Abaprofethi, oHagayi umprofethi loZekhariya indodana kaIdo, basebeprofetha kumaJuda ayekoJuda laseJerusalema, ebizweni likaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli phezu kwawo.

4 Elos oayapa siyuk inen mukul nukewa su wi musai Tempul sac.
Sasesibatshela ngokunjalo: Ngobani amabizo abantu abakha lesisakhiwo?
5 Tusruktu God El tawi na mwet kol lun mwet Jew, ac mwet pwapa Persia elos sulela mu elos ac tia mukuikui kac nwe ke elos sim nu sin Tokosra Fulat Darius ac eis kas sel.
Kodwa ilihlo likaNkulunkulu wabo laliphezu kwabadala bamaJuda, ukuthi kababenzanga beme, ize ifike leyondaba kuDariyusi, baze babuyisele-ke incwadi ngayo.
6 Pa inge kas ma elos supwala nu sel tokosra fulat:

Kakwaziwe enkosini ukuthi saya esabelweni sakoJuda, endlini kaNkulunkulu omkhulu, eyakhiwe ngamatshe amakhulu, izigodo sezifakiwe emidulwini; njalo lumsebenzi uyenziwa ngokuphangisa, uphumelela esandleni sabo.
9 “Kut tuh siyuk sin mwet kol lalos in fahk nu sesr lah su sapkin tuh elos in sifil musai Tempul sac ac sang kufwa nu kac.
Sasesibabuza labobadala sakhuluma kanje kubo: Ngubani obeke umthetho kini wokwakha lindlu lokuqedisa lumduli?
10 Kut oayapa siyuk selos inen mwet kol orekma uh kut in mau ku pac in akkalemye nu sum.
Njalo sababuza amabizo abo ukuze sikwazise, ukuze sibhale amabizo abantu abazinhloko zabo.
11 “Elos topuk ac fahk, ‘Kut mwet kulansap lun God lun kusrao ac faclu, ac kut sifil musai Tempul se su nuna musala ac itukyang kufwa nu kac yac puspis somla sin sie tokosra na ku lun Israel.
Langokunjalo babuyisela ilizwi kithi besithi: Thina siyizinceku zikaNkulunkulu wamazulu lomhlaba, sakha indlu eyayakhiwe iminyaka eminengi phambi kwalokhu, inkosi enkulu yakoIsrayeli eyayakha yayiqeda.
12 Tuh ke sripen mwet matu lasr meet ah akkasrkusrakye God lun Kusrao, El fuhlela elos in sruoh sin Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia, sie sin leum lun Chaldea. Tempul sac tuh kunausyukla, ac utukla mwet uh nu in sruoh Babylonia.
Kodwa emva kwalokho obaba bamthukuthelisa uNkulunkulu wamazulu, wabanikela esandleni sikaNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, umKhaladiya, owachitha lindlu, wathumbela abantu eBhabhiloni.
13 Na in yac se meet ke Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el leumi acn Babylonia, el sapkin tuh Tempul uh in sifil musaiyuk.
Kodwa ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yeBhabhiloni, uKoresi inkosi wamisa umthetho wokwakha lindlu kaNkulunkulu.
14 El sifil folokunla ahlu gold ac silver ke Tempul su Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla liki Tempul Jerusalem ac filiya in tempul in Babylon. Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el folokonang ma inge nu sin mwet se pangpang Sheshbazzar, su el srisrngiya in governor lun Judah.
Njalo lezitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu ezingezegolide lesiliva uNebhukadinezari ayezithethe wazisusa ethempelini eliseJerusalema waziletha ethempelini leBhabhiloni, lezo uKoresi inkosi wazikhupha ethempelini leBhabhiloni, zanikwa olebizo elinguSheshibazari ayembeke ukuthi abe ngumbusi.
15 Tokosra Fulat el fahkang nu sel elan us ma inge ac folokunla nu in Tempul Jerusalem, oayapa elan sifil musaeak Tempul fin acn se ma tu we meet ah.
Wasesithi kuye: Thatha lezizitsha, uyezibeka ethempelini eliseJerusalema, lendlu kaNkulunkulu kayakhiwe endaweni yayo.
16 Ouinge Sheshbazzar el som ac oakiya pwelung la. Na musa sac tutafla in pacl sac me nwe inge, tusruktu soenna safla.’
Ngakho uSheshibazari lo wafika wabeka izisekelo zendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema; njalo kusukela kulesosikhathi kuze kube khathesi ilokhu isakhiwa, kayikapheli.
17 “Inge, O Tokosra Fulat, fin ou lungse lom, sap in sukok in ma simla ke sramsram matu Babylon, tuh in kalem lah pwaye ku sutuu lah Tokosra Fulat Cyrus pa sapkin tuh Tempul se in Jerusalem inge in sifilpa musaiyuk. Na kom fah akkalemye nu sesr lah mea kom nunku mu fal in orek ke sripa se inge.”
Ngakho-ke uba kulungile enkosini kakuhlolisiswe endlini yokuligugu kwenkosi ekhona eBhabhiloni ukuthi kungaba yikuthi umthetho wenziwa yini nguKoresi inkosi wokwakha lindlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema. Kayithumele-ke intando yenkosi kithi mayelana lalinto.
