Nehemiya 1:1-11
1 Mazgu gha Nehemiya*+ mwana wa Hakaliya. Mu mwezi wa Kisilevi,* mu chaka cha 20, nkhaŵa mu msumba wa Shushani.*+
2 Pa nyengo yira, Hanani,+ yumoza wa ŵabali ŵane, wakiza na ŵanalume ŵanyake kufuma ku Yuda. Nkhaŵafumba vya Ŵayuda ŵakukhalapo awo ŵakalutako yayi ku wuzga,+ na vya Yerusalemu.
3 Iwo ŵakati: “Awo ŵali kukhalako mu chigaŵa chira, awo ŵakalutako yayi ku wuzga ŵali mu suzgo yikuru na soni.+ Viliŵa vya Yerusalemu vili kubwanganduka,+ ndipo vipata vyake vili kuwotcheka na moto.”+
4 Nkhati napulika waka mazgu agha, nkhakhala pasi, nkhalira na kutengera mazuŵa ghanandi. Nkhaziŵizga kurya+ na kulomba pamaso pa Chiuta wakuchanya.
5 Nkhati: “A Yehova Chiuta wa kuchanya, Chiuta mukuru na wakofya, uyo wakusunga phangano lake na kulongora lusungu* ku awo ŵakumutemwa na kusungilira malango ghake.+
6 Nkhumuŵeyani, khutu linu litegherezge, maso ghinu ghajulike kuti mupulike lurombo lwa muteŵeti winu ulo nkhulomba kwa imwe muhanya uno. Nkhulomba muhanya na usiku+ chifukwa cha ŵateŵeti ŵinu, Ŵaisrayeli, uku nkhuzomera zakwananga izo Ŵaisrayeli ŵamuchitirani. Tananga, tose ine na nyumba ya ŵadada.+
7 Tamuchitirani nadi uheni,+ tindasungilire malango, ulongozgi, na vyeruzgo ivyo mukapeleka kwa muteŵeti winu Mozesi.+
8 “Sono nkhumuŵeyani, kumbukani mazgu agho mukaphalira* muteŵeti winu Mozesi, ghakuti: ‘Usange mwamuchita mwambura kugomezgeka, namumumbininiskirani mu ŵamitundu.+
9 Kweni usange mwawelera kwa ine na kusunga malango ghane na kughapulikira, nanga ŵanthu ŵinu ŵakumbininika ŵangaŵa ku vigoti vya kuchanya, namuŵawunganya+ kwenekura na kwiza nawo ku malo agho nasora kuŵikako zina lane.’+
10 Mbateŵeti ŵinu na ŵanthu ŵinu, awo mukaŵawombora na nkhongono zinu zikuru na woko linu lankhongono.+
11 A Yehova, nkhumuŵeyani, khutu linu litegherezge lurombo lwa muteŵeti winu, na lurombo lwa ŵateŵeti ŵinu awo ŵakukondwa na kopa zina linu. Nkhumuŵeyani, movwirani muteŵeti winu muhanya uno kuti vinthu vimwendere makora ndipo munthu uyu wanichitire chiwuravi.”+
Ine nkhaŵa wakupelekera vyakumwa kwa themba.+
