1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na moko ya sanza ya sambo:
Ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngolwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
2 « Loba na Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, moyangeli ya Yuda; na Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe na bato nyonso oyo batikali:
Khuluma khathesi kuZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lakuJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, lakunsali yabantu, usithi:
3 ‹ Kati na bino oyo bozali na bomoi, nani amonaki Ndako oyo kati na nkembo na yango ya liboso? Bongo sik’oyo, bozali komona yango ndenge nini? Boni, ezali te komonana na miso na bino lokola eloko ya pamba?
Ngubani oseleyo phakathi kwenu owabona lindlu enkazimulweni yayo yakuqala? Liyibona njani khathesi? Kayinjengento engekho yini emehlweni enu nxa ilinganiswa layo?
4 Kasi sik’oyo, Zorobabeli, zala makasi, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, zala makasi. Bino nyonso bato ya ekolo, bozala makasi, › elobi Yawe, ‹ bosala mosala, pamba te nazali elongo na bino, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
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 ‹ Kolanda mokano oyo nazwaki mpo na bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito, Molimo na Ngai azali kati na bino. Bobanga te. ›
njengokwelizwi engavumelana ngalo lani ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe, ngokunjalo umoya wami uhlala phakathi kwenu; lingesabi.
6 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Na mwa tango moke, nakoningisa lisusu Likolo mpe mokili, ebale monene mpe mabele;
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusekanye, kuyisikhatshana, ngizazamazamisa amazulu, lomhlaba, lolwandle, lomhlabathi owomileyo;
7 nakoningisa bato ya bikolo nyonso, bomengo ya bikolo nyonso ekoya na esika oyo, mpe nakotondisa Ndako oyo na nkembo, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
ngizamazamise izizwe zonke, lesiloyiso sezizwe zonke sizafika; ngigcwalise lindlu ngenkazimulo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
8 ‹ Wolo mpe palata ezali ya Ngai, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
Isiliva ngesami, legolide ngelami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
9 ‹ Nkembo ya Ndako ya sika ekozala monene koleka nkembo ya Ndako ya kala, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ‹ mpe nakotia kimia na esika oyo, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. »
Inkazimulo yalindlu yokucina izakuba nkulu kuleyokuqala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; lakulindawo ngizanika ukuthula, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
10 Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya libwa:
Ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, lafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
11 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Tuna Banganga-Nzambe makambo oyo osengeli kosala kolanda mobeko:
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Buza khathesi abapristi ngomthetho, usithi:
12 — Soki moto moko amemi na songe ya elamba mosuni oyo ebulisama, mpe songe yango etuti lipa to ndunda to vino to mafuta to bilei mosusu, boni, ekokoma bule? › » Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Te, ekokoma bule te!
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 Mosakoli Aje alobaki: — Soki moto oyo akomaki mbindo mpo ete asimbaki ebembe asimbi eloko moko kati na biloko wana, boni, eloko yango ekokoma mbindo? Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Iyo, ekokoma mbindo.
Wasesithi uHagayi: Uba ongcoliswe yisidumbu ethinta loba yiziphi zalezi, kuzangcola yini? Abapristi basebephendula bathi: Kuzangcola.
14 Mosakoli Aje alobaki lisusu: « Bato oyo mpe ekolo oyo bazali nde ndenge wana na miso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « misala nyonso oyo basalaka mpe biloko nyonso oyo babonzelaka Ngai ezalaka ya mbindo.
Khona uHagayi waphendula wathi: Banjalo lababantu, futhi sinjalo lesisizwe phambi kwami, itsho iNkosi, futhi unjalo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, lalokho abakunikelayo lapho kungcolile.
15 Mpe sik’oyo, kobanda lelo, botala malamu makambo oyo ekoya liboso ete libanga moko etiama na likolo ya libanga mosusu kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
Khathesi-ke, ake libeke inhliziyo yenu kukho, kusukela kulolusuku kusiya phambili, kungakabekwa ilitshe phezu kwelitshe ethempelini leNkosi;
16 Tango moto moko azalaki koya mpo na kozwa bikolo tuku mibale ya ble na ebombelo, azalaki kokuta kaka bikolo zomi; tango moto moko azalaki kokende na ekamolelo masanga ya vino mpo na kozwa bambeki tuku mitano ya vino, azalaki kaka kokuta bambeki tuku mibale.
kusukela lapho umuntu efika enqwabeni yezilinganiso ezingamatshumi amabili, kwakuletshumi kuphela; esiya esikhamelweni sewayini ukukha imbiza ezingamatshumi amahlanu esikhamelweni, kwakulamatshumi amabili kuphela.
17 Napesaki bino etumbu, tango nabebisaki misala na bino nyonso ya maboko, tango natindelaki yango bokono ya ndenge na ndenge mpe tango nanokisaki mvula ya mabanga. Kasi atako bongo, bozongaki epai na Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane langesiqhotho, wonke umsebenzi wezandla zenu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
18 « Kobanda lelo, mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, botala malamu miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, oyo batiaki; botala malamu penza makambo oyo ekoleka.
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 Boni, bibombelo na bino ezali lisusu na bambuma? Kino na moyi ya lelo, ata elanga moko te ya vino, ya figi, ya grenade mpe ya olive esili kobota bambuma. Kasi kobanda lelo, nakopambola bino. »
Inhlanyelo isesesiphaleni yini? Yebo, ivini, lomkhiwa, lepomegranati, lesihlahla somhlwathi kakukatheli. Kusukela kulolusuku ngizalibusisa.
20 Yawe alobaki, na mbala ya mibale, na mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya libwa:
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika ngokwesibili kuHagayi ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga, lisithi:
21 « Loba na Zorobabeli, moyangeli ya Yuda, ete nakoningisa likolo mpe mabele,
Khuluma kuZerubhabheli, umbusi wakoJuda, usithi: Ngizazamazamisa amazulu lomhlaba.
22 nakobalola bakiti ya bokonzi, nakosilisa nguya ya bokonzi ya mikili ya bapagano, nakokweyisa bashar mpe bato oyo batambolisaka yango; bampunda ekokweya elongo na bato oyo batambolaka likolo na yango, bango na bango bakobomana na mopanga.
Ngigenqule isihlalo sobukhosi semibuso, ngichithe amandla emibuso yezizwe, ngigenqule inqola labagadi bayo; lamabhiza labagadi bawo bazakwehla, ngulowo ngenkemba yomfowabo.
23 Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « nakozwa yo Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, mosali na Ngai, mpe nakokomisa yo lokola kashe na Ngai, pamba te ezali yo nde Ngai napona, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngizakuthatha, wena Zerubhabheli, ndodana kaSheyalithiyeli, nceku yami, itsho iNkosi, ngikwenze ube njengendandatho elophawu; ngoba ngikukhethile, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
