Ezra 3
Imigomo Yesevisi
1Kwathi ekufikeni kwenyanga yesikhombisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli besemizini, abantu babuthana njengomuntu munye eJerusalema.
2Khona-ke uJeshuwa, indodana kaJosadaki, nabafowabo, abapristi, noZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, nabafowabo, bakha i-altare likaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuze banikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yokushiswa njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni uMose umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
3Balibeka i-altare ezisekelweni zalo; ngoba ukwesaba kwakuphezu kwabo ngenxa yabantu balawomazwe; banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova phezu kwalo, iminikelo yokushiswa ekuseni nakusihlwa.
4Bagcina nomkhosi wamadokodo njengokulotshiweyo, banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa imihla ngemihla njengenani, njengomthetho, njengemfanelo yosuku ngalunye;
5Emva kwalokho wanikela ngomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, owethwasa kwenyanga nowemikhosi yonke kaJehova eyayingcwelisiwe, nowawo wonke umuntu owanikela ngesihle kuJehova.
6Kusukela ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesikhombisa baqala ukunikela iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova. Kodwa isisekelo sethempeli likaJehova sasingakabekwa.
7Banika abakhi nababazi imali; nokudla nokuphuza namafutha kwabaseSidoni nabaseTire ukuba balethe imisedari eLebanoni, bayiyise olwandle lwaseJopha, njengesipho esivela kuKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya.
8Ngomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endlini kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, ngenyanga yesibili, uZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, noJeshuwa, indodana kaJosadaki, nensali yabafowabo, abapristi namaLevi, futhi zonke ziqala. Abaphuma ekuthunjweni baya eJerusalema; wamisa amaLevi, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu, ukuba amele umsebenzi wendlu kaJehova.
9Khona-ke uJesuma kanye namadodana akhe nabafowabo, uKadimiyeli namadodana akhe, amadodana kaJuda, ukuze baqondise izisebenzi endlini kaNkulunkulu: amadodana kaHenadadi, namadodana awo nabafowabo, amaLevi.
10Lapho abakhi bebeka isisekelo sethempeli likaJehova, bamisa abapristi bembethe izingubo zabo, benamacilongo, namaLevi, amadodana ka-Asafa, ephethe amasimbali ukuba adumise uJehova njengesiyalo sikaDavide inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.
11Bahlabelela kanyekanye ukudumisa nokudumisa uJehova; ngokuba muhle, ngokuba umusa wakhe ku-Israyeli umi phakade. Bonke abantu bakhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu lapho bedumisa uJehova, ngoba isisekelo sendlu kaJehova sase sibekiwe.
12Kodwa abaningi babapristi namaLevi nezinhloko zezindlu zoyise, amaxhegu abona indlu yokuqala lapho kubekwa isisekelo sale ndlu phambi kwamehlo abo, bakhala ngezwi elikhulu; abaningi bamemeza ngentokozo.
13Ukuze abantu bahluleke ukwehlukanisa umsindo wenjabulo nokukhala kwabantu;
