UZekhariya 7
1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesine kaDariyusi inkosi, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuZekhariya ngolwesine lwenyanga yesificamunwemunye, kuKisilevi.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono fā taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Talaiasi, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sakalaia, ʻi hono fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono hiva ʻoe māhina ko Kisilu.
2 Sebethume endlini kaNkulunkulu oSharezeri loRegem-Meleki lamadoda akhe, ukuyacela ubuso beNkosi,
Ka kuo nau fekau ʻa Selesa, mo Likemeleki, mo ʻena kau tangata, ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ke nau lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova,
3 ukukhuluma kubapristi ababesendlini yeNkosi yamabandla, lakubaprofethi, besithi: Ngikhale inyembezi yini ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngokuzehlukanisa, njengoba ngenzile okweminyaka le engaka?
Pea ke lea ki he kau taulaʻeiki, naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea ki he kau palōfita, ʻo pehē, “He te u tangi ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, mo vaheʻi au, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi ni?”
4 Laselifika kimi ilizwi leNkosi yamabandla, lisithi:
Hili ia naʻe hoko mai kiate au, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē,
5 Khuluma ebantwini bonke belizwe, lakubapristi, usithi: Lapho lazila ukudla lalila ngenyanga yesihlanu leyesikhombisa, ngitsho leyominyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa, lazila lokuzila kimi, ngitsho kimi yini?
“Lea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, He kuo mou fai ʻa hoʻomou ʻaukai, mo hoʻomou tangi mamahi, ʻi hono nima pea mo hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he taʻu ko eni ʻe fitungofulu, ʻio, ko hoʻomou ʻaukai na naʻe momoʻi fai ia kiate au?
6 Lalapho lisidla, lalapho linatha, bekungayisini yini elidlayo, lina-ke elinathayo?
Ko hoʻomou kai, pea mo hoʻomou inu, ʻikai naʻa mou kai mo inu maʻamoutolu pe?”
7 Kakusiwo amazwi iNkosi eyawamemeza ngesandla sabaprofethi bokuqala yini, lapho iJerusalema yahlalwa iphumelela, lemizi yayo inhlangothi zonke zayo, lapho ihlalwa iningizimu legceke?
ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ʻa hoʻomou fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne fakahā ʻi he kau palōfita ʻi muʻa, ʻi heʻene kei kakai, mo kei monūʻia ʻa Selūsalema, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia, ʻi he kuonga naʻe kei kakai ʻae potu tonga, pea mo e potu tokalelei?
8 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuZekhariya, lisithi:
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sakalaia, ʻo pehē,
9 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, isithi: Yahlulelani isahlulelo esiqotho, lenze umusa lezihawu, ngulowo lalowo kumfowabo.
“ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē, ‘Fai ke totonu ʻae fakamaau, pea feʻofaʻaki mo manavaʻofa ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kāinga:
10 Lingacindezeli umfelokazi, lentandane, owemzini, lomyanga; linganakani okubi enhliziyweni yenu ngulowo emelene lomfowabo.
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakamālohiʻi ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti, pe ko e tamai mate, pe ko e muli, pe ko e masiva; pea ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha te ne fai fakakākā ʻi hono loto ki hono kāinga.’
11 Kodwa bala ukulalela, banika ihlombe elenkani, benza indlebe zabo zaba nzima, ukuze bangezwa.
Ka naʻa nau talangataʻa ke fanongo, mo nau hamusi mai honau uma, pea naʻa nau fakaongotuli honau telinga, ke ʻoua naʻa nau ongoʻi.
12 Yebo, benza inhliziyo yabo yaba njengelitshe elilukhuni, ukuze bangawuzwa umlayo, lamazwi iNkosi yamabandla eyayiwathumeze ngomoya wayo ngesandla sabaprofethi bokuqala. Ngakho kwaba khona intukuthelo enkulu ivela eNkosini yamabandla.
ʻIo, naʻa nau ngaohi honau loto ke hangē ko e maka fefeka ʻaupito, telia naʻa nau ongoʻi ʻae fono, mo e ngaahi lea kuo fai mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi hono laumālie, ʻi he kau palōfita naʻe ʻi muʻa, pea ko ia kuo hoko ai ʻae houhau lahi meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
13 Ngakho sekwenzakele, njengoba yamemeza, kabaze bezwa; ngokunjalo bamemeza, kangaze ngezwa, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Ko ia kuo hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene kalanga naʻe ʻikai te nau fie fanongo; pea ko ia, kuo nau kalanga, ka naʻe ʻikai te u fanongo,” ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
14 Kodwa ngabahlakaza ngesivunguzane phakathi kwezizwe zonke ababengazazi. Ngakho ilizwe lachithakala emva kwabo, ukuze kungabi khona odlulayo lophendukayo; ngoba benza ilizwe eliloyisekayo laba yincithakalo.
“Ka kuo u vilingiaʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻahiohio ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi. Ko ia naʻe hili ange ia kuo lala ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai kei feʻaluʻaki ai ha tangata: he naʻa nau ʻai ke lala ʻaupito ʻae fonua matamatalelei.”
