Nehemaia 9

1 Pea ko eni ʻi hono uofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ni naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaukai, mo e ngaahi kofu tauangaʻa naʻe pani ʻaki ʻae efu.

Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya mu mwezi gwe gumu, Abayisirayiri ne bakuŋŋaana ne basiiba, nga bambadde ebibukutu era nga beesiize enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe.

2 Pea naʻe fakamavae ʻakinautolu ʻe he hako ʻo ʻIsileli mei he kakai muli kotoa pē, ʻonau tuʻu ʻo vete ʻenau ngaahi angahala, mo e hia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

Ab’ezzadde lya Isirayiri beeyawula ku bannamawanga bonna, ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe ne baatula ebibi byabwe n’obutali butuukirivu bwa bajjajjaabwe.

3 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻi honau potu, pea lau ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻi hono vahe fā ʻe taha ʻoe ʻaho; pea ʻi hono vahe ʻe taha naʻa nau vete, pea hū kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.

Ne bayimirira we baali ne basoma mu Kitabo ky’Amateeka ga Mukama Katonda waabwe, okumala essaawa ssatu, n’oluvannyuma ne baatula era ne basinza Mukama Katonda waabwe okumala essaawa endala nga ssatu.

4 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ki he tuʻunga ʻae kau Livai, ko Sesua, mo Pani, mo Katimieli, mo Sepania, mo Puni, mo Selepea, mo Pani, mo Kinani, ʻonau tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.

Bano be Baleevi abaali bayimiridde ku madaala: Yesuwa, ne Baani, ne Kadumyeri, ne Sebaniya, ne Bunni, ne Serebiya, ne Baani ne Kenani, abaakoowoolanga Mukama Katonda waabwe mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka.

5 Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau Livai, ko Sesua, mo Katimieli, mo Pani, mo Hasapenia, mo Selepea, mo Hotisa, mo Sepania, mo Pitaia, “Tuʻu ki ʻolunga pea fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke taʻengata, pea taʻengata: pea fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa ʻoku nāunauʻia, ʻaia kuo fakahikihiki he māʻolunga lahi ʻi he ngaahi fakafetaʻi kotoa pē mo e fakaongo lelei.

Awo Abaleevi, Yesuwa, ne Kadumyeri, ne Baani, ne Kasabuneya, ne Serebiya, ne Kodiya, ne Sebaniya ne Pesakiya ne boogera nti, “Muyimirire, mwebaze Mukama Katonda wammwe ow’emirembe n’emirembe.” “Erinnya lyo ligulumizibwe, litiibwe era ligulumizibwe okukira okusinza kwonna n’okutendereza kwonna.

6 Ko koe, ʻio, ko koe pe, ko Sihova tokotaha pe: naʻa ke fakatupu ʻae langi, ko e langi ʻoe ngaahi langi, mo honau ngaahi tokolahi kotoa pē, ʻae fonua mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ko e ngaahi tahi, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ke fakatolonga ʻakinautolu kotoa pē; pea ʻoku hū kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tokolahi ʻoe langi.

Ggwe wekka, ggwe Mukama, era ggwe wakola eggulu, n’eggulu erya waggulu, n’eggye lyalyo lyonna, n’ensi n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ennyanja n’ebigirimu byonna. Buli kintu gw’okiwa obulamu, era n’eggye ery’omu ggulu likusinza.

7 Ko koe ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, naʻa ke fili ʻa ʻEpalame, mo ke ʻomi ia kituaʻā mei Ua ʻoe kakai Kalitia, pea naʻa ke fakahingoa ia ko ʻEpalahame;

“Ggwe Mukama Katonda, eyalonda Ibulaamu n’omuggya mu Uli eky’Abakaludaaya n’omutuuma Ibulayimu.

