1 INkosi uDariyu wasekhupha umlayo, basebephenya ezincwadini ezaziqoqwe ndawonye endlini yenotho yesizwe eBhabhiloni.
Enti ɔhene Dario hyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Babilonia nneɛma dedaw akorae hɔ faako a wɔkora nneɛma a ɛsom bo no.
2 Kwafunyanwa khona umqulu womgoqwa enqabeni yase-Ekhibhathana elizweni laseMediya kulotshwe lokhu kuwo: Umbhalo wesimiso:
Na Ekbatana aban a ɛwɔ Mediaman no mu hɔ no na wohuu krataa mmobɔwee bi. Na emu nsɛm ni: Amanneɛbɔ krataa:
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,
Ɔhene Kores dii ade nʼafe a edi so no, wɔhyɛɛ mmara faa Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no ho. Ɛkae se ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan si no wɔ beae a na Yudafo bɔ wɔn afɔre hɔ, wɔ fapem dedaw no so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔkron, na ne trɛw nso anammɔn aduɔkron.
4 kwakhiwe imizila emithathu yamatshe amakhulu lomzila owodwa wezigodo. Izindleko zonke zizabhadalwa yisikhwama sesikhosini.
Abo a wɔasiesie no sononko no mmeaso abiɛsa biara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nnua gu. Na adehye foto mu na wobefi atua ho ka.
5 Akuthi njalo impahla zegolide lesiliva uNebhukhadineza azithatha ethempelini eJerusalema waziletha eBhabhiloni zibuyiselwe ezindaweni zazo ethempelini eJerusalema; zimele zibekwe endlini kaNkulunkulu.
Sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nkuku ne nkaka a Nebukadnessar tase fii Onyankopɔn asɔredan a esi Yerusalem no mu de kɔɔ Babilonia no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de kɔ Yerusalem, de kogu Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu sɛnea na ɛte no.
6 Ngakho-ke wena Thathenayi, mbusi wangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, loShethari-Bhozenayi labaphathisi benu bakulowo umango, sukani lapho.
Na ɔhene Dario de saa nkra yi somae: Mede krataa yi kɔma amrado Tatenai a ɔwɔ asu Eufrate agya ne Setar-Bosnai ne mo mfɛfo ne mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ Eufrate agya sɛ monnkɔ hɔ.
7 Lingaphazamisi umsebenzi wethempeli lelo likaNkulunkulu. Yekelani umbusi wamaJuda labadala bamaJuda bakhe kutsha indlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.
Monnkotwintwan Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si anan mu. Wonsi no wɔ beae dedaw mu hɔ ara, na monntoto Yuda amrado ne Yudafo mpanyimfo anan mu wɔ adwuma no yɛ ho.
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.
Na mesan hyɛ mo bio sɛ, mommoa saa Yudafo mpanyimfo no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ mutua adansi no ho ka nyinaa fi tow a mugyigye fi mo man mu a monntwentwɛn so koraa, sɛnea adwuma no yɛ renka.
9 Loba yini efunekayo, amajongosi, inqama, amazinyane amaduna eminikelo yokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu wezulu, lengqoloyi, itswayi, iwayini lamafutha okuyabe kucelwe ngabaphristi eJerusalema, kabakuphiwe nsuku zonke kungaphuthi,
Biribiara a ɛho hia asɔfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem, sɛ ebia, nantwimma, adwennini ne nguantenmma a wɔde bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsorosoro no, momfa mma wɔn. Afei, momma wɔn atoko, nkyene, nsa ne ngo a ɛho behia wɔn da biara a monnto mu.
10 ukuze benze imihlatshelo ethokozisayo kuNkulunkulu wezulu njalo bakhulekele impilakahle yenkosi lamadodana ayo.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, wobetumi abɔ afɔre a ɛsɔ ani ama ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn, na wɔabɔ mpae ama me ne me mmabarima.
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.
