UZekhariya 8
1 Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi yamabandla lisithi:
Dubbiin Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu ammas gara koo dhufe.
2 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngilobukhwele ngeZiyoni ngobukhwele obukhulu, yebo, ngilobukhwele ngayo ngokuvutha okukhulu.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani Xiyooniif hinaaffaa guddaa qaba; hinaaffaa isheetiin guggubachaan jira.”
3 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngibuyele eZiyoni, njalo ngizahlala phakathi kweJerusalema; njalo iJerusalema izakuthiwa ngumuzi weqiniso, lentaba yeNkosi yamabandla, intaba engcwele.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani Xiyoonitti deebiʼee Yerusaalem keessa nan jiraadha. Yerusaalemis Magaalaa Dhugaa jedhamti; tulluun Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuus Tulluu Qulqulluu jedhamee ni waamama.”
4 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusezakuhlala amaxhegu lezalukazi ezitaladeni zeJerusalema, ngulowo lalowo elodondolo esandleni sakhe ngenxa yobunengi bezinsuku.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ammas yeroo tokko jaarsolii fi jaartoliin daandii Yerusaalem irra ni tataaʼu; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii sababii dulluma isaaniitiif ulee harkatti qabatu.
5 Lezitalada zomuzi zizagcwala abafana lamankazana bedlala ezitaladeni zawo.
Daandiin magaalattii ijoollee dhiiraa fi durbaa kanneen achi taphataniin ni guutama.”
6 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Uba kumangalisa emehlweni ensali yalababantu ngalezozinsuku, kungamangalisa lemehlweni ami yini? itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yeroo sanatti wanni kun hambaa saba kanaatiif dinqii taʼu dandaʼa; anaaf garuu kun dinqii taʼuu dandaʼaa?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
7 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Khangela, ngizasindisa abantu bami elizweni lempumalanga, lelizweni lokutshona kwelanga;
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani biyyoota baʼa biiftuutii fi lixa biiftuu keessaa saba koo nan baasa.
8 ngibalethe, bahlale phakathi kweJerusalema; njalo bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, ngeqiniso langokulunga.
Ani akka isaan Yerusaalem keessa jiraataniif isaan nan deebisa; isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis dhugaa fi qajeelummaadhaan Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.”
9 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Izandla zenu kaziqine, lina elizwayo ngalezinsuku amazwi la ngomlomo wabaprofethi, ababekhona mhla isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi yamabandla sibekwa, ukuze ithempeli lakhiwe.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Isin warri amma dubbii raajonni yeroo hundeen mana Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu buufametti achi turan dubbatan kana dhageessan, akka manni qulqullummaa ijaaramuuf irreen keessan haa jabaatu.
10 Ngoba ngaphambi kwalezonsuku kwakungelaholo lomuntu, kwakungekho iholo lenyamazana; futhi kungekho ukuthula kulowo owayephuma kumbe owayengena ngenxa yenhlupheko; ngoba ngathuma wonke umuntu ngulowo emelene lomakhelwane wakhe.
Yeroo sanaan dura mindaan tokko iyyuu namaaf yookaan horiif hin baafamu turre. Namni tokko iyyuu sababii diina isaatiif nagaadhaan hojii isaatiif baʼee hin galu ture; ani nama hunda walitti kaaseen tureetii.
11 Kodwa khathesi kangiyikuba kunsali yalababantu njengensukwini zakuqala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Garuu ani amma akkan duraan hojjedhe sana hambaa saba kanaatti hin hojjedhu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
12 Ngoba inhlanyelo izaphumelela, ivini lithele izithelo zalo, lomhlabathi uphe isivuno sawo, lamazulu aphe amazolo awo; njalo ngizakwenza insali yalababantu ukuthi idle ilifa lazo zonke lezizinto.
“Sanyiin akka gaarii biqila; mukni wayiniis ija naqata; lafti midhaan kenniti; samiiwwanis fixeensa isaanii coccobsu. Ani waan kana hunda dhaala godhee hambaa saba kanaatiif nan kenna.
