Hagi ana knafina kasnampa netre Hagai'ene Ido nemofo Zekaraiakea Israeli vahe Anumzamofo agifi kasnampa kea Jerusalemi vahete'ene Juda vahetera huama huke zamasami'na'e.

2 Kwasekusithi uZerubhabheli indodana kaShelathiyeli loJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki baqalisa ukwakha kutsha indlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema. Abaphrofethi bakaNkulunkulu babelabo bebancedisa.

Hagi ana ke'ma hutake'za, Sealtieli nemofo Zerubabeli'ene Jozadaki nemofo Jeshuakea otike Jerusalemi kumate'ma Anumzamofo mono noma eme atre'naza eri'zana ete eri agafa huke enerike'za, Anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena zanaza hake'za ana eri'zana eri'naze.

3 Ngalesosikhathi uThathenayi umbusi wangaphetsheya kweYufrathe loShethari-Bhozenayi labaphathisi babo baya kubo bababuza bathi, “Ngubani olivumeleyo ukwakha kutsha ithempeli leli lokuvuselela lesisakhiwo?”

Hanki anama nehazage'za, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kuma'ma kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Tetanai'ene, eri'za ne'a Setar Bozenai'ene zanagranema eriza'ma eneriza vahe'mo'zanena Israeli vahete Jerusalemi vu'za amanage hu'naze, iza huramantegetma ama mono nona eri ante fatgo hutama negize?

4 Babuza njalo bathi, “Ngobani amabizo amadoda ayakhayo indlu le na?”

Anage nehu'za mago'ene amanage hu'za zamantahige'naze, Iza'za ama mono noma ki eri'zana enerizafi zamagi'a tasamiho?

5 Kodwa ilihlo likaNkulunkulu wabo lalibalindile abadala babaJuda njalo kabazange beme kuze kuyefika umbiko kuDariyu kubuye njalo impendulo yakhe ibhaliwe.

Hianagi zamagri Anumzamo'a avunteno Juda ranra vahera kegava huzmante'ne. Ana hige'za Pesiati'ma e'nea kva ne'ene eri'za vahe'amo'za, Juda nagara eri'za zamia asevazi ozmantage'za eri'za nevu'za, Tatenai'ma avoma kremisigenoma kini ne' Dariusi'ma, ana avonte'ma kenonama hanigu avega ante'naze.

6 Le yiyo incwadi eyathunyelwa nguThathenayi umbusi wangaphetsheya kweYufrathe loShethari-Bhozenayi labasekeli babo, izinduna zaphetsheya kweYufrathe yaya kuDariyu iNkosi.

Hanki Yufretisi ran timofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumama kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Tatenai'ene eri'za ne'a Setar Bozenai'ene zanagranema eri'zama magokama eneriza, kini ne' Dariusina amanage hu'za avona kre'za atrente'naze.

7 Umbiko abawuthumelayo wawubhalwe kanje: Kuyo iNkosi uDariyu: Ukubingelela okuhle.

Ana avoma kremi'naza avomo'a amanahu hu'ne. Kini ne' Dariusiga musenke atregantonanki krimpa fru'ne manigahane.

8 Inkosi kufanele yazi ukuthi saya esiqintini sakoJuda, ethempelini likaNkulunkulu omkhulu. Abantu bayalakha ngamatshe amakhulu, kunqunyiswa imijabo emidulini. Umsebenzi uqhutshwa ngokukhuthala, njalo uyaphambili ngokuphangisa ukhokhelwa yibo.

Kini ne'mokama menima kasamisunana, tagra Juda mopare vuta ome konana, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona negizageta ke'none. Ana mono nona tusinasi have taga hu'za negi'za, noma vazisgama hania zana zafareti kitagi'za asoparega nona azeri oti'naze. Mika vahe'mo'za kva hu'ne'za ana eri'zana hankaveti'za enerizageno, eri'zamo'a ame huno nevie.

9 Sabuza abadala bakhona sathi, “Ngubani oliphe imvumo yokwakha kutsha leli ithempeli lokuvuselela isakhiwo lesi?”

Anante amanage huta ranra vahera zamantahige'none. Iza hu' izoa huramantegetma ama mono nona ete erinte fatgo huta negize?

10 Njalo sababuza amabizo abo ukuze sibhale amabizo abakhokheli babo sisenzela ukukwazisa.

Ana nehuta avompima zamagima kreta kagri'ma kasamisnunkura, vugotama hu'nage'zama eri'zama eneriza vahe zamagigu zamantahige'none.

