Hagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosese'ma amigeno Israeli vahe'ma zami'nea kasegea Ezra'a antahi ankere'neno, rempi hunezamia nekino, Babilonia atreno Jerusalemi mareri'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agrane mani'negeno'e.
7 Kwasekusenyuka abanye babantwana bakoIsrayeli lababapristi lamaLevi labahlabeleli labalindimasango lamaNethini baya eJerusalema ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kaAthakisekisi inkosi.
Hanki kini ne' Artaserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 7nima hia kafufina, Ezra'ene mago'a Israeli vahe'ene, pristi vahe'ene Livae naga'ene, zagame'ma nehaza vahe'ene, ra mono no kafante'ma kvahu vahe'ene, ra mono nompi eri'za vahe'mo'zanena Ezra'ene Babilonia atre'za Jerusalemi mareri'naze.

Hanki Artaserksisi'ma kinima mani'no egeno 7nima hia kafumofona 5fuma hia ikantera Ezra'a Jerusalemia ehanati'ne.
9 Ngoba ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala waqala ukwenyuka esuka eBhabhiloni, langolokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJerusalema, ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe phezu kwakhe.
Ezra'ma Babiloni kuma'ma atre'neana, ese ikamofona ese zupa atreno, Jerusalemi kumatera 5fu ikamofona ese zupa ehanati'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agrane mani'neno knare hunte'negu huno anara hu'ne.
10 Ngoba uEzra wayelungise inhliziyo yakhe ukudinga umlayo weNkosi lokuwenza, lokufundisa umthetho lesimiso koIsrayeli.
Ezra'a maka knafina agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofona kasegea rempi huno nentahino, ana kasegea agu'areti huno amage ante'ne. Ana nehuno Israeli vahera ana kasegene tra kenena rempi huzami'ne.
11 Le-ke yikhophi yencwadi inkosi uAthakisekisi ayinika uEzra umpristi, umbhali, umbhali wamazwi emilayo yeNkosi lowezimiso zayo kuIsrayeli.
Hagi Israeli vahe Ra Anumzamofo kasegene tra kenena, Ezra'a pristi ne' mani'neno, Israeli vahera rempi hunezamia ne' mani'neankino, kini ne' Artaseksisima huvempama huno mago avoma kreno Ezrama ami'nea avomo'a amanage hu'ne.
12 UAthakisekisi inkosi yamakhosi kuEzra umpristi, umbhali womlayo kaNkulunkulu wamazulu, ukuthula okupheleleyo, langesikhathi esinje:
Nagra hakare'a kuma'ma kvama hu'noa kini ne' Artaserksisi'na ama avona kre'na, pristi ne' Ezraga Anumzamofo kasegema antahini hu'nenka, monafima mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo kasegema rempima hu'nezamina ne'moka kre negami'na, musenke atregantoe.
13 Umthetho umiswa yimi wokuthi wonke ozithandelayo embusweni wami esizweni sakoIsrayeli labapristi baso lamaLevi ukuya eJerusalema angahamba lawe.
Nagra menina huvempa naneke huankino, nagrama kvama hu'noa Israeli vahepi, pristi vahepi, Livae naga'ma mani'nezama kagranema Jerusalemi vunaku'ma hanamo'za, amne vugahaze huzmantoe.
14 Ngoba uthunyiwe yinkosi labacebisi bayo abayisikhombisa ukuyahlolisisa ngoJuda langeJerusalema ngokomlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho osesandleni sakho,
Hanki nagra kini ne'mo'nane antahintahima nenamiza 7ni'a vahe'mo'zane, kagrira hu izo hugantonankinka amne vunka Jerusalemi kumate'ene Juda mopare'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena Ra Anumzanka'amofo kasege avontafe'ma kzampima eri'nana kasegea, amagera nentazafi ome kegahane.
15 lokuthwala isiliva legolide inkosi labacebisi bayo abakunikele ngesihle kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ondawo yakhe yokuhlala iseJerusalema,
Hanki nagra kini ne'mo'nane antahintahima nenamiza vahe'mo'zanena tavesite musezana silvane golinena Israeli vahe'motma Ra Anumzamofona amunanki, erinka vunka Jerusalemima Agrama nemania mono nompi ome anto.
16 lalo lonke isiliva legolide ongakuthola esigabeni sonke seBhabhiloni lomnikelo wesihle wabantu labapristi abanikelela indlu kaNkulunkulu wabo eseJerusalema ngesihle,
Hanki Babiloni kumatmimpinti'ma zogi'nana silvane golinena ana zanke hunka erinka vuo. Ana nehunka Babiloni mopafima mani'naza Israeli vahe'ene, pristi vahe'mo'zama, Ra Anumzazmimofo mono noma Jerusalemima me'nefima, ofama huogu'ma zamavesite kami'naza ofanena eri'nenka vuo.
17 ukuthi uthenge masinyane ngalimali izinkunzi, izinqama, amawundlu, leminikelo yakho yokudla, leminikelo yakho yokunathwayo, ukunikele phezu kwelathi lendlu kaNkulunkulu wenu eseJerusalema.
Hagi ana zagoa kvahu so'e hu'nenka, Jerusalema kagri Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima me'nea kresramna vu itare'ma kresramnama vanana zantamina, ve bulimakaonki, sipisipi afuki, ve anenta sipisipi afuki hunka miza nesenka, ofama hu'zanena witigi waini tinki hunka ana zagoretira mizaso.