8 Pea naʻa ke ʻilo hono loto naʻe angatonu ʻi ho ʻao, mo ke fai ʻae fuakava mo ia ke foaki ʻae fonua ʻoe kakai Kēnani, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Sepusi, mo e kakai Keakasa, ʻoku ou pehē ke foaki ia ki hono hako, pea kuo ke fakahoko ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola: he ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni:

Walaba omutima gwe nga mwesigwa gy’oli, n’okola naye endagaano, okuwa bazzukulu be ensi ey’Abakanani, n’Abakiiti, n’Abamoli, n’Abaperezi, n’Abayebusi, n’Abagirugaasi; era otuukiriza ekyo kye wasuubiza kubanga oli mutuukirivu.

9 Naʻa ke mamata ki he ngaahi mamahi ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻi ʻIsipite, mo ke ongoʻi ʻenau tangi ʻi he Tahi Kulokula;

“Walaba okubonaabona kwa bajjajjaffe mu Misiri, n’owulira okukaaba kwabwe ku lubalama lw’Ennyanja Emyufu.

10 Pea naʻa ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga mo e ngaahi mana kia Felo, pea ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo hono fonua: he naʻa ke ʻiloʻi ʻenau fai fakafiefielahi kiate kinautolu. Ko ia naʻa ke maʻu ai ʻae huafa moʻou, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

Waweereza obubonero obwewuunyisa n’ebyamagero eri Falaawo, n’eri abakungu be, n’eri abantu be bonna ab’ensi ye, kubanga wamanya engeri Abayisirayiri gye baajoogebwamu. Weekolera erinnya eryayatiikirira, n’okutuusa leero.

11 Pea naʻa ke vaeua ʻae tahi ʻi honau ʻao, ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu ai ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi he loto tahi: pea naʻa ke lī honau kau fakatanga ki he loloto, ʻo hangē ha maka ki he ngaahi tahi mālohi.

Wayawula mu mazzi g’ennyanja n’ogalaza ebbali n’ebbali mu maaso gaabwe, ne bayita wakati mu y’oku lukalu, naye abaali babagoberera wabazaaya mu buziba, ng’ejjinja bwe likasukibwa mu mazzi ag’amaanyi.

12 Pea naʻa ke taki ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻaki ʻae pou ʻao; pea ʻi he poʻuli ʻaki ʻae pou afi ke tuku ha maama kiate kinautolu ʻi he hala ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai.

Emisana wakulemberanga abantu bo n’empagi ey’ekire, era n’ekiro wabakulemberanga n’empagi ey’omuliro okubamulisiza ekkubo lye baali bateekwa okukwata.

13 Pea naʻa ke ʻalu hifo foki ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, mo ke folofola kiate kinautolu mei he langi, mo ke foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻae ngaahi fakamaau totonu, mo e ngaahi fono moʻoni, ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni lelei mo e ngaahi fekau:

“Wava mu ggulu, n’okka ku Lusozi Sinaayi n’oyogera gye bali. Wabawa ebiragiro eby’obwenkanya, n’amateeka ag’amazima, byonna nga birungi.

14 Mo ke fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ho ʻaho tapu māʻoniʻoni, mo ke fekau kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi fekau, mo e tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fono, ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki;

Wabamanyisa Ssabbiiti yo entukuvu, era n’obawa ebiragiro n’amateeka ng’oyita mu muddu wo Musa.

15 Mo ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae mā mei he langi ʻi heʻenau fiekai, mo ke fakatupu ʻae vai mei he maka ʻi heʻenau fieinu, mo ke fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ke nau ʻalu ʻo hoko ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ke foaki kiate kinautolu.

Bwe baalumwa enjala wabawa emmere okuva mu ggulu, ne bwe baalumwa ennyonta n’obawa amazzi okuva mu lwazi; n’obagamba bagende balye ensi gye wabalayiririra.

16 Ka naʻe fai fakafiefielahi ʻekinautolu, mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakafefeka honau kia, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau,

“Naye bo bajjajjaffe ne beekulumbaza ne bakakanyaza ensingo zaabwe ne batagondera biragiro byo.

