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

2 Hagi ana avontafera Babiloni kumatera onke'naze. Hianagi Midia kaziga Ekbatana ran kumate mago avontafepi ana nanekea me'nege'za ome hake'za eri fore hute'za kazana, ana avontafepina amanahu naneke me'ne.

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

3 Kini ne' Sairusi'ma eri agafa huno kinima mania kafufina, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona ete Jerusalemi kigahaze huno kini ne' Sairusi'a huvempa kea hu'ne. Ana nehu'za ana mono nompina, tevefi kre fananehu ofane, mago'a ofanena hugahaze. Hagi kotazana noma retrure tratamina, have tagahu'za asentegahaze. Ana mono nomofona soparega mareri'amo'a 27ni'a mita hina, asoparega zaza'amo'a 27ni'a mita hugahie.

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 Hagi asopa noma azeri otisaza zana, tusinasi havea taga hu'za 3'afi erinte agofetu agofetu hu'za erinte fatgo hu'za mareneri'za, ana agofetura zafa erintetere hu'za mareri'naze. Ana mono nonte maka'zama mizaneseta eri'za vahe'ma mizama sezmantesazana, kini ne'mofo nompima zagoma nentafinti eritma mizana sezmantegahaze.

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

5 Ana nehu'za Anumzamofo nompima eri'zama eri zantamima silvareti'ene golireti'enema tro'ma hu'naza zantamima Jerusalemima Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma Nebukatnesa'ma erino Babilonima vu'nea zantamina ete eri'za Jerusalemi vu'za, Anumzamofo mono nompi ko'ma me'nere ome antegahaze.

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

6 E'ina hu'negu Yufretisi rantimofo kantu zage fre kazigama kegavama hu'nana gavana ne' Tatenaigane, Setar Bozenaigane, eri'zama tanaza hu'za eneriza vahe'mo'zane mago'zana huo zmanteta zamatrenke'za, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona kiho.

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

7 Hagi Juda vahe'mo'zama Anumzamofo mono noma negisnagetma mago'zana hutma eri'zana asevazi ozmantetma, zamatrenke'za Juda mopare gavana ne'ene, Juda kva vahe'mo'zanena zamagra'a Anumzamofo mono noma ko'ma me'nea marurera ete erioti'za kiho.

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

8 E'ina hu'negu mago'ene huvempa hu'na tamasamisuana, Juda kva vahera zamazahinke'za ana eri'zana enerisageta, Yufretisi rantimofo zage fre kazigama me'nea kumatamimpinti'ma, takisi zagoma zogita kinimofo nompima erintesaza takisi zagoreti, Ra Anumzamofo mono noma kisaza zantera mizase'za neginkeno eri'zamo'a vino.

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

9 Hanki monafinkama mani'nea Ra Anumzamofoma, Jerusalemima mani'naza pristi vahe'mo'zama tevefi kre fanane hu' ofama hunte'zanku'ma hanagetma, ve agaho bulimakaono rama sipisipi afuro, ve anenta sipisipi afura avre nezamitma, witifi, hagegupi, wainigupi, tine masave nazanku'ma hanagetma, kema hanaza avamente maka zupa zamiho.

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

10 Ana nehinke'za, monafinkama mani'nea Ra Anumzamofona avesisia ofa nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hanageno, nagri'ene ne' mofavre nagani'a kegava huranteno.

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

11 Hanki mago'enema hankave nanekema hanuana, mago vahe'mo'ma ama nanekema amage ontesiana, ana vahe'mofo noma'areti mago zafa avazu hu'za antregona hute'za, avufgafi resageno frigahie. Ana nehu'za ana ne'mofo nona eri taganavaziza magopi erintesageno moriri huno marerigahie.

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 Hanki Anumzamo Agra'a Jerusalemi kumakura huhamprino Nagri nagimoke me'nesige'za eza monora hunantegahazema huno'ma hu'nea kumakino, mago kinimo'o mago vahe'mo'ma nagri ke'ma eri atrege, azana erisga huno Jerusalemima me'nea mono nona eri havizana osugahie. Nagra Dairusi'na ama huvempa kea nehuanki ama anankea avariri fatgo hiho.

