1 Hanki tagrama Jerusalemi rankuma'mofo kegina ete azeri otuna zamofo nanekema Sameria kazigama kvama hu'nea ne' Senbalati'ma nentahino'a, tusi arimpa aheneranteno, Jiu vahe'mota ki'za zokago ke hurante'ne.

Kwathi uSanibhalathi esizwa ukuthi sasiwuvusa umduli, wazonda waze wagcwalelana. Wabahleka ulunya amaJuda,

2 Agra eri'za vahe zamavufine, Sameria sondia vahe'mokizmi zamavufina amanage hu'ne, Zamagra hanavezmima omne Jiu vahe'mo'za na'a nehaze? Zamagrama antahi'zana kuma kegina eri so'e hugahune hu'za nehazafi? Zamagra ana maka ofa Kresramana vunaku nehazafi? Zamagra magoke zage ferupina, kegina huvagare'za nehazafi? Tevemo'ma te fragu vazirami'nea haveramina inankna hu'za eri'za kuma kegina eri so'e hunakura nehaze?

wasesithi phambi kwabakhula bakhe lebutho laseSamariya, “OkungamaJuda lokhu kuthi kwenzani kambe? Kungawuvusa umduli wakho na? Kuzayenza imihlatshelo na? Kuzawuqeda ngalanga linye? Kungakubuyisa na ukuphila ematsheni lawana azinqwaba zengcekeza etshe kanjeyana?”

3 Anankema nehigeno'a, Amoni vahepinti ne' Tobia'a Senbalati tava'onte oti'neno amanage hu'ne, Zamagra na'a tro nehazafi keho, afi kramo'ma ana keginare'ma takau resiana have keginazamia renafe hutregahie!

UThobhiya umʼAmoni, owayeseceleni kwakhe wathi, “Lokhu abakwakhayo, loba nje ikhanka lingakhwela phezu kwakho, lingawudiliza umduli wabo wamatshe!”

4 Hanki anankema hazama nentahi'na, amanage hu'na nunamuna hu'noe, Anumzantimoka nunamuntia antahiramio. Na'ankure ama vahe'mo'za tagrikura ki'za zokago ke hunerantaze. E'ina hu'negu atregeno ana nanekemo'a zamagri'a zamavufare fore hino. Ana hanige'za ha' vahe'zamimo'za ha' eme huzamante'za zamavareza ru moparega kina ome huzamanteho.

Sizwe, Oh Nkulunkulu wethu, ngoba siyeyiswa. Phindisela kubo emakhanda izithuko zabo. Banikele babe yimpango elizweni lobugqili.

5 Havi avu'ava'ma hu'za kumi'ma hu'naza zana keamnea nosunka kumi'zamia eri atreozmanto. Na'ankure keginama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamavufina, zamagra kiza zokago ke hunerante'za Kagrira kazeri krimpa nehaze.

Ungaligubuzeli icala labo kumbe wesule izono zabo emehlweni akho, ngoba bebehlambaza abakhi.

6 Hanki ana nunamuma hutogeta, maka'mota tagu'areti huta hanavetita eri'zana erita, kankamuna rehiza huvaga ronkeno kuma keginamo'a marerino amu'nompi vu'ne. Na'ankure mika vahe'mota mago tarimpa huta eri'za eri antahintahi huteta ana eri'zana eri'none.

Ngakho sawakha umduli wonke waze waphakama okufika ingxenye yobude bawo, ngoba abantu basebenza ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.

7 Hianagi Senbalati'ma Tobia'ma Arapu vahe'mo'zane Amoni vahemozane, Asdoti vahe'ma antahizama Jerusalemi kuma keginama kazigazi huta erita nevuna nanekene, kuma keginamofo ne'onse kankamuma rehiza'ma nehuna nanekema nentahi'za, tusi zamarimpa aherante'naze.

Kodwa kwathi ukuba uSanibhalathi, loThobhiya, lama-Arabhu, lama-Amoni lamadoda ase-Ashidodi besizwa ukuthi ukuvuselelwa kwemiduli yaseJerusalema kwasekuqhubekile njalo lezikhala zazivalwa bazonda kakhulu.

