< Zekaria 13 >
1 I A LA hoi, e hoohuaiia auanei he punawai no ka ohana a Davida, a no na kanaka o Ierusalema, No ka hewa a me ka haumia.
“Ngalelolanga umthombo uzavulelwa indlu kaDavida labakhileyo eJerusalema, ukubahlanza izono lokungcola.
2 Eia hoi kekahi ia la, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, E anai aku au i na inoa o na kii mai ka aina aku, I hoomanao hou ole ia lakou; A e hookuke aku hoi au i na kaula a me ka uhane haukae mai ka aina aku.
Ngalelolanga ngizawasusa amabizo ezithombe elizweni ukuze zingakhunjulwa njalo,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla. “Ngizabasusa abaphrofethi kanye lomoya wokungcola phakathi kwelizwe.
3 A e hiki auanei, ina e wanana kekahi kanaka, Alaila e i aku ai kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine nana ia i hanau, Aole oe e ola; no ka mea, he olelo hoopunipuni kau ma ka inoa o Iehova: A o kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine nana ia i hanau, E hou iho laua ia ia, i kana wanana ana.
Nxa ezabe elokhu ekhona ophrofethayo, uyise lonina abamzalayo bazakuthi kuye, ‘Kumele ufe ngoba usukhulume amanga ngegama likaThixo.’ Uzakuthi ephrofitha abazali bakhe ngokwabo bazamgwaza.
4 Eia hoi kekahi ia la, e hilahila no kela kaula keia kaula, I kona hihio, ia ia i wanana mai ai; Aole hoi ia e hoaahu ae i ka aahu hulu i mea e hoopunipuni ai:
Ngalelolanga ngulowo lalowo umphrofethi uzaba lamanhloni ngombono wakhe wokuphrofetha. Akayikwembatha isivunulo somphrofethi esoboya ezama ukukhohlisa.
5 Aka, e olelo auanei oia, Aole au he kaula, Aka, he kanaka mahiai au, No ka mea, na ke kanaka au i kuai ai mai kuu wa kamalii mai.
Uzakuthi, ‘Kangisuye umphrofethi, ngingumlimi; umhlabathi uyilapho okulokuphila kwami kusukela ebutsheni bami’
6 A e olelo aku kekahi ia ia, O ke aha keia mau wahi eha ma kou mau lima? E i mai kela, Oia kahi a'u i hoehaia'i, Iloko o ka hale o ka poe i aloha mai ia'u.
Aluba ebuzwa kuthiwe, ‘Ngawani amanxeba la asemzimbeni wakho?’ Uzaphendula athi, ‘Ngamanxeba engawazuza endlini yabangane bami.’
7 E ka pahikaua, e ala ku e oe i kuu Kahuhipa, I ke kanaka Hoa o'u, wahi a Iehova o na kaua. E hahau i ke Kahuhipa, a e hooauheeia na hipa; E hoohuli aku au i kuu lima maluna o ka poe liilii.
Vuka, wena nkemba, vukela umelusi wami, uvukele umuntu osekhwapheni lami!” kutsho uThixo uSomandla. “Tshaya umelusi, izimvu zizahlakazeka, njalo ngizaphendula isandla sami ngitshaye ezincinyane.
8 A iloko o ka aina a pau, wahi a Iehova, E hookiia'i na hapakolu elua o ka poe iloko, a make; Aka, e hookoeia kekahi hapa ilaila.
Kulolonke ilizwe,” kutsho uThixo, “ezimbili kwezintathu zizatshaywa zife; kodwa ingxenye yesithathu izasala kulo.
9 A e alakai au i kekahi hapakolu iwaena o ke ahi, A e hoohehee au ia lakou e like me ka hooheheeia ana o ke kala, E hoao hoi au ia lakou e like me ka hoao ana i ke gula: E kahea mai ia poe i kuu inoa, a e hoolohe au ia lakou: E olelo auanei au, O ko'u poe kanaka keia; A e olelo hoi lakou, O Iehova ko'u Akua.
Le ingxenye yesithathu ngizayifaka emlilweni; ngizabancibilikisa ngibacenge njengesiliva ngibahlolisise njengegolide. Bazalibiza ibizo lami, lami ngizabaphendula; ngizakuthi, ‘Bangabantu bami,’ labo bazakuthi, ‘UThixo unguNkulunkulu wethu.’”
