Neemiya 6:1-19
6 Pidadziwiswa Sambalate, Tobhiya,+ Jesemu wa ku Arabhya+ pabodzi na anyamalwa athu anango kuti ndamala kumanga pontho mpanda+ na kufunga mabenga onsene (maseze ndikhadzati kuikha misuwo mikulu ya mpanda),+
2 mwakukhonda dembuka Sambalate na Jesemu, anditumizira mphangwa zakuti: “Tende tibverane toera tikaonane mucisa cibodzi ca Gowa ya Ono.”+ Mbwenye iwo akhacita masasanyiro toera kundicita pyakuipa.
3 Natenepa, ndatuma anthu toera akaapange kuti: “Ndiri kuphata basa ikulu kakamwe, nee ndinakwanisa kuenda kweneko. Thangwi yanji ndisafunika kulimirisa basa mbandibwera kuna imwe?”
4 Iwo anditumizira mphangwa zibodzi zene kanai, mbwenye ine ndikhaatawira munjira ibodzi ene.
5 Natenepa, Sambalate atumiza kuna ine ntumiki wace kacixanu na mphangwa zibodzi zene, iye akhali na tsamba yakukhonda fungwa m’manja mwace.
6 Tsamba ineyi ikhadalembwa tenepa: “Pyabveka pakati pa anthu a madzindza anango, pontho Jesemu+ asalongambo pibodzi pyene kuti iwe pabodzi na Ayuda muli kucita masasanyiro toera kupomokera mambo.+ Na thangwi ineyi muli kumanga mpanda; pontho mwakubverana na mphangwa zenezi, iwe unadzakhala mambo wawo.
7 Kusiyapo pyenepi, iwe wasankhula aprofeta toera amwaze mphangwa mu Yerusalemu zinalonga pya iwe kuti: ‘Cincino mu dziko ya Yuda muli na mambo!’ Pontho mphangwa zenezi zinadziwiswa mambo. Natenepa, bwera toera ticedze thangwi ya pyenepi.”
8 Mbwenye ine ndantumizira ntawiro uyu: “Pinthu pyonsene pinalonga iwe, nee cibodzi cidacitika; basi ene wacita kupinyerezera.”*
9 Onsene akhayesera kutithusa, mbalonga: “Iwo anadzafewa manungo,* mbacimwana kumalisa basa.”+ Na thangwi ineyi, ine ndaphembera: “Mulungu, ndipaseni cipapo.”*+
10 Buluka penepo, ndaenda kunyumba kwa Semaya mwana wamamuna wa Dhelaya, ndzukulu wa Metabheli, wakuti akhadafungirika n’nyumba. Iye alonga: “Tende tibverane toera tikaonane kunyumba ya Mulungu wandimomwene, nkati mwa templo, mbatifunga misuwo ya templo, thangwi iwo anabwera toera kukupha. Iwo anabwera namasiku toera kukupha.”
11 Mbwenye ine ndalonga: “Kodi mamuna ninga ine asafunika kuthawa? Kodi mamuna ninga ine anakwanisa kupita mu templo mbakhala m’maso?+ Ine nkhabe kuenda kapitamo!”
12 Penepo ine ndadzindikira kuti iye nee akhadatumwa na Mulungu, mbwenye ndi Tobhiya na Sambalate+ akhadamulipa kobiri toera andinyengeze.
13 Iye akhadaguliwa toera andithuse na kundicitisa kuti ndidawe. Munjira ineyi, iwo mbadakhala na mathangwi toera kupswipisa makhaliro anga na kundipwaza.
14 Mulungu wanga, kumbukani pinthu pyonsene pidacita Tobhiya+ na Sambalate, kumbukanimbo pidacita Noadhiya mprofeta wankazi na aprofeta anango akuti kazinji kene akhayesera kundithusa.
15 Natenepa, basa yakumanga mpanda yamaliswa pa ntsiku 25 ya mwezi wa Eluli.* Basa ineyi yamala ntsiku 52.
16 Anyamalwa athu onsene pidabva iwo pyenepi, pontho anthu a pisa pyonsene pya cifupi pidaona iwo pyenepi, apasika manyadzo kakamwe,+ mbadzindikira kuti basa ineyi yafika kunkhomo thangwi ya ciphedzo ca Mulungu wathu.
17 Mu ntsiku zenezi, atsogoleri+ a ku Yuda akhatumiza matsamba mazinji kuna Tobhiya, pontho Tobhiya akhaatawira.
18 Anthu azinji ku Yuda akhadadumbira kuti mbadakhala akukhulupirika kuna iye, thangwi iye akhali nkamwene wa Sekaniya mwana wamamuna wa Araa.+ Pontho Yeowanani mwana wamamuna wa Tobhiya akhadasemba mwana wankazi wa Mesulamu,+ wakuti akhali mwana wamamuna wa Bherekiya.
19 Kusiyapo pyenepi, ndzidzi onsene iwo akhandipanga pinthu pyadidi thangwi ya Tobhiya. Pontho iwo akhampangambo pinthu pikhalonga ine. Natenepa, Tobhiya akhatumiza matsamba toera kundigopesa.+