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 Hanki Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kuma'ma kvama hu'nea ne' Tetanai'ene eri'za ne'a Setar Bozenai'ene zanagranema magokama eri'zama eneriza vahe'mo'zanena, kini ne' Dariusi'ma huvempama huno kre'nea avoma hampari'za kete'za, avariri fatgo hu'naze.

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

14 Hanki Juda kva vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono no eri'zana knare hu'za eri'za vu'naze. Ana nehazageke tare kasnampa netre'na Hagai'ene Ido ne'mofo Zekaraiakea knare naneke zanasamike zamazeri hankave netike'za, eri'zana hankaveti'za eri'naze. Ana hume nevu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante amagenente'za, Pesia kini vahezaga Sairusi'ma, Dariusi'ma, Artaseksiski hu'zama hu'nazankea amage ante'za ana mono nona kivaga re'naze.

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

15 Hanki Dariusi'ma kinima manino egeno 6sima hia kafumofona, Adarie nehaza ikamofona 3zupa, ana mono nona kivaga re'naze.

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

16 Ana hute'za maka Israeli vahe'ma, pristi vahe'ma, Livae naga'ene mago'a kinafinti'ma e'naza Israeli vahe'mo'zanena musenkase nehu'za, Anumzamofo mono nona nunamu hu'za erinte ruotge hu'naze.

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

17 Hanki Ra Anumzamofo mono noma musenkase nehu'za nunamuma hu'za renagi'za erinte ruotge'ma haza zupa, 100'a ve bulimakaogi, 200'a rama sipisipi afu'ene, 400'a ve sipisipi anentatami avre'za ana maka Ra Anumzamofona ofa hunte'naze. Ana nehu'za Israeli naga nofite mago meme huhamprintetere hu'za, 12fu'a ve meme afu avre'za mago mago naga nofi'mofo kumi'ma eri atre ofa hu'naze.

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

18 Hanki ana nehu'za pristi naga'ene Livae nagara huhampri zmante'naza knare'ma, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi Jerusalema eri'zama eriterema hanagu Mosese'ma krente'nea avontafepima me'nea kante amage ante'za huhampri zamante'naze. (Livitikas-Pristi Eri'zane 8:1-36, Exo-Utirami 29:1-37).

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

19 Hanki Babilonima kina hu'za mani'naza vahe'ma enaza vahe'mo'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamavareno atirami'nea (pasova) knagu antahimi'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za ese ikamofona 14ni zupa, ne'zana nene'za musenkasea hu'naze. (Ekso-Utiramine 12:1-28)

Abantwana bokuthunjwa benza lephasika ngolwetshumi lane lwenyanga yokuqala.

20 Hagi pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'mo'za, Ra Anumzamofo avure'ma agruma hu' avu'avaza tro hu'za zamazeri agru hu'naze. Anama hute'za Livae naga'mo'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma ozmahe'ma zamagtere'nea knare'ma, ahe sipisipi afura ahe'za, zamagrare'ene pristi nagate'ene, ana maka vahe'ma Babiloni kinafinti'ma e'naza vahete'enena ofa hu'naze.

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

21 Hanki ana maka Israeli vahe'ma kinafinti'ma e'naza vahe'mo'za, anama ofama haza afura nevagare'naze. Ana nehazage'za megi'a vahe'ma ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za, agru osu tavu tva'ma nehuna zana netreta, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzama amage'ma antesunema haza vahe'mo'zanena, ofama haza afu'mofo ame'a ne'naze.

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

22 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za 7ni'a zagemofo agu'afina zo-ore bretima nenaza knagura tusi'a musenkase hu'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma Siria kini ne'mofo antahintahima eri rukrahe higeno, zamaza hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamofo mono noma ete ki'naza zanku tusi musenkase hu'naze.

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