UNehemiya 13

¹Ngalolo suku bafunda encwadini kaMose ezindlebeni zabantu; futhi kwatholakala kulo ukuthi abakwa-Amoni nabakwaMowabi abayikungena ebandleni likaNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade;

²Ngokuba abahlangabezanga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngesinkwa nangamanzi, kepha babaqasha uBileyamu ukuba abaqalekise; kodwa uNkulunkulu wethu waphendula isiqalekiso saba yisibusiso.

³Lapho bezwa umthetho, bahlukanisa yonke ingxubevange yakwa-Israyeli.

⁴Ngokuba u-Eliyashibi umpristi, owayengamele ikamelo lendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, wayengumngane kaThobiya.

⁵Wamlungisela ikamelo elikhulu, lapho ababebeke khona iminikelo yomlilo ngaphambili, impepho, nezitsha, nokweshumi kukakolweni, newayini, namafutha, okwakumelwe kunikwe amaLevi, nabahlabeleli. Nabalindisango; neminikelo yabapristi.

⁶Kepha phakathi naso sonke leso sikhathi ngangingekho eJerusalema, ngokuba ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nambili ka-Aritahishashita inkosi yaseBabele ngafika enkosini, emva kwezinsuku ezithile ngathola imvume enkosini.

⁷Ngafika eJerusalema, ngabona ububi u-Eliyashibi ayenzile kuThobiya ngokummisela ikamelo emagcekeni endlu kaNkulunkulu.

⁸Kwangidabukisa kakhulu; ngalokho ngalahla yonke impahla yasendlini kaThobiya endlini.

⁹Ngase ngilaya, bahlanza amakamelo; ngabuyisela khona izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu kanye nomnikelo womlilo nempepho.

¹⁰Ngabona ukuthi amaLevi awanikezwanga izabelo; ngokuba amaLevi nabahlabeleli abenza umsebenzi babaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo waya ezweni lakubo.

¹¹Ngase ngiphikisana nababusi, ngathi: “Ishiyiwe ngani indlu kaNkulunkulu na? Futhi ngababutha ndawonye ngababeka endaweni yabo.

¹²Wonke uJuda wayeseletha okweshumi kukakolweni, newayini, nokwamafutha endlini yengcebo.

¹³Ngamisa abaphathi-sikhwama phezu kwengcebo: uShelemiya umpristi, noSadoki umbhali, namaLevi, uPhedaya; eceleni kwabo kwakunguHanani indodana kaSakuri indodana kaMathaniya; ngokuba babebhekwa njengabathembekile, nomsebenzi wabo kwakumelwe wabelwe abafowabo.

¹⁴Ngikhumbule, Nkulunkulu wami, ngalokho, ungasusi izenzo zami ezinhle engizenzile endlini kaNkulunkulu wami nasezimisweni zayo.

¹⁵Ngalezo zinsuku ngabona kwaJuda ukuthi abanye banyathela izikhamo zewayini ngesabatha, baletha izithungu, balayishe izimbongolo; kanye newayini, namagilebhisi, namakhiwane, nayo yonke inhlobo yemithwalo abayiletha eJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha; futhi ngafakaza ngokumelene nabo ngosuku abathengisa ngalo ukudla.

¹⁶Kwakuhlala khona abantu baseTire ababeletha izinhlanzi nazo zonke izinhlobo zezimpahla, bathengisa ngakho kubantwana bakwaJuda naseJerusalema ngesabatha.

¹⁷Ngase ngiphikisana nezikhulu zakwaJuda, ngathi kubo: “Kuyini lokhu okubi enikwenzayo, nilona usuku lwesabatha na?

¹⁸Babengenjalo oyihlo, uNkulunkulu wethu akehliselanga yini bonke lobu bubi phezu kwethu naphezu kwalo muzi? nokho nenezela ulaka phezu kuka-Israyeli ngokungcolisa isabatha.

¹⁹Kwathi lapho amasango eJerusalema eqala ukuhwalala ngaphambi kwesabatha, ngathi ma avalwe amasango futhi ngathi avulwe kuphela ngemva kwesabatha; amasango, ukuze kungangeniswa mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha.

²⁰Abathengisi nabathengisi bazo zonke izinhlobo zezimpahla bahlala ngaphandle kweJerusalema kanye nakabili.

²¹Ngase ngifakaza ngabo, ngathi kubo: Nilalani odongeni na? uma uphinda, ngiyakubeka izandla phezu kwakho. Kusukela lapho abaphindanga beza ngeSabatha.

²²Ngayala amaLevi ukuba azihlanze futhi eze alinde amasango ukuze angcwelise usuku lwesabatha. Ngikhumbule, Nkulunkulu wami, ungihawukele ngokobukhulu bomusa wakho.

²³Ngalezo zinsuku ngabona futhi amaJuda ayethathe abesifazane base-Ashidodi, abakwa-Amoni nabakwaMowabi.

²⁴Abantwana babo inxenye bakhuluma ngesi-Ashidodi, bengakwazi ukukhuluma isiJuda, kodwa ngolimi lwezizwe zonke.

²⁵Ngase ngilwa nabo, ngabaqalekisa, ngabashaya abanye, ngabahluthula izinwele, ngabafungisa uNkulunkulu, ngathi: ‘Aniyikuwanika amadodana abo amadodakazi enu, ningathatheli amadodana enu namadodakazi abo.

²⁶USolomoni, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, akonanga ngalokho na? nokho phakathi kwezizwe eziningi kwakungekho nkosi efana naye, ethandwa nguNkulunkulu wakhe, uNkulunkulu wamenza inkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke; nokho wonisa abesifazane abezizwe.

²⁷Ngakho siyakunilalela yini ukuba nenze bonke lobu bubi obukhulu, neqe kuNkulunkulu wethu ngokuthatha abesifazane babezizwe na?

²⁸Enye yamadodana kaJehoyada indodana ka-Eliyashibi, umpristi omkhulu, yayingumkhwenyana kaSanibhalati umHoroni; ngalokho ngamxosha kimi.

²⁹Bakhumbule, Nkulunkulu wami, ngokuba bangcolisile ubupristi nesivumelwano sobupristi nesamaLevi.

³⁰Ngase ngibahlambulula kubo bonke abezizwe, ngamisa abalindi babapristi namaLevi, kwaba yilowo nalowo emsebenzini wakhe;

³¹nomnikelo wezinkuni ngezikhathi ezimisiweyo nowolibo. O Nkulunkulu wami, ngicabangele okuhle.
