UZekhariya 8
1 Lafika njalo kimi ilizwi likaThixo uSomandla.
Naʻe toe hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē,
2 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: “Ngilobukhwele kabi ngeZiyoni; ngiyatsha ngobukhwele ngayo.”
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; naʻaku fuaʻa koeʻuhi ko Saione ʻi he fuaʻa lahi, pea naʻaku fuaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia, pea u houhau lahi.”
3 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngizabuyela eZiyoni ngihlale eJerusalema. Lapho-ke iJerusalema izathiwa nguMuzi weQiniso, lentaba kaThixo uSomandla izabizwa ngokuthi yiNtaba eNgcwele.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Kuo u foki mai ki Saione, pea te u nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema: pea ʻe ui ʻa Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻoni; pea ko e moʻunga ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e moʻunga māʻoniʻoni.”
4 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Kuzakwenzakala njalo ukuthi amaxhegu lezalukazi bahlale nje ezitaladini zeJerusalema, ngulowo lodondolo lwakhe esandleni ngenxa yokuluphala.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻE toe nofo ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema ʻae kakai mātuʻa mo e kau finemātuʻa, pea ʻe taki taha toʻo ha tokotoko ʻi hono nima koeʻuhi ko ʻenau motuʻa ʻaupito.
5 Izitalada zedolobho zizaphithizela abafana lamantombazana bezidlalela khona.”
Pea ʻe fonu ʻae hala ʻoe kolo ʻi he tamaiki tangata, mo e tamaiki fefine, ʻoku fakavā ʻi hono ngaahi hala ʻo ia.”
6 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Kungabonakala njengesimanga kwabayinsalela yalababantu ngalesosikhathi, kodwa kambe kungabonakala njengesimanga kimi na?” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Kapau kuo faingataʻa ʻeni ki he mata ʻoe toenga kakai ni, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko eni, pea ʻe faingataʻa ia foki ʻi hoku ʻao ʻoʻoku? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
7 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Ngizabasindisa abantu bami emazweni asempumalanga lasemazweni asentshonalanga.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Vakai, te u fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei he fonua hahake, pea mei he fonua ʻi lulunga;
8 Ngizababuyisela bayehlala eJerusalema; bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngizathembeka njalo ngibe lokulunga kubo njengoNkulunkulu wabo.”
Pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu, pea te nau nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema; pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, pea ko honau ʻOtua au, ʻi he moʻoni mo e māʻoniʻoni.”
9 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Lina okwamanje eliwezwayo amazwi la akhulunywa ngabaphrofethi ababekhona kubekwa isisekelo sendlu kaThixo uSomandla, qinisani izandla zenu ukuze ithempeli lakhiwe.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Ke mālohi homou nima, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fanongo ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni, ki he ngaahi lea ni, mei he ngutu ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe tō ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, koeʻuhi kae langa ʻae fale tapu.
10 Mandulo kwesikhathi leso kwakungekho imbadalo ngomsebenzi womuntu loba owenyamazana. Umuntu loba engubani wayengazihambeli loba azenzele okwakhe ekhululekile ngenxa yezitha, ngoba abantu ngasengibaxabanise labomakhelwane babo.
He naʻe teʻeki ke hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ʻoku fai ʻe ha tangata, pe ha ngāue ke fai ʻe ha manu; pea ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi, naʻe ʻikai fiemālie ha taha naʻe ʻalu atu, pe hū mai; he naʻaku fakafehiʻa ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono kaungāʻapi.
11 Kodwa khathesi kangisayikwenza kulaba abayinsalela njengalokho engakwenzayo endulo,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
Ka ko eni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE ʻikai te u hangē eni ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa ange ki he toenga kakai.
12 “Inhlanyelo izakhula kuhle, ivini lizakhupha izithelo zalo, umhlabathi uzakhulisa amabele, lamazulu azakwehlisa amazolo awo. Zonke lezizinto ngizazinika njengelifa kwabayinsalela yalababantu.
