< UHagayi 2 >
1 Ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngolwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu olumu mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nti,
2 Khuluma khathesi kuZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lakuJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, lakunsali yabantu, usithi:
“Yogera ne Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ow’essaza lya Yuda ne Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu, n’abantu abaasigalawo, obabuuze nti,
3 Ngubani oseleyo phakathi kwenu owabona lindlu enkazimulweni yayo yakuqala? Liyibona njani khathesi? Kayinjengento engekho yini emehlweni enu nxa ilinganiswa layo?
‘Ani mu mmwe akyasigaddewo eyalaba ku kitiibwa ky’ennyumba eno? Ebafaananira etya kaakano? Tebafaananira ng’eteriimu kaabuntu?
4 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,
Kale nno guma omwoyo, ggwe Zerubbaberi, bw’ayogera Mukama; guma omwoyo, ggwe Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu; mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abantu ab’omu nsi,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘Mukole, kubanga ndi wamu nammwe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
5 njengokwelizwi engavumelana ngalo lani ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe, ngokunjalo umoya wami uhlala phakathi kwenu; lingesabi.
‘Kino kye nalagaana nammwe bwe mwali muva mu Misiri, ng’Omwoyo wange anaabeeranga nammwe. Temutya.’
6 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusekanye, kuyisikhatshana, ngizazamazamisa amazulu, lomhlaba, lolwandle, lomhlabathi owomileyo;
“Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Mu bbanga eritali ly’ewala ndikankanya eggulu n’ensi, n’ennyanja n’olukalu.
7 ngizamazamise izizwe zonke, lesiloyiso sezizwe zonke sizafika; ngigcwalise lindlu ngenkazimulo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Ndikankanya amawanga gonna, n’amawanga gonna ge njagala galijja, ne nzijuza ennyumba eno ekitiibwa,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
8 Isiliva ngesami, legolide ngelami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
‘Effeeza yange, ne zaabu yange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye.
9 Inkazimulo yalindlu yokucina izakuba nkulu kuleyokuqala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; lakulindawo ngizanika ukuthula, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
‘Ekitiibwa eky’ennyumba eriwo kaakano, kirisinga ekitiibwa ky’eri eyasooka era mu kifo kino ndizzaawo emirembe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
10 Ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, lafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogw’omwenda mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’okufuga kwa Daliyo, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nti,
11 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Buza khathesi abapristi ngomthetho, usithi:
“Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Buuza bakabona etteeka kye ligamba.
12 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.
Omuntu bw’asitulira ennyama eyatukuzibwa mu kirenge eky’ekyambalo kye, ekirenge ne kikoma ku mugaati oba ku supu, oba ku wayini, oba ku mafuta oba ku mmere endala yonna, bitukuzibwa?’” Bakabona ne baddamu nti, “Nedda.”
13 Wasesithi uHagayi: Uba ongcoliswe yisidumbu ethinta loba yiziphi zalezi, kuzangcola yini? Abapristi basebephendula bathi: Kuzangcola.
Awo Kaggayi n’abuuza nti, “Omuntu atali mulongoofu olw’omulambo, bw’akoma ku bintu ebyo, bifuuka ebitali birongoofu?” Bakabona ne baddamu nti, “Bifuuka ebitali birongoofu.”
14 Khona uHagayi waphendula wathi: Banjalo lababantu, futhi sinjalo lesisizwe phambi kwami, itsho iNkosi, futhi unjalo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, lalokho abakunikelayo lapho kungcolile.
Kaggayi n’addamu nti, “Kale nno bwe batyo bwe bali abantu bano n’eggwanga lino. Buli kye bakola ne buli kye bawaayo ng’ekiweebwayo, si kirongoofu,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
15 Khathesi-ke, ake libeke inhliziyo yenu kukho, kusukela kulolusuku kusiya phambili, kungakabekwa ilitshe phezu kwelitshe ethempelini leNkosi;
“‘Kale nno, mweddeko okuva ku lunaku lwa leero, mujjukire ebiseera biri bwe byali, nga n’ejjinja erimu terinnateekebwa ku linnaalyo mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
16 kusukela lapho umuntu efika enqwabeni yezilinganiso ezingamatshumi amabili, kwakuletshumi kuphela; esiya esikhamelweni sewayini ukukha imbiza ezingamatshumi amahlanu esikhamelweni, kwakulamatshumi amabili kuphela.
Omuntu yenna bwe yatuukanga ku ntuumu eyandibadde ey’ebipimo amakumi abiri, yassangawo ebipimo kkumi. Omuntu yenna bwe yalaganga mu ssogolero okusenamu lita amakumi ataano, yasangangamu amakumi abiri.
17 Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane langesiqhotho, wonke umsebenzi wezandla zenu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
Nakolimira emirimu gyonna egy’emikono gyammwe n’okugengewala n’obukuku, n’omuzira, naye ne mutakyuka kudda gye ndi,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
18 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.
Okuva olunaku lwa leero, olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya mu mwezi ogw’omwenda, mujjukire olunaku lwe baazimba omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama. Mwebuuze nti,
19 Inhlanyelo isesesiphaleni yini? Yebo, ivini, lomkhiwa, lepomegranati, lesihlahla somhlwathi kakukatheli. Kusukela kulolusuku ngizalibusisa.
Wakyaliwo ensigo eyasigala mu tterekero? Mulabe, emiti gino egimenyeddwa, ogw’omuzabbibu n’ogw’omutiini, n’ogw’omukomamawanga, n’ogw’omuzeeyituuni tegibalangako bibala. “‘Naye okuva ne leero ndibawa omukisa.’”
20 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika ngokwesibili kuHagayi ngolwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga, lisithi:
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Kaggayi omulundi ogwokubiri ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogwo nga kigamba nti,
21 Khuluma kuZerubhabheli, umbusi wakoJuda, usithi: Ngizazamazamisa amazulu lomhlaba.
“Tegeeza Zerubbaberi gavana wa Yuda nti ndikankanya eggulu n’ensi.
22 Ngigenqule isihlalo sobukhosi semibuso, ngichithe amandla emibuso yezizwe, ngigenqule inqola labagadi bayo; lamabhiza labagadi bawo bazakwehla, ngulowo ngenkemba yomfowabo.
Ndisulika entebe ez’obwakabaka ne nzigyawo obuyinza bw’obwakabaka obunnaggwanga. Ndiwamba amagaali n’abavuzi baago, n’embalaasi na buli abazeebagala, balittibwa baganda baabwe.
23 Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngizakuthatha, wena Zerubhabheli, ndodana kaSheyalithiyeli, nceku yami, itsho iNkosi, ngikwenze ube njengendandatho elophawu; ngoba ngikukhethile, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
“‘Ku lunaku olwo, ggwe omuweereza wange Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ndikufuula ng’akabonero, kubanga nkulonze,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