13 Kuzakuthi-ke njengoba laliyisiqalekiso phakathi kwabezizwe, wena ndlu kaJuda, lawe ndlu kaIsrayeli, ngokunjalo ngizalisindisa, libe yisibusiso. Lingesabi, izandla zenu kaziqine.
Yaa Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel akkuma isin saboota gidduutti waan abaarsaa turtan sana, ani isin baasee akka isin eebba taatan nan godha. Harki keessan haa jabaatuu malee hin sodaatinaa.”
14 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Njengoba nganginakane ukwenza okubi kini, lapho oyihlo bengithukuthelisa, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo kangizisolanga;
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani akkuma gaafa abbootiin keessan na aarsanitti balaa isinitti fiduu yaadee isinii naʼuu dide sana” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu;
15 ngokunjalo ngibuye ngacabanga kulezinsuku ukwenza okuhle kuyo iJerusalema lakuyo indlu kaJuda; lingesabi.
“Kanaafuu ani amma Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaaf waan gaarii hojjechuu murteesseera. Isin hin sodaatinaa.
16 Lezi yizinto elizazenza: Khulumani iqiniso, ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe; yehlulelani iqiniso lesahlulelo sokuthula emasangweni enu.
Wanni isin gochuu qabdan kana: Dhugaa walitti dubbadhaa; karra keessan duratti murtii dhugaa fi nagaa kennaa;
17 Lingacabangi ububi enhliziyweni yenu ngulowo lalowo emelene lomakhelwane; lingathandi isifungo samanga; ngoba zonke lezizinto yilezo engizizondayo, itsho iNkosi.
ollaa keessanitti waan hamaa hin malinaa; sobaan kakachuu illee hin jaalatinaa. Ani waan kana hunda nan jibbaa” jedha Waaqayyo.
18 Ilizwi leNkosi yamabandla laselifika kimi, lisithi:
Ammas dubbiin Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu gara koo dhufe.
19 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ukuzila ukudla kwenyanga yesine, lokuzila ukudla kweyesihlanu, lokuzila ukudla kweyesikhombisa, lokuzila ukudla kweyetshumi, kuzakuba yintokozo, lokuthaba, lezikhathi ezimisiweyo zezinjabulo kuyo indlu yakoJuda. Ngakho thandani iqiniso lokuthula.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Soomni jiʼa afuraffaa, shanaffaa, torbaffaa fi kurnaffaa Yihuudaaf yeroo gammachuu fi ililchuu, akkasumas yeroo ayyaana gammachuu taʼa. Kanaafuu dhugaa fi nagaa jaalladhaa.”
20 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusezakwenzeka ukuthi kufike abantu labahlali bemizi eminengi.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Uummanni hedduunii fi jiraattonni magaalaa hedduun ammas ni dhufu;
21 Labahlali bomunye umuzi bazakuya komunye, besithi: Kasihambeni ngokuphangisa ukuyancenga phambi kweNkosi, lokudinga iNkosi yamabandla; lami ngizahamba.
jiraattonni magaalaa tokkoo gara magaalaa biraa dhaqanii, ‘Kottaa mee Waaqayyo kadhachuu fi Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu barbaadachuuf dafnee haa deemnu. Ani mataan koo iyyuu nan deema’ jedhu.
22 Yebo, kuzakuza abantu abanengi lezizwe ezilamandla ukuzadinga iNkosi yamabandla eJerusalema, lokuncenga phambi kweNkosi.
Uummanni baayʼeenii fi saboonni humna qabeeyyiin Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu barbaadachuu fi isa kadhachuuf gara Yerusaalem ni dhufu.”
23 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngalezonsuku kuzakuthi abambe amadoda alitshumi ezindimini zonke zezizwe, yebo abambe umphetho wesembatho somuntu ongumJuda, athi: Sizahamba lani; ngoba sizwile ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulani.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Bara sana keessa afaanii fi saba hunda keessaa namoonni kudhan dhufanii handaara wandaboo namicha Yihuudii tokkoo qabatanii, ‘Nu akka Waaqni isin wajjin jiru waan dhageenyeef, si wajjin haa deemnu’ jedhuun.”
