Anka Efile Mukulu eetu baadi mushintuule mulua wafika miabi. 3 Nka baki’abapusha Muiya, bababangile kukatusha bantu boso benyi mu Isalele.*

4 Kumpala kua bino, tshite muakuidi baadi atala tudimbo tua kulamina bintu* tua nshibo* y’Efile Mukulu eetu baadi Eliashibe, mukuabo na Tobia. 5 Eliashibe baadi mupe Tobia kadimbo kakata ka kulamina bintu, mubaabadi kumpala abatuulu mulambu wa ntete, oliba, na bintu na ki’ekumi kia ntete, nfinyo ipia, na muimu bibaabadi batume eyi bua kupa bena Levi, tuyimba, na balami ba ku biibi, pamune na kia buntu bua ba tshite muakuidi.

6 Mu aa mafuku oso ntshinaadi mu Yelusalema, muanda nayile kui nfumu Artakesese a Babilone mu kipua kia 32 kia kumunana kuaye; na kunyima kua mafuku natekiele nfumu matalua bua kuenda. 7 Akupu nafikile ku Yelusalema na namona muanda wibubi bukile ubaadi Eliashibe mukite p’aye kupa Tobia kadimbo ka kulamina bintu mu lupango lua nshibo y’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi. 8 Bino tabibaadi binsankishe su nkapeela, biabia ami nkusumbula bintu bioso bia mu nshibo ya Tobia paasha pa kadimbo ka kulamina bintu. 9 Kunyima kua biabia natumine eyi, na abo nkusuula tudimbo tua kulamina bintu; na ami nkualusha muanka bintu bia nshibo y’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi, pamune na mulambu wa ntete na oliba.

10 Dingi napetele’shi tababaadi abapa bena Levi bintu bibaadi abitungu’shi bebape, biabia bena Levi na tuyimba babaadi abafubu babaadi bakatukie, benda muntu oso ku efuba diaye. 11 Biabia naadi musaashile bindonda bia bakunkushi na nakula’shi: “Buakinyi nshibo y’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi ibalenguulua?” Akupu nebabungile pamune na nebalusha ku mifubo yabo. 12 Bena Yunda boso babafikile na ki’ekumi kia ntete, kia nfinyo ipia, na kia muimu mu tudimbo tua kulamina bintu. 13 Akupu natudile tshite muakuidi Shelemeya, Zadoke muntu atentulaa bifundue,* na Pedaya umune a ku bena Levi bua kutala tudimbo tua kulamina bintu, Anana muana a Zakure muana a Matanya baadi mukuashi aabo, muanda bano bantu babaadi bantu ba kukulupila. Mufubo wabo ubaadi wa kuabila bakuabo bintu.

14 Ô Efile Mukulu ande, ntentekieshe namu pabitale uno muanda, na tolubanga bikitshino biande bia kifulo kia lulamato biandi mukite bua nshibo y’Efile Mukulu ande na bua mifubo yayo.*

15 Mu aa mafuku namuene bantu ba mu Yunda abafuntu tukuba tua nfinyo mu ma mbalo a kufuntshila tukuba tua nfinyo muifuku dia Sabato, babunganga mituto ya ntete na beyitentekanga pa ma mpunda, na batuelanga na nfinyo, tukuba tua nfinyo, tukuba tua nfigiye, na bushito bua mishindo yoso mu Yelusalema muifuku dia Sabato. Biabia naadi muibadimushe bua’shi tabaudishanga bintu mu diadia efuku.* 16 Na bena Tiire babaadi bashale mu kibundi, babaadi abafiki na mishipa na bintu bia kuudisha bia mishindo yoso, baudishanga bianka kui bantu ba mu Yunda na mu Yelusalema muifuku dia Sabato. 17 Biabia ami nkusaashila bantu ba kinemo ba Yunda na nkuibalungula’shi: “Muanda kinyi wibubi bui bino wa nukuete kukita, anukutua kunemeka mpa n’efuku dia sabato? 18 Bino ta nyi bibaadi bamashenu kulu bakite, biabia Efile Mukulu eetu nkufuisha dino dikienga dioso kuatudi na ku kino kibundi su? Binobino bu bianushikuete kunemeka sabato, nukuete kufuimisha nsungu y’Efile Mukulu kui Isalele.”

19 Biabia pabaadi nguba t’atuele naadi mutume eyi buabadia kukanga biibi bia ku bibelo bia Yelusalema kumpala kua Sabato kubanga. Naadi dingi mutume eyi buashi tabakangulanga biibi mpa na apapu Sabato, na ami nkutuula bangi ba ku bafubi bande ku biibi buashi muntu su ngumune tatuelanga na bushito muifuku dia Sabato. 20 Biabia ba nsunga na bantu abaudishaa bintu bia mishindo yoso, babaadi balale paasha pa Yelusalema dimune sunga kabidi. 21 Akupu ami nkuibadimusha na nkuibalungula’shi: “Buakinyi nukuete kulala paasha kumpala kua mudimba? Su nubakitshi dingi bino, nenubingi pa bukopo.” Kubanga nka paapa ta mbafikie dingi muifuku dia Sabato.

22 Na naadi mulungule bena Levi buabadia kuikala na kiubishi kia kuitoosha na kufika mu kulama biibi bua kulama efuku dia Sabato dia kishila. Bua bino dingi, ntentekieshe namu pabitale uno muanda, Ô Efile Mukulu ande, na ondeshe lusa muyile kifulo kiobe kia lulamato ki bungi.

23 Mu aa mafuku, naadi mumone dingi bena Yunda babaadi bebakile* bakashi bena Ashedode, bena Amone na bena Moabe. 24 Kia pankatshi kia bana babo kibaadi aki’akula kina Ashedode, na kingi kia pankatshi kibaadi aki’akula ndimi ya miilo ilekenelekene, anka su ngumune a kuabadi tabaadi auku kuakula ludimi lua bena Yunda. 25 Biabia ami nkuibasaashila, nkuibela mulua, na nkukupila bangi bana balume, ami nkuibatukula nyene na nkuibatshipisha muishina di’Efile Mukulu’shi: “T’abitungu nupe bana babo balume bana benu bakashi, na t’abitungu nukumiine bana babo bakashi bua bana benu balume sunga buenu. 26 Ta mpa muanda wabo ubaadi Salomone nfumu a Isalele mukite miluisho? Ta kubaadi nfumu bu aye munkatshi mua miilo ibungi; na Efile Mukulu aaye baadi mumufule, nyi buakinyi Efile Mukulu baadi mumutuule bu nfumu a Isalele. Anka bakashi benyi nkumutakula mpa n’aye mu kukita miluisho. 27 Ta nkibeshi kibanukitshi p’anue kukita muanda wibubi bui bino bukata pa kukutua lulamato kui Efile Mukulu eetu p’anue kuibakila bakashi benyi?”

28 Umune a ku bana ba Yoyada muana a tshite muakuidi mukata Eliashibe bekeele muko a Sanabalata muina Orone. Biabia ami nkumubinga kula nami.

29 Ô Efile Mukulu ande, ebatentekieshe namu, muanda mbaluishe bu tshite muakuidi na kilombeno kiobe na ba tshite muakuidi na bena Levi.

30 Na naadi muibatooshe ku butete boso bua bantu benyi, akupu natuudile ba tshite muakuidi na bena Levi ku mifubo, muntu oso ku mufubo waye, 31 Na n’atshile mpango buashi bekale abatuala nteete mu mafuku atshibibue na pabitale biumbuluanga bia kumpala.
