UNehemiya 5

¹Kwaba khona ukukhala okukhulu kwabantu nabafazi babo ngabafowabo, amaJuda.

²Ngokuba kwakukhona ababethi: “Thina, amadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu, sibaningi; ngalokho siyabathathela amabele, ukuze sidle, siphile.

³Kwakukhona futhi abanye abathi: “Sibambise amasimu ethu, nezivini, nezindlu zethu, ukuze sithenge ukolweni ngenxa yokuswelakala.

⁴Kwakukhona nabathi: “Saboleka imali yentela yenkosi, nangemali yamasimu ethu nezivini zethu.”

⁵Kepha manje inyama yethu injengenyama yabafowethu, nabantwana bethu banjengabantwana babo; bheka, siletha amadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu ebugqilini, namadodakazi ethu asevele enziwe izigqila; futhi akukho emandleni ethu ukubakhulula; ngoba abanye abantu balamasimu ethu lezivini zethu.

⁶Futhi ngathukuthela kakhulu lapho ngibabiza futhi ngizwa lawa mazwi.

⁷Ngase ngiceba phakathi kwami, ngabasola abakhulu nababusi, ngathi kubo: Nibiza inzalo, kube yilowo nalowo kumfowabo. Futhi ngabamisela ibandla elikhulu.

⁸Ngasengisithi kubo: Sahlenga ngokwamandla ethu abazalwane bethu abaJuda, ababethengiswe kwabezizwe; futhi ningaze nidayise abafowenu na? noma bazothengiselwa thina? Bathula ke bangathola lutho lokuphendula.

⁹Futhi ngathi: Kakukuhle ukuthi nenze lokhu; Aniyikuhamba yini ekwesabeni uNkulunkulu wethu ngenxa yehlazo labezizwe, izitha zethu?

¹⁰Ngendlela efanayo mina nabafowethu nezinceku zami sasibiza imali nokolweni kubo;

¹¹Babuyisele namuhla amasimu abo, nezivini zabo, neminqumo yabo, nezindlu zabo, nokwekhulu kwemali, nokolweni, newayini, namafutha eniwatholile kubo.

¹²Base bethi: “Sizowabuyisela, singabafuni lutho; ngakho sizokwenza njengokusho kwakho. Ngase ngibiza abapristi, ngabafungisa ukuba benze ngokwalesi sithembiso.

¹³Nami nganyakazisa ingubo yami, ngathi: “Ngakho uNkulunkulu uyanyakazisa, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe nasemsebenzini wakhe ongasigcwalisi lesi sithembiso; naye makavuthululwe kanjalo, angenalutho. Ibandla lonke lathi: Amen, lidumise uJehova. Abantu benza njengesithembiso.

¹⁴Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusukela esikhathini engamiswa ngaso ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabo ezweni lakwaJuda, kusukela ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamashumi amathathu nambili ka-Aritahishashita inkosi, iminyaka eyishumi nambili, mina nabafowethu asizange sisidle isinkwa sombusi.

¹⁵Kodwa ababusi bangaphambili ababengaphambi kwami bahlambalaza abantu, bathatha kubo isinkwa newayini, ngaphandle kwamashekeli angamashumi amane esiliva; yebo, ngisho nezinceku zabo zibusa phezu kwabantu; kepha angikwenzanga lokho ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu.

¹⁶Yebo, ngaqhubeka nomsebenzi walolu donga, futhi asithenganga mhlaba, futhi zonke izinceku zami zabuthana lapho emsebenzini.

¹⁷Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakukhona etafuleni lami kumaJuda nababusi abayikhulu namashumi amahlanu, ngaphandle kwalabo abeza kithi bevela kwabezizwe abasizungezile.

¹⁸Futhi okwakulungiselelwa mina imihla ngemihla kwakuyinkomo eyodwa nezimvu eziyisithupha ezikhethiweyo; kwalungiselelwa mina nezinyoni, kwaqoqwa kanye ngezinsuku eziyishumi zonke izinhlobo zewayini; nokho angisibizanga isinkwa sombusi, ngokuba ubugqila babunzima phezu kwalaba bantu.

¹⁹Ngikhumbule, Nkulunkulu wami, kube kuhle, njengakho konke engikwenzele laba bantu.
