngakho lumuzi wachithwa.

16 E'ina hu'negu kinimoka ama'na nanekea negasamune, zamagrama Jerusalemi ran kuma'ma eriso'ema nehu'za, kuma keginama huvagama resnagenka, Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmina mago'ene kegava osugahane.

Siyayazisa inkosi ukuthi uba lumuzi usakhiwa, lemiduli yawo iphele, ngalokho kawuyikuba lesabelo nganeno komfula.

17 Hanki kinimo'ma ana avoma keteno'a, amanage huno nona'a avona kre atre'ne. Kavana ne' Rehumugane avontafe'ma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsaigane Sameriama mani'ne'za eri'zama zamazama nehaza vahe'ene, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama nemaniza vahera musenke atreramantoe.

Inkosi yathuma impendulo kuRehuma umlawuli loShimishayi umbhali labanye babangane babo abahlala eSamariya labanye abaphetsheya komfula: Ukuthula, langesikhathi esinje.

18 Hanki tamagrama kre atre'naza avona nagri navure hamprite'za rekrahe hazage'na antahi'noe.

Incwadi elayithumela kithi ifundiwe ngokucacileyo phambi kwami.

19 Anama hute'na eri'za vahe huge'za, korapa'ma fore'ma hu'nea zama krente'naza avontafepima hake'zama ke'nazana, ko'ma maniza enazaregatira kini vahe'mofo kema ontahino zamagorgama omani zamavu'zmava zamo'a meno e'nea vahe mani'naze. Hankino meninena tamagerfa huno havi vaheke ana kumapina avite'naze.

Umlayo wasubekwa yimi, basebedinga bathola ukuthi kusukela ensukwini zendulo lumuzi uziphakamisele amakhosi, lomvukela lokuhlamuka kwenziwe phakathi kwawo.

20 Hanki korapara hankave kini vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumara kegava nehu'za, Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmina maka kva huzmante'nage'za, ruzante ruzante takisi zagoa zami'naze.

Kwake kwaba khona amakhosi alamandla phezu kweJerusalema ayebusa phezu kwakho konke ngaphetsheya komfula; lomthelo, imali eyimfanelo, lemali yendlela kwaphiwa wona.

21 E'ina hu'negu ana vahera hanavetita zamasaminke'za Jerusalemi rankuma'ma eri oti'zama negi'za zana atre'za amne mani'nesage'na, nagrake hu izo huge, i'o hu'na anazantera hugahue.

Khathesi bekani umthetho ukwenza ukuthi lababantu bayekele ukuze lumuzi ungakhiwa kuze kwenziwe umthetho yimi.

22 Hanki tamarga ame huta vutma ome ke hinke'za ana eri'zana e'ori atreho. Na'ankure tamagrama anama osnage'zama, zamagrama ome knare'ma hanageta tagra kegava huzmantegara osugahune.

Njalo qaphelani ukuthi lingayekethisi ekwenzeni lokhu. Kungani ukonakala kuzakhula kukho ukulinyazwa kwamakhosi?

23 Hanki kini ne' Artserksisi'ma krema atre'nea avona eri'za vu'za, gavana ne' Rehumune, avontafe kre eri'zama eneria ne' Simsainte'ene, magoka eri'zama eneriza vahete'ene ana avona ome hamprizami'naze. Anama hazage'za ha'zana eri'ne'za ame hu'za Jerusalemi vu'za Juda vahemota nona onkita atreho hu'za hanaveti'za ome huzmante'naze.

Khonokho, kusukela ikhophi yencwadi kaAthakisekisi inkosi isifundiwe phambi kwaboRehuma loShimishayi umbhali labangane babo, baya masinyane eJerusalema kumaJuda, babenza bayekela ngengalo lamandla.

24 Anante Juda vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma Jerusalema negiza eri'zana e'ori'za atrageno me'no eno, Pesia kini ne' Dariusi'ma kinima manino egeno nampa 2ma hia kafure ehanati'ne.

Khonokho wema umsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema; wasusima kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wesibili wokubusa kukaDariyusi inkosi yePerisiya.