Koeʻuhi ʻe monūʻia ʻae hako: ʻe tuku mai ʻe he vaine ʻa hono fua, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe he kelekele ʻa hono tupu, pea ʻe foaki mei he langi ʻa hono hahau; pea te u pule ke maʻu ʻe he toenga kakai ni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
13 Njengoba beliyinto eqalekisiweyo phakathi kwezizwe, wena Juda lo-Israyeli, ngakho ngizalisindisa libe yisibusiso. Lingesabi, kodwa qinisani izandla zenu.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hangē ko hoʻomou hoko ko e malaʻia, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻe fale ʻo Siuta, mo koe ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu, pea te mou hoko ko e monūʻia: ʻoua naʻa manavahē, ka ʻe tuku ke mālohi homou nima.”
14 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Kanjengalokhu ngasengimisile ukwehlisela umonakalo phezu kwenu angaze ngatshengisa uzwelo lapho okhokho benu bangizondisa,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla,
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Hangē naʻaku loto ke tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he fakahouhauʻi au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Pea naʻe ʻikai te u liliu mei ai:
15 “yikho manje sengimisile ukwenza ubuhle njalo eJerusalema lakoJuda. Lingesabi.
ʻOku pehē foki, kuo u loto ke fai lelei ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni, ki Selūsalema, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta: ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē.”
16 Nanzi izinto okumele lizenze: Khulumani iqiniso omunye komunye, njalo lehlulelane ngeqiniso langokuqonda emithethwandaba yenu;
“Ko eni ʻae ngaahi meʻa te mou fai; Mou taki taha lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ki homou kaungāʻapi; fai ʻae fakamaau ʻi he moʻoni, mo e melino ʻi homou ngaahi matapā.
17 lingakheli umakhelwane wenu amacebo amabi, njalo lingaze lathanda ukufunga ngokungamanga. Konke lokhu ngiyakuzonda,” kutsho uThixo.
Pea ʻoua naʻa femahalokoviʻaki ʻi homou loto ki homou kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa manako ki he fuakava loi; he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ngaahi meʻa ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.”
18 Ilizwi likaThixo uSomandla laphinda labuya kimi.
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē,
19 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi, “Amazilo awenyanga yesine, leyesihlanu, leyesikhombisa kanye leyetshumi azakuba yizikhathi zokuthokoza lokujabula, abe yimikhosi yokuthaba koJuda. Ngakho-ke thandani iqiniso lokuthula.”
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; Ko e ʻaukai ʻi hono fā ʻoe māhina, mo e ʻaukai ʻi hono nima, mo e ʻaukai ʻi hono fitu, mo e ʻaukai ʻi hono hongofulu, ʻe hoko ia ko e fiefia, mo e nekeneka, mo e ngaahi kātoanga fakafiefia ki he fale ʻo Siuta; ko ia mou ʻofa ki he moʻoni, mo e melino.”
20 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: “Abantu abanengi lezakhamizi zamadolobho amanengi basezakuza,
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻE toe haʻu ha kakai mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo kehekehe:
21 njalo izakhamizi zedolobho leli zizakuya kwezakuleliyana zifike zithi, ‘Kasihambe khathesi lokhu siyoncenga uThixo, simfune uThixo uSomandla. Mina sengihamba.’
Pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo ʻe taha ki he kolo ʻe taha, mo nau fepehēʻaki, ‘Ke tau ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo ke lotu kia Sihova, pea ke kumi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: te u ʻalu foki mo au.’
22 Kuzakuthi abantu abanengi lezizwe ezilamandla zizakuza eJerusalema ukuzafuna uThixo uSomandla bezocela kuye.”
ʻIo, ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai kehekehe mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mālohi ke kumi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea ke lotu hū ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema.”
23 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Ngalezonsuku amadoda alitshumi aphuma kuzozonke izindimi lezizwe azagagadlela umphetho wengubo yomJuda oyedwa athi, ‘Wothi sihambe lawe ngoba sesizwile ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulani.’”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻe puke atu ʻe he toko hongofulu mei he ngaahi lea kehekehe ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻio, te nau puke ʻae kapa ʻoe kofu ʻoe Siu mo nau pehē, Te tau ʻo mo koe: he kuo mau fanongo ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua.”
