Nehemia wakwasia bapabi
1Pa kyamba kwaunvwikile mizowa ya bantu, ni ya bakazi babo, baali balimukwitendookela Bayuda nabo. 2Bantu baali balanda nangue, “Fwefue ni baana betu balalume ni banakazi tuvulile, kansi tupalile kupeeluako nghano tulie tukeeza kufua.”
3Kwaali ni bange baali balanda nangue, “Twakibiikia makaba etu kuba kikwatizi, ni makaba a mizabibu, ni nghanda yetu, pakuti tukabe ni nghano pa musita wa nzala.”
4Kabili bange baali balanda nangue, “Twakikopa nfolanga ya kuti tukasonke musonko wa bisonso byetu, ni makaba a mizabibu kuli likolo. 5Fwefue tuli sie bantu bamo, ni baana betu bali sie nga baana babo. Anzia kili evio, tupatikiziiziwe kutwala baana betu mu buzia, ni bamo ba mu baana betu bakazyana tebasyali kale bazia, tetuli na ka kukita pantu bisoka byetu, ni makaba etu a mizabibu tebisyapokelue na bantu bange.”
6Naafiitilue sana lunaunvwile kwitendooka kwabo ni bulanzi bwabo. 7#Kuf 22.25; Bal 25.35-37; Mam 23.19-20 Pa kyamba, naamwene kuti nsoke babiloolo ni bakateeka nabaana nangue, “Mwemue mulimwakopia bya kaloba ku bantu.”
Ni pakako, naakolonghaniizie bantu bengi kuti nande nabo. 8Naabaanine nangue, “Fwefue kukonkana ni buvinde bwetu, twakilubula Bayuda netu baasitilue na Bazima. Eba, kabili ni mwemue temwakeba kubasisia kuti ni fwe tubasite paakale?” Tepaali muntu waalandilepo kantu, bonse baikeele sie tondolo.
9Kabili naalandile evi, “Bintu bimulimukukita tebiweme. Ale mwa-andiluaki kutiina Leza wetu evi balwani betu Bazima tekuti baye bali na nsambu ya kuya batutuka? 10Ni nene wenka ni balupua bane pamo ni babombi bane, ndinabakopesia nfolanga ni nghano. Ni pakako, tulekele kukopia bya kaloba. 11Ale babweziizie byonse bimwaali mwabakopia bya kaloba: bisonso byabo, makaba a mizabibu, ni makaba a mizeituni, ni nghanda yabo, pamo ni kibwezia kyonse kimwaalundilepo pa nfolanga, ni pa nghano, ni pa divai pamo ni pa mafuta.”
12Kupwako, ni bo balanda nangue, “Tulikubabweziizia, kabili tetukasonza kantu ka kaloba kuli bene, tulikukita muwalandila.”
Naakuutile babitambua, evi babiloolo ni bakateeka balape nangue baakakita nga mubaalandiile. 13Pa kyamba, naakunkile nkanzu yane nalanda nangue, “Kubalua muntu asikaba kufikilizia keki kilapo, Leza amukunke ni kumufumia mu nghanda yakue pamo ni mu miilo yakue. Akunkike pasili kusyala na kantu.”
Libumba lyonse lyaalandile nangue, “Evio sile. Yawe alumbue.” Bantu ni bo baakitile nga vibaalapile.
