⁴ Ebyo nga bikaali kubaagho, Eliashibu kabona eyateebwagho okukuliranga ebimante by'omu isinzizo lya Katonda waife, yali ali n'enkolagana ni Tobia.

⁵ Kale yaaghaaku Tobia oyo ekisenge ekinene, mu kusooka kye baatangamu: ebigheebwayo eby'emere ey'empeke, n'obubbaani, n'ebintu ebikozesebwa mu isinzizo, n'ebigheebwayo eby'ekitundu ekirala ekirala ku buli bitundu eikumi omuntu bye yafunanga eky'engaano, n'omwenge ogw'emizabbibu, n'omuzigo ogw'ebibala eby'emiti emyoliva. Ebintu ebyo, kyabanga kya iteeka nga bali n'okubigha: Abalevi, n'abembi, n'abakuumi ab'emiryango, era nga bali n'okusoloza eby'okugha bakabona.

⁶ Ate ebyo byaja okubaagho nga nze tiri mu Yerusalemu, kuba mu mwaka ogwamakumi asatu n'ebiri (32) ogw'obufuzi bwa kyabazinga Arutazerizesi ow'e Babilonia, nali nga njiire Babilonia ye kyabazinga mwene oyo. Aye nga ghabiseeghooku entangama, naamusaba yanganha, naira e Yerusalemu.

⁷ Bwe natuuka e Yerusalemu, naakizuula ekibi ekyo Eliashibu kabona kye yakola, okugha Tobia ekisenge ekiri mu isinzizo lya Katonda waife.

⁸ Naasungughala inho era naatoola mu kisenge ekyo ebintu bya Tobia byonabyona, naabisuula kuliya.

⁹ Agho naalagira batukuze ekisenge ekyo. Bwe baamala okukitukuza naizaamu ebintu ebikozesebwa mu isinzizo, n'ebigheebwayo eby'emere ey'empeke, n'obubbaani.

¹⁰ Era naakizuula nti Abalevi n'abembi baali tibakaafuna migabo gyaibwe, kale nga baalumuka ku mirimo gyaibwe, buli muntu yairirayo mu kibandha kye.

¹¹ Kale neemuluguunhiza abafuzi nti: “Lwaki endhu ya Katonda mugirese bw'agho mutyo?” Agho naamala naaja, naasoloza Abalevi n'abembi, naabaiza ku mirimo gyaibwe.

¹² Olwo Abayudaaya boonaboona baatoolera okuleeta mu materekero ekitundu ekirala ekirala ku buli bitundu eikumi omuntu by'afuna eky'engaano, n'omwenge ogw'emizabbibu, n'omuzigo ogw'ebibala eby'emiti emyoliva.

¹³ Agho naataagho abantu bano babenga abaghanika mu materekero ago: Shelemia kabona, Zadoki omunamateeka, ni Pedaia Omulevi. Era naabagha Hanani mutabane wa Zakkuri era mwidhukulu wa Mattania, okubayambangaku. Abantu abo baali nga bamanhiibwa okuba abeesigwa, era omulimo gwaibwe gwali gwa kughanga Balevi banaibwe emigabo gyaibwe.

¹⁴ Naasaba nti: “Wo Katonda wange, oteerabiranga ebyo ebirungi bye nkoleire eisinzizo lyo, n'emirimo gye bakoleramu okukusinza.

¹⁵ “Mu biseera ebyo, naabonanga mu Buyudaaya abantu abakunha omwenge ogw'emizabbibu ku lunaku lwa Sabbato! Abandi baatwikanga ku ndogoyi dhaibwe, emungo edh'engaano, n'omwenge gw'emizabbibu, n'emizabbibu gyene, n'ebibala eby'emiti emitiini, n'emigugu egya buli nsambo. Abantu abo naababonanga nga baleeta ebintu ebyo mu Yerusalemu ku lunaku lwa Sabbato! Aye nze naabalabulanga obutatunda kintu kyonakyona ku lunaku lwa Sabbato.

¹⁶ Ghaabaagho n'abantu ab'e Tiro abaabanga mu Yerusalemu, baaleetanga ebyenhandha n'eby'amatano ebya buli nsambo, baabiguza Abayudaaya ku lwa Sabbato mu Yerusalemu!