17 Pea naʻa nau talangataʻa, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi mana ʻaia naʻa ke fai ʻi honau haʻohaʻonga; ka naʻa nau fakafefeka honau kia, pea ʻi heʻenau angatuʻu naʻa nau tuʻutuʻuni hanau ʻeiki ke nau foki ki heʻenau nofo pōpula; ka ko e ʻOtua koe ʻoku ke tali teu ke fakamolemole, ʻoku ke angalelei mo angaʻofa, ʻoku tuai ho houhau, pea ʻoku ke angalelei lahi pea naʻe ʻikai te ke liʻaki ʻakinautolu.

Baagaana okukuwuliriza, ne batassaayo mwoyo okujjukira ebyamagero bye wakolera mu bo. Baakakanyaza ensingo zaabwe, era mu bujeemu bwabwe ne balonda omukulembeze okuddayo mu buddu bwabwe. Naye ggwe Katonda asonyiwa, ow’ekisa era ajjudde okusaasira, alwawo okusunguwala era ajjudde okwagala, tewabaleka.

18 ‌ʻIo, hili ʻenau ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ʻuhiki pulu [koula ]naʻe haka, ʻonau pehē, Ko ho ʻOtua eni ʻaia naʻe ʻomi koe mei ʻIsipite, ʻonau fai ʻae ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kovi lahi:

Ne bwe beebumbira ennyana ensanuuse ne boogera nti, ‘Ono ye katonda wammwe eyabaggya mu Misiri,’ ne bakola n’ebitasaana bingi, mu kusaasira kwo okungi tewabaleka mu ddungu.

19 Ka ko koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi angaʻofa lahi naʻe ʻikai te ke liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa: naʻe ʻikai hiki meiate kinautolu ʻae pou ʻoe ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, ke tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala: pe ko e pou afi ʻi he pō, ke fakahā ʻae maama kiate kinautolu, mo e hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai.

“Emisana, empagi ey’ekire teyalekerawo kubaluŋŋamya mu kkubo lyabwe, newaakubadde ekiro, empagi ey’omuliro nayo teyalekerawo kubaakira mu kkubo lye baali bateekwa okukwata.

20 Pea naʻa ke foaki foki ʻa ho laumālie lelei ke akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi hoʻo mana mei honau ngutu, pea naʻa ke foaki ʻae vai kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau fieinu.

Wabawa Omwoyo omulungi okubayigiriza, so tewabammanga manu okulya, era wabawanga n’amazzi okumalawo ennyonta yaabwe.

21 ‌ʻIo, naʻa ke tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha; naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa honau ngaahi kofu, pea naʻe ʻikai fufula honau vaʻe.

Wabalabirira okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, ne batabulwa kintu, so n’engoye zaabwe tezaayulika newaakubadde ebigere byabwe okuzimba.

22 Pea naʻa ke foaki foki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e kakai, mo ke vaheʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi vāhenga [fonua]: ko ia naʻa nau maʻu ai ʻae fonua ʻo Sihoni, mo e fonua ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, mo e fonua ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani.

“Wabawa obwakabaka n’amawanga, n’obawa na buli nsonda ey’ebyalo. Baalya ensi ya Sikoni kabaka w’e Kesuboni, n’ensi ya Ogi kabaka w’e Basani.

23 Pea naʻa ke fakatokolahi ʻenau fānau ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke fakaʻilo ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ke nau ʻalu ki ai ʻo maʻu.

Wayaza abazzukulu baabwe ne baba bangi ng’emmunyeenye ez’omu ggulu, n’obaleeta mu nsi gye wagamba bajjajjaabwe okuyingira bagirye.

24 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ki ai ʻae fānau ʻo [nau ]maʻu ʻae fonua, pea naʻa ke fakavaivai ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, ko e kakai Kēnani, ʻi honau ʻao, mo ke foaki ʻakinautolu ki honau nima, mo honau ngaahi tuʻi, mo e kakai ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻenau faʻiteliha ki ai.

