6 UEzra lo wenyuka esuka eBhabhiloni; njalo wayengumbhali oyingcitshi emlayweni kaMozisi, uJehova uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ayewunikile. Inkosi yasimnika sonke isicelo sakhe, njengokwesandla sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe esiphezu kwakhe.
Ezra a si Babilọn bịarute. Ọ bụ onye ọka nʼihe gbasara iwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel nyere Mosis. Eze nyere ya ihe niile nke ọ rịọrọ, nʼihi na aka Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya dịkwasịrị nʼahụ ya.
7 Kwasekusenyuka abanye babantwana bakoIsrayeli lababapristi lamaLevi labahlabeleli labalindimasango lamaNethini baya eJerusalema ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kaAthakisekisi inkosi.
Ụfọdụ ndị Izrel, ndị nchụaja, ndị Livayị, ndị ọbụ abụ, ndị nche na ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ, soro ya jee Jerusalem nʼafọ asaa nke ọchịchị eze Ataksekses.
8 Wasefika eJerusalema ngenyanga yesihlanu okwakungumnyaka wesikhombisa wenkosi.
Ezra bịaruru Jerusalem nʼọnwa nke ise, nke afọ asaa nke ọchịchị eze.
9 Ngoba ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala waqala ukwenyuka esuka eBhabhiloni, langolokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJerusalema, ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe phezu kwakhe.
Ọ hapụrụ Babilọn nʼabalị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ, rute Jerusalem nʼabalị mbụ nke ọnwa ise nʼihi na Chineke nọnyeere ya.
10 Ngoba uEzra wayelungise inhliziyo yakhe ukudinga umlayo weNkosi lokuwenza, lokufundisa umthetho lesimiso koIsrayeli.
Nke a mere nʼihi na Ezra kpebiri nʼobi ya ịmụ, na idebe iwu Onyenwe anyị, na ịbụ onye ozizi nke okwu Chineke nye ụmụ Izrel.
11 Le-ke yikhophi yencwadi inkosi uAthakisekisi ayinika uEzra umpristi, umbhali, umbhali wamazwi emilayo yeNkosi lowezimiso zayo kuIsrayeli.
Nke a bụ ndepụta akwụkwọ ozi eze, bụ Ataksekses degaara Ezra onye nchụaja, na onye ozizi, na onye ọka nʼihe gbasara iwu na ụkpụrụ nke Onyenwe anyị nyere Izrel:
12 UAthakisekisi inkosi yamakhosi kuEzra umpristi, umbhali womlayo kaNkulunkulu wamazulu, ukuthula okupheleleyo, langesikhathi esinje:
Ataksekses, eze na-achị ndị eze ọzọ, na-edegara Ezra akwụkwọ, bụ onye nchụaja, bụrụkwa onye nkuzi okwu Chineke nke eluigwe. Ndeewo!
13 Umthetho umiswa yimi wokuthi wonke ozithandelayo embusweni wami esizweni sakoIsrayeli labapristi baso lamaLevi ukuya eJerusalema angahamba lawe.
Ugbu a, ana m enye iwu ka onye Izrel ọbụla bi nʼalaeze m, ma ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị, ndị wepụtara onwe ha ị soro gị gaa Jerusalem, ha nwere ike ịga.
14 Ngoba uthunyiwe yinkosi labacebisi bayo abayisikhombisa ukuyahlolisisa ngoJuda langeJerusalema ngokomlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho osesandleni sakho,
Eze na mmadụ asaa ndị na-adụ ya ọdụ na-eziga gị Juda na Jerusalem ka ị gaa leba anya nʼiwu Chineke nke dị gị nʼaka.
15 lokuthwala isiliva legolide inkosi labacebisi bayo abakunikele ngesihle kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ondawo yakhe yokuhlala iseJerusalema,
Ọzọkwa, ịga e were onyinye ọlaedo na ọlaọcha ndị a eze na ndị ndụmọdụ ya ji afọ ofufu nye Chineke nke Izrel, onye ebe obibi ya dị na Jerusalem.
16 lalo lonke isiliva legolide ongakuthola esigabeni sonke seBhabhiloni lomnikelo wesihle wabantu labapristi abanikelela indlu kaNkulunkulu wabo eseJerusalema ngesihle,
Tinyere ọlaedo na ọlaọcha nke i nwere ike ịnata nʼala ahụ niile nʼakụkụ niile nke Babilọn, tinyekwara onyinye ihuọma si nʼaka ndị mmadụ, na ndị nchụaja niile, maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ha dị na Jerusalem.
17 ukuthi uthenge masinyane ngalimali izinkunzi, izinqama, amawundlu, leminikelo yakho yokudla, leminikelo yakho yokunathwayo, ukunikele phezu kwelathi lendlu kaNkulunkulu wenu eseJerusalema.
Ị ga-eji ego niile ndị a zụọ oke ehi, na ebule, na atụrụ, na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka, na onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ, e ji achụ aja nʼebe ịchụ aja nke ụlọnsọ Chineke dị na Jerusalem.
18 Lokukulungeleyo wena labafowenu ukukwenza ngesiliva legolide eliseleyo, kwenzeni lokhu ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu wenu.
