Esida Wusosa Basadi ba Nzu

Yábakhundakanisa kuna nzadi yina yisi kwenda ku Ahava, amana twázakala hana bilumbu bitatu. Buna yátala batu yi banganga Nzambi, yamónaku bana ba Lefi ku hana. Amana yátuma musanda bapfumu Edyezedi, Aliyele, Shemaya, Elenatani, Yalibi, Elenatani, Natani, Zekaliya yi Meshulami, yi batu ba ngangu Yoyalibi yi Elenatani. Yábatuma kwena Ido, pfumu wa ku Kasifya, amana yábazimbwala mana bafweti zonza kwena yandi yi kwena biwutu byandi, basadi ba nzu ya Nzambi bana bakala hana, hanga batunatina basadi ba nzu ya Tata wetu. Mu koku kwa mboti kwa Tata wetu kuna kwakala hana betu, bátunata mutu mosi wa ngangu mu bana ba Mahali mwana wa Lefi mwana wa Isaleli: Shelebya, kumosi yi bana bandi yi baphangi bandi, kumi yi nana. Hashabya, kumosi yandi Yeshaya mu bana ba Melali, yi baphangi bandi yi bana ba bawu—boosu makumodi, yi basadi ba nzu ya Nzambi khama zoodi yi makumodi, bana báheka Tavidi yi bapfumu bandi mu kusadila balefi—boosu básonama mazina ma bawu.

Buna hana, kuna nzadi Ahava, yázimbudi ni tufweti kuzila madya, hanga tudikulumuna ku mesu ma Tata wetu amana tusosa kwena yandi nzila ya ngemba kikuma kya betu, yi bana betu, yi bima byetu byosu. Yámona nsoni mu kulomba kwena kyamvu baphumbulu yi bakwa baphunda mu kututanina ku mbeni mu nzila, mukuma twazimbula kwena yandi: «Koku kwa Tata wetu kwenina hana batu boosu bana basosa yandi mu mboti, kaasi ngolu zandi yi khabu zandi zenina ku mbeni ya batu boosu bana básisa yandi.» Buna twázila madya amana twábokwadila Tata wetu kikuma kya dyambu dina, amana wáyuka lombila lwetu.

Yáyekula bapfumu ba banganga Nzambi kumi yi bodi—Shelebya, Hashabya—kumosi yi baphangi ba bawu kumi. Yábatesila phalata, wolu, yi bilekwa—mulambu wa nzu ya Tata wetu wuna kyamvu, bayindudi bandi, bapfumu bandi, yi Isaleli yosu bana bakala hana bátambika. Yátesa mu moku ma bawu phalata ya kitesu kya tonele makumodi yi zya, bilekwa bya phalata bya kitesu kya tonele zya, yi wolu wa kitesu kya tonele zya, mindungu mya wolu makumodi mya thalu ya dalike khama kumi, yi bilekwa bodi bya kibengele kya mboti, kyakyengima, kya thalu hanga wolu. Yábazimbwala: «Benu lwenina batoma kwena Tata wetu, amana bilekwa bina bya kutoma, amana phalata yi wolu byenina mulambu wa mbundu ya bukheti kwena Tata wetu, Nzambi wa batata benu. Dikebisenu amana lubasunga tii yi kuna lubatesila ku mesu ma bapfumu ba banganga Nzambi, balefi, yi mutwa mya makanda ma Isaleli ku Yelusalemi, muna bibuku bya nzu ya Tata wetu.»

Banganga Nzambi yi balefi bábonga phalata, wolu, yi bilekwa bina bátesa, mu kunata ku Yelusalemi, ku nzu ya Tata wetu.

Twákatuka kuna nzadi Ahava muna kilumbu kya kumi yi bodi kya ngonda ya theti, mu kukwenda ku Yelusalemi. Koku kwa Tata wetu kwákala hana betu, kututanina ku mbeni yi ku kifwandu mu nzila.

Twátula ku Yelusalemi amana twálembwa hana bilumbu bitatu. Muna kilumbu kya zya, phalata, wolu, yi bilekwa byátesa mu nzu ya Tata wetu amana byáhanwa kwena Melemoti, nganga Nzambi mwana wa Wudiye, kumosi yi Eleyazadi mwana wa Phinasi ku luhati lwandi, yi balefi Yozabadi mwana wa Yeshuwa yi Nowadya mwana wa Binuyi ku luhati lwa bawu. Byosu byátangwa amana byátesa, amana kitesu kyosu kyásonama muna tangwa dina.

Amana bana bavutuka mu kinzenza bátambika bimenga bya kuyoka kwena Tata wetu, Nzambi wa Isaleli: miluma mya bangombi kumi yi bodi kikuma kya Isaleli yosu, mikoku mya bayakala makumi vwa yi sambanu, bana ba mikoku makumi tsambwadi yi tsambwadi, bakhombu ba bayakala kumi yi bodi mu kimenga kya masumu—byosu kyákala kimenga kya kuyoka kwena Tata wetu. Bálambula phi mitsiku mya kyamvu kwena basatalapi ba kyamvu yi kwena bapfumu ba kinzunga kya ku Ngimbu ya Nzadi, amana bawu basadisa batu yi nzu ya Tata wetu. ^a
