< Hagai 2 >

1 I KA la iwakaluakumamakahi o ka malama ahiku, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,
Ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngolwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
2 E olelo aku oe ia Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, ke kiaaina o Iuda, a ia Iosua ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui, a i ke koena o kanaka, i ka i ana aku,
Khuluma khathesi kuZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lakuJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, lakunsali yabantu, usithi:
3 Owai o oukou e koe, nana i ike i kela luakini me kona nani mua? pehea oukou i ike ai i keia, ano, aole anei ia ma ko oukou maka me he mea ole la?
Ngubani oseleyo phakathi kwenu owabona lindlu enkazimulweni yayo yakuqala? Liyibona njani khathesi? Kayinjengento engekho yini emehlweni enu nxa ilinganiswa layo?
4 Aka, i nui hoi ka ikaika ou, e Zerubabela, wahi a Iehova; i nui hoi ka ikaika ou, e Iosua, e ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui; i nui hoi ka ikaika o oukou, e na kanaka a pau o ka aina nei, a e hana hoi, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, me oukou pu hoi au, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
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 E like me ka berita a'u i hoopaa aku ai me oukou, ia oukou i puka ai mai Aigupita mai, pela hoi e noho ai kuu Uhane iwaena o oukou; mai makau oukou.
njengokwelizwi engavumelana ngalo lani ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe, ngokunjalo umoya wami uhlala phakathi kwenu; lingesabi.
6 No ka mea, penei ka i ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua; I kekahi manawa aku, he liuliu iki ia, a e hoonaue au i ka lani a me ka honua, i ke kai a me ka aina maloo;
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusekanye, kuyisikhatshana, ngizazamazamisa amazulu, lomhlaba, lolwandle, lomhlabathi owomileyo;
7 A e hoonaue hoi au i na lahuikanaka a pau, a e hele mai auanei ka mea i makemakeia e na lahuikanaka a pau, a e hoopiha auanei au i keia hale i ka nani, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
ngizamazamise izizwe zonke, lesiloyiso sezizwe zonke sizafika; ngigcwalise lindlu ngenkazimulo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
8 No'u no ke kala, no'u hoi ke gula, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Isiliva ngesami, legolide ngelami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
9 E oi auanei ka nani o keia hale hope imua o ko ka mua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; a ma keia wahi hoi e haawi aku no wau i ka maluhia, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Inkazimulo yalindlu yokucina izakuba nkulu kuleyokuqala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; lakulindawo ngizanika ukuthula, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
10 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka iwa o ka malama, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Dariu, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,
Ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, lafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
11 Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, E ninau aku oe i na kahuna no ke kanawai, penei,
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Buza khathesi abapristi ngomthetho, usithi:
12 Ina e lawelawe kekahi i ka io laa ma ke kihi o kona aahu, a hoopa aku kona kihi i ka berena, i ka io hoolapalapa paha, a i ka waina, a i ka aila paha, a i kekahi mea ai e ae, e laa no anei ia? Hoole mai la na kahuna, i mai la, Aole.
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 Alaila i aku la o Hagai, Ina i haumia kekahi i ke kupapau, a hoopa aku ia i kekahi o keia mau mea, e haumia anei ia mea? Pane mai la na kahuna, i mai la, E haumia no.
Wasesithi uHagayi: Uba ongcoliswe yisidumbu ethinta loba yiziphi zalezi, kuzangcola yini? Abapristi basebephendula bathi: Kuzangcola.
14 Olelo aku la o Hagai, i aku la, Pela no keia poe kanaka, a pela keia lahuikanaka imua o'u, wahi a Iehova: a pela hoi ka hana a pau a ko lakou lima; a o ka mea a lakou e mohai mai ai ilaila, he haumia ia.
Khona uHagayi waphendula wathi: Banjalo lababantu, futhi sinjalo lesisizwe phambi kwami, itsho iNkosi, futhi unjalo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, lalokho abakunikelayo lapho kungcolile.
15 Nolaila hoi, e noonoo pono oukou mai keia la e noho nei a hiki i ka wa mamua, i ka wa i kau ole ia'i ka pohaku maluna o kekahi pohaku ma ka luakini o Iehova.
Khathesi-ke, ake libeke inhliziyo yenu kukho, kusukela kulolusuku kusiya phambili, kungakabekwa ilitshe phezu kwelitshe ethempelini leNkosi;
16 Mai ia manawa, ina hele aku kekahi i ka puu hua ai he iwakalua na ana ona, a loaa he umi; a i hele aku hoi kekahi i kahi kaomi waina e hookahe ai i na ana he kanalima mailoko mai o ke kaomi waina, a loaa iho he iwakalua wale no.
kusukela lapho umuntu efika enqwabeni yezilinganiso ezingamatshumi amabili, kwakuletshumi kuphela; esiya esikhamelweni sewayini ukukha imbiza ezingamatshumi amahlanu esikhamelweni, kwakulamatshumi amabili kuphela.
17 Hahau aku la au ia oukou i ka maloo a me ka popo, a me ka huahekili ma na hana a pau a ko oukou mau lima; aka, aole o oukou i huli mai i o'u nei, wahi a Iehova.
Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane langesiqhotho, wonke umsebenzi wezandla zenu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
18 E noonoo oukou mai keia la e noho nei a mamua aku, mai ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka malama aiwa, a hiki i kela la i hookumuia'i ka luakini o Iehova; e noonoo oukou.
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 Ua koe anei ka hua ai iloko ka halepapaa? Eia hoi, aole ka waina, a me ka fiku, a me ka pomegerane, a me ka laau oliva i hua mai i ka hua: mai keia la aku nae, e hoomaikai aku no wau ia oukou.
Inhlanyelo isesesiphaleni yini? Yebo, ivini, lomkhiwa, lepomegranati, lesihlahla somhlwathi kakukatheli. Kusukela kulolusuku ngizalibusisa.
20 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Hagai i ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ua malama la, i ka i ana mai,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika ngokwesibili kuHagayi ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga, lisithi:
21 E i aku oe ia Zerubabela ke kiaaina o Iuda, penei, E hoonaue ana au i ka lani a me ka honua;
Khuluma kuZerubhabheli, umbusi wakoJuda, usithi: Ngizazamazamisa amazulu lomhlaba.
22 A e hookahuli au i ka nohoalii o na aupuni, a e hoolilo au i ka ikaika o na aupuni kanaka e i mea ole; e hookahuli hoi au i na halekaa a me ka poe holo maloko; a e haule iho auanei na lio a me na hoohololio, o kela mea keia mea o lakou, i ka pahikaua a kona hoahanau.
Ngigenqule isihlalo sobukhosi semibuso, ngichithe amandla emibuso yezizwe, ngigenqule inqola labagadi bayo; lamabhiza labagadi bawo bazakwehla, ngulowo ngenkemba yomfowabo.
23 Ia la hoi, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, e lawe au ia oe, e Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, o ka'u kauwa, wahi a Iehova, a e hoolike au ia oe me ke komolima hoopili wepa; no ka mea, ua koho au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngizakuthatha, wena Zerubhabheli, ndodana kaSheyalithiyeli, nceku yami, itsho iNkosi, ngikwenze ube njengendandatho elophawu; ngoba ngikukhethile, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
