1 Hanki ana zupa Mosese kasege avontafepinti ranke hu'za nehamparizage'za mika vahe'mo'za antahi'naze. Hagi ana avontafepina amanage huno krente'nege'za hampri'naze, Amoni vahe'mo'zane Moapu vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo vahe'ma atruma hanafina magore hu'za eofregahaze hu'ne.

Pa tsiku limenelo anawerenga buku la Mose anthu akumva. Ndipo anapeza mawu akuti, Mwamoni kapena Mmowabu asalowe konse mu msonkhano wa Mulungu.

2 Na'ankure zamagra Israeli nagara ne'zane tinena nozami'za, kazusi ke huzmantenogu Balamuna zago ami'naze. Hianagi tagri Anumzamo'a ana kazusi kea eri rukrahe huno asomu hurante'ne.

Paja iwowa sanawachingamire Aisraeli kukawapatsa chakudya ndi madzi. Mʼmalo mwake analemba ganyu Baalamu kuti adzawatemberere. Komabe Mulungu wathu anasandutsa tembererolo kukhala mdalitso.

3 Hagi Israeli vahe'ma Mosese kasegema hamprizage'zama nentahi'za, fegi'ati'ma zamagranema emani'naza vahera agafa hu'za huzmante'naze.

Anthu atamva lamuloli, anachotsa pakati pawo onse amene anali achilendo.

4 Hagi pristi ne' Eliasibi'a Tobiana naga'agino, kora Anumzamofo mono nompima fenozama nentaza nonte kva hino hu'za huhamparinte'naza nere.

Izi zisanachitike, wansembe Eliyasibu anali atasankhidwa kukhala woyangʼanira zipinda zosungiramo katundu za Nyumba ya Mulungu. Iyeyu ankagwirizana kwambiri ndi Tobiya.

5 Ana hu'neankino Eliasibi'a Tobiana huntegeno, Anumzamofo mono nompima ra zantema hunaragintene'za, witi ofama hu zantamine, mnanentake insensine mono nompima eri'zama eneriza zantaminema nente'za, kasegemo'ma huno Livae naga'ma zamihoma hu'nea zantamina, hozafi zama 10ni'a kevuma eritruma hu'nafintima mago kevuma zamiza zantamine, kasefa wainine, masavenema eri'za azage'za nente'za Livae nagamokizmine, zagamema hu vahe'ene, mono no kafante'ma kvama nehaza vahe'ene, pristi naga'mokizmi musezama ko'ma eme anteterema nehaza nona amigeno mani'ne.

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 Hagi ana zama fore'ma hia knafina nagra Nehemaia'na Jerusalemi kumapina omani'noanki, Pesia kini ne' Artaserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 32ma hiankafure Artaserksisina ome kenaku Babiloni vu'noe. Hagi mago knama evutege'na, Kini ne'mo'ma natre'nige'na ete Jerusalemima esugu antahige'noe.

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 Anama hute'na Jerusalemi oge'za nasamiza Eliasibi'a havi avu'avaza huno, Anumzamofo ra mono nompima hunaraginte'naza nona Tobia'na amigeno mani'ne hu'naze.

ndipo ndinabwerera ku Yerusalemu. Kumeneko ndinamva za chinthu choyipa chimene Eliyasibu anachita pomupatsa Tobiya chipinda mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu.

8 Hagi ana kema nentahugeno'a, tusi narimpahege'na, Tobia fenozana ana nompintira maka eri fegi atre'noe.

Ndinapsa mtima kwambiri ndipo ndinataya kunja katundu yense wa Tobiya amene anali mʼchipindamo.

9 Hagi anante vahe huzamantoge'za hunaraginte'naza nona Anumzamofo avure harafi hu'za eri agru hutazage'na, mono nompi zuomparamine ofama hu witine, mnanentake zantamina insensinena ete eri'na anampinka ome ante'noe.

Ndinalamulira kuti ayeretse zipinda, ndipo kenaka ndinabwezeramo zida za mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, pamodzi ndi chopereka cha zakudya ndi lubani.

10 Hagi anahukna hu'na ke'na eri fore'ma huana, hozama vasagazafintira, Livae naga'mozama eri'ga ne'zana, eriza eme ozami'naze. E'ina hu'negu ana maka Livae naga'ene zagame'ma hu vahe'mo'za mono nompi eri'zazamia atre'za mopa zamirega ete vu'naze.

