Nehemia 5
1 Zvino kwakava nokuchema kukuru kwavarume navakadzi vavo pamusoro pehama dzavo vaJudha.
Awo ekibinja ky’abasajja ne bakazi baabwe ne bakaayana nnyo olwa baganda baabwe Abayudaaya.
2 Nokuti vamwe vakati, “Isu navanakomana navanasikana vedu tiri vazhinji; kuti tidye uye kuti tigorarama, tinofanira kuwana zviyo.”
Abamu ku bo ne boogera nti, “Ffe, ne batabani baffe ne bawala baffe tuli bangi nnyo, tulina okufuna eŋŋaano ey’okulya okutubeezaawo nga tuli balamu.”
3 Vamwe vaiti, “Isu takaita minda yedu neminda yedu yemizambiringa uye nemisha yedu kuti zvive rubatso kuti tiwane zviyo panguva yenzara.”
Abamu ne boogera nti, “Twasingawo ebibanja byaffe, n’ennimiro zaffe ez’emizabbibu n’amaka gaffe tuleme okufa enjala mu kyeya.”
4 Vamwezve vakati, “Takatozokwereta mari kuti tiripe mutero wamambo weminda yedu neminda yemizambiringa.
N’abalala ne boogera nti, “Twewola sente okusobola okusasula omusolo gwa kabaka ku bibanja byaffe ne ku nnimiro zaffe ez’emizabbibu.
5 Kunyange tiri venyama imwe uye tiri veropa rimwe savanhu venyika yedu, uye kunyange vanakomana vedu vakangofanana nevavo, takaguma taisa vanakomana vedu navanasikana vedu kuutapwa. Vamwe vavanasikana vedu vakatotapwa kare, asi isu hatina simba, nokuti minda yedu neminda yemizambiringa yava yavamwe.”
Newaakubadde nga tuli omusaayi gumu ne baganda baffe, n’abaana baffe baana baabwe, kyatuleetera okuwaliriza batabani baffe ne bawala baffe okubawaayo mu buddu. Abamu ku bawala baffe twali twabawaayo dda mu busibe; kaakano tetusobola kununula bibanja byaffe ebyo kubanga abantu abalala baabitwala awamu n’ennimiro zaffe ez’emizabbibu.”
6 Pandakanzwa kuchema kwavo kukuru nezvairehwa izvi, ndakatsamwa kwazvo.
Bwe nawulira okukaaba kwabwe n’ebigambo ebyo ne nsunguwala nnyo.
7 Zvino ndakazvirangarira mupfungwa dzangu ipapo ndikatsiura vakuru navabati ndikati kwavari, “Imi muri kureva mhindu kuvanhu venyika yenyu!” Saka ndakavakoka kumusangano mukuru kuti ndivarayire
Ne mbirowoozaako, ne nnenya abakungu n’abafuzi. Ne mbagamba nti, “Muggya omusolo ku baganda bammwe ne mukola amagoba!” Kyennava mpita olukuŋŋaana olunene okugonjoola ensonga ezo,
8 uye ndikati, “Napataigona napo takadzikinura hama dzedu dzechiJudha avo vakanga vatengeswa kune vedzimwe ndudzi. Zvino imi mava kutengesa hama dzenyu, kuti dzigotengeswazve kwatiri here?” Vakanyarara nokuti vakashayiwa chokutaura.
ne mbagamba nti, “Twakola kye tusobola okununula baganda baffe Abayudaaya abaatundibwa mu bannamawanga, naye mmwe mutunda baganda bammwe, ffe ne tubagula okuva ku be mubaguzizza!” Ne basiriikirira, kubanga tebaalina kyakuddamu.
9 Saka ndakaenderera mberi ndikati, “Zvamunoita hazvina kunaka. Ko, hamaifanira kufamba mukutya Mwari wedu here kuti vavengi vedu vechihedheni varege kutishora.
Ne nyongera okubagamba nti, “Kye mukola si kirungi. Tekibagwanidde okutambula nga mutya Katonda waffe, okwewala okuswala mu maaso g’abalabe baffe, bannamawanga?
10 Ini nehama dzangu uye navaranda vangu tiri kukweretesa vanhu mari nezviyo. Asi izvo zvokureva mhindu ngazvigume!
Nze, baganda bange ne basajja bange, tuwola abantu ensimbi n’emmere ey’empeke, naye ekigambo ky’okuggya omusolo ku bantu nga kuliko amagoba kikome.
11 Vadzorerei minda yavo nokukurumidza, neminda yavo yemizambiringa, neyemiorivhi, nedzimba dzavo uyewo nemhindu yamunoripisa, chikamu chimwe chete muzana chemari, zviyo, newaini itsva uye namafuta.”
