Ngenyanga yesificaminwembili, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi kuZekhariya, indodana kaBerekiya, indodana kaIdo umprofethi, lisithi:
2 “Jehova Nyasaye nosin ahinya gi kwereu.
INkosi yabathukuthelela oyihlo ngentukuthelo.
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 wothi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Phendukelani kimi, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lami ngizaphendukela kini, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
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 njengaboyihlo, abaprofethi bakuqala abamemeza kubo, besithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ake liphenduke ezindleleni zenu ezimbi lezenzweni zenu ezimbi; kodwa kabezwanga, kabangilalelanga, itsho iNkosi.
5 Bende kwereugo gi jonabi pod ngima nyaka sani?
Oyihlo, bangaphi? Labaprofethi, baphila laphakade yini?
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 lezimiso zami, engakulaya izinceku zami abaprofethi, kakubaficanga oyihlo yini? Basebephenduka bathi: Njengalokhu iNkosi yamabandla yayinakana ukukukwenza kithi, njengokwezindlela zethu lanjengokwezenzo zethu, ngokunjalo yenze kithi.
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.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yetshumi lanye, okuyinyanga uShebati, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, lafika ilizwi leNkosi kuZekhariya, indodana kaBerekiya, indodana kaIdo umprofethi, lisithi:
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.
Ngabona ebusuku, khangela-ke umuntu owayegade ibhiza elibomvu, njalo wayemi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli eziseliweni, lemva kwakhe kwakulamabhiza abomvu, alibhidi, lamhlophe.
9 Napenjo niya, “Magi gin angʼo, yaye ruodha?” Malaika mane wuoyo koda nodwoka niya, “Abiro nyisi gima gin.”
Ngasengisithi: Bayini laba, nkosi yami? Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yasisithi kimi: Mina ngizakutshengisa ukuthi laba bayini.
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.”
Umuntu owayemi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli wasephendula wathi: Laba yibo iNkosi ebathumileyo ukuhamba besiya le lale emhlabeni.
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.”
Basebephendula ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli, bathi: Sihambile, saya le lale emhlabeni, khangela-ke, wonke umhlaba uhlezi uthule.
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 yeNkosi yasiphendula yathi: Nkosi yamabandla, koze kube nini wena ungabi lesihawu phezu kweJerusalema laphezu kwemizi yakoJuda, osuyithukuthelele okweminyaka le engamatshumi ayisikhombisa?
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi malaika mane loso koda gi weche mangʼwon kod weche mag hoch.
INkosi yasiphendula ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami ngamazwi amahle, amazwi aduduzayo.
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,
Ngakho ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yathi kimi: Memeza, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngilobukhwele ngeJerusalema langeZiyoni ngobukhwele obukhulu.
15 to bende akecho ahinya gi ogendini modak kodhialore. Mokwongo ne akecho mana matin, to koro gisemiyo chandruok omedo doko malit moloyo.’
Njalo ngiyathukuthela ngentukuthelo enkulu ngezizwe ezonwabileyo; ngoba mina ngizondile kancinyane, kodwa zona zancedisa ngasebubini.
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.
Ngalokho, itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngibuyele eJerusalema ngilezihawu; indlu yami izakwakhiwa kuyo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lentambo yokulinganisa izakwelulwa phezu kweJerusalema.
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!’”
Phinda umemeze, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Imizi yami isezasatshalaliswa ngokuhle; njalo iNkosi isezaduduza iZiyoni, isezayikhetha iJerusalema.
18 Eka natingʼo wangʼa, mi napo kaneno tunge angʼwen!
Ngasengiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona, khangela-ke, impondo ezine.
19 Napenjo malaika mane wuoyo koda niya, “Magi gin angʼo?” Nodwoka niya, “Magi e tunge mane okeyo Juda, Israel kod Jerusalem.”
Ngasengisithi kuyo ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami: Kuyini lokhu? Yasisithi kimi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, uIsrayeli, leJerusalema.
20 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nonyisa jotheth angʼwen.
INkosi yasingitshengisa ingcitshi ezine.
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.”
Ngasengisithi: Lezi zizekwenzani? Yasikhuluma isithi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, kwaze kwangabi lomuntu ophakamisa ikhanda lakhe; kodwa lezi zize ukuzethusa, ukulahla izimpondo zabezizwe, ezaphakamisa uphondo lumelene lelizwe lakoJuda ukulihlakaza.