Ọ bụrụ na ego amapụta nʼime ya, gị na ụmụnne gị ga-eji ya mee ihe unu maara bụ uche Chineke unu.
19 Lezitsha ezinikelwe kuwe zomsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu wakho, zinikele ngokupheleleyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu weJerusalema.
Ngwongwo niile e bunyere gị maka ije ozi nʼụlọnsọ Chineke, buru ha buruo nʼihu Chineke nke Jerusalem.
20 Lokunye okuswelekayo endlini kaNkulunkulu wakho okufanele ukuphe, uzakunika kuvela endlini yenotho yenkosi.
Ma ihe ndị ọzọ nke fọdụrụ nʼihi ụlọnsọ Chineke gị, nke kwesiri na i mere, ị nwere ike site nʼụlọakụ eze mee ha.
21 Mina-ke Athakisekisi inkosi, umlayo umiswe yimi kubo bonke abaphathi bezikhwama abangaphetsheya komfula ukuthi konke uEzra umpristi, umbhali womlayo kaNkulunkulu wamazulu, azakucela kini, kwenziwe masinyane,
Mụ, bụ Ataksekses, na-eziga iwu a nye ndị na-elekọta ego nʼọdịda anyanwụ osimiri Yufretis sị ha, ihe ọbụla Ezra, onye nchụaja, na onye nkuzi okwu Chineke nke eluigwe chọrọ site nʼaka unu, unu nye ya.
22 kuze kufike kumathalenta esiliva alikhulu, njalo kuze kufike kumakhori engqoloyi alikhulu, njalo kuze kufike kumabhathi alikhulu ewayini, njalo kuze kufike kumabhathi alikhulu amafutha, letshwayi elingelasimiso.
Ọ bụladị ruo ọlaọcha dị otu narị talenti, ya na narị akpa ọka wiiti ise, na narị galọọnụ mmanya vaịnị isii, na narị efa nke mmanụ oliv na nnu nʼọtụtụ ọbụla, dịka ọ chọrọ ya.
23 Konke okungokomlayo kaNkulunkulu wamazulu kakwenzelwe indlu kaNkulunkulu wamazulu ngokukhuthala, ngoba kungani kuzakuba lolaka phezu kombuso wenkosi lamadodana ayo?
Ihe ọbụla ọzọ, nke Chineke nke eluigwe chọrọ, ka e mee ha nʼụzọ kwesiri nye maka owuwu ụlọnsọ Chineke nke eluigwe. Nʼihi gịnị ka iwe Chineke ga-eji dakwasị eze na ụmụ ya ndị ikom?
24 Futhi siyalazisa mayelana labo bonke abapristi, lamaLevi, abahlabeleli, abalindimasango, amaNethini, lenceku zalindlu kaNkulunkulu, kakulagunya ukubeka phezu kwabo umthelo, imali eyimfanelo, lemali yendlela.
Ana m enyekwa iwu na ndị nchụaja niile, ndị Livayị niile, ndị ọbụ abụ niile, ndị nche niile, ndị ozi ụlọnsọ niile, na ndị ọzọ niile na-arụrụ Chineke ọrụ, agaghị atụ ụtụ ọbụla.
25 Wena-ke Ezra, ngokwenhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu wakho esesandleni sakho, beka omantshi labahluleli abazakwahlulela bonke abantu abangaphetsheya komfula, bonke abayaziyo imilayo kaNkulunkulu wakho; longayaziyo limfundise.
“Ugbu a, Ezra, ị ga-eji amamihe Chineke gị nyere gị họpụta ndị ikpe, na ndịisi, ndị ga-achị obodo niile dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ nke osimiri Yufretis. Ọ bụrụ na ha amazighị iwu Chineke nke ọma, ị ga-akụziri ha.
26 Wonke-ke ongawenziyo umlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho lomlayo wenkosi, isigwebo kasenziwe ngokukhuthala phezu kwakhe, kungaba ngokufa, loba ngokuxotshwa, loba ngokuthathelwa impahla, loba ngezibopho.
Ahụhụ ga-adịrị onye ọbụla jụrụ idebe iwu Chineke, na iwu eze, ga-abụ ọnwụ, maọbụ nchụpụ site nʼala ya gaa mba ọzọ, maọbụ ịnakọrọ ya ihe niile o nwere, maọbụ ịtụba ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.”
27 Kayibusiswe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabobaba eyakufaka kanje enhliziyweni yenkosi ukucecisa indlu yeNkosi eseJerusalema,
Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna anyị ha, onye mere ka eze kpebie ime ka ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị dị na Jerusalem dị mma ile anya.
28 eyelule umusa kimi phambi kwenkosi labacebisi bayo laphambi kwazo zonke izinduna ezilamandla zenkosi. Mina-ke ngaqiniswa ngokwesandla seNkosi uNkulunkulu wami phezu kwami, ngabutha koIsrayeli inhloko ukwenyuka lami.
Keleekwa Chineke onye nyere m ihuọma nʼihu ndị ndụmọdụ ya, na nʼihu ụmụ eze, bụ ndịisi ọchịchị dị ike. Nʼihi na aka Onyenwe anyị Chineke m nọnyeere m. Eji m obi ike chịkọta ndịisi site nʼIzrel ka ha soro m gaa.
