Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga yesikhombisa ilizwi likaThixo lafika ngoHagayi umphrofethi lisithi:
2 “Arĩria Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli, mwathi wa bũrũri wa Juda, na Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na andũ othe arĩa matigaire, ũmoorie atĩrĩ,
“Khuluma loZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, loJoshuwa indodana kaJozadaki, umphristi omkhulu kanye lensalela yabantu. Babuze uthi,
3 ‘Nũũ wanyu ũtigarĩte wonire nyũmba ĩno na riiri wayo wa mbere? Mũrona ĩhaana atĩa rĩu? Githĩ mũtiramĩona ĩhaana ta kĩndũ gĩa tũhũ?’
‘Ngubani kini owasalayo owabona indlu le enkazimulweni yayo yakuqala na? Khathesi ikhangeleka injani kini na? Kayikhangeleki njengeze na?
4 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩa na hinya, wee Zerubabeli, na ũgĩe na hinya, wee Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, gĩai na hinya inyuĩ andũ othe a bũrũri, na mũrute wĩra, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.’ Ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
Kodwa khathesi qina wena Zerubhabheli,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Qina wena Joshuwa ndodana kaJozadaki, umphristi omkhulu. Qinani, lonke lina bantu belizwe,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Lisebenze, ngoba ngilani,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
5 ‘Ũguo nĩguo ndaarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, na Roho wakwa egũtũũra thĩinĩ wanyu. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.’
‘Lokhu yikho engakuvumelana lani ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe. UMoya wami uhlala phakathi kwenu. Lingesabi.’
6 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ; ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ rĩngĩ, na thingithie iria na thĩ nyũmũ.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: ‘Ngesikhatshana nje ngizaphinda nginyikinye amazulu lomhlaba, ulwandle lelizwe elomileyo.
7 Nĩngathingithia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nake ũrĩa wĩriragĩrio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩagooka, na niĩ nĩngaiyũria nyũmba ĩno riiri,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
Ngizanyikinya izizwe zonke, abathandwayo kuzozonke izizwe bazakuza, njalo indlu le ngizayigcwalisa ngenkazimulo,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla,
8 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Betha nĩ yakwa, o na thahabu nĩ yakwa.
‘Isiliva ngesami legolide ngelami,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
9 Riiri wa nyũmba ĩno ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũnene gũkĩra riiri wa nyũmba ĩrĩa ya mbere,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga. ‘Na handũ haha nĩngaheana thayũ,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
‘Inkazimulo yale indlu yakhathesi izakuba nkulu kuleyendlu yakuqala,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla. ‘Njalo indawo le ngizayipha ukuthula,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
10 Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna, mweri wa kenda, mwaka wa keerĩ wa gũthamaka kwa Dario, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire mũnabii Hagai akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuHagayi umphrofethi lisithi:
11 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũriai athĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa watho ugĩte:
“Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla uthi: ‘Buza abaphristi ukuthi umthetho uthini:
12 Mũndũ angĩkuua nyama nyamũre ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yake, naruo ruuno rũhutie mũgate, kana thubu, kana ndibei, kana maguta, o na kana irio ingĩ-rĩ, irio icio ciatuĩka nyamũre?’” Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
Nxa umuntu ethwele inyama engcwele ngomphetho wesigqoko sakhe, umphetho lowo uthinte isinkwa loba inyama ephekiweyo, iwayini, amafutha loba okunye ukudla, kuba ngcwele na?’” Abaphristi baphendula bathi, “Hatshi.”
13 Ningĩ Hagai akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutania na kĩimba, angĩhutia kĩndũ kĩmwe gĩa icio-rĩ, kĩndũ kĩu no kĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu?” Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, no kĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu.”
UHagayi wasesithi, “Nxa umuntu ongcoliswe yikuthinta isidumbu ethinta okunye kwalezizinto, kuyangcola na?” “Ye,” kwaphendula abaphristi, “kuyangcola.”
14 Ningĩ Hagai akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo noguo andũ aya na rũrĩrĩ rũrũ matariĩ maitho-inĩ makwa; ũrĩa wothe meekaga na kĩrĩa gĩothe marutaga kũu, kĩrĩ na thaahu.
