UNehemiya 8
1 Bonke abantu basebebuthana njengamuntu munye egcekeni eliphambi kwesango lamanzi; bakhuluma kuEzra umbhali ukuletha ugwalo lomlayo kaMozisi, iNkosi eyayiwulaye uIsrayeli.
ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa hyiaa wɔ wɔn nsuseneeɛ ɛpono no ano. Ɔmanfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Ɛsra a ɔyɛ mmara no kyerɛkyerɛni sɛ ɔnkenkan Mose mmara a Awurade ahyɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nni so no.
2 UEzra umpristi wasewuletha umlayo phambi kwebandla, kusukela kowesilisa kusiya kowesifazana, laye wonke owaqedisisa ukuzwa, ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesikhombisa.
Enti, bosome Tisri (bɛyɛ Ahinime) da a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, ɔsɔfoɔ Ɛsra de krataa mmobɔeɛ a mmara no wɔ mu no baa badwa no a mmarima ne mmaa ne mmɔfra a wɔanyini te asɛm ase no anim.
3 Wasebala kuwo phambi kwegceke eliphambi kwesango lamanzi kusukela emadabukakusa kwaze kwaba semini enkulu, phambi kwabesilisa labesifazana labaqedisisayo; lendlebe zabo bonke abantu zazingasegwalweni lomlayo.
Ɔde nʼani kyerɛɛ adwaberem wɔ nsuseneeɛ ɛpono no ano, firi anɔpahema kɔsii owigyinaeɛ kenkanee mmara no den, maa obiara a ɔte aseɛ no teeɛ. Ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa wɛnee wɔn aso, tiee mmara no.
4 UEzra umbhali wasesima phezu kwendawo ephakemeyo yamapulanka ababeyenzele loludaba. Leceleni kwakhe kwakumi oMathithiya loShema loAnaya loUriya loHilikhiya loMahaseya ngakwesokunene sakhe; langakwesokhohlo sakhe oPhedaya, loMishayeli, loMalikiya, loHashuma, loHashibadana, uZekhariya, uMeshulamu.
Ɛsra a ɔyɛ mmara no kyerɛkyerɛni no gyinaa apa tenten bi a wɔsi maa saa da no so. Nnipa a na wɔgyinagyina ne nifa so no no din de Matitia, Sema, Anaia, Uria, Hilkia ne Maaseia. Wɔn a na wɔgyinagyina ne benkum so no no din de Pedaia, Misael, Malkia, Hasum, Hasbadana, Sakaria ne Mesulam.
5 UEzra wasevula ugwalo phambi kwamehlo abo bonke abantu; ngoba wayengaphezu kwabantu bonke; lapho eluvula, bonke abantu basukuma.
Ɛsra gyinaa apa no so a nnipa dɔm no nyinaa hunu no. Ɛberɛ a wɔhunuu sɛ wabue nwoma no mu no, wɔn nyinaa sɔresɔre gyinaa wɔn nan so.
6 UEzra waseyibusisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu omkhulu. Bonke abantu basebephendula bathi: Ameni, ameni, ngokuphakamisa izandla zabo; basebekhothama, bayikhonza iNkosi ngobuso emhlabathini.
Na Ɛsra kamfoo Awurade, Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, na ɔmanfoɔ no bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Amen! Amen!” wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔmemaa wɔn nsa so kyerɛɛ ɔsoro. Afei, wɔkotokotoeɛ, somm Awurade a wɔn anim butubutu fam.
7 OJeshuwa, loBani, loSherebiya, uJamini, uAkubi, uShabethayi, uHodiya, uMahaseya, uKelita, uAzariya, uJozabadi, uHanani, uPelaya, lamaLevi basebesenza abantu baqedisise umlayo, abantu besendaweni yabo.
Afei, Lewifoɔ a wɔn din de Yesua, Bani, Serebia, Yamin, Akub, Sabetai, Hodia, Maaseia, Kelita, Asaria, Yosabad, Hanan ne Pelaia kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ a wɔgyinagyina hɔ no deɛ wɔnyɛ.
8 Basebebala egwalweni, emlayweni kaNkulunkulu, ngokucacileyo, bechasisa, bebenza bazwisise ekubaleni.
Wɔkenkan firii Onyankopɔn mmara nwoma no mu kyerɛɛ wɔn deɛ wɔkenkan no ase, boaa ɔmanfoɔ no ma wɔtee twerɛpɛn biara ase.
9 UNehemiya owayengumbusi, lompristi uEzra umbhali, lamaLevi ayefundisa abantu, basebesithi ebantwini bonke: Lolusuku lungcwele eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu; lingalili njalo lingakhali inyembezi. Ngoba bonke abantu bakhala inyembezi lapho besizwa amazwi omlayo.
Na amrado Nehemia, ɔsɔfoɔ Ɛsra a ɔyɛ mmara no kyerɛkyerɛni ne Lewifoɔ a na wɔrekyerɛkyerɛ aseɛ akyerɛ ɔmanfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsu ɛda a ɛte sɛ yei! Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnnɛ yɛ ɛda kronkron wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim.” Nnipa no tee mmara no mu nsɛm no, wɔn nyinaa suiɛ.
