2 Kwafunyanwa khona umqulu womgoqwa enqabeni yase-Ekhibhathana elizweni laseMediya kulotshwe lokhu kuwo: Umbhalo wesimiso:

3 Ngomnyaka wokuqala weNkosi uKhurosi, inkosi yakhupha isimemezelo mayelana lethempeli likaNkulunkulu eJerusalema: Ithempeli kalakhiwe kutsha libe yindawo yokwenzela imihlatshelo, njalo izisekelo zalo kazibekwe. Kalibe yizingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha ukuphakama, ububanzi bube yizingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha,

Kini ne' Sairusi'ma eri agafa huno kinima mania kafufina, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona ete Jerusalemi kigahaze huno kini ne' Sairusi'a huvempa kea hu'ne. Ana nehu'za ana mono nompina, tevefi kre fananehu ofane, mago'a ofanena hugahaze. Hagi kotazana noma retrure tratamina, have tagahu'za asentegahaze.

Ana mono nonte maka'zama mizaneseta eri'za vahe'ma mizama sezmantesazana, kini ne'mofo nompima zagoma nentafinti eritma mizana sezmantegahaze.

5 Akuthi njalo impahla zegolide lesiliva uNebhukhadineza azithatha ethempelini eJerusalema waziletha eBhabhiloni zibuyiselwe ezindaweni zazo ethempelini eJerusalema; zimele zibekwe endlini kaNkulunkulu.

Ana nehu'za Anumzamofo nompima eri'zama eri zantamima silvareti'ene golireti'enema tro'ma hu'naza zantamima Jerusalemima Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma Nebukatnesa'ma erino Babilonima vu'nea zantamina ete eri'za Jerusalemi vu'za, Anumzamofo mono nompi ko'ma me'nere ome antegahaze.

6 Ngakho-ke wena Thathenayi, mbusi wangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, loShethari-Bhozenayi labaphathisi benu bakulowo umango, sukani lapho.

E'ina hu'negu Yufretisi rantimofo kantu zage fre kazigama kegavama hu'nana gavana ne' Tatenaigane, Setar Bozenaigane, eri'zama tanaza hu'za eneriza vahe'mo'zane mago'zana huo zmanteta zamatrenke'za, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona kiho.

7 Lingaphazamisi umsebenzi wethempeli lelo likaNkulunkulu. Yekelani umbusi wamaJuda labadala bamaJuda bakhe kutsha indlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.

Hagi Juda vahe'mo'zama Anumzamofo mono noma negisnagetma mago'zana hutma eri'zana asevazi ozmantetma, zamatrenke'za Juda mopare gavana ne'ene, Juda kva vahe'mo'zanena zamagra'a Anumzamofo mono noma ko'ma me'nea marurera ete erioti'za kiho.

8 Njalo sengimisa umlayo walokho okumele lina likwenzele abadala bamaJuda ekwakhiweni kwendlu kaNkulunkulu: Izindleko zala amadoda zizabhadalwa ngokugcweleyo yisikhwama senkosi, kuthathwa emithelweni yangaphetsheya kweYufrathe ukuze umsebenzi ungaze wema.

E'ina hu'negu mago'ene huvempa hu'na tamasamisuana, Juda kva vahera zamazahinke'za ana eri'zana enerisageta, Yufretisi rantimofo zage fre kazigama me'nea kumatamimpinti'ma, takisi zagoma zogita kinimofo nompima erintesaza takisi zagoreti, Ra Anumzamofo mono noma kisaza zantera mizase'za neginkeno eri'zamo'a vino.

9 Loba yini efunekayo, amajongosi, inqama, amazinyane amaduna eminikelo yokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu wezulu, lengqoloyi, itswayi, iwayini lamafutha okuyabe kucelwe ngabaphristi eJerusalema, kabakuphiwe nsuku zonke kungaphuthi,

Hanki monafinkama mani'nea Ra Anumzamofoma, Jerusalemima mani'naza pristi vahe'mo'zama tevefi kre fanane hu' ofama hunte'zanku'ma hanagetma, ve agaho bulimakaono rama sipisipi afuro, ve anenta sipisipi afura avre nezamitma, witifi, hagegupi, wainigupi, tine masave nazanku'ma hanagetma, kema hanaza avamente maka zupa zamiho.

10 ukuze benze imihlatshelo ethokozisayo kuNkulunkulu wezulu njalo bakhulekele impilakahle yenkosi lamadodana ayo.

Ana nehinke'za, monafinkama mani'nea Ra Anumzamofona avesisia ofa nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hanageno, nagri'ene ne' mofavre nagani'a kegava huranteno.

11 Phezu kwalokho ngibeka umthetho othi nxa ekhona ozaguqula lesisimiso, kakuhwatshwe uthungo endlini yakhe aphakanyiswe axhonxwe kulo. Akuthi ngenxa yalelicala indlu yakhe ibhidlizwe ibe yinqwaba yenhlabathi.

