Nehemiya 1:1-11
1 Aya ni yo magambo ya Nehemiya*+ umuhungu wa Hakaliya: Mu kwezi kwa Kisilevu,* mu mwaka wa 20,* nari mu rugo rw’umwami i Shushani.+
2 Nuko Hanani+ umuvandimwe wanjye, azana n’abandi bagabo baturutse mu Buyuda, maze mbabaza amakuru y’Abayahudi bari baragarutse mu gihugu cyabo bavuye mu gihugu bari barajyanywemo ku ngufu,+ mbabaza n’amakuru ya Yerusalemu.
3 Na bo baransubiza bati: “Abavuye mu gihugu bari barajyanywemo ku ngufu, bakaba bari mu ntara y’u Buyuda, babayeho nabi kandi barasuzugurwa.+ Inkuta za Yerusalemu zarasenyutse+ kandi amarembo yayo yarahiye ashiraho.”+
4 Nkimara kubyumva nicara hasi ndarira, mara iminsi mfite agahinda, narigomwe kurya no kunywa,+ ari na ko nkomeza gusenga Imana yo mu ijuru.
5 Nuko ndavuga nti: “Yehova Mana yo mu ijuru, Mana ikomeye kandi iteye ubwoba, ni wowe usohoza ibyo wasezeranyije kandi ukagaragariza urukundo rudahemuka abagukunda, bakurikiza amategeko yawe.+
6 Ndakwinginze tega amatwi isengesho nsenga buri munsi+ nsabira abagaragu bawe ari bo Bisirayeli. Rwose twiteho, wumve isengesho ngusenga nkubwira ibyaha Abisirayeli bagukoreye. Twese abagaragu bawe twakoze ibyaha.+
7 Rwose twaraguhemukiye+ ntitwakurikiza amabwiriza n’amategeko wahaye umugaragu wawe Mose.+
8 “Ndakwinginze, ibuka ibyo wabwiye umugaragu wawe Mose ugira uti: ‘nimutanyumvira, nzabatatanyiriza mu bihugu byinshi.+
9 Ariko nimwikosora mukumvira amategeko yanjye nubwo mwaba mwaratatanye mukagera ku mpera y’isi, nzabakurayo+ mbazane ahantu natoranyije kugira ngo hitirirwe izina ryanjye.’+
10 Ni abagaragu bawe bakaba n’abantu bawe wakijije ukoresheje imbaraga zawe nyinshi n’ukuboko kwawe gukomeye.+
11 Yehova, ndakwinginze tega amatwi isengesho ryanjye n’isengesho ry’abagaragu bawe bubaha izina ryawe. Uyu munsi umfashe, maze uyu mugabo angirire impuhwe, ampe ibyo ngiye kumusaba.”+
Icyo gihe ni njye wari ushinzwe guha umwami divayi.+
