Ezra 6

¹Khona-ke inkosi uDariyu yakhipha umyalo, kwaphenywa endlini yezincwadi, lapho okwakugcinwa khona ingcebo eBhabhiloni.

²Kwatholakala e-Akimetha esigodlweni esisesifundeni samaMede umqulu, nombhalo wemilando owawulotshwe kanje:

³Ngomnyaka wokuqala wenkosi uKoresi, inkosi uKoresi yakhipha umyalo ngendlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, yathi: “Makwakhiwe indlu, indawo lapho bekuhlatshelwa khona imihlatshelo, zimiswe izisekelo zayo, ziqine; ukuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, nobubanzi bawo buyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha;

⁴nezinhla ezintathu zamatshe amakhulu nohla lwamapulangwe amasha; nezindleko mazikhishwe endlini yenkosi.

⁵Futhi izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu uNebukadinesari azikhipha ethempelini eliseJerusalema waziyisa eBhabhiloni, mazibuyiswe, zibuyiselwe ethempelini eliseJerusalema, kube yileso naleso endaweni yaso nendawo yaso endlini kaNkulunkulu.

⁶Ngakho-ke, Thathenayi, mbusi ongaphetsheya komfula, leSetharibhozenayi, labangane benu, amaAfarzagi aphetsheya komfula, makube khatshana lalapho.

⁷Yekani umsebenzi wale ndlu kaNkulunkulu; umbusi wamaJuda namalunga abaJuda mabakhe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.

⁸Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngiyaleza ukuba nenze kumalunga alaba baJuda ekwakheni le ndlu kaNkulunkulu: empahleni yenkosi, yebo, kusukela enteleni ngaphesheya koMfula, kumelwe kukhishwe ngokushesha izindleko kulawa madoda, ukuze bangavimbeli.

⁹Futhi abakudingayo, amaduna, nezinqama, namawundlu, okomnikelo wokushiswa kaNkulunkulu wezulu, ukolweni, nosawoti, newayini, namafutha, njengokumisa kwabapristi abaseJerusalema, kube usuku lwabo. Ngosuku olunikezwe ngaphandle kokulibala:

¹⁰ukuze banikele iminikelo enephunga elimnandi kuNkulunkulu wasezulwini, bathandazele ukuphila kwenkosi namadodana ayo.

¹¹Futhi ngakhipha umyalo wokuthi noma ubani oguqula leli zwi kumelwe adilize izinkuni zendlu yakhe azimise, kumelwe alengiswe kuzo; futhi indlu yakhe mayenziwe iduli ngenxa yalokhu.

¹²UNkulunkulu obeke igama lakhe lapho uchitha wonke amakhosi nabantu abayoshaya esandleni sabo ukushintsha nokuchitha le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema. Mina, Dariyu, ngakhipha umyalo; makwenziwe ngesivinini.

¹³Khona-ke uThathenayi, umbusi nganeno komfula, neSetharibhozenayi nabangane babo, njengoba nje uDariyu inkosi wayethumele, benza kanjalo ngokushesha.

¹⁴Abadala bamaJuda basebesakha, baphumelela ngomprofethi kaHagayi umprofethi loZakariya indodana kaIdo. Bakha, baqeda njengomyalo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli nanjengomyalo kaKoresi noDariyu no-Aritahishashita inkosi yasePheresiya.

¹⁵Le ndlu yaqedwa ngosuku lwesithathu lwenyanga ka-Adari, ngomnyaka wesithupha wokubusa kwenkosi uDariyu.

¹⁶Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abapristi namaLevi nabanye abantwana babathunjwa bagcina ukunikezelwa kwale ndlu kaNkulunkulu ngokujabula.

¹⁷Nasekuhlukaniseni le ndlu kaNkulunkulu izinkunzi eziyikhulu, nezinqama ezingamakhulu amabili, namawundlu angamakhulu amane; nezimpongo eziyishumi nambili zibe ngumnikelo wesono ka-Israyeli wonke, ngokwenani lezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

¹⁸Bamisa abapristi ngezigaba zabo namaLevi ngezigaba zabo enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema; njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lukaMozisi.

¹⁹Abantwana babathunjwa bagcina iphasika ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga yokuqala.

²⁰Ngokuba abapristi namaLevi babehlanjululwe kanyekanye, bonke babehlambulukile, bazihlabela zonke iziboshwa, nabafowabo, nabapristi, nabo ngokwabo iphasika.

²¹Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababebuyile ekuthunjweni, nabo bonke ababezahlukanisile nokungcola kwezizwe zezwe, ukuba bafune uJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, badla;

²²bagubha umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokuthokoza, ngokuba uJehova wabathokozisa, waletha kubo inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Asiriya ukuba iqinise izandla zabo emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
