13 ¹Tsiku limenelo anawerengera anthu buku la Mose mokweza mawu, napeza lili lolembedwa kuti palibe Mwamoni kapena Mwamowabu amene ayenera kulowa m'mpingo wa Atate wathu, ²chifukwa sanakumane ndi Aisraeli ndi buledi ndi madzi, koma analemba ganyu Balamu kuti amuukire ndi kuwatemberera — koma Atate wathu anasandutsa temberero kukhala dalitso. ³Anthu atangomva Chilamulo, anapatula mwa Israeli aliyense wa mtundu wachilendo.

⁴Izi zisanachitike, Eliyasibu wansembe, amene anaikidwa kuyang'anira zipinda zosungiramo za nyumba ya Atate wathu, anali pa chibwenzi chapamtima ndi Tobiya. ⁵Ndipo anamkonzera chipinda chachikulu, mmene mkati mwake ankasunga nsembe za chakudya, lubani, ziwiya za m'kachisi, ndi chakhumi cha tirigu, vinyo watsopano, ndi mafuta zoperekedwa kwa Alevi, oimba, ndi alonda a zipata, pamodzi ndi chopereka cha ansembe. ⁶Pa zonsezi ine sindinali mu Yerusalemu, pakuti m'chaka cha makumi atatu ndi chiwiri cha Aritasasita mfumu ya Babeloni ndinapita kwa mfumu. Patapita nthawi ndinapempha chilolezo chake kuti ndichoke, ⁷Ndinabwerera ku Yerusalemu, ndipo ndinazindikira choyipa chimene Eliyasibu anamchitira Tobiya, pomkonzera chipinda m'mabwalo a nyumba ya Atate wathu. ⁸Ndinamva chisoni kwambiri, ndipo ndinaponya katundu yense wa m'nyumba wa Tobiya kunja kwa chipinda. ⁹Choncho ndinalamula kuti ayeretse zipinda, ndipo ndinabwezeramo ziwiya za nyumba ya Atate wathu, nsembe za chakudya ndi lubani.

¹⁰Ndinapezanso kuti magawo a Alevi sanawapatse, kotero Alevi ndi oimba amene ankagwira ntchito anathawira aliyense ku munda wake. ¹¹Choncho ndinadzudzula akuluakulu, nati, “Chifukwa chiyani nyumba ya Atate wathu yasiyidwa?” Ndipo ndinasonkhanitsa Alevi, nawabwezera pa malo awo. ¹²Choncho Yuda yense anabweretsa chakhumi cha tirigu, vinyo watsopano, ndi mafuta ku nyumba zosungiramo. ¹³Ndinaika Selemiya wansembe, Zadoki mlembi, ndi Pedaya Mlevi kuti ayang'anire nyumba zosungiramo, ndipo Hanani mwana wa Zakuri mwana wa Mataniya ankawathandiza, pakuti anali okhulupirika; ntchito yawo inali yogawira zinthu kwa Alevi anzawo.

¹⁴Mundikumbukire pa zimenezi, Atate wanga; musafafanize ntchito zokhulupirika zimene ndachita za nyumba ya Atate wanga ndi utumiki wake.

¹⁵Masiku amenewo ndinaona anthu mu Yuda akuponda mopondera vinyo tsiku la Sabata, akuseneza milu ya tirigu nawasenzetsa abulu, pamodzi ndi vinyo, mpesa, nkhuyu, ndi mitolo ya mtundu uliwonse, nazibweretsa ku Yerusalemu tsiku la Sabata. Choncho tsiku limenelo ndinawachenjeza za kugulitsa chakudya. ¹⁶Anthu a ku Turo amene ankakhala kumeneko anabweretsa nsomba ndi katundu wa mtundu uliwonse, nawagulitsa tsiku la Sabata kwa anthu a Yuda, mu Yerusalemu momwemo. ¹⁷Choncho ndinadzudzula olemekezeka a Yuda, nati kwa iwo, “Nchiyani chinthu choyipa ichi chimene mukuchita, kudetsa tsiku la Sabata? ¹⁸Kodi makolo anu sanachite izi, ndipo Atate wathu sanatibweretsere tsoka lonseli pa ife ndi pa mzinda uwu? Ndipo tsopano mukuwonjezera mkwiyo woposa pa Israeli pokudetsa Sabata.”

¹⁹Choncho pamene zipata za Yerusalemu zinayamba kuda Sabata isanafike, ndinalamula kuti atseke zitseko, kuti zisatsekulidwe mpaka Sabata itatha. Ndinaika ena a antchito anga pa zipata kuti mtolo uliwonse usalowe tsiku la Sabata. ²⁰Kamodzi kapena kawiri amalonda ndi ogulitsa katundu wa mtundu uliwonse anagona kunja kwa Yerusalemu. ²¹Choncho ndinawachenjeza, nati, “Chifukwa chiyani mukugona pafupi ndi khoma? Mukatero kachiwirinso, ndidzagwira dzanja pa inu.” Kuyambira pamenepo, sanabwerenso tsiku la Sabata. ²²Ndipo ndinalamula Alevi kuti adziyeretse, adzalondere zipata, ndi kuyeretsa tsiku la Sabata. Mundikumbukirenso ine pa zimenezi, Atate wanga, mundilekerere molingana ndi chifundo chanu chachikulu chosatha.

²³Masiku amenewo ndinaonanso Ayuda amene anakwatira akazi a ku Asidodi, a ku Amoni, ndi a ku Mowabu. ²⁴Theka la ana awo amalankhula chinenero cha Asidodi, kapena cha mtundu wina, ndipo sankadziwa kulankhula chinenero cha Yuda. ²⁵Choncho ndinawadzudzula, nawatemberera, nakwapula ena a amunawo, ndi kuwazula tsitsi lawo. Ndinawalumbiritsa mwa Atate wathu, nati, “Musapereke ana anu aakazi kwa ana awo aamuna, kapena kutengera ana anu aamuna ana awo aakazi, kapena inu nomwe. ²⁶Kodi maukwati otere sanachimwitse Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli? Pakati pa mitundu yambiri panalibe mfumu yofanana naye; Atate wathu anamkonda, ndipo Atate wathu anamuika kukhala mfumu ya Israeli yense. Komabe akazi achilendo anamtsogolera iye yemwe ku uchimo. ²⁷Kodi tikumvereni inu, ndi kuchita choyipa chachikulu chonsechi, kukhala osakhulupirika kwa Atate wathu pokwatira akazi achilendo?”

²⁸Mmodzi wa ana a Yehoyada, mwana wa Eliyasibu mkulu wa ansembe, anali mkamwini wa Sanibalati Mhoroni, kotero ndinamuthamangitsa kuchoka kwa ine. ²⁹Muwakumbukire iwo, Atate wanga, chifukwa anadetsa unsembe, ndi pangano la unsembe ndi la Alevi.

³⁰Choncho ndinawayeretsa ku chilichonse chachilendo, ndipo ndinawapatsa ntchito za ansembe ndi za Alevi, aliyense pa ntchito yake. ³¹Ndinakonza nsembe ya nkhuni pa nthawi zokhazikika, ndi zipatso zoyamba. Mundikumbukire ine mwa ubwino, Atate wanga.
