Ikitabu ni Mwaana o Khondoro
1 Yamalhekeru nkakoona thoko ikitabu yo uvilhikiya moono wo wiimonono wo uyo nokhalha vachulhu ihiche yo imwene uyo, inalhepiye nhina ni vathe inamariye mihuri saba cho nimulha. 2 Tho nkakoona nnepa wo wiirimu urii ni machiri uhimiachaka wo nlhove nulhupalhe wiiraka, “Mpani nophwanelhiya umarulha nhuri wo nimulha uyo ni upatakulha ikitabu ilha?” 3 Nansho khaariwo riyoothe wiirimu, mena velhaponi, mena unaminepa, oorilhe upatakulha yeyo ikitabu iyo ama uthurumelha nhina. 4 Paahi mii nkakonlha chinene ukhalhawaya khoonelhe ntu aaphwanelhiye upatakulha ama uweha nhina. 5 Vavawo mmoka a ashulhupalhe alhe, nkaakiirelha, “Nhunlhe! Mmweheke! Kharamu o nikosho na Yuda, Uchuulhu wa Adaudi, hokottolha. Yoyo nowooria umarulha mihuri saba cho nimulha chiyo ni uthapurusha yeyo ikitabu iyo.”
6 Yamalheke nkakaamwoona Mwaana o Khondoro neemenlhe variyari ihiche yo imwene valhe narukureriye ipaande chonkhaye ni owupiya akumi acheshe ni ashulhupalhe makhumi melhi khuwa ncheshe alhe. Mwaana o Khondoro uyo aari akhalhaka thoko wiira o hithiya, o inyaka saba ni miitho saba chikhalhaka phi Iphumu saba cha Nlhuku chirumiye kila vakittu velhaponi. 7 Mwaana o Khondoro nkaarwa, nkaakusha ikitabu yo uvilhikiya iyo wiimonono wa ulhe khanlhe vachulhu ihiche yo imwene uyo. 8 Akusheke ikitabu yo uvilhikiya iyo, owupiya akumi ncheshe vamoka ni ashulhupalhe makhumi melhi khuwa ncheshe alhe yahowulhuwa makukhu mmiholho wo Mwaana o Khondoro. Kila mmoka aari nammarenlhe chikwesha awe ni inyipo cho idhahabu chichanre ubani, chaari phi ulhapelha wa attu a Nlhuku. 9 Paahi, nkayeepa nchipo no naanano, yiiraka,
“Inyuva nhophwanelhiya ukusha yeyo ikitabu iyo,
Ni umarulha nhuri waya.
Ukhalhawaya inyuva nhohithiya.
Ni wo iphome inyu nhomoopolhelha Nlhuku
Attu o ukhuma kila nikosho ni nulhumo ni o kila nihimo ni o kila ilhapo.
10 Nhaapanga ukhalha opochera ishaani mu imweneni avare ntheko wo unkavihera Nlhuku ihu,
Ni ayo anootawara ilhapo.”
11 Vaaweha aka, nkakeewa nlhove no minepa o wiirimu chinchi chinene chihinooria waalhakelhiya maelufu wo maelufu, onkomme urukureria ihiche yo imwene ni waarukureria owupiya akumi acheshe ni ashulhupalhe alhe, 12 nkayaakhuwelha yiiraka,
“Mwaana o Khondoro hithiye
Hophwanelhiya upochera wooria ni nhakhu ni irusho ni machiri
Ni uthimichiya ni utotopelhiya.”
13 Tho nkakeewa cho wuupiya cho ukumi chonkhaye chiri wiirimu ni velhaponi ni unaminepa ni mbaharini, chuupiye chonkhaye velhaponi kaheewa chiiraka,
“Uwannyawe yoyo nokhalhelha ihiche yo imwene ni wa Mwaana o Khondoro,
Ukhalhe nthimicho ni ipilhi ni utotopelhiya ni ikuru
Mahuku o uhimalha ni uhimalha.”
14 Ni owupiya akumi acheshe alhe nkayaakhulha, “Aye!” Ni ashulhupalhe alhe nkayaawulhuwa makukhu, athimichaka.
