UNehemiya 7
1 Kwasekusithi umduli usuwakhiwe, sengimisile izivalo, abalindi bamasango labahlabeleli lamaLevi sebebekiwe,
Bbugwe bwe yaggwa okuzimba nga n’enzigi ziwangiddwamu, abakuumi ba wankaaki, n’abayimbi, n’Abaleevi nga bamaze okulondebwa,
2 ngalaya uHanani umfowethu loHananiya umbusi wenqaba mayelana leJerusalema, ngoba wayenjengomuntu othembekileyo lowesaba uNkulunkulu okwedlula abanengi.
ne ndyoka nonda muganda wange Kanani awamu ne Kananiya omuduumizi w’ekigo okuvunaanyizibwanga Yerusaalemi, kubanga Kananiya yali yeesigika, ate ng’atya Katonda okusinga abantu abalala bangi.
3 Ngasengisithi kibo: Amasango eJerusalema kangavulwa lize litshise ilanga; besemi kabavale izivalo banxibe. Njalo umise abalindi kubahlali beJerusalema, ngulowo lalowo emlindweni wakhe, njalo ngulowo maqondana lendlu yakhe.
Ne mbagamba nti, “Emiryango gya Yerusaalemi tegiteekwa kuggulwawo okutuusa ng’omusana tegunnakaalama nnyo. Abakuumi nga bakyali ku miryango, muggaleewo muginywereze ddala. Mu batuuze ba Yerusaalemi, mulondemu abanaakuumanga, abamu ku bo bakuumenga mu mpalo n’abalala bakuumenga ebifo ebiriraanye ennyumba zaabwe.”
4 Njalo umuzi wawubanzi inhlangothi zombili, umkhulu, kodwa abantu babebalutshwana phakathi kwawo, izindlu zingakakhiwa.
Ekibuga kyali kinene era nga kigazi naye abantu abaakibeerangamu nga batono, nga n’ennyumba tezinnaddaabirizibwa.
5 UNkulunkulu wami wasenika enhliziyweni yami ukuthi ngibuthanise izikhulu lababusi labantu ukuthi babhalwe ngezizukulwana. Ngasengithola ugwalo lwezizukulwana zalabo abenyuka kuqala, ngathola kubhalwe kulo:
Awo Katonda wange nannumiriza, okuyita abakungu n’abakulembeze, n’abantu abaabulijjo okujja okwewandiisa ng’ennyiriri zaabwe bwe zaali. Ne ndaba ekitabo ekyalimu ennyiriri zaabo abaasooka okudda, ne nsangamu amannya gano:
6 Laba ngabantwana besabelo abenyuka bevela ekuthunjweni kwabathunjiweyo uNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni abathumbayo; basebebuyela eJerusalema lakoJuda, ngulowo lalowo emzini wakibo,
Bano be bantu ab’omu ssaza abaava mu buwaŋŋanguse abaali banyagiddwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni; ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi ne Yuda, buli muntu mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.
