1 Bara Daariyoos keessa, jiʼa saddeettaffaa waggaa lammaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Zakkaariyaas raajicha ilma Berekiyaa, ilma Iddoo dhufe:
Ngenyanga yesificaminwembili, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi kuZekhariya, indodana kaBerekiya, indodana kaIdo umprofethi, lisithi:
2 “Waaqayyo akka malee abbootii keessanitti aaree ture.
INkosi yabathukuthelela oyihlo ngentukuthelo.
3 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.
Ngakho wothi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Phendukelani kimi, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lami ngizaphendukela kini, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
4 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.
Lingabi njengaboyihlo, abaprofethi bakuqala abamemeza kubo, besithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ake liphenduke ezindleleni zenu ezimbi lezenzweni zenu ezimbi; kodwa kabezwanga, kabangilalelanga, itsho iNkosi.
5 Abbootiin keessan amma eessa jiru? Raajonnis bara baraan jiraatuu?
Oyihlo, bangaphi? Labaprofethi, baphila laphakade yini?
6 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.”
Kodwa amazwi ami lezimiso zami, engakulaya izinceku zami abaprofethi, kakubaficanga oyihlo yini? Basebephenduka bathi: Njengalokhu iNkosi yamabandla yayinakana ukukukwenza kithi, njengokwezindlela zethu lanjengokwezenzo zethu, ngokunjalo yenze kithi.
7 Bara Daariyoos keessa, waggaa lammaffaatti, bultii afuraffaa jiʼa kudha tokkoffaa, jiʼa Shebaaxi jedhamu keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara Zakkaariyaas raajichaa ilma Berekiyaa, ilma Iddoo dhufe.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yetshumi lanye, okuyinyanga uShebati, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi, lafika ilizwi leNkosi kuZekhariya, indodana kaBerekiya, indodana kaIdo umprofethi, lisithi:
8 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.
Ngabona ebusuku, khangela-ke umuntu owayegade ibhiza elibomvu, njalo wayemi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli eziseliweni, lemva kwakhe kwakulamabhiza abomvu, alibhidi, lamhlophe.
9 Anis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, wantoonni kunneen maali!” jedheen gaafadhe. Ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa tures, “Isaan maal akka taʼan ani sin argisiisa” naan jedhe.
Ngasengisithi: Bayini laba, nkosi yami? Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yasisithi kimi: Mina ngizakutshengisa ukuthi laba bayini.
10 Kana irratti namichi mukkeen kusaayee gidduu dhaabatee jiru sun, “Kunneen warra akka isaan guutummaa lafaa keessa deemaniif Waaqayyo ergee dha” jedhee naa ibse.
Umuntu owayemi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli wasephendula wathi: Laba yibo iNkosi ebathumileyo ukuhamba besiya le lale emhlabeni.
11 Isaanis, “Nu lafa guutuu irra naannofnee akka lafti guutuun boqonnaa fi nagaa qabdu argine” jedhanii ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan mukkeen kusaayee gidduu dhaabate sanatti himan.
Basebephendula ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli, bathi: Sihambile, saya le lale emhlabeni, khangela-ke, wonke umhlaba uhlezi uthule.
12 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos, “Yaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, ati Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen waggoota torbaatama itti aarteef hamma yoomiitti hin araaramtu?” jedhe.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasiphendula yathi: Nkosi yamabandla, koze kube nini wena ungabi lesihawu phezu kweJerusalema laphezu kwemizi yakoJuda, osuyithukuthelele okweminyaka le engamatshumi ayisikhombisa?
13 Waaqayyos dubbii gaarii fi dubbii jajjabeessuun ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan na wajjin dubbachaa ture sanatti dubbate.
INkosi yasiphendula ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami ngamazwi amahle, amazwi aduduzayo.
14 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;
Ngakho ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yathi kimi: Memeza, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngilobukhwele ngeJerusalema langeZiyoni ngobukhwele obukhulu.
15 ani garuu saboota waan nagaa qaban of seʼanitti akka malee aareera. Ani xinnuma aareen ture; isaan garuu ittuma fufanii hamaa hojjetan.’
Njalo ngiyathukuthela ngentukuthelo enkulu ngezizwe ezonwabileyo; ngoba mina ngizondile kancinyane, kodwa zona zancedisa ngasebubini.
16 “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.
Ngalokho, itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngibuyele eJerusalema ngilezihawu; indlu yami izakwakhiwa kuyo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lentambo yokulinganisa izakwelulwa phezu kweJerusalema.
17 “Ammas ittuma fufiitii Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha, jedhii labsi: ‘Magaalaawwan koo deebiʼanii badhaadhummaadhaan ni guutamu; Waaqayyos Xiyoonin ni jajjabeessa; Yerusaalemis ni filata.’”
Phinda umemeze, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Imizi yami isezasatshalaliswa ngokuhle; njalo iNkosi isezaduduza iZiyoni, isezayikhetha iJerusalema.
18 Ammas ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo, fuula koo dura gaanfa afurtu ture!
Ngasengiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona, khangela-ke, impondo ezine.
19 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.
Ngasengisithi kuyo ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami: Kuyini lokhu? Yasisithi kimi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, uIsrayeli, leJerusalema.
20 Waaqayyos ergasii ogeeyyii hojii harkaa afur na argisiise.
INkosi yasingitshengisa ingcitshi ezine.
21 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.”
Ngasengisithi: Lezi zizekwenzani? Yasikhuluma isithi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, kwaze kwangabi lomuntu ophakamisa ikhanda lakhe; kodwa lezi zize ukuzethusa, ukulahla izimpondo zabezizwe, ezaphakamisa uphondo lumelene lelizwe lakoJuda ukulihlakaza.
