1 Awo ekibinja ky’abasajja ne bakazi baabwe ne bakaayana nnyo olwa baganda baabwe Abayudaaya.
Tsono anthu ena ndi akazi awo anayamba kudandaula kwambiri chifukwa cha Ayuda anzawo.
2 Abamu ku bo ne boogera nti, “Ffe, ne batabani baffe ne bawala baffe tuli bangi nnyo, tulina okufuna eŋŋaano ey’okulya okutubeezaawo nga tuli balamu.”
Ena ankanena kuti, “Ife ndi ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi, tilipo ochuluka kwambiri. Choncho tikufuna tirigu kuti tidye ndi kukhala ndi moyo.”
3 Abamu ne boogera nti, “Twasingawo ebibanja byaffe, n’ennimiro zaffe ez’emizabbibu n’amaka gaffe tuleme okufa enjala mu kyeya.”
Panali ena amene ankanena kuti, “Ife tikuchita kupereka minda yathu, mitengo yathu ya mphesa ndi nyumba zathu ngati chikole kuti tipeze tirigu chifukwa njala yakula.”
4 N’abalala ne boogera nti, “Twewola sente okusobola okusasula omusolo gwa kabaka ku bibanja byaffe ne ku nnimiro zaffe ez’emizabbibu.
Panalinso ena amene ankanena kuti, “ife tinachita kukongola ndalama zoti tipereke msonkho wa minda ndi mitengo yathu ya mphesa kwa mfumu.
5 Newaakubadde nga tuli omusaayi gumu ne baganda baffe, n’abaana baffe baana baabwe, kyatuleetera okuwaliriza batabani baffe ne bawala baffe okubawaayo mu buddu. Abamu ku bawala baffe twali twabawaayo dda mu busibe; kaakano tetusobola kununula bibanja byaffe ebyo kubanga abantu abalala baabitwala awamu n’ennimiro zaffe ez’emizabbibu.”
Ngakhale kuti ndife amodzi ndi abale athuwa, ndipo ngakhalenso ana athu ndi ofanana ndi ana awo, ife tikukakamiza ana athu kuti akhale akapolo. Ena mwa ana athu aakazi atengedwa kale ukapolo. Ife tilibe mphamvu yochitapo kanthu popeza anthu ena anatenga kale minda yathu ndi mitengo yathu ya mphesa.”
6 Bwe nawulira okukaaba kwabwe n’ebigambo ebyo ne nsunguwala nnyo.
Nditamva madandawulo awo ndi zimene amanenazi ndinapsa mtima kwambiri.
7 Ne mbirowoozaako, ne nnenya abakungu n’abafuzi. Ne mbagamba nti, “Muggya omusolo ku baganda bammwe ne mukola amagoba!” Kyennava mpita olukuŋŋaana olunene okugonjoola ensonga ezo,
Nditalingalira bwino ndinatsimikiza zoti ndichitepo kanthu ndipo kenaka ndinawadzudzula anthu olemekezeka ndi akuluakuluwo. Ndinawawuza kuti, “Zoona ndithu inu nʼkumalipiritsana chiwongoladzanja chachikulu anthu apachibale nokhanokha!” Choncho ndinayitanitsa msonkhano waukulu kuti ndiwazenge mlandu
8 ne mbagamba nti, “Twakola kye tusobola okununula baganda baffe Abayudaaya abaatundibwa mu bannamawanga, naye mmwe mutunda baganda bammwe, ffe ne tubagula okuva ku be mubaguzizza!” Ne basiriikirira, kubanga tebaalina kyakuddamu.
ndipo ndinati, “Monga zakhaliramu ife tikutha kuwombola abale anthu amene anagulitsidwa ukapolo kwa anthu ena. Kodi tsopano inu mukugulitsanso abale anu kwa anzawo kuti ife tiwumirizidwe kuwawombola?” Iwo anakhala chete, chifukwa sanapeze mawu oti anene.
9 Ne nyongera okubagamba nti, “Kye mukola si kirungi. Tekibagwanidde okutambula nga mutya Katonda waffe, okwewala okuswala mu maaso g’abalabe baffe, bannamawanga?
Kotero ndinapitiriza kunena kuti, “Zimene mukuchitazi si zabwino. Kodi inu simungakhale ndi moyo woopa Mulungu wathu kuti tipewe kunyoza kwa adani athu, anthu a mitunda inayi?
10 Nze, baganda bange ne basajja bange, tuwola abantu ensimbi n’emmere ey’empeke, naye ekigambo ky’okuggya omusolo ku bantu nga kuliko amagoba kikome.
Ine ndi abale anga ndiponso antchito anga tikuwakongozanso anthuwa ndalama ndi tirigu. Ndipo tiyeni tilekeretu zolandira chiwongoladzanja!
11 Mubaddize leero ebibanja byabwe, n’ennimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu, n’ez’emizeeyituuni, n’ennyumba zaabwe, ne ku misolo gye mu bawooza, mubaddize kimu kya kikumi ku nsimbi, ne ku mmere ey’empeke ne ku wayini omuggya ne ku mafuta.”