¹⁷ Kale neemuluguunhiza abakungu mu Buyudaaya: ‘Lwaki muli kukola ekibi kino eky'okwonoona olunaku lwa Sabbato?

¹⁸ Badhaadha baimwe batyo ti bwe baakola, memale Katonda n'atuleetaku obuzibu buno bwonabwona, ife ni ku kibuga kino? Aye ate kabiri muli kwenda kuleetera Katonda oyo okusungughalira Isiraeli, nga mwonoona olunaku lwa Sabbato.’”

¹⁹ Kale naalagira okwigalanga emiryango egingira mu Yerusalemu nga buli kuziba, ng'enkyo n'olunaaba olwa Sabbato, era girobe kwigulwanga okutuusa ng'olwa Sabbato lubise. Naata abandi ku bagheereza bange ku miryango egyo bagikuume, obutaikiriza kwingiza kintu kyonakyona mu Yerusalemu ku Sabbato.

²⁰ Olwo ku mikuzi ng'oti ebiri, abasuubuzi ghalala n'abo abaali batunda ebintu ebya buli nsambo, baasula kuliya kwa Yerusalemu.

²¹ Aye naabalabula nti: “Mulekere agho okusulanga okumpi n'ekisenge eky'ekibuga. Bwe munairayo okusulagho ndidha kubagema.” Okuva ku olwo tibairayo kwidhanga ku Sabbato.

²² Kale naalagira Abalevi okwetukuza, bamale baje bakuume emiryango olw'okukuuma Sabbato nga ntukuvu. Agho naasaba nti: “Wo Katonda wange, oteerabiranga n'ekyo kyona kye nkoze. Nkweghemba onsaasirenga, ongonze obutalekera.”

²³ Mu biseera ebyo, era naabona Abayudaaya abaabayiza abakazi abaava mu Ashidodi, ni mu Ammoni, ni mu Moabu.

²⁴ Nga buli mwana omulala ku baana baibwe ababiri, ayogera lulimi Olushidodi oba olulimi olundi, aye nga tibaidhi Luyudaaya.

²⁵ Naavumirira inho abasaadha abo, era naabakolimira. Ate abandi naabakuba, era naabakuunhuula n'enviiri. Naabalayiza mu liina lya Katonda nti: “Mutafumbirwagananga nabo, nga mughaayo baghala baimwe okubayira batabane baibwe, oba okutoola baghala baibwe okubayira batabane baimwe, oba okubayira imwe beene.”

²⁶ Naabakoba nti: “Timwidhi nga Solomoni kyabazinga wa Isiraeli, abakazi ng'oti n'abo n'abaamuleetera okwonoona? Mu maghanga goonagoona tiyabaayooku kyabazinga eyali ng'oti ni ye, era Katonda we yamwenda inho yaamufuula kyabazinga wa Isiraeli yoonayoona. Aye ate abakazi abamaghanga agandi baamuleetera yeena okwonoona.

²⁷ Obwo twenatwena tujiire ku kibi ekitakobeka imwe kye mwakola, tughemukire Katonda waife nga tubayiza abakazi okuva mu maghanga agandi?”

²⁸ Owundi ku batabane ba Yehoiada mutabane wa Eliashibu eyali Omukulu wa Bakabona, yali yabayiza mughala wa Saniballati Omuhoroni. Kale naamubinga mu Yerusalemu.

²⁹ Agho naasaba nti: “Wo Katonda wange, oteerabiranga ngeri ye boonoinemu obwakabona, ni basuula n'ere endagaano ye baakola ey'obwakabona n'Obulevi.”

³⁰ Kale, naatukuza abantu okubatoolaku byonabyona eby'abamaghanga agandi. Naasengeka bukalamu emirimo gya bakabona n'Abalevi. Buli muntu yaamanha omulimo gwe.

³¹ Era naakola entegeka abantu okuleetanga enku mu biseera ebituufu, edh'okwokya ebigheebwayo ku alutaari. Era n'okuleetanga ebigheebwayo byaibwe eby'ebirime ebisooka okukungulwa. Naasaba nti: “Wo Katonda wange, oteerabiranga ebyo bye nkoze. Nkweghemba ompenga ebirungi.”