8 Ana nehu'za zamagra Jerusalemi kumate naga ha' eme hunerante'za, eri'zama e'neruna eri'za eri haviza hunaku kea retro hu'naze.

Baceba ukuba beze bazohlasela iJerusalema bavuse uthuli kulo.

9 Ana hu'neanagi tagra Anumzantimofontega nunamuna nehuta, kegavama hu vahera huzamantonke'za feru'ene kenage'enena ha'ma eme hurante zankura kegava hu'naze.

Kodwa sakhuleka kuNkulunkulu wethu sabeka abalindi emini lebusuku ukuthi balindele lokhukuhlaselwa.

10 Hianagi Jiu vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za nehaze, eri'za vahe'mokizmi hankavemo'a hago vagare'za hie. Ana higeno fragu vaziramino'ma hihima hu'nea haveramina rama'a me'neankita eri'zana eri vaga oregahune.

Kusenjalo, abantu bakoJuda bathi, “Amandla abasebenzi asededa, ikanti izibi zisezinengi okokuthi siyehluleka ukuqhubeka ngokwakha umduli.”

11 Ha' vahetimo'za amanage hu'naze, Jiu vahe'mo'za tagrira ke'za antahi'za osu'nesageta, ame huta vuta ha' ome huzamanteta zamahe vaga resanunkeno, ana eri'zamo'a amne zankna hugahie.

Izitha zethu lazo zathi, “Besalibele nje futhi bengakasiboni, bazaqabuka sesiphakathi kwabo sesibabulala siwuphethe lumsebenzi.”

12 Hanki ana vahe'mokizmi tva'onte'ma nemaniza Jiu vahe'mo'za 10ni'a zupa naza agatere'za eme tasami'za, maka asoparegati hara eme huranteke nehaze.

Kwasekusithi amaJuda ababehlala eduze labo beza bazasitshela baphindaphinda besithi, “Lingaze liqonde ngaphi bazalihlasela kuphela.”

13 Anagema hazage'na mago'a vahera huzamantoge'za vu'za, keginamo'ma urami'nea kaziga ome kegava nehazage'na, mago'a vahera huzmantoge'za kankamuma maneterema hu'nere bainati kazitamine, karugru kevene, ati kevene eri'ne'za nagate nagate otitere hu'naze.

Ngasengimisa abanye abantu ngezimuli zabo ezindaweni lapho umduli owawuphansi khona, ezazingeneka lula, behlomile ngezinkemba, lemikhonto langemitshoko.

14 Ana'ma hutoge'za veamo'zama koro'ma hazazama nezamage'na, kva vahe'ene eri'za vahe'ene ana maka vahetamina amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, tamagra ha' vahekura korora osiho. Ra Anumzana hankavenentake huno marerisa Anumza mani'neanki tamagera okanita, tamafuhe'inku'ene ne' mofavre tamigu'ene mofa'nane tamigu'ene a'nane tamigu'ene nonkuma tamigu'ene tamagesa nentahita korora osu hankavetita hara hiho.

Ngemva kokuba sengiwuhlolisisile wonke umumo, ngasukuma ngathi ezikhulwini, lezinduna lakubantu bonke jikelele, “Lingabesabi. Khumbulani uThixo, omkhulu owesabekayo, lilwele abafowenu, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, abafazi benu lemizi yenu.”

15 Hanki ha' vahetimo'zama ha'ma eme hurante kema anakiza nanekema tagrama antahuna nanekea zamagra antahi'naze. Hianagi ha'ma eme hurante nanekema anaki'nazana Ra Anumzamo zamazeri havia higeno hara eme huorantazageta, mago'magomota kegina hu eri'zantirera vu'none.

Kwathi izitha zethu sezizwile ukuthi sasesilazi icebo lazo lokuthi uNkulunkulu wayeselifubisile, sonke sabuyela kuwo umduli, ngulowo kowakhe umsebenzi.

