UZekhariya 1
1 Ngenyanga yesificaminwemibili yomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kumphrofethi uZakhariya indodana kaBherekhiya, indodana ka-Ido lisithi:
Bara Daariyoos keessa, jiʼa saddeettaffaa waggaa lammaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Zakkaariyaas raajicha ilma Berekiyaa, ilma Iddoo dhufe:
2 “UThixo wazondiswa kakhulu ngokhokho benu.
“Waaqayyo akka malee abbootii keessanitti aaree ture.
3 Ngakho tshela abantu uthi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: ‘Buyelani kimi,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla, ‘lami ngizabuya kini,’ utsho njalo uThixo uSomandla.
Kanaafuu akkana jedhii sabatti himi; Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; ‘Gara kootti deebiʼaa’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu; ‘Anis gara keessanitti nan deebiʼaa’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
4 Lingabi njengabokhokho benu, okwatsho kubo abaphrofethi bamandulo, bathi: Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Phendukani ezindleleni zenu zobubi lezenzo zenu ezimbi.’ Kodwa kabafunanga ukulalela loba ukukunanza okwakutshiwo, kutsho uThixo.
Isin akka abbootii keessan kanneen raajonni durii, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, ‘Karaa keessan hamaa fi gochawwan keessan hamaa sana irraa deebiʼaa’ jedha, jedhanii itti lallaban sanaa hin taʼinaa. Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffatan yookaan na hin qalbeeffatan, jedha Waaqayyo.
5 Bangaphi manje okhokho benu na? Bona abaphrofethi kambe baphila okungapheliyo na?
Abbootiin keessan amma eessa jiru? Raajonnis bara baraan jiraatuu?
6 Kodwa amazwi ami lemithetho yami engangilaye ngakho izinceku zami abaphrofethi kakuzange kuze kubafice yini okhokho benu? Kwayikhona bephenduka besithi, ‘UThixo uSomandla wenzile kithi okufanele izindlela zethu lezenzo njengalokho amisa ukukwenza.’”
Garuu dubbiin koo fi seerri koo kan ani tajaajiltoota koo raajota ajaje sun abbootii keessan irra hin geenyee? “Ergasii isaan qalbii jijjiirratanii, ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkuma gochuuf murteesse sanatti waan karaa keenyaa fi gochawwan keenyaaf malu nutti godhe’ jedhan.”
7 Ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lane ngenyanga yetshumi lanye, inyanga uShebhathi, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kumphrofethi uZakhariya indodana kaBherekhiya, indodana ka-Ido.
Bara Daariyoos keessa, waggaa lammaffaatti, bultii afuraffaa jiʼa kudha tokkoffaa, jiʼa Shebaaxi jedhamu keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara Zakkaariyaas raajichaa ilma Berekiyaa, ilma Iddoo dhufe.
8 Ebusuku ngafikelwa ngumbono, khonapho phambi kwami kwakulendoda egade ibhiza elibomvu! Yayimi phakathi kwezihlahla zomethile edongeni. Ngemva kwayo kwakulamanye amabhiza, elibomvu, eliyinsundu lelimhlophe.
Ani halkan keessa mulʼataan namicha farda diimaa yaabbatu tokko fuula koo duratti nan arge! Innis mukkeen kusaayee kanneen laga keessaa gidduu dhaabatee ture. Dugda isaa duubaan fardeen diddiimoo, mammagaallanii fi adaadiitu ture.
9 Ngayibuza ngathi, “Kuyini lokhu, nkosi yami na?” Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yaphendula yathi, “Ngizakutshengisa ukuthi kuyini.”
Anis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, wantoonni kunneen maali!” jedheen gaafadhe. Ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa tures, “Isaan maal akka taʼan ani sin argisiisa” naan jedhe.
10 Kwasekusithi leyondoda eyayimi ezihlahleni zomethile yachaza yathi, “Laba yibo uThixo abathumileyo ukuba bahambe emhlabeni wonke.”
Kana irratti namichi mukkeen kusaayee gidduu dhaabatee jiru sun, “Kunneen warra akka isaan guutummaa lafaa keessa deemaniif Waaqayyo ergee dha” jedhee naa ibse.