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 Hagi anante kva vahera amanage hu'na zamasami'noe. Na'ahigeta Ra Anumzamofo mono nona tamefira humi'naze. Anagema hute'na Livae vahetamine zavenama aheno zagamema hu vahera ke hutru hu'na, eri'za kankamu zamire zamazeri otitere hu'noe.

Choncho ndinadzudzula akuluakulu aja ndipo ndinawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani Nyumba ya Mulungu yasiyidwa?” Ndipo ine ndinawayitanitsa pamodzi ndi kuwayika mʼmalo awo.

12 Anante ana maka Juda witi zamifinti'ene, waini zamifinti'ene, masave zamifinti'ma, hamprizageno vuno 10nima hia kevua eri'za mono nompima fenozama nentafi eme ante'naze.

Pambuyo pake Ayuda anayambanso kubwera ndi zopereka zawo za chakhumi cha tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta kuti ziperekedwe ku nyumba yosungiramo chuma.

13 Hagi anante pristi ne' Selemianki avontafete'ma ugagota'ma hu'nea ne' Zadokunki Livae nagapinti ne' Pedaiama hu'na huhampari zamantoge'za, ana fenozama ante nona kegava hu'naze. Hagi zamazama huno kegavama hania nera, Matania negeho ne' Zakuri nemofo Hanani huhampri ante'noe. Na'ankure zamagra knare'za hu'za eri'zana eri'naza vaheki'za, kegava hu'neza zamafuhe'ina fatgo hu'za refko huzamisaze hu'na antahinezami'na huhampari zamante'noe.

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 E'ina hu'negu Anumzanimoka ama ana eri'zama eri'noa zankura kagesa antahinamio. Ana nehunka Anumzanimoka mono nonte'ene, mono nompima eri'zama erisaza zama nagu'areti'ma hu'na erinte fatgoma hu'noa navu'navazana Anumzanimoka kagerakani onanto.

Inu Mulungu wanga, mundikumbukire pa zimenezi, ndipo musafafanize ntchito zanga zimene ndachita mokhulupirika pa Nyumba yanu pofuna kukutumikirani.

15 Hanki e'ina knafima zamagoana Juda vahe'mo'za Sabati mani fruhu knarera, waini zafa raga regatati hu'za tima'a eri'naze. Ana nehu'za donki afu'mofo agumpina witi kutamine wainine, grepine, fiki zafa raganena erinente'za mago'a nezantaminena, mani fru kna Sabati zupa Jerusalemi vu'za zagore ome atre'naze. Ana hu'negu ana Sabati knarera ne'zana zagorera otreho hu'na asevazi zamante'noe.

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 Hanki Tairi vahe'ma Jerusalema nemaniza, nozameramine mago'a zantaminena, eri'za mani fruhu kna Sabati zupa Juda vahete zagore ome atre'naze.

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 Anama hazageno'a tusi narimpa hege'na, Juda vahe'mokizmi kva vahera amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, ama havi tamavu tamava'ma hazazamo'a Sabati mani fruhu kna erihaviza nehaze hu'na hu'noe.

Ndipo ndinadzudzula anthu olemekezeka a dziko la Yuda. Ndinawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchoyipa chanji mukuchitachi, kumayipitsa tsiku la Sabata chotere?

18 Tamagrira tafahe'za amanahu zamavu zamava hazazamo higeno, tagri Anumzamo'a tagrite'ene ama rankuma'enena knazana tami'ne. Hanki menima Sabati mani fruhu knama eri pehanama hazazamo higeno Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo'a tusi'a rimpa ahenerante.

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 Hanki kinaga nesegeno Sabatima eofre'negeno, Jerusalemi kuma kafantamina ana maka eriginenkeno Sabatia evute'na erinagiho hu'na huzamante'noe. Hanki ana nehu'na, mago'a zama eri'za Sabati zupama efre zankura kafante'ma kegavama nehaza eri'za vaheni'a mago'a huzamantoge'za kuma kafaramintera kva hu'naze.

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 Hagi zagore'ma nanazama eme netraza vahe'mo'za tareo mago kenage naza Jerusalemi rankumamofo kafantera megi'a emase'naze.

Choncho kamodzi kapena kawiri anthu amalonda ndi anthu ogulitsa katundu osiyanasiyana ankagona usiku wonse kunja kwa Yerusalemu.

21 Hianagi ana vahe'ma nezamage'na amanage hu'na hankave kea hu'noe, na'ahigetma kuma keginamofo megi'a emase'naze. Hagi amanahu zama henka'anema hanazana, tamazeri'na kina huramantegahue. Hagi anankema hu'noreti'ma agafama hiana ana vahe'mo'za mago'ene e'za Sabati zupa nanazana zagorera eme otre'naze.

