1 E dwe mar aboro, e higa mar ariyo mar loch Darius, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni janabi Zekaria wuod Berekia, ma wuod Ido, kawacho niya,
Ngenyanga yesificaminwemibili yomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kumphrofethi uZakhariya indodana kaBherekhiya, indodana ka-Ido lisithi:
2 “Jehova Nyasaye nosin ahinya gi kwereu.
“UThixo wazondiswa kakhulu ngokhokho benu.
3 Kuom mano wachnegi ni: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: ‘Dwoguru ira,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho. ‘Eka an bende anaduog iru,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho kamano.
Ngakho tshela abantu uthi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: ‘Buyelani kimi,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla, ‘lami ngizabuya kini,’ utsho njalo uThixo uSomandla.
4 Kik uchal gi kwereu, mane jonabi machon oywak nigi kawacho ni: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho, ‘Lokreuru uwe yoreu maricho kod timbeu maricho.’ To negitamore winja kata dewa, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Lingabi njengabokhokho benu, okwatsho kubo abaphrofethi bamandulo, bathi: Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Phendukani ezindleleni zenu zobubi lezenzo zenu ezimbi.’ Kodwa kabafunanga ukulalela loba ukukunanza okwakutshiwo, kutsho uThixo.
5 Bende kwereugo gi jonabi pod ngima nyaka sani?
Bangaphi manje okhokho benu na? Bona abaphrofethi kambe baphila okungapheliyo na?
6 To donge wechena gi yorena mane achiko jotichna ma jonabi nojuko kwereu? “Omiyo negilokore kendo giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osetimonwa gima owinjore gi yorewa kod timbewa, mana kaka nochano timo.’”
Kodwa amazwi ami lemithetho yami engangilaye ngakho izinceku zami abaphrofethi kakuzange kuze kubafice yini okhokho benu? Kwayikhona bephenduka besithi, ‘UThixo uSomandla wenzile kithi okufanele izindlela zethu lezenzo njengalokho amisa ukukwenza.’”
7 Tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dwe mar apar gachiel, miluongo ni Shebat, e higa mar ariyo mar loch Darius, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni janabi Zekaria wuod Berekia, ma wuod Ido.
Ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lane ngenyanga yetshumi lanye, inyanga uShebhathi, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kumphrofethi uZakhariya indodana kaBherekhiya, indodana ka-Ido.
8 Naneno fweny gotieno ka ngʼat moro moidho faras ma silwal opore e nyima. Ne ochungʼ e dier yiend kuth ochwoga, e holo moro. Yo ka diengʼeye ne nitie farese masilwende, marobuore kod marochere.
Ebusuku ngafikelwa ngumbono, khonapho phambi kwami kwakulendoda egade ibhiza elibomvu! Yayimi phakathi kwezihlahla zomethile edongeni. Ngemva kwayo kwakulamanye amabhiza, elibomvu, eliyinsundu lelimhlophe.
9 Napenjo niya, “Magi gin angʼo, yaye ruodha?” Malaika mane wuoyo koda nodwoka niya, “Abiro nyisi gima gin.”
Ngayibuza ngathi, “Kuyini lokhu, nkosi yami na?” Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yaphendula yathi, “Ngizakutshengisa ukuthi kuyini.”
10 Eka ngʼat mane ochungʼ e dier yiend kuth ochwoga nonyisa niya, “Gin e joma Jehova Nyasaye oseoro mondo odhi e piny koni gi koni.”
Kwasekusithi leyondoda eyayimi ezihlahleni zomethile yachaza yathi, “Laba yibo uThixo abathumileyo ukuba bahambe emhlabeni wonke.”
11 To negidwoko wach ne malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane ochungʼ e dier yiend kuth ochwoga, kagiwacho niya, “Wasewuotho e piny koni gi koni mi wayudo ka piny ngima yweyo kendo nigi kwe.”
Basebebika engilosini kaThixo eyayimi phakathi kwezihlahla zomethile bathi, “Sesiwuhambile wonke umhlaba safumana ukuthi ilizwe lihlezi kuhle phakathi kokuthula.”
12 Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, nyaka karangʼo mibiro lingʼ mak ikecho Jerusalem gi mier mag Juda misebedo kikechogo kuom higni piero abiriyogi?”
Ingilosi kaThixo yasisithi, “Thixo Somandla, koze kube nini ulokhu ugodla isihawu sakho phezu kweJerusalema lamadolobho akoJuda olokhu uwathukuthelele yonke iminyaka le engamatshumi ayisikhombisa?”
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi malaika mane loso koda gi weche mangʼwon kod weche mag hoch.
Ngakho uThixo wasekhuluma amazwi omusa, aduduzayo kuleyongilosi eyayikhuluma lami.
14 Eka malaika mane wuoyo koda nowachona niya, “Ywagri kiwacho ne ji kama: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho, ‘Nyiego omaka matek nikech Jerusalem gi Sayun,
Kwasekusithi ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yathi, “Memezela leli ilizwi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Ngilobukhwele ngeJerusalema leZiyoni,
15 to bende akecho ahinya gi ogendini modak kodhialore. Mokwongo ne akecho mana matin, to koro gisemiyo chandruok omedo doko malit moloyo.’
kodwa ngizondile ngalezozizwe ezihlezi zanaba zaziba. Ngangithukuthele kancane kodwa zawengezelela lowo monakalo.’
16 “Kuom mano, Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Abiro duogo Jerusalem mi akeche, mi oda nochak oger kanyo; kendo tol mipimogo ibiro rie e alwora mar Jerusalem,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Ngizabuya eJerusalema ngilomusa, khonapho indlu yami izakwakhiwa kutsha. Intambo yesilinganiso izakwelulwa eJerusalema,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
17 “Med lendo kiwacho kama: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: ‘Miecha duto biro pongʼ gi mwandu, kendo Jehova Nyasaye biro hoyo Sayun kendo obiro chako oyiero Jerusalem!’”
Memezela njalo uthi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Amadolobho ami azaphinda njalo aphuphume ngenotho, njalo uThixo uzaphinda ayiduduze iZiyoni, ayikhethe iJerusalema.’”
18 Eka natingʼo wangʼa, mi napo kaneno tunge angʼwen!
Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, phambi kwami kwakulempondo ezine!
19 Napenjo malaika mane wuoyo koda niya, “Magi gin angʼo?” Nodwoka niya, “Magi e tunge mane okeyo Juda, Israel kod Jerusalem.”
Ngabuza ingilosi leyo eyayikhuluma lami, ngathi, “Kuyini lokhu?” Yaphendula yathi, “Lezi yizo impondo ezachitha uJuda, lo-Israyeli leJerusalema.”
20 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nonyisa jotheth angʼwen.
UThixo wasengitshengisa abakhandi abane.
21 Napenjo niya, “Jogi obiro timo angʼo ka?” Nodwoko niya, “Magi e tunge mane okeyo jo-Juda mondo kik ngʼato angʼata kuomgi tingʼ wiye; to jothethgi osebiro mondo obwog-gi kendo gilo ogendini mane oikore kedo gi piny Juda.”
Ngabuza ngathi, “Laba bazekwenzani na?” Waphendula wathi, “Lezi yimpondo ezachitha uJuda ukuze angabikhona ovusa ikhanda, kodwa abakhandi balande ukuxegisa amadolo abo, bazilahlele phansi impondo lezi ezezizwe ezaphakamisa impondo zazo phezu kwelizwe lakoJuda ukuchitha abantu balo.”
