< Zekaria 6 >
1 Ndakasimudzazve meso angu ndikaona, hapo pamberi pangu paiva nengoro ina dzaibuda kubva pakati pamakomo maviri, makomo endarira!
Ngaphinde ngaphakamisa amehlo njalo phambi kwami kwakulezinqola zempi ezine ziqhamuka okhalweni lwezintaba ezimbili, izintaba zethusi!
2 Ngoro yokutanga yakanga ine mabhiza matsvuku, yechipiri ine matema,
Inqola yakuqala yayilamabhiza abomvu, eyesibili ilamnyama,
3 yechitatu ine machena uye yechina ine mapfumbu, ose aiva nesimba.
eyesithathu amhlophe, eyesine alamabala, wonke elamandla.
4 Ndakabvunza mutumwa akanga achitaura neni ndikati, “Zviiko izvi, ishe wangu?”
Ngayibuza ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami ngathi, “Kuyini lokhu, nkosi yami?”
5 Mutumwa akandipindura akati, “Iyi ndiyo mweya mina yokudenga, inobuda payakanga imire pamberi paIshe wenyika yose.
Ingilosi yangiphendula yathi, “Le yimimoya emine yasezulwini, ephumayo ekumeni phambi kukaThixo womhlaba wonke.
6 Ine mabhiza matema iri kuenda kunyika yokumusoro, ine mabhiza machena iri kuenda kumadokero, uye ine mabhiza mapfumbu iri kuenda kunyika yezasi.”
Le elamabhiza amnyama iqonda elizweni elisenyakatho, eyawamhlophe iqonda entshonalanga, kuthi eyawamabala iqonda eningizimu.”
7 Mabhiza ane simba paakabuda akanga achitsvaka kuti aende nomunyika yose. Uye iye akati, “Endai munyika yose!” Saka akaenda nomunyika yose.
Kwathi lawomabhiza alamandla esephuma ayesadalala ezama ukuya kuwo wonke umhlaba. Yathi kuwo, “Hambani kuwo wonke umhlaba.” Lakanye aya kuwo wonke umhlaba.
8 Ipapo akadanidzira kwandiri achiti, “Tarira, ayo anoenda kunyika yokumusoro, apa Mweya wangu zororo munyika yokumusoro.”
Yase ingibiza yathi, “Uyabona, lawana aqonda elizweni elisenyakatho asenike uMoya wami ukuphumula elizweni lasenyakatho.”
9 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lathi:
10 “Tora sirivha negoridhe kubva kuvatapwa vanoti Heridhai, naTobhiya uye naJedhaya, vasvika vachibva kuBhabhironi. Enda, zuva rimwe chetero, kuimba yaJosia mwanakomana waZefania.
“Thatha isiliva legolide kwabathunjiweyo uHelidayi loThobhiya loJedaya asebebuyile eBhabhiloni. Hamba ngalelolanga endlini kaJosiya indodana kaZefaniya.
11 Tora sirivha negoridhe ugadzire korona, uye ugoidzika pamusoro womuprista mukuru, Joshua mwanakomana waJehozadhaki.
Thatha isiliva legolide wenze umqhele uwethese umphristi omkhulu uJoshuwa indodana kaJozadaki.
12 Muudze kuti zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: ‘Houno murume anonzi Davi, achakura panzvimbo yake uye achavaka temberi yaJehovha.
Umtshele ukuthi nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: ‘Nansi indoda obizo layo liHlumela, njalo uzahluma endaweni yakhe akhe ithempeli likaThixo.
13 Ndiye achavaka temberi yaJehovha, uye achapfekedzwa ukuru agogara achitonga pachigaro chake. Uye achava muprista pachigaro chake. Uye pachava norugare pakati pezviviri izvi.’
Nguye ozakwakha ithempeli likaThixo, njalo uzagqokiswa ubukhosi, futhi uzahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi. Njalo uzakuba ngumphristi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi. Lokhu kokubili kuzahambelana kuhle.’
14 Korona ichapiwa kuna Heridhai, naTobhiya, naJedhaya uye naHeni mwanakomana waZefania sechiyeuchidzo mutemberi yaJehovha.
Umqhele uzaphiwa uHelidayi, loThobhiya, loJedaya kanye loHeni indodana kaZefaniya njengesikhumbuzo ethempelini likaThixo.
15 Avo vari kure vachauya kuzobatsira kuvaka temberi yaJehovha, uye iwe uchaziva kuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose andituma kwauri. Izvi zvichaitika kana ukateerera zvakanaka Jehovha Mwari wako.”
Labo abasekudeni bazakuza bazakwelekelela ukwakha ithempeli likaThixo njalo lizakwazi ukuthi uthixo uSomandla ungithumile kini. Lokhu kuzakwenzeka nxa limlalela ngokukhuthala uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
