Ezra 6

1 Tete Fia Darius de se, eye wotsa le nyaŋlɔɖigbalẽ xoxo siwo wodzra ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒe la me le Babilonia.

UDariyusi inkosi wasemisa umthetho, basebephenya endlini yezingwalo lapho okwakubekwe khona okuligugu eBhabhiloni.

2 Woke ɖe lãgbalẽgbalẽ aɖe ŋu le Ekbatana ƒe fiasã si le Media nuto la me. Esiae nye nu si woŋlɔ ɖe eme: Ŋkuɖodzinya:

Kwasekutholakala eAkimetha, esigodlweni esisesigabeni samaMede, incwadi egoqwayo, okwakubhalwe phakathi kwayo isikhumbuzo ngalindlela:

3 Le Fia Sirus ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, fia la de se ku ɖe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ si le Yerusalem ŋuti be: Migbugbɔ gbedoxɔ la tu wòanye teƒe si woasa vɔ le, miɖo eƒe gɔmeɖokpewo anyi. Nekɔ mita blaeve-vɔ-adre eye wòakeke mita blaeve-vɔ-adre.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi, uKoresi inkosi wamisa umthetho: Indlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema, kayakhiwe lindlu endaweni lapho abanikela khona iminikelo, lezisekelo zayo zizabekwa ngokuqinileyo; ukuphakama kwayo kube zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, ububanzi bayo bube zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha;

4 Woatsɔ kpe gãwo aɖo gɔmeɖokpe lae, eye woaɖoe ɖe wo nɔewo dzi zi etɔ̃, ale be ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia nanye ati sesẽwo. Woatsɔ ga le fia la ƒe gaɖaka me axe fee ɖe dɔ la ta.

ibe lemizila emithathu yamatshe amakhulu lomzila wezigodo ezintsha. Izindleko zizaphiwa-ke zivela endlini yenkosi.

5 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, woatrɔ klosalonu kple sikanu siwo nɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe la me, esiwo Nebukadnezar lɔ le gbedoxɔ la me le Yerusalem, yi ɖe Babiloniae la aɖada ɖe wo nɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la me le Yerusalem; woakɔ wo ɖe Mawu ƒe aƒe la me.

Futhi lezitsha zegolide lezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu uNebhukadinezari azikhupha ethempelini eliseJerusalema waziletha eBhabhiloni, kazibuyiselwe zisiwe ethempelini eliseJerusalema, endaweni yayo, uzibeke endlini kaNkulunkulu.

6 Ke azɔ la, wò, Tatenai, mɔmefia si le Frat tɔsisi la godo kple wò, Setar Bozenai kple mi woƒe dɔnunɔla siwo le nuto ma me la, migaka afɔ afi ma o.

Khathesi, Tathenayi, mbusi waphetsheya komfula, Shethari-Bozenayi, labangane benu amaAfarisathiki, abaphetsheya komfula, banini khatshana lalapho.

7 Miɖe asi le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ si tum wole la ƒe nya me. Miɖe mɔ be Yudatɔwo ƒe mɔmefia kple Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo nagbugbɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe sia atu ɖe teƒe si wònɔ tsã.

Uyekeleni umsebenzi walindlu kaNkulunkulu; umbusi wamaJuda labadala bamaJuda kabakhe lindlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.

8 Gawu la, mele se dem be, esiawo miawɔ na Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu me: Woaxe ame siawo ƒe nugbegblẽwo katã tso fia la ƒe gaɖaka si me wodea nudzɔdzɔwoe le Frat tɔsisi la godo me, ale be dɔa matɔ te o.

Futhi umthetho umiswa yimi ngelizakwenzela abadala balamaJuda ekwakhiweni kwalindlu kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi empahleni zenkosi ezivela emthelweni wangaphetsheya komfula, izindleko ziphiwe lamadoda masinyane ukuze angami.

9 Woatsɔ nyitsui, agbo kple agbovi siwo wohiãna na numevɔsawo na dziƒo Mawu la kpe ɖe wɔ, dze, wain kple ami siwo nunɔla siwo le Yerusalem hiãna gbe sia gbe la ŋu na wo, mada le edzi o.

Lokuswelakalayo, kokubili amajongosi lezinqama lamawundlu komnikelo wokutshiselwa uNkulunkulu wamazulu, ingqoloyi, itshwayi, iwayini, lamafutha, njengokutsho kwabapristi abaseJerusalema, kabakunikwe insuku ngensuku kungaphuthi,

10 Ale be woate ŋu asa vɔ siwo adze dziƒo Mawu la ŋu la nɛ, eye woado gbe ɖa ɖe fia la kple via ŋutsuwo ta be woanɔ dedie.

ukuze banikele iminikelo yephunga elimnandi kuNkulunkulu wamazulu, bakhulekele impilo yenkosi leyamadodana ayo.

11 Gawu la, mele se dem be ame si atrɔ sedede sia la, woaɖe ati le eƒe xɔ me, eye woatu ati la ɖe tome, aklãe ɖe eŋuti, eye le nu vɔ̃ sia ta la, woagbã eƒe aƒe wòazu aɖukpo.