11 Basebebika engilosini kaThixo eyayimi phakathi kwezihlahla zomethile bathi, “Sesiwuhambile wonke umhlaba safumana ukuthi ilizwe lihlezi kuhle phakathi kokuthula.”
Isaanis, “Nu lafa guutuu irra naannofnee akka lafti guutuun boqonnaa fi nagaa qabdu argine” jedhanii ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan mukkeen kusaayee gidduu dhaabate sanatti himan.
12 Ingilosi kaThixo yasisithi, “Thixo Somandla, koze kube nini ulokhu ugodla isihawu sakho phezu kweJerusalema lamadolobho akoJuda olokhu uwathukuthelele yonke iminyaka le engamatshumi ayisikhombisa?”
Ergamaan Waaqayyoos, “Yaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, ati Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen waggoota torbaatama itti aarteef hamma yoomiitti hin araaramtu?” jedhe.
13 Ngakho uThixo wasekhuluma amazwi omusa, aduduzayo kuleyongilosi eyayikhuluma lami.
Waaqayyos dubbii gaarii fi dubbii jajjabeessuun ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan na wajjin dubbachaa ture sanatti dubbate.
14 Kwasekusithi ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yathi, “Memezela leli ilizwi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Ngilobukhwele ngeJerusalema leZiyoni,
Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sun akkana jedhe; “Dubbii kana labsi: Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; ‘Ani Yerusaalemii fi Xiyooniif akka malee nan hinaafa;
15 kodwa ngizondile ngalezozizwe ezihlezi zanaba zaziba. Ngangithukuthele kancane kodwa zawengezelela lowo monakalo.’
ani garuu saboota waan nagaa qaban of seʼanitti akka malee aareera. Ani xinnuma aareen ture; isaan garuu ittuma fufanii hamaa hojjetan.’
16 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Ngizabuya eJerusalema ngilomusa, khonapho indlu yami izakwakhiwa kutsha. Intambo yesilinganiso izakwelulwa eJerusalema,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani araaraan Yerusaalemitti nan deebiʼa; manni koos deebifamee ni ijaarama. Funyoon ittiin safaranis Yerusaalem irra ni diriirfama’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
17 Memezela njalo uthi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Amadolobho ami azaphinda njalo aphuphume ngenotho, njalo uThixo uzaphinda ayiduduze iZiyoni, ayikhethe iJerusalema.’”
“Ammas ittuma fufiitii Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha, jedhii labsi: ‘Magaalaawwan koo deebiʼanii badhaadhummaadhaan ni guutamu; Waaqayyos Xiyoonin ni jajjabeessa; Yerusaalemis ni filata.’”
18 Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, phambi kwami kwakulempondo ezine!
Ammas ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo, fuula koo dura gaanfa afurtu ture!
19 Ngabuza ingilosi leyo eyayikhuluma lami, ngathi, “Kuyini lokhu?” Yaphendula yathi, “Lezi yizo impondo ezachitha uJuda, lo-Israyeli leJerusalema.”
Anis, “Kun maali?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sana gaafadhe. Innis, “Kunneen gaanfawwan Yihuudaa, Israaʼelii fi Yerusaalemin gargar bittinneessanii dha” jedhee naaf deebise.
20 UThixo wasengitshengisa abakhandi abane.
Waaqayyos ergasii ogeeyyii hojii harkaa afur na argisiise.
21 Ngabuza ngathi, “Laba bazekwenzani na?” Waphendula wathi, “Lezi yimpondo ezachitha uJuda ukuze angabikhona ovusa ikhanda, kodwa abakhandi balande ukuxegisa amadolo abo, bazilahlele phansi impondo lezi ezezizwe ezaphakamisa impondo zazo phezu kwelizwe lakoJuda ukuchitha abantu balo.”
Anis, “Isaan kunneen maal hojjechuuf dhufan?” jedheen gaafadhe. Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isaan kunneen gaanfawwan akka namni tokko mataa isaa ol hin qabanneef Yihuudaa bittinneessanii dha; ogeeyyiin hojii harkaa kunneen garuu isaan rifachiisuu fi gaanfawwan saboota uummata ishee bittinneessuuf gaanfawwan isaanii biyya Yihuudaatti ol fudhatan kanneenii balleessuuf dhufan.”