Bazzukulu baabwe baayingira ne balya ensi, ne bawangula Abakanani abaabeeranga mu nsi, n’obawaayo mu mikono gyabwe wamu ne bakabaka baabwe, n’abantu b’ensi zaabwe ne babakola nga bwe baagala.

25 Pea naʻa nau kapasi ʻae ngaahi kolo mālohi, mo e fonua mahu, ʻonau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale naʻe fonu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi vaikeli, mo e ngaahi ngoue vaine, mo e ngoue ʻolive, mo e ngaahi ʻakau fua lahi ʻaupito: ko ia naʻa nau kai, pea mākona, pea hoko ʻo sino, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hoʻo angalelei lahi.

Baawamba ebibuga ebyaliko bbugwe n’ensi enjimu, ne batwala amayumba agaali gajudde ebintu ebirungi ebya buli ngeri, enzizi ezasimibwa edda, n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu, n’ennimiro ez’emizeeyituuni, n’emiti egy’ebibala mingi nnyo. Baalya ne bakkuta era ne banyirira, n’okubasanyusa n’obasanyusanga olw’obulungi bwo.

26 Ka ko e moʻoni naʻa [nau ]fai talangataʻa, pea angatuʻu kiate koe, pea liʻaki hoʻo fono ki honau tuʻa, ʻonau tāmateʻi hoʻo kau palōfita naʻe valoki ʻakinautolu ke nau tafoki kiate koe, mo nau fai ʻae ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kovi lahi.

“Naye tebaakugondera, baakujeemera ne batagoberera mateeka go. Batta bannabbi bo, abaababuuliriranga okudda gy’oli; baakola ebitasaana.

27 Ko ia naʻa ke tukuange ai ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia naʻa nau fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu: pea ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻenau mamahi, ʻi heʻenau tangi kiate koe, naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻakinautolu mei langi; pea naʻa ke foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo taau mo hoʻo ngaahi angaʻofa, ʻae ngaahi fakamoʻui, ʻaia naʻa nau moʻui ai mei he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili.

Kyewava obawaayo eri abalabe baabwe ne bababonyaabonya. Naye nga babonaabona bwe batyo, ne bakukaabirira, n’obawulira okuva mu ggulu, n’olw’okusaasira kwo okungi ennyo n’obaweereza abaabanunula era abaabalokola okuva mu mukono gw’abalabe baabwe.

28 Kae hili ʻenau maʻu ʻae fiemālie, naʻa nau toe fai kovi ʻi ho ʻao: ko ia naʻa ke tuku ai ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea naʻa nau hoko ai ʻo pule kiate kinautolu: ka ʻi heʻenau tafoki, ʻo tangi kiate koe, naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻakinautolu mei langi; pea naʻe liunga lahi hoʻo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻo taau mo hoʻo ngaahi angaʻofa;

“Naye bwe baafunanga emirembe, baddangamu okukola ebibi mu maaso go. Kyewava obawaayo mu mukono gw’abalabe baabwe, babafuge. Bwe baakukaabiriranga nate, ng’obawulira okuva mu ggulu, n’obalokolanga emirundi mingi ng’okusaasira kwo bwe kuli.

29 Pea naʻa ke takitalaʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke ke toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki hoʻo fono: ka naʻa nau fai fakafiefielahi, pea ʻikai tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ka naʻa nau fai angahala ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, (ʻaia kapau ʻe fai ia ʻe ha tangata, ʻe moʻui ai ia: ) ʻonau kalofaki honau uma, pea fakakekeva honau kia, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga.

“Wabalabula okuddamu okugoberera amateeka go, naye ne baba b’amalala, ne batagondera biragiro byo. Baajeemera ebiragiro, ebireetera omuntu obulamu bw’aba ng’abigondedde. Baakunyooma ne bakuvaako, ne bakakanyaza ensingo zaabwe, ne bagaana okuwulira.

