Neemiya 1:1-11
1 Awa ndi mafala a Neemiya,*+ mwana wa Akaliya: Pa mwezi wa Kisleu* wa caka 20 ca utongi wa mambo,* ine ndikhali ku Suza,+ kunyumba yakutsidzikizika ya mambo.
2 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, Anani,+ m’bodzi wa abale anga pabodzi na amuna anango, afika buluka ku Yuda. Penepo ine ndaabvundza pya Ayuda adabuluka ku ubitcu,+ pontho ndaabvundza pya Yerusalemu.
3 Iwo andipanga: “Anthu adabuluka ku ubitcu akuti cincino asakhala mu provinsya,* ali pa nyatwa kakamwe, pontho asapwazwa.+ Mipanda ya Yerusalemu yamala kugomolwa,+ pontho misuwo yace yamala kupiswa na moto.”+
4 Pidabva ine mafala anewa, ndakhala pantsi mbanditoma kulira, pontho ndatsukwala mu ntsiku zizinji. Ndacita jejuu+ mbandicita phembero kuna Mulungu wakudzulu.
5 Ine ndalonga: “Yahova Mulungu wakudzulu, Mulungu wankulu na Wakudzumisa, wakuti musacita pinapikira imwe, pontho musapangiza ufuni wakukhonda mala kuna ale anakufunani na kuna ale anabvera* mitemo yanu,+
6 ndaphata miyendo, bveserani phembero ya ntumiki wanu, inacita ine pamaso panu lero. Ine ndisacita phembero masiku na masikati+ thangwi ya Aizraeli, pontho ndiri kubweka madawo adakucitirani mbumba ya Izraeli. Ine pabodzi na mbumba* yanga tadawa.+
7 Mwandimomwene, ife tacita pinthu pyakuipa kuna imwe+ thangwi nee tabvera mitemo yanu, miyambo yanu na matongero adapasa imwe ntumiki wanu Mose.+
8 “Ndaphata miyendo, kumbukani mafala adalonga* imwe kuna ntumiki wanu Mose: ‘Mungacita pinthu mwakukhonda khulupirika, ine ndinadzakubalalisani kuna anthu a madzindza anango.+
9 Mbwenye mungabwerera kuna ine mbamubvera matongero anga, maseze mbumba yanu imwazwe mpaka kunkhomo kwa dziko yapantsi, ine ndinadzaigumanya+ mbandiibweresa pa mbuto idasankhula ine toera dzina yanga ipaswe mbiri.’*+
10 Iwo ndi atumiki anu na mbumba yanu, idaombola imwe na mphambvu zanu zikulu, pontho na djanja yanu yamphambvu.+
11 Yahova, ndaphata miyendo, bveserani phembero ya ntumiki wanu, pontho bveserani maphembero a atumiki anu, akuti asakomerwa kakamwe kulemedza* dzina yanu. Ndaphata miyendo, ndiphedzeni ine ntumiki wanu toera lero ndipembere, pontho citisani mamuna uyu* andibvere ntsisi.”+
Pa ndzidzi unoyu, ine ndikhaphata basa yakupereka vinyu kuna mambo.+
