2 mpoonya aawo Sanibalati a Gesemu bakatuma mulumbe ooyu kulindime: “Koboola tumvwane ciindi ncotukonzya kuswaangana mukanzi kamwi kamu Cibanda ca Ono.”+ Pele makanze aabo akali aakundilwana.
3 Aboobo ndakatuma batumwa kuti bakabaambile kuti: “Mulimo ngondicita mupati kapati aboobo tandikonzyi kuboola ooko. Nkaambo ikuti naa ndaboola ooko, mulimo ulaima.”
4 Bakanditumina mulumbe ngweena kwaziindi zyone, pele ndakabavwiila amajwi ngeena.
5 Mpoonya Sanibalati wakatuma mubelesi wakwe amulumbe ngweena kwaciindi casanu, kajisi alugwalo lutajedwe mumaanza aakwe.
6 Mulugwalo oolu kwakalembedwe kuti: “Kuli maŋunuŋunu akati kabamasi, alimwi awalo Gesemu+ ulimukwaamba mbubonya oobo kuti, yebo aba Juda mukanza kuzanga.+ Nkakaambo kaako ncoli mukuyaka bwaanda; alimwi kweelana amakani ngotwamvwa, yebo uyanda kuba mwami wabo.
7 Alimwi wasala basinsimi kuti baambilizye kujatikizya nduwe mu Jerusalemu yoonse kuti, ‘Kuli mwami mucisi ca Juda!’ Lino mwami ulaambilwa makani aaya oonse. Aboobo koboola tuswaangane kutegwa twaabandike makani aaya.”
8 Nokuba boobo ndakamutumina mulomo wakuti: “Zintu eezyi nzyoamba tazili zyamasimpe pe; nzyakuliyeeyela buyo omwini.”*
9 Boonse bakali kuyanda kutukonga kabaamba kuti: “Maanza aabo alabula nguzu zyakubeleka alimwi mulimo ooyu tuukoomana.”+ Lino ndapaila, kondiyumya.+
10 Mpoonya ndakaunka kuŋanda ya Semaya mwana wa Delaya mwana wa Mehetabele oomo mwaakalijalilide. Eelyo wakati: “Atupangane ciindi cakuswaangana kuŋanda ya Leza mwini-mwini mukati katempele akujala milyango yatempele, nkaambo balaboola kuzookujaya. Ncobeni balaboola masiku kuzookujaya.”
11 Pele ndakati: “Sena muntu uuli mbuli ndime ulakonzya kutija? Sena muntu uuli mbuli ndime ulakonzya kunjila mutempele akupona?+ Tandikoonjila pe!”
12 Mpoonya ndakazyiba kuti tali Leza iwakamutuma pe, pele kuti Tobiya a Sanibalati+ bakalimuulide buya kutegwa aambe businsimi oobu kujatikizya ndime.
13 Wakaulwa buya kutegwa andiyoosye akundipa kubisya kutegwa bandibisizye zina akundisampaula.
14 Komuyeeya O Leza wangu, Tobiya+ a Sanibalati kujatikizya micito eeyi njobacita, alimwi a Noadiya musinsimi mukaintu abasinsimi bambi boonse ibakali kusola kundiyoosya lyoonse.
15 Aboobo bwaanda bwakamana kuyakwa mubuzuba bwa 25 bwamwezi wa Eluli,* mumazuba aali 52.
16 Lino basinkondoma boonse mbobakaamvwida buyo makani aaya, masi woonse aazingulukide aalo naakamvwa boobo, akafwa nsoni kapati*+ alimwi akazyiba kuti ngu Leza wesu wakatugwasya kuti mulimo ooyu ubelekwe.
17 Kuciindi eeco bantu balemekwa+ bamu Juda bakali kulemba magwalo manji kuli Tobiya alimwi awalo wakali kwaasandula magwalo aayo.
18 Banji mu Juda bakakonka kuba kulubazu lwakwe, nkaambo wakali mukwe wa Sekaniya mwana wa Ara,+ alimwi Jehohanana mwanaakwe wakakwete mwana musimbi wa Mesulamu+ mwana wa Berekiya.
19 Alimwi lyoonse bakali kundaambila zintu zibotu kujatikizya nguwe mpoonya awalo bakali kumwaambila majwi ngondakali kwaamba. Kumane Tobiya wakali kundilembela magwalo aakundikonga.+
