1 Ukwezi kwa karindwikwageze Abisiraheli bose baramaze gutura mu mijyi gakondo yabo, maze baza guteranira i Yeruzalemu bahuje umugambi.

2 Nuko bakurikije ibyanditse mu Mategeko ya Musawa muntu w’Imana, umutambyi Yeshuwa mwene Yosadaki afatanyije n’abandi batambyi bagenzi be, na Zerubabeli mwene Salatiyeli hamwe na bagenzi be, bubakira Imana ya Isiraheli urutambiro rwo gutambiraho ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro.

Bashyiraho urufatiro rw’Ingoro y’Imana

7 Abisiraheli bahemba ifeza abafundi babāzaga amabuye, kimwe n’ababāzaga za mwikorezi. Byongeye kandi baha Abanyasidoni n’Abanyatiri ibyokurya n’ibyokunywa n’amavuta y’iminzenze, kugira ngo na bo babazanire ibiti by’amasederi byo muri Libani, bakabicisha mu nyanja bakabigeza i Yope. Ibyo babikoze bashingiye ku burenganzira bahawe na Sirusi umwami w’u Buperesi.

8 Nuko mu kwezi kwa kabirik’umwaka wakurikiye uwo bagarukiye i Yeruzalemu ahari Ingoro y’Imana, batangira kuyubaka. Zerubabeli mwene Salatiyeli na Yeshuwa mwene Yosadaki, n’abandi batambyi bagenzi be, hamwe n’Abalevi n’abantu bose bari baje i Yeruzalemu bavuye aho bari barajyanywe ho iminyago, bafatanya imirimo. Abalevi bamaze imyaka makumyabiri n’abayirengeje, babashinga kuyobora imirimo y’ubwubatsi bw’Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

9 Abalevi ari bo Yoshuwa n’abahungu be n’abavandimwe be, na Kadimiyeli n’abahungu bebakomokaga kuri Yuda, bari bafatanyije kuyobora abakoraga ku bwubatsi bw’Ingoro y’Imana. Bafashwaga n’Abalevi bakomokaga kuri Henadadi.

10 Ubwo abubatsi bashyiragaho urufatiro rw’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, haje abatambyi bafite impanda bahagarara bambaye imyambaro y’ubutambyi, Abalevi bakomoka kuri Asafu na bo bari bafite ibyuma birangīra, kugira ngo basingize Uhoraho nk’uko Dawidi umwami w’Abisiraheli yategetse.

“Uhoraho agira neza,

imbabazi agirira Abisiraheli zihoraho iteka ryose.”

Nuko abantu bose basingiza Uhoraho baranguruye amajwi kubera ko urufatiro rw’Ingoro ye rushyizweho.

12 Ariko abatambyi n’Abalevi n’abatware b’amazu bageze mu zabukuru bari bazi Ingoro ya mberey’Imana, babonye hashyizweho urufatiro rw’Ingoro nshya bararira cyane. Naho abandi bantu benshi ibyishimo birabasāba na bo barangurura amajwi yabo,

13 ku buryo nta muntu wabashaga gutandukanya urusaku rw’abari bishimye n’imiborogo y’abariraga. Abantu barangururaga amajwi urusaku rukumvikanira kure.
