2 Momudo 20, momwedi waNisan,* ohamba Artasasta oya li ya hala okunwa omaviinyu, ndele ngaashi handi ningi shito, onda kufa omaviinyu noku a yandja kohamba. Ashike kandi na fiku nda kalele nda nyika oluhodi moipafi yayo.
2 Opo nee ohamba oya tya kwaame: “Omolwashike to monika wa nyika oluhodi neenghono ove ito vele? Ondi wete kutya oto lipula nasha.” Okudja opo, onda li nda tila unene.
3 Onda tya kohamba: “Ohamba nai kale nomwenyo mule! Ohandi kala inandi nyika oluhodi ngahelipi, ngeenge oshilando, onhele omo mwa pakwa ootatekulululwa, osha hanaunwa po, nomivelo dasho oda xwikwa po nomundilo?”
4 Ohamba oya tya kwaame: “Owa hala ndi ku ningile shike?” Opo nee onda ilikana kuKalunga komeulu.
5 Onda tya kohamba: “Ngeenge otashi wapalele ohamba, nongeenge omupiya woye owe mu hokwa, tume nge kuJuda, koshilando oko kwa pakwa ootatekulululwa, opo ndi ke shi tungulule.”
6 Ofimbo ohamba i li omutumba nomumbada wayo, oya pula nge ya ti: “Oto ka kala ko efimbo li fike peni, noto ka aluka naini?” Onghee ohamba oya li ya dimina okutuma nge, nonde i lombwela kutya ohandi ka aluka naini.
7 Opo nee onda tya kohamba: “Ngeenge otashi wapalele ohamba, nandi pewe eenhumwafo doongoloneya voshitukulwa shoKombada yOmulonga,* opo ndi ende nda amenwa, fiyo nda fika muJuda,
8 nosho yo onhumwafo yaAsaf, omupashukili wOfuka yOhamba, opo a dule oku pa nge oipilangi yomivelo dOhotengulu yOtembeli,* yomakuma oshilando nosho yo yotembeli, oko handi ka ya.” Onghee ohamba oya pa nge eenhumwafo odo, molwaashi eke liwa laKalunga kange ola li pamwe naame.
9 Opo nee onde uya koongoloneya voshitukulwa shoKombada yOmulonga, nonde va pa eenhumwafo, odo da dja kohamba. Ohamba oya tuma nge yo pamwe neendjai detangakwaita nosho yo ovalondinghambe.
10 Eshi Sanballat, Omuhoroni, naTobia, omupiya Omuammoni, va uda kombinga yaasho, kava li va hafa nandenande, eshi umwe e uya okuningila ouwa oshiwana shOvaisrael.
11 Onda li nda ya kuJerusalem, nonda kala ko oule womafiku atatu.
12 Onda penduka oufiku nonda li nda ya pamwe novalumenhu vanini, ashike kanda li nda lombwela nande omunhu osho Kalunga a tula momutima wange, osho ndi na okuningila Jerusalem, nokapa li oshimuna shimwe vali, kakele kaasho nda li nda londa.
13 Onda dja mo oufiku nda pita mOshivelo shEfilu, ndele handi piti popepi nOfifiya yEyoka la Kula nda finda kOshivelo shOnduba yOmute. Opo nee onda konakona omakuma aJerusalem, oo a li a teka po, nomivelo dasho, odo da li da xwikwa po nomundilo.
14 Onda pita pOshivelo shOfifiya nda finda kEtale lOhamba, ndele kapa li onhele ya wana okupitwa koshinamwenyo, oko nda li nda londa.
15 Onda twikila oufiku nda shikula efilu, nonda kala handi konakona ekuma. Konima yaasho, onda aluka nda pitila pOshivelo shEfilu, ndele handi shuna.
16 Ovapangeli veendodo dopedu kava li ve shi shii kutya onda ya peni, nonda li handi ningi shike, osheshi inandi lombwela sha Ovajuda, ovapristeri, omalenga, ovapangeli veendodo dopedu nosho yo ovanailonga aveshe.
17 Xuuninwa, onda tya kuvo: “Omu wete oupyakadi, oo tu li muo, nghee Jerusalem sha hanaunwa po, nanghee omivelo dasho da xwikwa po nomundilo. Ileni tu ka tungululeni omakuma aJerusalem, opo oshinima eshi shififa ohoni shiha twikile.”
18 Onde va lombwela nghee eke liwa laKalunga kange la kala pamwe naame nosho yo eendjovo, odo nda lombwelwa kohamba. Opo nee ova ti: “Natu fikameni tu tungeni.” Onghee ova pamekafana,* opo va wanife po oilonga iwa.
19 Eshi Sanballat, Omuhoroni, Tobia, omupiya Omuammoni naGesem, Omuarabia, ve shi uda, ova hovela oku tu sheka nokuulika kutya ove tu dina, tava ti: “Otamu ningi shike? Otamu tukululile ohamba oshibofa?”
20 Onde va nyamukula nda ti: “Kalunga komeulu ote ke tu kwafela tu pondole. Nafye tu li ovapiya vaye ohatu fikama tu tunge, ndele nye kamu na oshitukulwa, ile oufemba, ile edimbulukifo muJerusalem.”