11 Nansi impendulo abasipha yona: “Siyizinceku zikaNkulunkulu wezulu lomhlaba, yikho silakha kutsha ithempeli elakhiwa kudala, elakhiwa yinkosi enkulu yako-Israyeli yaliqeda.

Anagema nehunke'za amanage hu'za tasami'naze, Anumzana monane mopanema tro'ma huno'ma kegavama hu'nea Anumzamofo eri'za vahe tagra mani'nonankita, korapara Israeli vahe'mota hankavenentake kini ne'mo, ama mono nona ki'nea no, ha' vahetimo'za eme eri haviza hu'naza no, ete azeri otita negune,

12 Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi okhokho bethu bamthukuthelisa uNkulunkulu wasezulwini, wabanikela ezandleni zikaNebhukhadineza umKhaladiya, inkosi yaseBhabhiloni owalibhidlizayo lelithempeli abantu wabaxotshela eBhabhiloni.

na'ankure Monafima mani'nea Anumzamofona tagehe'za rimpahe avu'avaza hazageno, Kaldiati ne' Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesana atregeno eno Anumzamofo mono nona eme eri haviza nehuno, ana maka vahera zamavareno Babiloni vuno kina ome huzmante'ne.

13 Kodwa ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKhurosi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, iNkosi uKhurosi wakhupha isimemezelo sokuthi kwakhiwe indlu kaNkulunkulu.

Hianagi Babiloni kini ne' Sairusi'ma agafa huno kinima mania kafufina, kini ne' Sairusi'a mago huvempage huno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nona ete kiho huno hu'ne.

14 Wabuye wasusa ethempelini laseBhabhiloni impahla zegolide lesiliva ezendlu kaNkulunkulu ezazithethwe nguNebhukhadineza ethempelini eJerusalema waziletha ethempelini eBhabhiloni. Kwathi iNkosi uKhurosi yazinika indoda eyayithiwa nguSheshibhazari, eyamkhetha ukuba ngumbusi,

Anage nehuno ko'ma Nebukatnesa'ma Jerusalemi kumateti'ma Anumzamofo mono nompinti golireti'ene silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamima me'neana erino Babiloni vuno, havi anumza'amofo mono nompima ome ante'nea zantamina, kini ne' Sairusi'a erino, Sesbasari'e nehaza ne' Juda mopare gavana mani'nogu kini ne' Sairusi'a agrama huhamparinte'nea ne' ana zantamina nemino,

15 wamtshela wathi, ‘Thatha impahla lezi uhambe lazo uyezibeka ethempelini eJerusalema. Njalo yakha kakutsha indlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.’

amanage huno asami'ne, vunka Jerusalemi ra mono nompi amana zantamina ome nentenka, Anumzamofo mono noma ko'ma me'nere ete anante azeri otinka kio huno hunte'ne.

16 Yikho uSheshibhazari weza wabeka izisekelo zendlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema. Kusukela ngalelolanga kuze kube manje ibilokhu isakhiwa kodwa kayikapheli.”

Ana hu'negu Sesbasari'a Jerusalemi eno ama Anumzamofo mono noma ki tra'a ki'ne. Hianagi ana knareti'ma eno ama knare'ma egeta, ana nona ki vava hu'nonanagi, ki vagaore'none huza tasami'naze.

17 Ngakho-ke nxa kulungile enkosini, kakudingisiswe ezincwadini zezindaba zamakhosi aseBhabhiloni kubonwe ingabe yikho na ukuthi iNkosi uKhurosi wayesenzile isimemezelo sokuthi yakhiwe indlu le kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema. Lapho-ke inkosi kayisithumele isinqumo sayo ngendaba le.

Juda vahe'mo'za e'inahu ke hazagu, Babiloni vahe'mo'zama fenozama nentaza nompima me'nenigura, kini ne'moka eri'za vaheka'a huzmante'snanke'za, ko'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamimofo agenkema krente'naza avontafera hake'za, kini ne' Sairusi'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono noma Jerusalema ete kihoma huno huzmante'nesia kegura, Juda vahe'mo'za tamage hazafi hake'za eri fore hiho. Anama hutesanagenka, ana zankura na'ane huta huzmantegahumpi, kini ne'moka tasamio.