Wɔn a wobebu mmara no so wɔ ɔkwan biara so no, wobeyi wɔn adan so mpuran, na wɔde wɔn abobɔ mu, abɔ wɔn mmaa, ama wɔn afi adwiriw, adan sumina siw.
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.
Onyankopɔn a wayi Yerusalem kurow sɛ beae a wɔnhyɛ ne din anuonyam no nsɛe ɔhene anaa ɔman biara a wobebu ne mmara so, asɛe asɔredan no. Me Dario na mahyɛ saa mmara yi. Ma ɔmanfo ntie no aso pa mu.
13 Kwathi-ke, ngenxa yomthetho iNkosi uDariyu eyase iwuthumele, uThathenayi umbusi wangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, loShethari-Bhozenayi labasekeli babo bakwenza lokho ngenkuthalo.
Na Tatenai a ɔyɛ asu Eufrate agya amrado ne Setar-Bosnai ne ne mfɛfo dii Dario mmara a ɔhyɛɛ no so prɛko pɛ.
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.
Enti Yudafo mpanyimfo toaa wɔn dwumadi no so na asɛm a adiyifo Hagai ne Ido babarima Sakaria kae no hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Na wowiee asɔredan no si, sɛnea Israel Nyankopɔn hyɛe na Kores, Dario ne Persiahene Artasasta hyɛɛ mmara no.
15 Ithempeli laqedwa ngosuku lwesithathu enyangeni ka-Adari, ngomnyaka wesithupha wokubusa kweNkosi uDariyu.
Wowiee asɔredan no si wɔ Abib (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛto so dumien, ɔhene Dario ahenni mfe asia so.
16 Kwasekusithi abantu bako-Israyeli, abaphristi, labaLevi labo bonke ababethunjiwe benza umkhosi.
Israelfo, asɔfo, Lewifo ne nnipa no nkae a wofi nnommum mu aba no de ahosɛpɛw too Onyankopɔn asɔredan no din.
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.
Onyankopɔn asɔredan no dinto afahyɛ no mu no, wɔde nantwimma ɔha, adwennini ahannu ne nguantenmma ahannan bɔɔ afɔre. Na wɔmaa mmirekyi dumien sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde, de gyinaa hɔ maa Israel mmusuakuw dumien no.
18 Njalo bagcoba abaphristi ezigabeni zabo labaLevi ngamaxuku abo ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, njengokulotshiweyo eNcwadini kaMosi.
Na wɔkyekyɛɛ asɔfo ne Lewifo no mu, sɛnea wɔn akuw ahorow te no ma wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu wɔ Yerusalem, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose Nhoma mu no.
19 Ngelanga letshumi lane lenyanga yokuqala, izithunjwa zathakazelela iPhasika.
Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so aduonu baako no, wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no dii Twam Afahyɛ.
20 Abaphristi labaLevi babezihlambulule behlanzekile ngokomkhuba. AbaLevi balihlaba izinyane lePhasika elabo bonke ababethunjiwe, labafowabo abaphristi njalo bezihlabela labo ngokwabo.
Asɔfo no ne Lewifo no dwiraa wɔn ho maa wɔn ho tew maa afahyɛ no. Enti wokum Twam Afahyɛ guamma maa wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no nyinaa ne asɔfo a wɔaka ne wɔn ankasa wɔn ho.
21 Ngakho abako-Israyeli ababebuyile ebugqilini balidla, kanye labo bonke labo abasebezehlukanisile emikhutsheni engcolileyo yabomakhelwane beZizwe ukuze badinge uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
Nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel a wofi nnommum mu aba no ne nnipa no nkae a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu no a wɔadan afi wɔn amumɔyɛ akwan ho abɛsom Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, no na wodii twam aduan no.
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.
Wodii Twam Afahyɛ aduan no, na wɔde nnanson nso dii Apiti Afahyɛ no. Ahosɛpɛw baa ɔman no mmaa nyinaa, efisɛ Awurade sakraa Asiriahene adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ wɔn ho ma ɔboaa wɔn sii Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn, asɔredan no.
