Ɛda a ɛtɔ so aduonu baako wɔ bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no, Awurade de asɛm faa Odiyifoɔ Hagai so sɛ:
2 “Khuluma loZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, loJoshuwa indodana kaJozadaki, umphristi omkhulu kanye lensalela yabantu. Babuze uthi,
“Ka yei kyerɛ Sealtiel babarima Serubabel a ɔyɛ Yuda amrado ne Ɔsɔfopanin Yehosadak babarima Yosua ne Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nkaeɛ a wɔwɔ asase no so hɔ no. Bisa wɔn sɛ,
3 ‘Ngubani kini owasalayo owabona indlu le enkazimulweni yayo yakuqala na? Khathesi ikhangeleka injani kini na? Kayikhangeleki njengeze na?

4 Kodwa khathesi qina wena Zerubhabheli,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Qina wena Joshuwa ndodana kaJozadaki, umphristi omkhulu. Qinani, lonke lina bantu belizwe,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Lisebenze, ngoba ngilani,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
Enti, Serubabel, nya akokoɔduru seesei.’ Saa na Awurade seɛ, ‘Ɔsɔfopanin Yehosadak babarima Yosua, nya akokoɔduru. Mo nnipa a mowɔ asase no so seesei no, monnya akokoɔduru. Awurade na ɔseɛ. Monnya akokoɔduru na monnyɛ adwuma, ɛfiri sɛ, meka mo ho.’ Saa na Asafo Awurade ka.
5 ‘Lokhu yikho engakuvumelana lani ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe. UMoya wami uhlala phakathi kwenu. Lingesabi.’
‘Yei ne apam a me ne mo yɛeɛ ɛberɛ a mofirii Misraim. Me Honhom ka mo ho. Ɛno enti monnsuro.’
6 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: ‘Ngesikhatshana nje ngizaphinda nginyikinye amazulu lomhlaba, ulwandle lelizwe elomileyo.
“Yei ne asɛm a Asafo Awurade seɛ. ‘Ɛrenkyɛre biara, mɛwoso ɔsoro ne asase bio. Mɛwoso ɛpo hahanaa ne asase kesee nso.
7 Ngizanyikinya izizwe zonke, abathandwayo kuzozonke izizwe bazakuza, njalo indlu le ngizayigcwalisa ngenkazimulo,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla,
Mɛwoso aman nyinaa, na aman nyinaa anidasoɔ bɛba, na mede animuonyam bɛhyɛ saa fie ha ma.’ Saa na Asafo Awurade seɛ.
8 ‘Isiliva ngesami legolide ngelami,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
‘Dwetɛ no yɛ me dea. Na sikakɔkɔɔ yɛ me dea.’ Sei na Asafo Awurade seɛ.
9 ‘Inkazimulo yale indlu yakhathesi izakuba nkulu kuleyendlu yakuqala,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla. ‘Njalo indawo le ngizayipha ukuthula,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
‘Saa fie yi animuonyam bɛkorɔn asene nʼanimuonyam a atwam no.’ Saa na Asafo Awurade ka. ‘Na mɛma asomdwoeɛ aba ha.’ Me, Asafo Awurade na makasa.”
10 Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuHagayi umphrofethi lisithi:
Ɔhene Dario adedie mfeɛ mmienu mu, ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nkron no da a ɛtɔ so aduonu ɛnan, Awurade kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ Odiyifoɔ Hagai.
11 “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla uthi: ‘Buza abaphristi ukuthi umthetho uthini:
“Asɛm a Asafo Awurade ka nie: ‘Mommisa asɔfoɔ no deɛ mmara no ka.
12 Nxa umuntu ethwele inyama engcwele ngomphetho wesigqoko sakhe, umphetho lowo uthinte isinkwa loba inyama ephekiweyo, iwayini, amafutha loba okunye ukudla, kuba ngcwele na?’” Abaphristi baphendula bathi, “Hatshi.”
Sɛ ɛnam kronkron bi hyɛ obi atadeɛ mmuano mu, na sɛ ɛho kɔ ka burodo anaa abɔmu, nsã anaa ngo anaa aduane foforɔ bi a, ɛno nso bɛyɛ kronkron anaa?’” Asɔfoɔ no buaa sɛ: “Dabi.”
13 UHagayi wasesithi, “Nxa umuntu ongcoliswe yikuthinta isidumbu ethinta okunye kwalezizinto, kuyangcola na?” “Ye,” kwaphendula abaphristi, “kuyangcola.”
