1 Ipapo mutumwa akataura neni akauyazve kwandiri akandimutsa, somunhu anomutswa pahope dzake.

Kenaka mngelo amene amayankhula nane anabwerera nandidzutsa, ngati mmene amadzutsira munthu amene ali mʼtulo.

2 Akandibvunza achiti, “Unooneiko?” Ndakapindura ndikati, “Ndinoona chigadziko chomwenje chegoridhe rizere, chine mbiya pamusoro pacho nemwenje minomwe pamusoro pacho, mwenje mumwe nomumwe une mbombi nomwe.

Anandifunsa kuti, “Kodi ukuona chiyani?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ine ndikuona choyikapo nyale, chonse chagolide ndi mbale pamwamba pake ndi nyale zoyaka zisanu ndi ziwiri, iliyonse ili ndi zibowo zisanu ndi ziwiri zolowetsera zingwe zoyatsira.

3 Uyezve pane miti miviri yemiorivhi parutivi pacho, mumwe kurutivi rworudyi rwembiya nomumwe kurutivi rworuboshwe kwayo.”

Ndiponso pambali pake pali mitengo ya olivi iwiri, umodzi uli kumanja kwa mbaleyo ndipo winawo kumanzere.”

4 Ndakabvunza mutumwa aitaura ndichiti, “Izvi zviiko, ishe wangu?”

Ndinamufunsa mngelo amene amayankhula nane kuti, “Kodi zimenezi nʼchiyani mbuye wanga?”

5 Akapindura akati, “Hauzivi kuti izvi zvii?” Ini ndakapindura ndichiti, “Kwete, ishe wangu.”

Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Kodi iwe sukuzidziwa zimenezi?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ayi mbuye wanga.”

6 Saka akati kwandiri, “Iri ndiro shoko raJehovha kuna Zerubhabheri: ‘Hazviitwi nehondo kana nesimba, asi nomweya wangu,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.

Choncho iye anandiwuza kuti, “Mawu a Yehova kwa Zerubabeli ndi awa: ‘Osati mwa nkhondo kapena ndi mphamvu, koma ndi Mzimu wanga,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.

7 “Uri chiiko, iwe gomo guru? Pamberi paZerubhabheri uchaitwa bani. Ipapo iye achabudisa ibwe rokumusoro vanhu vachidanidzira vachiti, ‘Mwari ngaariropafadze! Mwari ngaariropafadze!’”

“Kodi ndiwe yani, iwe phiri lamphamvu? Pamaso pa Zerubabeli udzasanduka dziko losalala. Pamenepo adzabweretsa mwala wotsiriza. Akamadzawuyika pamwamba anthu adzafuwula kuti, ‘Mulungu adalitse Nyumbayi! Mulungu adalitse Nyumbayi!’”

8 Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

Ndipo Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,

9 “Maoko aZerubhabheri akateya nheyo dzetemberi ino; maoko ake achaipedzisazve. Ipapo uchaziva kuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose akandituma kwauri.

“Manja a Zerubabeli ndiwo ayika maziko a Nyumbayi; adzatsiriza ndi manja ake omwewo. Pamenepo iwe udzadziwa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye anakutuma.

10 “Ndiani anoshora zuva rezvinhu zviduku? Vanhu vachafara pavachaona rwodzi rwokuyera muruoko rwaZerubhabheri. “(Zvinomwe izvi ndizvo maziso aJehovha, anoona nyika yose.)”

“Ndani wanyoza tsiku la zinthu zazingʼono? Anthu adzasangalala akadzaona chingwe choyezera mʼmanja mwa Zerubabeli. (“Nyale zisanu ndi ziwirizi ndi maso a Yehova, amene amayangʼanayangʼana pa dziko lapansi.”)

11 Ipapo ndakabvunza mutumwa ndichiti, “Ko, miti yemiorivhi miviri iyi iri kurudyi nokuruboshwe kwechigadziko chomwenje ndeyei?”

Kenaka ndinafunsa mngelo uja kuti, “Kodi mitengo ya olivi iwiri ili kumanja ndi kumanzere kwa choyikapo nyalechi ikutanthauza chiyani?”

12 Uyezve ndakamubvunza kuti, “Ko, matavi aya maviri omuorivhi parutivi pembombi mbiri dzegoridhe dzinodurura mafuta egoridhe ndeei?”

Ndinamufunsanso kuti, “Kodi nthambi ziwiri za mtengo wa olivi zomwe zili pambali pa mipopi yodzera mafuta iwiri yagolide zikutanthauza chiyani?”

13 Akapindura akati, “Hauzivi kuti izvi zvii?” Ini ndikati, “Kwete, ishe wangu.”

Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Kodi iwe sukuzidziwa zimenezi?” Ine ndinati, “Ayi mbuye wanga.”

14 Saka akati, “Ava ndivo vaviri vakazodzwa kuti vashumire Ishe wenyika yose.”

Choncho iye anati, “Amenewa ndi anthu awiri amene adzozedwa kuti atumikire Ambuye pa dziko lonse lapansi.”