10 Wasesithi kibo: Hambani, lidle okunonileyo, linathe okumnandi, lithumele izabelo kongalungiselwanga lutho; ngoba lolusuku lungcwele eNkosini yethu, njalo lingadabuki, ngoba intokozo yeNkosi ingamandla enu.
Na Nehemia toaa so sɛ, “Momfa nnuane pa ne anonneɛ a ɛyɛ dɛ nkɔdi afahyɛ no na mo ne wɔn a wɔnni nnuane pa a wɔanoa no nnidi. Ɛnnɛ yɛ da kronkron wɔ Awurade anim. Monnni abooboo ne awerɛhoɔ, na Awurade mu anigyeɛ no yɛ ahoɔden.”
11 AmaLevi asebathulisa bonke abantu esithi: Thulani, ngoba lolusuku lungcwele, lingadabuki.
Na Lewifoɔ no nso kasaa sɛ, “Hwɛ! Monnsu. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnnɛ yɛ ɛda kronkron” de dwodwoo wɔn.
12 Bonke abantu basebehamba ukuyakudla, lokunatha, lokuthumela izabelo, lokwenza intokozo enkulu, ngoba babewaqedisisile amazwi ababebazise wona.
Na nnipa no kɔdidiiɛ, kyɛɛ nnuane, nomeeɛ, dii dapɔnna no anigyeɛ so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔtee Onyankopɔn nsɛm, tee aseɛ.
13 Langosuku lwesibili kwabuthana inhloko zaboyise zabo bonke abantu, abapristi, lamaLevi, kuEzra umbhali, ukuze baqedisise amazwi omlayo.
Na bosome Tisri (bɛyɛ Ahinime) a ɛtɔ so nkron no, mmusua ntuanofoɔ no ne asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no ne Ɛsra hyiaeɛ sɛ, wɔrekɔ mmara no mu fekɔfekɔ.
14 Basebethola kubhaliwe emlayweni iNkosi eyayiwulayile ngesandla sikaMozisi ukuthi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahlale emadumbeni ngomkhosi ngenyanga yesikhombisa,
Wɔkɔɔ mmara no mu no, wɔhunuu sɛ, Awurade nam Mose so ahyɛ sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ no tena asese mu afahyɛ a wɔrebɛdi no saa bosome no mu no.
15 lokuthi bazwakalise bedlulise isimemezelo kuyo yonke imizi yabo laseJerusalema besithi: Phumelani entabeni lilethe ingatsha zezihlahla zemihlwathi, lengatsha zezihlahla zamafutha, lengatsha zezihlahla zamamiteli, lengatsha zamalala, lengatsha zezihlahla ezilamahlamvu aminyeneyo, ukwenza amadumba, njengokubhaliweyo.
Waka sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ nhyɛ no ho dawuro wɔ wɔn nkuro nyinaa so, ne titire no, Yerusalem nam so aka akyerɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ, wɔnkɔ nkokoɔ so nkɔpɛ ngo dua mman, kranku mman, ohwannua mman, ɛberɛ ne nnua kusukusuu mman, na wɔmfa mmɛbobɔ asese ntena mu, sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ no mmara no mu no.
16 Basebephuma abantu, baziletha, bazenzela amadumba, ngulowo lalowo ephahleni lwakhe, lemagumeni abo, lemagumeni endlu kaNkulunkulu, legcekeni lesango lamanzi, legcekeni lesango lakoEfrayimi.
Enti, nnipa no kɔtwitwaa mman, na wɔde sisii asese wɔ wɔn afie, wɔn adihɔ, Onyankopɔn asɔredan adihɔ anaa adwaberem a ɛwowɔ asutene apono no ne Efraim apono no mu.
17 Ibandla lonke lalabo ababebuyile ekuthunjweni basebesenza amadumba, bahlala emadumbeni. Ngoba kusukela ensukwini zikaJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kwaze kwaba yilolosuku abantwana bakoIsrayeli babengenzanga njalo. Kwasekusiba lentokozo enkulu kakhulu.
Enti, obiara a wafiri nneduasom mu aba no kɔtenaa saa asese yi mu afahyɛberɛ no nnanson mu, na obiara ani gyee yie. Ɛfiri Nun babarima Yosua berɛ so no, Israelfoɔ anni afahyɛ no saa ɛkwan yi so.
18 Njalo usuku ngosuku kusukela osukwini lokuqala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokucina wabala egwalweni lomlayo kaNkulunkulu. Bawenza-ke umkhosi insuku eziyisikhombisa; kwathi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kwaba lenhlangano enzulu, njengesimiso.
Ɛsra kenkan firii Onyankopɔn mmara nwoma no mu wɔ afahyɛ no mu nnanson no mu da biara. Afei, Tisri bosome (bɛyɛ Ahinime) da a ɛtɔ so dunum no, wɔyɛɛ nhyiamu anibereɛ so, sɛdeɛ Mose mmara hwehwɛ no.