Abwezereni lero lomwe minda yawo, mitengo ya mphesa, mitengo ya olivi ndiponso nyumba zawo. Muwabwezerenso chiwongoladzanja cha ndalama, tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta zimene munatenga.”
12 Awo ne baddamu nti, “Tulibibaddiza, so tetuliddayo kubasaba kintu kyonna. Tunaakola nga bw’olagidde.” Kyennava mpita bakabona ne ndayiza abakungu n’abakulembeze okukola ebyo bye baasuubiza.
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ife tidzawabwezera zimenezi popanda kupemphapo kanthu kalikonse kwa iwo. Tidzachita monga mwanena.” Pambuyo pake ndinayitanitsa ansembe ndipo pamaso pawo ndinawalumbiritsa atsogoleriwo ndi akuluakuluwo kuti adzachitadi zomwe analonjezazo.
13 Ne nkunkumula ne nsawo ez’ekyambalo kyange ne njogera nti, “Mukama Katonda akole bw’atyo ennyumba y’omuntu oyo, n’eby’obugagga bwe abimuggyeko, ataakole nga bw’asuubizza. Omuntu oyo akunkumulibwe bw’atyo aleme okusigaza ekintu!” Olukuŋŋaana lwonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina, era Mukama yeebazibwe.” Abantu ne bakola nga bwe baasuubiza.
Ndipo inenso ndinakutumula chovala changa ndi kuti, “Chimodzimodzinso Mulungu akutumule munthu wosasunga malonjezano ake. Amulande nyumba yake ndi katundu wake ndi kumusandutsa mʼmphawi!” Apo msonkhano wonse unati, “Ameni” natamanda Yehova. Ndipo anthu aja anachita monga analonjezera.
14 Ate era okuva mu kiseera mwe nalondebwa okuba owessaza w’ensi ya Yuda, mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Kabaka Alutagizerugizi okutuuka ku mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu ebiri, gy’emyaka ekkumi n’ebiri, nze newaakubadde baganda bange tetwalya ku mmere eyatugerekebwa, eyali eteekwa okuba ey’owessaza.
Ndiponso kuyambira nthawi imene anandisankha kuti ndikhale bwanamkubwa wa dziko la Yuda, kuchokera chaka cha makumi awiri mpaka chaka cha 32 muulamuliro wa ufumu wa Aritasasita, ndiye kuti kwa zaka zokwana 12, ine ngakhale abale anga sitinalandire chakudya choyenerera bwanamkubwa.
15 Naye abessaza abansooka baazitoowerezanga abantu, nga babawooza ekitundu kya kilo eya ffeeza, ne bagattako emmere ne wayini. Naye nze si bwe nakolanga, olw’okutya Katonda.
Koma abwanamkubwa akale ankasautsa anthu. Iwo ankalanda anthu chakudya ndi vinyo ndi kuwalipiritsanso masekeli asiliva makumi anayi. Ngakhalenso antchito awo amavutitsa anthu kwambiri. Koma ine sindinachite zimenezo chifukwa ndimaopa Mulungu.
16 Ne mmalirira okukola omulimu ku bbugwe oyo, nze n’abasajja bange bonna ne twewaayo okukola ne tutadda mu kululunkanira ttaka.
Ndiponso ndinadzipereka kugwira ntchito yomanga khoma la mzinda wa Yerusalemu popanda ngakhale kugulapo munda. Antchito anganso anasonkhana komweko kuti agwire ntchito ndipo sitinafunenso malo ena.
17 Abantu kikumi mu ataano, Abayudaaya abaabulijjo n’abakulu, be baaliranga awamu nange ku mmeeza, okwo nga kw’otadde n’abaava mu mawanga agaatuliraananga.
Kuwonjezera apa, ndinkadyetsa Ayuda, akuluakulu kuphatikizanso anthu amene ankabwera kwa ife kuchokera kwa mitundu ya anthu otizungulira okwanira 150.
18 Buli lunaku ente emu, n’endiga ensava mukaaga n’enkoko nga tezibuzeeko bye byantegekerwanga, ne buli nnaku kkumi ne nfunanga wayini owa buli kika. Wakati mu ebyo byonna saasaba mmere eyali eteekwa okuweebwa owessaza, kubanga abantu baandizitoowereddwa nnyo.
Tsiku lililonse pamaphikidwa ngʼombe imodzi, nkhosa zabwino zisanu ndi imodzi pamodzi ndi nkhuku. Ndipo pakutha pa masiku khumi aliwonse pankakhala matumba achikopa ochuluka a vinyo wa mitundu yonse. Ngakhale zinali choncho, Ine sindinatenge chakudya choperekedwa kwa bwanamkubwa, chifukwa izi zinali zosautsa anthu.
19 Nzijukira Ayi Katonda wange, olw’ebyo byonna bye nkoledde abantu bano.
Kuti zinthu zindiyendere bwino, kumbukirani Yehova Mulungu wanga pa zonse zimene ndachitira anthu awa.