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 Anante Sabati knagu'ma ruotage hu'ne hu'zama antahinagura, Livae nagara huzamante'na tamagra'a tamazeri agru huteta vuta kuma kegina kafantera kva hiho hu'na huzamante'noe. Hagi Anumzanimoka ama ana avu'ava zama tro'ma hu'noa zankura kagesa antahinamio, ana nehunka vagaore kavesi zanteti, zamavesi zamante vava hugahue hunkama hu'nana keka'a amage antenka kasunku hunanto.

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 Hagi ana knafima koana, mago'a Juda vene'ne naga'mo'za Astoti kumatetiki, Amoni kumatetiki, Moapu kumatetiki hu'za a'nea eri'naze.

Masiku amenewo ndinaonanso anthu a ku Yuda amene anakwatira akazi ochokera ku Asidodi, Amoni ndi Mowabu.

24 Hagi mago'a mofavre nagazamimo'za, Astoti vahe zamagerura antahi'neza zamagerura ru'naze. Ana nehazage'za mago'amo'za ruga'a vahe zamageru ru'naze. Hianagi Juda vahe zamagerura oru'naze.

Theka la ana awo linkayankhula chiyankhulo cha Asidodi kapena chiyankhulo chimodzi cha anthu ena, ndipo sankathanso kuyankhula chiyankhulo cha Ayuda.

25 Hagi ana vahera zamazeri koneri'na kazusi ke huzamante'noe. Mago'a nagara sefu nezami'na zamazokara eri varare'noe. Hagi Anumzamofo agifi huvempa kea amanage hiho hu'na huzmante'noe. Tamagra ne' mofavretamirera megi'ati a'nenea zamavare ozamigahaze. Ana zanke huta mofa'netamia zamatresage'za megi'a vene'nea e'origahaze.

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 Hige'na amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Solomoni'a Israeli kini ne' mani'neanagi agranena a'neneramima erino amanahu kumi'ma hu'neana ontahi'nazo? Ama mopafima me'nea kumatmimpina magore huno Solomonikna kini nera omani'ne. Agri Anumzamo'a avesinteno kinia azeri otigeno, ana maka Israeli mopa kegava hu'ne. Hianagi megi'ati'ma eri'nea a'nemo'za avre'za kumipina vu'naze.

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 Hagi ana havi tamavu tamava zama tagrama amage'ma anteta, megi'ati a'nenema erisunana, tagra Ra Anumzamofonkea rutagreta, tusi'a kumi hugahune. Hagi tamagrama antahi'zana tagrikura ana hanaze hutma nentahizafi?

Kodi tsopano ife tizimva inu kuti mukuchita choyipa chachikulu chimenechi, kupandukira Yehova Mulungu wathu pomakwatira akazi achilendo?”

28 Hagi pristi ne' Eliasibi nemofo Jehoiada ne'mofavre nagapinti mago'mo, Heroni kumateti ne' Sanbalati mofa ara erineanki'na, ana nera ahe'na rotago hugeno fre'ne.

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 Ana hu'negu Anumzanimoka pristi vahe'mo'zama hu'naza havi zamavu zamava zankura kaganera okanino. Na'ankure zamagra pristi vahe'ene Livae naga'enema huhagerafi'nana kasegea runetagre'za zamagra'a zamazeri haviza hu'naze.

Inu Mulungu wanga, mukumbukire mmene iwo anayipitsira unsembe, pangano la unsembe komanso la Alevi.

30 E'ina hu'negu megi'a zantamimo'ma zamazeri pehanama hu'neana zamazeri agru hu'noe. Ana hute'na Livae naga'ene pristi nagara eri'za zamire huhampari zamantetere hu'noe.

Motero ndinayeretsa ansembe ndi Alevi powachotsera kalikonse kachilendo. Ndipo ndinakhazikitsa ntchito zawo, kuti aliyense akhale pa ntchito yake.

31 Nagra anazanke hu'na, mago mago zupama tevema hare'zama kresramnama vu itare'ma esnaza vahe'ene, ese ne'zama hozafinti'ma hamare'za eri'za esaza vahe'ene, ese zafa rgama tagisaza zama Ra Mono nompima eriza esaza vahe'enena huhampari zamante'noe. Ana maka zama hu'noa zanku antahi nenaminka Anumzanimoka nazeri so'e hunanto.

Ndiponso kupereka nkhuni ndi zipatso zoyamba kucha pa nthawi yake. Ndikumbukireni pondikomera mtima, Inu Mulungu wanga.
