Zekaria 4
1 Mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la, trɔ gbɔ va nyɔm abe ɖe menɔ alɔ̃ dɔm ene.
Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yabuya njalo yazangivusa njengomuntu evuswa ebuthongweni.
2 Ebiam be, “Azɔ la, nu ka kpɔm nèle?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Mele sikakaɖiti si dzi wotsɔ agba da ɖo, eye akaɖi adre le agba sia tame, alɔ adre siwo me do le la to akaɖiti ɖe sia ɖe me ge ɖe agba la me.
Yangibuza yathi, “Ubonani na?” Ngaphendula ngathi, “Ngibona uluthi lwesibane olwenziwe ngokugcweleyo ngegolide, lulomganu phezulu lezibane eziyisikhombisa lezimbobo zezibane eziyisikhombisa.
3 Amiti eve le axawo dzi nɛ; ɖeka le ɖusime, evelia le miame.”
Njalo kulezihlahla zama-oliva ezimbili eduze kwalo, esinye ngakwesokunene komganu, esinye kwesokhohlo.”
4 Mebia mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la be, “Nu kawoe nye esiawo, nye aƒetɔ?”
Ngayibuza ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami, ngathi, “Kuyini lokhu, nkosi yami?”
5 Mawudɔla la trɔ biam be, “Vavã, mènya nu si nu siawo nye oa?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Ao, nye Aƒetɔ.”
Yaphendula yathi, “Kawukwazi ukuthi yizinto bani lezi?” Ngathi, “Hatshi, nkosi yami.”
6 Egblɔ nam be, “Esia nye Yehowa ƒe gbedeasi na Zerubabel: ‘Menye ŋusẽ alo kalẽ o, ke boŋ Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔe.’ Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
Yasisithi kimi, “Nanti ilizwi likaThixo kuZerubhabheli, ‘Hatshi ngempi kumbe ngamandla, kodwa ngoMoya wami,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
7 “Nu ka nènye, O, to si ŋu ŋusẽ le? Àzu anyigba sɔsɔe le Zerubabel ŋkume, ahe tamekpe la ado goe ne ɣli le ɖiɖim be, ‘Mawu neyrae! Mawu neyrae!’”
Uvele uyini, wena ntaba enkulu? KuZerubhabheli uzakuba ngumhlabathi owendlalekileyo. Khonapho usezaletha ilitshe lokuphetha abantu bememeza besithi, ‘Nkulunkulu libusise! Nkulunkulu libusise!’”
8 Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
Kwasekufika ilizwi likaThixo kimi lisithi:
9 “Zerubabel ƒe asie ɖo gbedoxɔ sia ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi, eya ta eƒe asie awu enu. Ekema mianya be Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae dɔm ɖe mia gbɔ.
“Izandla zikaZerubhabheli zisibekile isisekelo saleli ithempeli; izandla zakhe zizaliqedisa ukulakha. Ngakho lizakwazi ukuthi uThixo uSomandla ungithumile kini.
10 “Ame ka ado vlo ŋkeke si nuwo dze egɔme sue? Dzi adzɔ amewo, ne wokpɔ dzidzeka le Zerubabel ƒe asi me. Akaɖi adre siawoe nye Yehowa ƒe ŋku siwo wòtsɔna tsana le anyigba katã dzii.”
Ngubani oludelelayo usuku lwezinto ezincane? Amehlo kaThixo ayisikhombisa agcwala umhlaba wonke jikelele azathokozelela ukubona intambo yokuqondisa esandleni sikaZerubhabheli?”
11 Mebia mawudɔla la be, “Nu kae nye amiti eve siwo le ɖusime kple miame na akaɖiti la?”
Ngasengiyibuza ingilosi, ngathi, “Lezi zihlahla ezimbili zama-oliva kwesokunene lakwesokhohlo phezu koluthi lwesibane ngezani?”
12 Megabia be, “Nu kawoe nye amiti ƒe alɔdze eve siwo le sika ƒe alɔ siwo me sikami dona tsona?”
Ngayibuza futhi ngathi, “Amahlumela la amabili omʼoliva eceleni kwezinti ezimbili zegolide okumpompoza kuzo amafutha aligolide zona ziyini?”
13 Eɖo eŋu be, “Mènya nu si wonye oa?” Megblɔ be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ.”
Yaphendula yathi, “Kawuzazi ukuthi ziyini na?” Ngathi, “Hatshi, nkosi yami.”
14 Ale wògblɔ nam be, “Woawoe nye ame eve siwo wosi ami na be woasubɔ anyigba blibo la ƒe Aƒetɔ.”
Yasisithi, “Laba yibo ababili abagcotshiweyo ukukhonza iNkosi yomhlaba wonke.”