Futhi umthetho umiswe yimi wokuthi loba ngubani oguqula lelilizwi, kakuhwatshwe ugodo endlini yakhe, aphakanyiswe abethelwe phezu kwalo; lendlu yakhe yenziwe inqumbi yomquba ngenxa yalokhu.

12 Mawu, ame si na be yeƒe Ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma la, naɖe fia le zi dzi alo dukɔ si akɔ eƒe asi dzi be yeatrɔ sedede sia alo agbã gbedoxɔ sia le Yerusalem. Nye Darius de se sia. Ele be woawɔe kple mo vevi ɖoɖo.

LoNkulunkulu owenze ibizo lakhe lihlale lapho kachithe loba yiyiphi inkosi loba abantu abazakwelula isandla sabo ukuguqula lokuchitha lindlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema. Mina Dariyusi ngimise umthetho, kakwenziwe masinyane.

13 Le sedede si Fia Darius ɖo ɖa ta la, Tatenai, mɔmefia si le Frat tɔsisi la godo, Setar Bozeni kple wo ŋutimewo wɔ sedede la menyawo dzi kple mo vevi ɖoɖo.

Khonokho uTathenayi umbusi nganeno komfula, uShethari-Bozenayi, labangane babo benza njalo masinyane njengalokho uDariyusi inkosi ayekuthumele.

14 Ale Yuda dumegãwo yi xɔa tutu dzi, eye to Nyagblɔɖila Hagai kple Zekaria, Ido ƒe dzidzimevi ƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ me la, nuwo dze edzi nyuie. Le Israel ƒe Mawu kple Sirus, Darius kple Artazerses, Persia fiawo ƒe sededewo nu la, wowu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu.

Abadala bamaJuda basebesakha njalo baphumelela ngesiprofetho sikaHagayi umprofethi loZekhariya indodana kaIdo. Bakha baqeda njengokomlayo kaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli langokomlayo kaKoresi, loDariyusi, loAthakisekisi inkosi yePerisiya.

15 Wowu enu le dzinu Adar ƒe ŋkeke etɔ̃lia dzi le Fia Darius ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe adelia me.

Lindlu yasiphela ngosuku lwesithathu enyangeni kaAdari, okwakungumnyaka wesithupha wokubusa kukaDariyusi inkosi.

16 Tete Israel dukɔ la katã, nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple ame siwo gbɔ tso aboyome la ɖu Mawu ƒe aƒe la ŋuti kɔkɔ ƒe azã la kple aseyetsotso.

Abantwana bakoIsrayeli, abapristi lamaLevi labanye abantwana bokuthunjwa, basebesenza ukwehlukaniselwa kwalindlu kaNkulunkulu ngentokozo.

17 Wotsɔ nyitsu alafa ɖeka, agbo alafa eve kple alẽvi alafa ene sa vɔe le gbedoxɔ la ŋuti kɔkɔ me, eye abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ɖe Israel blibo la ta ene la, wotsɔ gbɔ̃tsu wuieve ɖe Israel ƒe to wuieveawo nu sa vɔe,

Banikelela ukwehlukaniselwa kwalindlu kaNkulunkulu inkunzi ezilikhulu, inqama ezingamakhulu amabili, amawundlu angamakhulu amane; lezimpongo zezimbuzi ezilitshumi lambili zingumnikelo wesono kaIsrayeli wonke, ngokwenani lezizwe zakoIsrayeli.

18 eye woɖo nunɔlaawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me kple Levitɔwo ɖe woƒe memamawo me hena Mawu ƒe dɔwo wɔwɔ le Yerusalem, ɖe nu si woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe Agbalẽ la me nu.

Basebemisa abapristi ngezigaba zabo, lamaLevi ngamaqembu awo, enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema, njengokubhaliweyo egwalweni lukaMozisi.

19 Le dzinu gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe la, aboyometsolawo ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la.

Abantwana bokuthunjwa benza lephasika ngolwetshumi lane lwenyanga yokuqala.

20 Nunɔlaawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu, ale wo katã wonɔ kɔkɔe le se la nu. Levitɔwo wu Ŋutitotolẽvi la na aboyometsolawo katã, wo nɔvi nunɔlawo kple woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo.

Ngoba abapristi lamaLevi babezihlambulule ndawonye, bonke babehlambulukile. Bahlabela bonke abantwana bokuthunjwa iphasika, labafowabo abapristi, labo ngokwabo.

21 Ale Israelvi siwo katã gbɔ tso aboyome la ɖui kple ame siwo katã kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu tso trɔ̃subɔla siwo dome wole ƒe kɔnyinyiwo me, be woadi Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.

Ngokunjalo badla abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababebuyile ekuthunjweni, labo bonke ababezehlukanisele kubo lokungcolileyo kwezizwe zelizwe, ukudinga iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.

22 Woɖu abolo maʋamaʋã ŋkekenyui la kple aseyetsotso, elabena Yehowa tsɔ dzidzɔ yɔ woƒe dziwo me, eye wòna Asiria fia ƒe dɔ me trɔ ɖe wo ŋu, wòkpe ɖe wo ŋu le Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ƒe dɔwo me.

Benza umkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo insuku eziyisikhombisa ngentokozo; ngoba iNkosi yayibenze bathokoza, yaphendulela kibo inhliziyo yenkosi yeAsiriya, ukuqinisa izandla zabo emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