Na Hagai bisaa sɛ, “Na sɛ obi nso de ne ho ka efunu de gu ne ho fi, na ɔde ne ho twitwiri nneɛma a wɔabobɔ din yi bi ho a, na wɔagu ho fi anaa?” Na asɔfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Aane.”
14 UHagayi wasesithi, “‘Kunjalo-ke emehlweni ami ngabantu laba langesizwe lesi,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Lokho abakwenzayo loba abakunikelayo lapho kungcolile.
Afei, Hagai kaa sɛ, “‘Saa ara na nnipa no ne saa ɔman yi teɛ.’ Saa na Awurade seɛ. ‘Biribiara a wɔyɛ ne biribiara a wɔde ba no ho agu fi.
15 Khathesi cabangani kuhle ngalokhu kusukela ngalolusuku kusiya phambili, khumbulani ukuthi izinto zazinjani kungakabekwa elinye ilitshe phezu kwelinye ethempelini likaThixo.
“‘Enti, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, monnwene saa adeɛ yi ho yie. Monkae sɛdeɛ na nneɛma teɛ, ansa na moreto Awurade asɔredan no fapem no.
16 Kwakusithi lapho umuntu efika enqunjini yezilinganiso ezingamatshumi amabili, kwakulezilitshumi kuphela. Kuthi lapho umuntu eye efatshini lewayini ukuba akhe izilinganiso ezingamatshumi amahlanu, kwakulezingamatshumi amabili kuphela.
Ɛberɛ a modwene sɛ mobɛnya mfudeɛ susukora aduonu no, monyaa edu pɛ. Ɛberɛ a mode mo ani buu sɛ mobɛnya gyare aduonum afiri nsakyibea no, monyaa aduonu pɛ.
17 Wonke umsebenzi wezandla zenu ngawutshaya ngomkhuhlane, ngesikhwekhwe langesiqhotho, kodwa kaliphendukelanga kimi,’ kutsho uThixo.
Memaa yadeɛ a ɛsɛe mfudeɛ, ɛbɔ ne ampariboɔ bɛsɛee mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa. Nanso, moampɛ sɛ mobɛsane aba me nkyɛn. Saa na Awurade seɛ.
18 ‘Kusukela lamhla kusiya phambili, kusukela ngalolusuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, cabangani kuhle ngosuku okwabekwa ngalo isisekelo sethempeli likaThixo. Cabangani kuhle:
Ɛfiri ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nkron, da a ɛtɔ so aduonu ɛnan yi, monnwene da a wɔtoo Awurade asɔredan fapem no ho yie.
19 Kuselenhlanyelo eseleyo esiphaleni na? Kuze kube khathesi, ivini lomkhiwa, iphomegranathi lesihlahla se-Oliva asikatheli izithelo. Kusukela ngalolusuku kusiya phambili ngizalibusisa.’”
Aba bi aka asan no so anaa? Ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ, bobe, borɔdɔma, ateaa ne ngo dua aso wɔn aba anaa? “‘Ɛfiri saa da yi rekorɔ no, mɛhyira mo.’”
20 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika ngokwesibili kuHagayi ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa Hagai nkyɛn ne mprenu so wɔ ɔbosome no da a ɛtɔ aduonu ɛnan:
21 “Tshela uZerubhabheli umbusi wakoJuda ukuthi ngizanyikinya amazulu lomhlaba.
“Ka kyerɛ Serubabel a ɔyɛ Yuda amrado no sɛ, merebɛwoso ɔsoro ne asase.
22 Ngizagenqula izihlalo zobukhosi ngichithe amandla emibuso yezizweni. Ngizagenqula izinqola zempi labagadi bazo; amabhiza labagadi bawo bazakuwa, ngamunye ngenkemba yomfowabo.
Mɛbutu ahennwa, na masɛe ananafoɔ ahemman no tumi. Mɛdane wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn a wɔka no abutu. Apɔnkɔ akafoɔ no bɛhwehwe ase na wɔakunkum wɔn ho.
23 ‘Ngalolosuku,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla, ‘ngizakuthatha wena nceku yami Zerubhabheli ndodana kaSheyalithiyeli,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘njalo ngizakwenza ube njengesongo eliluphawu lwami, ngoba sengikukhethile,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
“‘Ɛda no’ Asafo Awurade ka sɛ, ‘Mɛfa wo, Sealtiel babarima, me ɔsomfoɔ Serubabel, mɛfa wo sɛ nsɔano kawa, ɛfiri sɛ mayi wo.’ Me Asafo Awurade, na makasa.”