18 Lokukulungeleyo wena labafowenu ukukwenza ngesiliva legolide eliseleyo, kwenzeni lokhu ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu wenu.
Hanki ana zantamima miza setenankeno'ma mago'ama mesia silvane golinena Ra Anumzamofo avesi avaririta knare'ma hania zana, kagrane kafuhe'zanena tamagri Ra Anumzamofona hunteho.
19 Lezitsha ezinikelwe kuwe zomsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu wakho, zinikele ngokupheleleyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu weJerusalema.
Hanki Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama erisia zantamima kami'naza zana, erinka Anumzamofo mono nompi Jerusalemi omento.
20 Lokunye okuswelekayo endlini kaNkulunkulu wakho okufanele ukuphe, uzakunika kuvela endlini yenotho yenkosi.
Hanki anama nehunkama, Anumzankamofo mono nompima ante'zanku'ma mago'a hanunka, kinimo'na zagoma nentaza nompinti, zagoa erinka atupa'ma hanana zana miza hugahane.
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,
Hanki nagra kini ne' Artaserksisi'na menina huvempa hu'na huanki Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmimpima mani'netma zagoma kegavama nehaza vahera amanage hu'na neramasamue, pristi ne' Ezra'a monafinka mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo kasege'a rempi hunezamia ne' mani'neanki, Anumzamofo mono noma kinaku'ma mago'a zanku'ma tamantahigesigeta, ame hutma ana zana amiho.
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.
Hianagi ana zantamima amisnazana ama avamena agateretma omiho. Silva 3400'a kiloa agateretma omiho. Hagi witia 13 tausen 500'a kiloa (500 kura) agateretma omiho, ana nehutma waini tina 2000ni'a lita agateretma omiho, olivi masavena 2000ni'a lita agateretma omiho. Hagi hagegura nama'agu avesigahie anama'a amigahaze.
23 Konke okungokomlayo kaNkulunkulu wamazulu kakwenzelwe indlu kaNkulunkulu wamazulu ngokukhuthala, ngoba kungani kuzakuba lolaka phezu kombuso wenkosi lamadodana ayo?
Hanki monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamo'ma mono noma'ama ki'zanku'ma huramante'nia zana kegava hunetma avariri fatgo hiho. E'ina'ma osnageno'a Anumzamo'a nagri kini ne'monane, ne' mofavre naga'niama henkama kinima fore'ma hanaza naga'enena arimpa aherantegahie.
24 Futhi siyalazisa mayelana labo bonke abapristi, lamaLevi, abahlabeleli, abalindimasango, amaNethini, lenceku zalindlu kaNkulunkulu, kakulagunya ukubeka phezu kwabo umthelo, imali eyimfanelo, lemali yendlela.
Hagi mago'enema tamasamisuana antahiho, Pristi vaheteti'ene Livae nagateti'ene zagame'ma hu' vaheteti'ene, mono nonkafante'ma kvama nehaza vaheteti'ene, mono nompima eri'zama eneriza vaheteti'ene, mago'a Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama eneriza vaheteti'enena ruzahu ruzahu takisi zagoa e'oriho.
25 Wena-ke Ezra, ngokwenhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu wakho esesandleni sakho, beka omantshi labahluleli abazakwahlulela bonke abantu abangaphetsheya komfula, bonke abayaziyo imilayo kaNkulunkulu wakho; longayaziyo limfundise.
Hanki Ezraga antahio, Anumzankamo'a tusi'a knare antahi'zana kami'nea antahizanteti, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmimpima keagama refko hu kva vahera zamazeri otinke'za mani'ne'za, ana vahera kva huzmanteho. Hagi mago'a vahe'ma Anumzamofo kasegema antahi so'ema osu'nesaza vahe'ma mani'nesazana kagra rempi huzamio.
26 Wonke-ke ongawenziyo umlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho lomlayo wenkosi, isigwebo kasenziwe ngokukhuthala phezu kwakhe, kungaba ngokufa, loba ngokuxotshwa, loba ngokuthathelwa impahla, loba ngezibopho.
Hanki mago vahe'mo'ma kagri Anumzamofo kasegema amage ontege, kini ne' Artaserksisi'na nagri kasegenema amage'ma ontesia vahera tamagerfa hu'za ahe frisageno frige, ahenatisageno ru moparega vuge, fenozama'a erige, kina huntege hugahaze.
27 Kayibusiswe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabobaba eyakufaka kanje enhliziyweni yenkosi ukucecisa indlu yeNkosi eseJerusalema,
Hanki nagra Ezra'na Ra Anumzana tagehe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamofona muse hunte'na agi'a ahentesga nehue. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kini ne'mofona antahintahi'a azeri otigeno Jerusalemia Ra Anumzamofo mono nona eri avasase nehie.
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.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'a asunku hunanteno, kini ne'ene agri'ma antahintahima nemiza vahe'ene, hankave eri'za vahe'amokizmia antahintahi zamige'za nagrira nazeri so'e nehaze. E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'a nagrane mani'neno hankavea nenamianki'na, Israeli vahepima ugotama hu'naza vahe'a amne zamavare'nugeta Jerusalemia marerigahune.
