2 thangwi iwo nee apasa Aizraeli cakudya* na madzi, mbwenye aphemba Bhalamu toera aapase dzedze.+ Ngakhale tenepo, Mulungu wathu acinja dzedze mbikhala nkhombo.+
3 Pidabva iwo Mwambo, atoma kubulusa anthu onsene a madzindza anango+ pakati pa Aizraeli.
4 Pyenepi mbapidzati kucitika, nyantsembe akhayang’anira masala akukoyera pinthu* panyumba ya Mulungu wathu+ akhali Eliyazibhe,+ m’bale wace Tobhiya.+
5 Iye akhadapasa Tobhiya sala ikulu* ikhakoyerwa ntsembe za pyakudya, olibhano, pyombo pya mu templo, cacikhumi ca pyakudya, vinyu ipswa na mafuta,+ pinthu pyakuti pikhafunika kupaswa Alevi,+ anyakuimba na anyakuonera misuwo mikulu, kuphatanizambo pinthu pikhaperekwa kuna anyantsembe.+
6 Mu ndzidzi unoyu onsene, ine nee ndikhali mu Yerusalemu thangwi ndikhadaenda kuna mambo mu caka 32+ ca utongi wa Artaxerxe,+ Mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya; pidapita ndzidzi ungasi, ine ndaphemba mambo toera ndibwerere.

11 Penepo ine ndasandika atongi+ mbandiapanga: “Thangwi yanji nyumba ya Mulungu wandimomwene iri kupwazwa?”+ Buluka penepo, ndacemeresa onsene mbandiaikha pontho m’mbuto zawo za basa.
12 Pontho anthu onsene a ku Yuda abweresa cacikhumi+ ca pyakudya, vinyu ipswa na mafuta m’masala akukoyera pinthu.+
13 Natenepa, ndasankhula nyantsembe Selemiya, mulembi Zadhoke na Pedhaya wakuti akhali Mulevi toera akhale ayang’aniri a masala akukoyera pinthu, pontho iwo akhaphedzerwa na Anaa mwana wa Zakuri, wakuti akhali mwana wa Mataniya, thangwi iwo akhaoniwa kuti ndi anthu akunyindirika. Iwo akhali na basa yakugawira pinthu abale awo.
14 Ndikumbukeni,+ imwe Mulungu wanga, pontho lekani kuduwala ufuni udapangiza ine thangwi ya nyumba yanu na basa inacitwa mwenemo.*+
15 Mu ntsiku zenezi, ine ndaona anthu ku Yuda mbakaponda mauva m’mbuto yakukamulira mauva pa ntsiku ya Sabudu,+ pontho iwo akhabweresa pyakudya pizinji mu Yerusalemu mbapikwiza pa maburu. Iwo akhabweresambo vinyu, mauva, masambvu na ntundu onsene wa mitolo pa ntsiku ya Sabudu.+ Natenepa, ndaapanga toera akhonde kugulisa pinthu pa ntsiku ineyi.*
16 Pontho anthu a ku Tiro akuti akakhala mu nzinda akhabweresa ntsomba na ntundu onsene wa malonda, mbagulisira anthu a ku Yuda mu Yerusalemu pa ntsiku ya Sabudu.+
17 Natenepa, ine ndasandika atsogoleri a mu Yuda, mbandiapanga: “Thangwi yanji mukucita pinthu pyenepi pyakuipa? Imwe mukupwaza ntsiku ya Sabudu!
18 Kodi nee ndi pyenepi pidacita ambuyanu, mbapicitisa kuti Mulungu wathu abwerese nyatwa kuna ife na kuna nzinda uyu? Mbwenye imwe muli kuthimizira kuipirwa kwace kuna Aizraeli thangwi yakupwaza ntsiku ya Sabudu.”+
19 Natenepa, pikhadoka dzuwa mbidzati kutoma ntsiku ya Sabudu, ine ndalonga kuti misuwo isafunika ifungwe. Ine ndalongambo kuti nee isafunika kufungulwa mpaka kumala kwa ntsiku ya Sabudu, pontho ndaikha atumiki anga angasi m’misuwo mikulu toera anthu akhonde kupita na mitolo yawo pa ntsiku ya Sabudu.
20 Na thangwi ineyi, anyamalonda na anyakugulisa pinthu pya ntundu onsene agona kunja kwa Yerusalemu kabodzi peno kawiri.

22 Ndapangambo Alevi kuti asafunika aceneseke ndzidzi onsene, pontho aonere misuwo mikulu toera ntsiku ya Sabudu ipitirize kukhala yakucena.+ Mulungu wanga, kumbukanimbo pyenepi thangwi ya ine, pontho ndibvereni ntsisi mwakubverana na ufuni wanu wakukhonda mala.+
23 Mu ntsiku zenezi, ine ndadzindikirambo kuti Ayuda akhadasemba akazi+ a ku Asidhodhe,+ a ku Amoni na a ku Moabhe.+
24 Hafu ya anawo akhalonga cilongero ca ku Asidhodhe, pontho hafu inango ikhalonga pilongero pya anthu anango, mbwenye nee m’bodzi wa iwo akhakwanisa kulonga cilongero ca Ayuda.

26 Kodi nee ndi pyenepi pidacitisa Salomoni, Mambo wa Izraeli kudawa? Pakati pa madzindza onsene nee pakhali na mambo ninga iye;+ pontho iye akhafuniwa na Mulungu wace,+ natenepa Mulungu amuikha ninga mambo wa Izraeli onsene. Mbwenye iye adawa thangwi ya akazi a madziko anango.+
27 Thangwi yanji imwe mwacita pinthu pyenepi pyakuipa kakamwe, mbamukhala akukhonda khulupirika kuna Mulungu wathu thangwi yakusemba akazi a madziko anango?”+

29 Imwe Mulungu wanga, kumbukani pidacita iwo, pontho atcunyuseni thangwi apswipisa unyantsembe+ na cibverano cidacita imwe na anyantsembe pabodzi na Alevi.+
30 Natenepa ine ndaacenesa m’makhaliro onsene akuipa a anthu a madzindza anango, pontho ndapasa basa anyantsembe na Alevi, m’bodzi na m’bodzi mbaphata basa yace,+
31 ndacitambo masasanyiro toera nkhuni+ zibwereswe pa ndzidzi wakuthema, kuphatanizambo misapo yakutoma kutokota.
