UZekhariya 4
1 Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yabuya futhi, yangivusa, njengomuntu ovuswa ebuthongweni bakhe.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, ʻo ne fafangu au, ʻo hangē ko e fafangu ha taha ʻoku mohe.
2 Yathi kimi: Ubonani? Ngasengisithi: Ngibonile, khangela-ke uluthi lwesibane lwegolide lonke, lomganu phezu kwesihloko salo, lezibane zalo eziyisikhombisa phezu kwalo; kulezimpompi eziyisikhombisa leziyisikhombisa ezingasezibaneni, eziphezu kwesihloko salo.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke sio ki ai?” Pea naʻaku pehē ʻeau, “Kuo u sio, pea vakai, ko e tuʻunga maama ko e koula haohaoa pe, mo e ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻi ʻolunga, mo hono tuʻunga maama ʻe fitu ʻi ai, mo e tafeʻanga lolo ʻe fitu ki he tuʻunga maama ʻe fitu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono potu ki ʻolunga:
3 Lezihlahla zomhlwathi ezimbili eceleni kwalo, esinye ngakwesokunene komganu, lesinye ngakwesokhohlo kwawo.
Pea ʻoku tuʻu vāofi mo ia ʻae ongo ʻakau ko e ʻolive, ko e taha ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻaiʻanga lolo, pea ko e taha ʻi hono potu fakatoʻohema.”
4 Ngasengiphendula ngikhuluma kuyo ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami, ngisithi: Lezizinto ziyini, nkosi yami?
Ko ia ne u pehēange ai ki he ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e hā ʻena?”
5 Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yasiphendula yathi kimi: Kawazi yini ukuthi lezizinto ziyini? Ngasengisithi: Hatshi, nkosi yami.
Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae ngaahi meʻa na?” Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ʻoku ʻikai.”
6 Yasiphendula yakhuluma lami isithi: Leli yilizwi leNkosi kuZerubhabheli, lisithi: Hatshi ngamandla, hatshi-ke ngengalo, kodwa ngomoya wami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Pea toki tali mai ʻe ia ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Ko eni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selupepeli, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ʻi ha kau tau pe ʻi ha mālohi, ka ʻi hoku Laumālie ʻoʻoku, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.’”
7 Ungubani wena, ntaba enkulu? Phambi kukaZerubhabheli uzakuba ligceke. Yena uzaveza ilitshe eliyinhloko ngokumemeza okukhulu: Umusa, umusa kulo!
Ko hai koe, ʻE moʻunga māʻolunga? ʻE fakalafalafa hifo koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Selupepeli: pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae maka tauʻolunga ki ai ʻi he mavava mo e kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻi ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa, ke ʻi ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa.”
8 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
9 Izandla zikaZerubhabheli zibekile isisekelo salindlu; futhi izandla zakhe zizayiqeda. Njalo uzakwazi ukuthi iNkosi yamabandla ingithumile kini.
“Kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻe he nima ʻo Selupepeli; pea ʻe fakaʻosi ia foki ʻe hono nima ʻoʻona, pea te mou ʻilo kuo fekau mai au ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.”
10 Ngoba ngubani odelele usuku lwezinto ezincinyane? Ngoba bazathokoza, babone ilitshe lomthofu esandleni sikaZerubhabheli lalawo ayisikhombisa; angamehlo eNkosi, agijima aye le lale emhlabeni wonke.
He ko hai kuo ne manuki ki he ʻaho ʻoe meʻa siʻi? He te nau fiefia, mo mamata ki he fua fakatonutonu ʻi he nima ʻo Selupepeli. Pea ko e toko fitu na ko e foʻi fofonga ia ʻe fitu ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
11 Ngasengiphendula ngathi kuyo: Ziyini lezizihlahla zomhlwathi ezimbili ngakwesokunene soluthi lwesibane langakwesokhohlo kwalo?
Pea naʻaku pehēange ai ʻeau kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae ongo ʻakau ʻolive, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he toʻomataʻu ʻoe tuʻunga maama, pea mo hono toʻohema ʻo ia?”
12 Ngasengiphendula ngokwesibili, ngathi kuyo: Ziyini lezizingatsha ezimbili zezihlahla zomhlwathi ezithi ngempompi ezimbili zegolide zithulule igolide liphume kizo?
Pea naʻaku toe pehēange ki ai, “Ko e hā ʻae ongo vaʻa ʻolive ʻena, ʻaia ʻoku lilingi atu mei ai ʻae lolo, ʻi hono tafeʻanga koula ʻe ua?”
13 Yasikhuluma lami isithi: Kawazi yini ukuthi lezi ziyini? Ngathi: Hatshi, nkosi yami.
Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae ngaahi meʻa na?” Pea ne u pehē, “ʻA hoku ʻeiki ʻoku ʻikai.”
14 Yasisithi: Laba bangabagcotshiweyo ababili abema ngaseNkosini yomhlaba wonke.
Pea ne toki pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko e toko ua ʻena kuo pani pea ʻoku na tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē.”
