Nehemia 6:1-19
6 Muze Sambalate, Tobia ni Ngesheme Ka-Arabia ni akwa-kole jetu akwo anyingikine ngwo, te hinatungulula chipanga, chikwo nawa ngwo te kwakapwile chituwa nichimwe, (chipwe ngwe te kanda nguchisa yajilo ku unjililo),
2 Sambalate ni Ngesheme kawashi-washi yangutumina lusango yono ngwo: “Tweya tukalitakane mu chimwe chihunda mu chikulo cha Ono.” Kwamba umwenemwene o te kanazange kungulinga upi.
3 Kashika yingwatumina mikeji hanga aalweze ngwo: “Ngunalingi mulimo unene chinji, kashika chichi kuhasa kuya. Mumu liaka mungwecha kulinga mulimo hanga nguye ni kulitakana ni yenu?”
4 Ayo yangutumina lusango wacho kawana keswe, ni yami yingwaha kumbululo lizeliene.
5 Mba Sambalate yangutumina chikwashi chenyi ni lusango yozemwene ha chisuho chamuchitano, iye kapwile ni umwe mukanda ku kwoko.
6 Ha mukanda wacho hapwile ha kusoneka ngwo: “Tunevu kuli akwa-mavungu ni Ngesheme neye kanachitayiza ngwo, yena ni A-Yunda nunazange kulimika ni mwanangana. Kashika nunatungulula chipanga, chikwo nawa, ayo kanambe ngwo, yena mukapwa mwanangana wo.
7 Chikwo nawa, hiunatongola aprofeta hanga akambulule mu Yerusaleme yeswe hakutwala kuli yena ngwo: ‘Mu Yunda muli umwe mwanangana!’ Yuma yino yeswe mutukayilweza mwanangana. Kashika, ngunakusanyika hanga tuhanjike hakutwala ku yikuma yino.”
8 Chocho, yingumutumina kumbululo lino ngwami: “Yuma yeswe yize wamba kuyalingiwile, yena mwe wayitomba.”*
9 Ayo eswe te kakweseka kutuvwisa woma ni kutwamba ngwo: “Ayo kumahonga mu mulimo au, kechi kuhasa kuuhwisa.” Kashika, Zambi yami, ngutakamise kama.
10 Mba yinguya ku zuwo lia Shemaia mwana wa Ndelaia, mwana wa Mehetapele, ha shimbu liacho te keshi kukatuka ku zuwo lienyi. Iye yangulweza ngwenyi: “Tuye tukaliwane mu zuwo lia Zambi wamwenemwene, muchima lia tembele, tukayike yikolo ya tembele mumu ayo makeza hanga akushihe. Makeza ufuku hanga akushihe.”
11 Alioze, yingumulweza ngwami: “Shina yami natamba lume kuchina? Shina lunga ngwe yami nyi nanjila mu tembele mungununga ni mwono? Ka, chichi kunjilamo!”
12 Mba yingunyingika ngwami, kumana hi Zambi ko wamutumine, alioze Tobia ni Sambalate e alitesele nenyi hanga angulweze maliji jacho.
13 Shemaia kamufwetele hanga anguvwise woma ni kunguvulumwisa kuli Zambi. Ha kulinga chino, ayo te mapwa ni chitela chakupihisa lufuma wami ni kungusaula.
14 Zambi yami, iwuluka kama Tobia ni Sambalate ni yitanga yo, ni profeta wa pwo Noadia, ni aprofeta akwo waze azangile kunguvwisa woma mashimbu eswe.
15 Mulimo wa kutunga yipanga wambachile matangwa 52, wahwile ha tangwa 25 lia kakweji wa Elule.*
16 Muze akwa-kole jetu achivwile ni akwa-mavungu waze apwile hakamwihi achimwene, ayo yevwa sonyi* jinji, yanyingika ngwo, mulimo wacho twahashile kuulinga ni ukwaso wa Zambi.
17 Ha matangwa aze, alemu ja mu Yunda kapwile ni kutuma mikanda yinji kuli Tobia, Tobia kapwile ni kwakumbulula.
18 Mu Yunda mwapwile atu anji waze alishingile kushishika kuli Tobia, mumu iye kambachile mwana wa Shekania, mwana wa Ara. Chikwo nawa, Jehohana mwana wa Tobia, kalimbachile ni mwana wa Meshulame, mwana wa Mberekia.
19 Atu te kakungulweza mashimbu eswe yuma yipema ya Tobia, chikwo nawa, te kakumulweza yuma yize nakuhanjika. Kashika Tobia apwile ni kungutumina mikanda mashimbu eswe hanga anguvwise woma.