UHagayi wasesithi, “‘Kunjalo-ke emehlweni ami ngabantu laba langesizwe lesi,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Lokho abakwenzayo loba abakunikelayo lapho kungcolile.
15 “‘Na rĩrĩ, mwĩcũraniei wega ũhoro ũyũ kuuma ũmũthĩ, mũtaranie ũrĩa maũndũ maatariĩ mbere ya rĩrĩa gũtaarĩ ihiga rĩaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ wa rĩngĩ mwako-inĩ wa hekarũ ĩno ya Jehova.
Khathesi cabangani kuhle ngalokhu kusukela ngalolusuku kusiya phambili, khumbulani ukuthi izinto zazinjani kungakabekwa elinye ilitshe phezu kwelinye ethempelini likaThixo.
16 Mũndũ o wothe angĩathiire hĩba-inĩ ya ngano ya ithimi mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, aakoraga no ithimi ikũmi. Mũndũ o wothe angĩathiire itangi-inĩ rĩa ndibei erĩgĩrĩire gũtahia ithimi mĩrongo ĩtano, aakoraga o mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
Kwakusithi lapho umuntu efika enqunjini yezilinganiso ezingamatshumi amabili, kwakulezilitshumi kuphela. Kuthi lapho umuntu eye efatshini lewayini ukuba akhe izilinganiso ezingamatshumi amahlanu, kwakulezingamatshumi amabili kuphela.
17 Ndathũkirie wĩra wothe wa moko manyu na mbaa, na mbuu na mbura ya mbembe, no inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Wonke umsebenzi wezandla zenu ngawutshaya ngomkhuhlane, ngesikhwekhwe langesiqhotho, kodwa kaliphendukelanga kimi,’ kutsho uThixo.
18 Kuuma ũmũthĩ na gũthiĩ na mbere, kuuma mũthenya ũyũ wa mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya, mweri wa kenda, mwĩcũraniei wega ũhoro wa mũthenya ũrĩa mũthingi wa hekarũ ya Jehova wakirwo. Ta mwĩcũraniei wega:
‘Kusukela lamhla kusiya phambili, kusukela ngalolusuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, cabangani kuhle ngosuku okwabekwa ngalo isisekelo sethempeli likaThixo. Cabangani kuhle:
19 Nĩ hakĩrĩ o na mbeũ ĩtigarĩte ikũmbĩ-inĩ? Nginyagia rĩu, mĩthabibũ, na mĩkũyũ, na mĩkomamanga, o na mĩtamaiyũ ndĩrĩ ĩragĩa na maciaro. “‘Kuuma ũmũthĩ nĩndĩrĩmũrathimaga.’”
Kuselenhlanyelo eseleyo esiphaleni na? Kuze kube khathesi, ivini lomkhiwa, iphomegranathi lesihlahla se-Oliva asikatheli izithelo. Kusukela ngalolusuku kusiya phambili ngizalibusisa.’”
20 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Hagai hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya wa mweri ũcio, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika ngokwesibili kuHagayi ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga lisithi:
21 “Arĩria Zerubabeli mwathi wa Juda, ũmwĩre atĩ nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ.
“Tshela uZerubhabheli umbusi wakoJuda ukuthi ngizanyikinya amazulu lomhlaba.
22 Nĩngangʼaũrania itĩ cia ũnene, na hehenje hinya wa mothamaki ma thĩ ngʼeni. Nĩngakurumania ngaari cia ita, na atwarithia a cio; na ndungumanie mbarathi hamwe na ahaici a cio, o mũndũ arũndwo na rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũrũ wa nyina.
Ngizagenqula izihlalo zobukhosi ngichithe amandla emibuso yezizweni. Ngizagenqula izinqola zempi labagadi bazo; amabhiza labagadi bawo bazakuwa, ngamunye ngenkemba yomfowabo.
23 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngakwamũkĩra, wee ndungata yakwa Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Ningĩ nĩngagũtua ta gĩcũhĩ gĩakwa gĩa kĩara, gĩkurure rũũri rwakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũthuurĩte,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
‘Ngalolosuku,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla, ‘ngizakuthatha wena nceku yami Zerubhabheli ndodana kaSheyalithiyeli,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘njalo ngizakwenza ube njengesongo eliluphawu lwami, ngoba sengikukhethile,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