30 Ka naʻa ke kātakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi, pea naʻa ke fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻenau kovi, ʻi ho laumālie ʻi hoʻo kau palōfita: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga: ko ia naʻa ke fakatukutukuʻi ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua.

Wabagumiikiriza okumala emyaka mingi, Omwoyo wo n’abayigirizanga ng’ayita mu bannabbi bo, naye ne batassaayo mwoyo, kyewava obawaayo mu mukono gw’abamawanga agabaliraanye.

31 Ka koeʻuhi ko hoʻo angaʻofa lahi naʻe ʻikai te ke fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, pe liʻaki ʻakinautolu; he ko e ʻOtua angalelei mo angaʻofa koe.

Naye olw’okusaasira kwo okungi, tewabaviirako ddala so tewabaleka, kubanga oli Katonda ow’ekisa era ajjudde okusaasira.

32 Pea ko eni, ʻE homau ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua lahi, mo mālohi, mo fakamanavahē, ʻa koe ʻoku ke tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e angaʻofa, ʻoua naʻa hangē ia ko ha meʻa siʻi kiate koe, ʻae ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo hoko kiate kimautolu, pea ki homau ngaahi tuʻi, ki homau houʻeiki, pea ki homau kau taulaʻeiki, pea ki homau kau palōfita, pea ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē, talu ʻae kuonga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

“Kale nno, Ayi Katonda waffe, omukulu ow’ekitiibwa, Katonda ow’entiisa, akuuma endagaano ye ey’okwagala, toganya bizibu bino byonna kututuukako: ebizibu ebyatuuka ne ku bakabaka baffe, ne ku bakulembeze baffe, ne ku bakabona baffe, ne ku bannabbi baffe, ne ku bajjajjaffe, ne ku bantu bo bonna okuva mu biro ebya bakabaka b’e Bwasuli n’okutuusa leero.

33 Ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ke tonuhia koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fakahoko kiate kimautolu: he kuo ke fai totonu koe, ka naʻe fai angakovi ʻakimautolu:

Mu byonna ebitutuukako, wali wa bwenkanya, era omwesigwa naye ffe nga tukola bibi byereere.

34 Pea naʻe ʻikai tauhi hoʻo fono ʻe homau ngaahi tuʻi, mo homau ngaahi houʻeiki, mo homau kau taulaʻeiki, pe ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai, pe tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, mo hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia naʻa ke valoki ʻaki kiate kinautolu.

35 He naʻe ʻikai te nau tauhi koe ʻi honau puleʻanga, pea ʻi he ngaahi angalelei ʻaia naʻa ke foaki kiate kinautolu, pea ʻi he fonua lahi mo mahu ʻaia naʻa ke foaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki mei heʻenau ngaahi ngāue angakovi.

Ne bwe baali mu bwakabaka bwabwe, nga basanyuka nnyo, mu nsi engazi era enjimu, tebaakuweerezanga newaakubadde okukyuka okuleka amakubo gaabwe amabi.

36 Vakai, ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu he ʻaho ni, pea ko e fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai ke nau kai hono fua ʻo ia mo hono lelei, vakai ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu ʻi ai:

Olw’ebibi byaffe, ebikungulwa eby’ensi eyo ebingi bitwalibwa bakabaka be wassaawo okutufuga. Batufuga n’ente zaffe nga bwe baagala, era tuli mu nnaku nnyingi nnyo.”

38 Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku mau fai ʻae fuakava ke maʻu, mo tohi ia: pea ko homau ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, te nau ʻai ʻa hono fakaʻilonga maʻu.

“Olw’ebyo byonna, tukola naawe endagaano ey’enkalakkalira, ne tugiteeka mu buwandiike; abakulembeze baffe, n’Abaleevi baffe, ne bakabona baffe ne bagissaako omukono n’envumbo zaabwe.”