Mubaddize leero ebibanja byabwe, n’ennimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu, n’ez’emizeeyituuni, n’ennyumba zaabwe, ne ku misolo gye mu bawooza, mubaddize kimu kya kikumi ku nsimbi, ne ku mmere ey’empeke ne ku wayini omuggya ne ku mafuta.”
12 Ivo vakati, “Tichavadzorera. Uye hatichazorevi chimwe chinhuzve kubva kwavari. Tichaita sezvamareva.” Ipapo ndakadana vaprista ndikaita kuti vakuru navabati vaite mhiko kuti vagoita sezvavakanga vavimbisa.
Awo ne baddamu nti, “Tulibibaddiza, so tetuliddayo kubasaba kintu kyonna. Tunaakola nga bw’olagidde.” Kyennava mpita bakabona ne ndayiza abakungu n’abakulembeze okukola ebyo bye baasuubiza.
13 Ndakazunzawo mikombero yenguo yangu ndikati, “Mwari ngaazunze saizvozvi kubva muimba yake nemidziyo yake, mumwe nomumwe asingachengeti vimbiso iyi. Naizvozvo, munhu akadai ngaazunzwe asare asina chinhu.” Ipapo ungano yose yakati, “Ameni,” uye vakarumbidza Jehovha. Uye vanhu vakaita sezvavakanga vavimbisa.
Ne nkunkumula ne nsawo ez’ekyambalo kyange ne njogera nti, “Mukama Katonda akole bw’atyo ennyumba y’omuntu oyo, n’eby’obugagga bwe abimuggyeko, ataakole nga bw’asuubizza. Omuntu oyo akunkumulibwe bw’atyo aleme okusigaza ekintu!” Olukuŋŋaana lwonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina, era Mukama yeebazibwe.” Abantu ne bakola nga bwe baasuubiza.
14 Pamusoro pezvo, kubva pagore ramakumi maviri raMambo Atazekisesi, pandakagadzwa somubati wavo munyika yaJudha, kusvikira pagore rake ramakore makumi matatu namaviri, makore gumi namaviri, ini nehama dzangu hatina kudya zvokudya zvaipiwa kumubati.
Ate era okuva mu kiseera mwe nalondebwa okuba owessaza w’ensi ya Yuda, mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Kabaka Alutagizerugizi okutuuka ku mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu ebiri, gy’emyaka ekkumi n’ebiri, nze newaakubadde baganda bange tetwalya ku mmere eyatugerekebwa, eyali eteekwa okuba ey’owessaza.
15 Asi vabati vokutanga, avo vakanditangira, vairemedza vanhu uye vaitora kubva kwavari mashekeri makumi mana esirivha, pamusoro pezvo vachitorazve zvokudya newaini. Kunyange vabatsiri vavo vairemedzawo vanhu. Asi ini handina kuita izvozvo nokuti ndaitya Mwari.
Naye abessaza abansooka baazitoowerezanga abantu, nga babawooza ekitundu kya kilo eya ffeeza, ne bagattako emmere ne wayini. Naye nze si bwe nakolanga, olw’okutya Katonda.
16 Panzvimbo yaizvozvo, ndakazvipira kuita basa iri rorusvingo. Varanda vangu vose vakanga vakaungana pabasa ipapo; hatina kutombotora minda ipi zvayo.
Ne mmalirira okukola omulimu ku bbugwe oyo, nze n’abasajja bange bonna ne twewaayo okukola ne tutadda mu kululunkanira ttaka.
17 Pamusoro paizvozvo, vaJudha zana namakumi mashanu navabati, pamwe chete navaHeti vaibva kundudzi dzakatikomberedza, vaidya patafura yangu.
Abantu kikumi mu ataano, Abayudaaya abaabulijjo n’abakulu, be baaliranga awamu nange ku mmeeza, okwo nga kw’otadde n’abaava mu mawanga agaatuliraananga.
18 Zuva rimwe nerimwe ndaigadzirirwa nzombe imwe, makwai akaisvonaka matanhatu nehuku, uye pagumi roga ramazuva ndaipiwa waini zhinji dzemhando dzose. Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, handina kumbokumbira zvokudya zvomubati, nokuti mitoro yakanga yakatakudzwa vanhu ava yairema kwazvo.
Buli lunaku ente emu, n’endiga ensava mukaaga n’enkoko nga tezibuzeeko bye byantegekerwanga, ne buli nnaku kkumi ne nfunanga wayini owa buli kika. Wakati mu ebyo byonna saasaba mmere eyali eteekwa okuweebwa owessaza, kubanga abantu baandizitoowereddwa nnyo.
19 Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirangarirei henyu nenyasha, nokuda kwezvose zvandakaitira vanhu ava.
Nzijukira Ayi Katonda wange, olw’ebyo byonna bye nkoledde abantu bano.
