1 Abandu booshi, banakuumana i Yerusaleemu, mu lubuga úluli imbere lyoꞌmulyango gwaꞌMiiji, banabwira umwigiriza Hizira, kwo aleete Ikitaabo kyeꞌmaaja za Musa. Yizo Maaja, zinali zo Nahano akaheereza Abahisiraheeri. 2 Neꞌri hakaba mu mwezi gwa kalinda, ku lusiku lwa mbere, Hizira anakileeta imbere lya booshi. Na mu kati kaabo, mwâli riiri abashosi, naꞌbakazi, na ngiisi bandi ábangasobanukirwa.
3-4 Ku yikyo kyanya, bâli mali yabiira ibiti, banayubaka ikiyimangiro kila, imbere lyoꞌLwivi lwaꞌMiiji, gira Hizira alonge ho agayimanga. Anayimanga yaho, anatondeera ukubasomera íbiri mu kitaabo, ukulyokera ku kyanya izuuba likahuluka, halinde kalenge-renge. Yabo booshi, banaba shee, mu kumúyuvwiriza.
Uluhande lweꞌlulyo, hâli yimaaziri Matitiya, na Shema, na Hanaya, na Huriya, na Hirikiya, na Maseya. Noꞌluhande lweꞌlumosho, hâli yimaaziri Pedaya, na Mishaheeri, na Malikiya, na Hashumu, na Hashebadana, na Zakariya, na Meshulamu.
5 Hizira âli yimaaziri áhayinamusiri, ho ngiisi mundu angamúbona. Neꞌri akabunguula ikitaabo, yabo bandu booshi banayimanga. 6 Hizira anatee tanga kongwa imwa Nahano, bwo ali Rurema wa kahebuuza. Yabo booshi, banadumeereza mu kulengeza amaboko, ti: «Bikizi ba kwokwo, bikizi ba kwokwo!» Banafukama imbere lya Nahano, mu kuhisa amalanga haashi, banakizi múyikumba.
7 Neꞌkyanya bakashubi yimanga, yizo maaja, Abalaawi banakizi zisobanulira abandu. Mu yabo Balaawi, mwâli riiri Yeshuha, na Baani, na Sherebiya, na Yamini, na Hakubu, na Shabetayi, na Hodiya, na Maseya, na Kerita, na Hazariya, na Yozabadi, na Hanani, na Pelaya. 8 Bâli gweti bagaasoma mu kitaabo kyeꞌmaaja za Rurema, iri banakizi kisobaanura ku bweranyange, banakizi tanga umugeeza nirizina gwa ngiisi igambo, halinde abandu banakizi sobanukirwa bwija.
9 Yago magambo geꞌmaaja, iri yabo bandu bakagayuvwa, banatulikira mu malira. Uyo guvuruneeri Nehemiya, noꞌmugingi Hizira, umunabumenyi ku byeꞌmaaja, kuguma na yabo Balaawi ábali kizi basobaanulira amandiko, banabwira abandu booshi, ti: «Luno lusiku, lukoli talwirwi imwa Rurema Nahamwitu. Aahago! Mutakizi ki jengeerwa, kandi iri kulira.»
10 Nehemiya anashubi babwira kwokuno: «Mutee taahaga, mugendi baza ibyokulya íbiheshiri, munanywe neꞌbinywebwa binunu. Neꞌri hangaba hali ábabuziri byo bagaleeta, mushangiire ibyeꞌmwinyu mwe nabo. Luno lusiku lukoli talwirwi imwa Nahamwitu. Ku yukwo, mutabe noꞌmwizingeerwe. Mukuba, ikyanya muli mu shambaalira Nahano, lyo muli mu longa imisi.»
11 Yabo Balaawi, nabo banakizi holeeza abandu, ti: «Mutakizi lira, maashi! Si luno lusiku lukoli talwirwi imwa Rurema. Mulekage ukukizi jengeerwa.»
12 Kwokwo, yabo booshi, banataaha, gira bagendi lya, bananywe. Banakizi shangiira ibyokulya byabo, banagira ulusiku lukulu ku bushambaale. Mukuba, ikyanya Abalaawi bâli kizi bamenyeesa amagambo ga Rurema, lyeryo banayami gasobanukirwa.
Abahisiraheeri bagira ulusiku lukulu lweꞌbitunda
13 Iri bukakya, abimangizi beꞌmbaga zaꞌBahisiraheeri, kuguma naꞌbagingi naꞌBalaawi, banakungamira Hizira, umunabumenyi ku byeꞌmaaja. Mukuba, bâli loziizi kwo abayigirize bwija.
14 Ikyanya bakaziyitegeereza, banabona kwo Nahano akabwira Musa kweꞌkyanya kyoꞌlusiku lukulu lwoꞌmwezi gwa kalinda, Abahisiraheeri bakwaniini bakizi beera mu bitunda.* 8.14-15 Balaawi 23.33-36, 39-43; Bukengeeze 16.13-15. 15 Na Musa âli mali gwanwa ababwira kwo bakizi genda bagamenyeesa mu twaya twoshi, kiri na mu Yerusaleemu, ti: «Mugendage mu migazi, munakizi leeta amatavi geꞌmizehituuni mimereerera, kandi iri íkabyalwa. Munaleete naꞌmatavi geꞌmihadasi, na yeꞌbigazi, neꞌbindi biti byoꞌkuyubaka ibitunda, nga kwo biyandisirwi mu maaja.»
16 Kwokwo, abandu banagendi leeta amatavi, banayubaka ibitunda ku nyumba zaabo, na mu mbuga zaabo, kiri na mu mbuga zeꞌnyumba ya Rurema, na mu lubuga úluli imbere lyoꞌmulyango gwaꞌMiiji, na mu lubuga lwoꞌLwivi lwa Hifurahimu. 17 Yabo booshi ábâli lyosiri i Babeeri, banayubaka ibitunda, banabeera mwo. Yulwo lusiku, lwâli lwoꞌbushambaale bweneene. Ukulyokera ikyanya Yoshwa, mugala Nuuni âli ki tuuziri ho, batâli zaazi shambaalira ulusiku lukulu mwene yulwo. Emwe! Bâli koli shambiiri ngana.
18 Mu yizo siku zooshi, ngiisi mulege-rege, Hizira âli kizi somera abandu amagambo mu kitaabo kyeꞌmaaja za Rurema kwiꞌzu lihamu, gira bagayuvwe. Yizo siku ngulu, zikamala isiku zirinda. Na ku lusiku úlugira umunaana, abandu booshi banakuumana, nga kwoꞌlubaaja ludesiri.