16 Hagi ana knareti agafa huta, amu'nompinti vahera refko hunke'za mago'amo'za kegina eri'zana eri'naze. Hige'za mago'amo'za atine kevene zamimizare'ma nentaniza ha' kukenane, hankone zamazampina eri'ne'za oti'za kegava hu'naze. Hagi ana nehazage'za, erizante'ma ugota hu'za kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'zane ana maka Juda vahe'ma keginama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamefi otitere hu'naze.

Kusukela ngalelolanga, ingxenye yamadoda engangilawo yenza umsebenzi, enye ingxenye yahloma ngemikhonto, lamahawu, lemitshoko lamabhatshi ensimbi. Izinduna zazimisa ngemva kwabo bonke abantu bakoJuda

17 Hagi keginama haza vahe'mo'za mago kaziga zamazanteti eri'za eneri'za, mago kaziga zamazampina ha'za eri'naze.

ababesakha umduli. Labo ababethwala izinto zokwakha babesenza umsebenzi ngesandla esisodwa ngesinye umuntu ephethe isikhali,

18 Ana nehu'za eri'zama eri'za vahe'mo'za bainati kazina atrazageno zamasoparega urami'nege'za eri'zana eri'naze. Hianagi paziveteti'ma ufema neraza vahe'mo'za nagrane mani'naze.

njalo ngulowo lalowo umakhi wayehlome inkemba ilengiswe eceleni kwakhe nxa esebenza. Kodwa indoda yokutshaya icilongo yahlala ikimi.

19 Anama hutazage'na kva vahe'tamine ugotama huzmante'naza kva vahetamine mago'a vahetaminena amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Kegina hu za'za huta vahera afete umani emani huneta eri'zana enerune.

Ngasengisithi ezikhulwini, lezinduna lakubantu bonke jikelele, “Umsebenzi ubanzi usabalele, njalo sehlukene kakhulu omunye komunye kulandela umduli.

20 E'ina hu'negu ina knare'ma ufenkrafama antahisutma, ame hutma nagra mani'nore eme eri tru hiho. Anumzantimo'a tagritega anteno ha' vahetia hara huzamantegahie.

Lingezwa ingabe kungaphi okukhala khona icilongo, phuthumani khona lize kithi. UNkulunkulu wethu uzasilwela!”

21 Hagi anagema hutogeta mika zupa nanteranteti'ma vuno kinagama monafima hanafi'mo'ma ehanatia knare'ma vigeta, kegina eri'zama erita vu'nonana vahera amu'nompinti refko hu'neta mago'amo'za karugru kevea zamazampi eri'ne'za kva nehazageta, mago'amota kuma kegina eri'zana eri'none.

Yikho sawuqhuba umsebenzi ingxenye yamadoda ihlomile ngemikhonto, kusukela emathathakusa kuze kuphume izinkanyezi.

22 Hanki ana zupa mago'ene amanage hu'na vahera zamasami'noe, Eri'zama eri vagama resutma mago mago vahe'moka eri'za vahekane Jerusalemi kumara atreta megi'a ovuta, agu'afi mani'neta kenagera kegava huneranteta, msama hanigeta kuma kegina eri'zana erigahaze.

Ngasonaleso isikhathi ngabuye ngathi ebantwini, “Akuthi yonke indoda kanye lomsizi wayo balale ngaphakathi kweJerusalema ebusuku, ukuze babengabalindi bethu ebusuku, babe ngabasebenzi emini.”

23 Hagi ana knafina nagrane nafuhe'zane nagri eri'za vahe'mo'zane nagri'ma kvama hunenantaza vahe'mo'zanena kukenatia hate otre'none. Makamota ha'zana tazampi me'negeta otreta, tinteganema vunana tazampinke me'negeta vu'no'ne.

Mina labafowethu, lamadoda ayelami, labalindi ababelami kasizange sihlubule izigqoko zethu; ngulowo waphatha isikhali sakhe loba engena emanzini.
