1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe, mweri wa mũgwanja, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire mũnabii Hagai, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngolwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, 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 khathesi kuZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lakuJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, lakunsali yabantu, usithi:
3 ‘Nũũ wanyu ũtigarĩte wonire nyũmba ĩno na riiri wayo wa mbere? Mũrona ĩhaana atĩa rĩu? Githĩ mũtiramĩona ĩhaana ta kĩndũ gĩa tũhũ?’
Ngubani oseleyo phakathi kwenu owabona lindlu enkazimulweni yayo yakuqala? Liyibona njani khathesi? Kayinjengento engekho yini emehlweni enu nxa ilinganiswa layo?
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.
Kanti khathesi qina, Zerubhabheli, itsho iNkosi; uqine, Joshuwa, ndodana kaJehozadaki, mpristi omkhulu; liqine, lani lonke bantu belizwe, itsho iNkosi, lisebenze: ngoba ngilani, itsho iNkosi yamabandla,
5 ‘Ũguo nĩguo ndaarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, na Roho wakwa egũtũũra thĩinĩ wanyu. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.’
njengokwelizwi engavumelana ngalo lani ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe, ngokunjalo 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.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusekanye, kuyisikhatshana, ngizazamazamisa amazulu, lomhlaba, lolwandle, lomhlabathi owomileyo;
7 Nĩngathingithia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nake ũrĩa wĩriragĩrio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩagooka, na niĩ nĩngaiyũria nyũmba ĩno riiri,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
ngizamazamise izizwe zonke, lesiloyiso sezizwe zonke sizafika; ngigcwalise lindlu ngenkazimulo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
8 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Betha nĩ yakwa, o na thahabu nĩ yakwa.
Isiliva ngesami, legolide ngelami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
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 yalindlu yokucina izakuba nkulu kuleyokuqala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; lakulindawo ngizanika ukuthula, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
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,
Ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, lafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
11 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũriai athĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa watho ugĩte:
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Buza khathesi abapristi ngomthetho, usithi:
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.”
Uba umuntu ethwala inyama engcwele emphethweni wesembatho sakhe, athinte isinkwa ngomphetho wakhe, kumbe ukudla okuphekiweyo, kumbe iwayini, kumbe amafutha, kumbe loba yikuphi ukudla, kuzakuba ngcwele yini? Abapristi basebephendula 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.”
Wasesithi uHagayi: Uba ongcoliswe yisidumbu ethinta loba yiziphi zalezi, kuzangcola yini? Abapristi basebephendula bathi: Kuzangcola.
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.
Khona uHagayi waphendula wathi: Banjalo lababantu, futhi sinjalo lesisizwe phambi kwami, itsho iNkosi, futhi unjalo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, lalokho 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-ke, ake libeke inhliziyo yenu kukho, kusukela kulolusuku kusiya phambili, kungakabekwa ilitshe phezu kwelitshe ethempelini leNkosi;
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.
kusukela lapho umuntu efika enqwabeni yezilinganiso ezingamatshumi amabili, kwakuletshumi kuphela; esiya esikhamelweni sewayini ukukha imbiza ezingamatshumi amahlanu esikhamelweni, kwakulamatshumi 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.
Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane langesiqhotho, wonke umsebenzi wezandla zenu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
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:
Ake libeke inhliziyo yenu kukho kusukela kulolusuku kusiya phambili, kusukela osukwini lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngitsho kusukela osukwini isisekelo sethempeli leNkosi sibekwa, libeke inhliziyo yenu kukho.
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.’”
Inhlanyelo isesesiphaleni yini? Yebo, ivini, lomkhiwa, lepomegranati, lesihlahla somhlwathi kakukatheli. Kusukela kulolusuku ngizalibusisa.
20 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Hagai hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya wa mweri ũcio, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika ngokwesibili kuHagayi ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga, lisithi:
21 “Arĩria Zerubabeli mwathi wa Juda, ũmwĩre atĩ nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ.
Khuluma kuZerubhabheli, umbusi wakoJuda, usithi: Ngizazamazamisa 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.
Ngigenqule isihlalo sobukhosi semibuso, ngichithe amandla emibuso yezizwe, ngigenqule inqola labagadi bayo; lamabhiza labagadi bawo bazakwehla, ngulowo 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, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngizakuthatha, wena Zerubhabheli, ndodana kaSheyalithiyeli, nceku yami, itsho iNkosi, ngikwenze ube njengendandatho elophawu; ngoba ngikukhethile, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
