Ɛsra 3
1 Bosome a ɛtɔ so nson ahyɛaseɛ a Israelfoɔ abɔ atenaseɛ wɔ wɔn nkuro mu no, nnipa no nyinaa hyiaa sɛ nnipa korɔ wɔ Yerusalem.
Isifikile inyanga yesikhombisa, labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebesemizini, abantu babuthana njengamuntu munye eJerusalema.
2 Na Yosadak babarima Yesua ne nʼafɛfoɔ asɔfoɔ ne Sealtiel babarima Serubabel ne nʼabusuafoɔ hyɛɛ aseɛ siesiee Israel Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so, sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ wɔ Mose a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no mmara mu no.
Kwasekusukuma uJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki labafowabo abapristi, loZerubhabheli indodana kaSalatiyeli labafowabo, bakha ilathi likaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ukuze banikele iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni kaMozisi umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
3 Ɛwom sɛ na nkurɔfoɔ no suro amannifoɔ a wɔtete hɔ no deɛ, nanso wɔsane sii afɔrebukyia no wɔ ne dada mu hɔ. Ɛhɔ ara na wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Wɔyɛɛ saa anɔpa ne anwummerɛ biara.
Basebemisa ilathi ezisekelweni zalo, ngoba ukwesaba kwakuphezu kwabo ngenxa yabantu belizwe, basebenikela eNkosini iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo, iminikelo yokutshiswa ekuseni lantambama.
4 Wɔdii Asese Afahyɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔakyerɛ wɔ Mose mmara nwoma no mu no, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, sɛdeɛ afahyɛ da biara deɛ teɛ no.
Basebesenza umkhosi wamadumba njengokubhaliweyo, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa insuku ngensuku ngenani, njengomkhuba, udaba losuku ngosuku lwalo.
5 Afei, wɔbɔɔ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no ne afɔdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ma Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ no ne mfeɛ ahodoɔ afahyɛ de maa Awurade. Na nnipa no bɔɔ ɔpɛ pa mu afɔdeɛ nso de maa Awurade.
Langemva kwalokho umnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo, lowekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, lowemikhosi yonke emisiweyo yeNkosi eyayingcwelisiwe, lowakhe wonke owanikela ngesihle umnikelo wesihle eNkosini.
6 Aka dadu nnanum na Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no aduru so no, asɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Wɔhyɛɛ yei nso ase ansa na wɔreto Awurade asɔredan no fapem.
Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesikhombisa baqalisa ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini, kodwa isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi sasingakabekwa.
7 Na wɔbɔɔ adansifoɔ ne nnua adwumfoɔ paa na wɔtɔɔ ntweneduro nnua firi Tirofoɔ ne Sidonfoɔ nkyɛn, na wɔde nnuane, nsã ne ngo tuaa wɔn ka. Wɔde nnua no firi Lebanon mmepɔ so guu Ɛpo Kɛseɛ ani baa Yopa, a na ɔhene Kores ama ho ɛkwan.
Basebenika imali kubabazi bamatshe lakubabazi bezigodo, lokudla lokunathwayo lamafutha kumaSidoni lakumaTire ukuze balethe izigodo zemisedari zivela eLebhanoni bezisa elwandle eJopha, ngokwemvumo kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya kubo.
8 Wɔhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no sie ase wɔ bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu mu wɔ afeɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu firi ɛberɛ a wɔkɔduruu Yerusalem no. Wɔn a wɔfiri asutwa mu baeɛ no nyinaa yɛɛ ho adwumayɛfoɔ a Sealtiel babarima Serubabel, Yosadak babarima Yesua ne ne mfɛfoɔ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ nyinaa nso ka ho. Lewifoɔ a na wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne wɔn a wɔboro saa no na wɔde Awurade asɔredan no nsiesie hyɛɛ wɔn nsa.
Langomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endlini kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, ngenyanga yesibili, baqalisa oZerubhabheli indodana kaSalatiyeli loJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki, lensali yabafowabo, abapristi lamaLevi, labo bonke ababebuyile eJerusalema bevela ekuthunjweni; basebemisa amaLevi kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu ukongamela umsebenzi wendlu yeNkosi.
9 Yesua ne ne mmammarima ne nʼabusuafoɔ ne Kadmiel ne ne mmammarima ne Hodawia asefoɔ nyinaa na wɔde Onyankopɔn asɔredan ho adwumayɛfoɔ hyɛɛ wɔn nsa sɛ, wɔnhwɛ wɔn so. Henadad abusuafoɔ Lewifoɔ na wɔboaa wɔn saa dwumadie yi mu.
Kwasekusukuma oJeshuwa, amadodana akhe, labafowabo, uKadimiyeli lamadodana akhe, abantwana bakoJuda, njengomuntu munye ukongamela abenzi bomsebenzi endlini kaNkulunkulu, amadodana kaHenadadi, amadodana abo labafowabo amaLevi.
10 Ɛberɛ a adansifoɔ no wiee Awurade asɔredan no fapem no, asɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ wɔn asɔfotadeɛ, kɔtenaa wɔn tenaberɛ, hyɛnee wɔn totorobɛnto. Na Asaf asefoɔ Lewifoɔ no bɔɔ wɔn kyankyan de kamfoo Awurade sɛdeɛ na ɔhene Dawid ahyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Abakhi sebebekile isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi, bamisa abapristi begqokile belezimpondo, lamaLevi, amadodana kaAsafi, elensimbi ezincencethayo, ukudumisa iNkosi, njengokwezandla zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
11 Wɔde nkamfoɔ ne aseda too saa dwom yi maa Awurade sɛ: “Ɔyɛ, Na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa ma Israel afebɔɔ!” Na ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa teaam ahoɔden so, de kamfoo Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade asɔredan fapem no, wɔato.
Baphendulana ngokuhlabela bedumisa bebonga iNkosi, ngoba ilungile, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube nininini kuIsrayeli. Bonke abantu basebememeza ngokumemeza okukhulu ekuyidumiseni iNkosi, ngoba isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi sasesibekiwe.
12 Asɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ no bebree ne Lewifoɔ ne ntuanofoɔ no kaee asɔredan a ɛdi ɛkan no, wɔsuiɛ ɛberɛ a wɔhunuu asɔredan foforɔ no fapem a wɔato no. Na afoforɔ nso teateaam anigyeɛ so.
Kodwa abanengi babapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise, abadala ababeyibonile indlu yokuqala, isisekelo salindlu sesibekiwe emehlweni abo, bakhala inyembezi ngelizwi elikhulu; kodwa abanengi baphakamisa ilizwi ngokumemeza ngentokozo.
13 Anigyeɛ nteateamu ne osu a ɛne no adi afra no, ano yɛɛ den, na nnipa tee no akyirikyiri.
Ngokunjalo abantu kabehlukanisanga umsindo wokumemeza kwentokozo lomsindo wokukhala kwabantu, ngoba abantu baklabalala ngokuklabalala okukhulu, umsindo waze wezwakala khatshana.