12 Sengathi uNkulunkulu owenza ukuthi iBizo lakhe lihlale khona, angayichitha loba yiphi inkosi loba ngabantu abaphakamisa isandla sabo ukuguqula umlayo lo loba ukudiliza ithempeli leli eliseJerusalema. Mina kaDariyu ngiwumisile umthetho lo. Kawulandelwe ngokukhuthala.

Nagra Dairusi'na ama huvempa kea nehuanki ama anankea avariri fatgo hiho.

13 Kwathi-ke, ngenxa yomthetho iNkosi uDariyu eyase iwuthumele, uThathenayi umbusi wangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, loShethari-Bhozenayi labasekeli babo bakwenza lokho ngenkuthalo.

Hanki Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kuma'ma kvama hu'nea ne' Tetanai'ene eri'za ne'a Setar Bozenai'ene zanagranema magokama eri'zama eneriza vahe'mo'zanena, kini ne' Dariusi'ma huvempama huno kre'nea avoma hampari'za kete'za, avariri fatgo hu'naze.

14 Yikho-ke abadala bamaJuda baqhubeka ngokwakha bephumelela betshunyayezwa nguHagayi umphrofethi loZakhariya, umzukulu ka-Ido. Baqeda ukulakha ithempeli belandela umlayo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli kanye lezimiso zikaKhurosi, loDariyu lo-Athazekisisi, amakhosi asePhezhiya.

Hanki Juda kva vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono no eri'zana knare hu'za eri'za vu'naze. Ana nehazageke tare kasnampa netre'na Hagai'ene Ido ne'mofo Zekaraiakea knare naneke zanasamike zamazeri hankave netike'za, eri'zana hankaveti'za eri'naze.

15 Ithempeli laqedwa ngosuku lwesithathu enyangeni ka-Adari, ngomnyaka wesithupha wokubusa kweNkosi uDariyu.

Hanki Dariusi'ma kinima manino egeno 6sima hia kafumofona, Adarie nehaza ikamofona 3zupa, ana mono nona kivaga re'naze.

16 Kwasekusithi abantu bako-Israyeli, abaphristi, labaLevi labo bonke ababethunjiwe benza umkhosi.

Ana hute'za maka Israeli vahe'ma, pristi vahe'ma, Livae naga'ene mago'a kinafinti'ma e'naza Israeli vahe'mo'zanena musenkase nehu'za, Anumzamofo mono nona nunamu hu'za erinte ruotge hu'naze.

17 Ukunikela indlu kaNkulunkulu le bapha umnikelo wenkunzi ezilikhulu, inqama ezingamakhulu amabili, amazinyane amaduna angamakhulu amane njalo lempongo ezilitshumi lambili njengomnikelo wesono ka-Israyeli wonke.

Ana nehu'za Israeli naga nofite mago meme huhamprintetere hu'za, 12fu'a ve meme afu avre'za mago mago naga nofi'mofo kumi'ma eri atre ofa hu'naze.

18 Njalo bagcoba abaphristi ezigabeni zabo labaLevi ngamaxuku abo ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, njengokulotshiweyo eNcwadini kaMosi.

Hanki ana nehu'za pristi naga'ene Livae nagara huhampri zmante'naza knare'ma, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi Jerusalema eri'zama eriterema hanagu Mosese'ma krente'nea avontafepima me'nea kante amage ante'za huhampri zamante'naze. (Livitikas-Pristi Eri'zane 8:1-36, Exo-Utirami 29:1-37).

19 Ngelanga letshumi lane lenyanga yokuqala, izithunjwa zathakazelela iPhasika.

Hanki Babilonima kina hu'za mani'naza vahe'ma enaza vahe'mo'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamavareno atirami'nea (pasova) knagu antahimi'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za ese ikamofona 14ni zupa, ne'zana nene'za musenkasea hu'naze. (Ekso-Utiramine 12:1-28)

20 Abaphristi labaLevi babezihlambulule behlanzekile ngokomkhuba. AbaLevi balihlaba izinyane lePhasika elabo bonke ababethunjiwe, labafowabo abaphristi njalo bezihlabela labo ngokwabo.

Hagi pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'mo'za, Ra Anumzamofo avure'ma agruma hu' avu'avaza tro hu'za zamazeri agru hu'naze. Anama hute'za Livae naga'mo'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma ozmahe'ma zamagtere'nea knare'ma, ahe sipisipi afura ahe'za, zamagrare'ene pristi nagate'ene, ana maka vahe'ma Babiloni kinafinti'ma e'naza vahete'enena ofa hu'naze.

21 Ngakho abako-Israyeli ababebuyile ebugqilini balidla, kanye labo bonke labo abasebezehlukanisile emikhutsheni engcolileyo yabomakhelwane beZizwe ukuze badinge uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

Ana nehazage'za megi'a vahe'ma ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za, agru osu tavu tva'ma nehuna zana netreta, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzama amage'ma antesunema haza vahe'mo'zanena, ofama haza afu'mofo ame'a ne'naze.

22 Bathakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa bethokoza, ngoba uThixo wayebagcwalise ngokuthokoza ngokuguqula ingqondo yenkosi yase-Asiriya ukuthi ibancedise emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
