1:1 Ngomnyaka wesibini kaDariyo ukumkani, ngenyanga yesithandathu, ngosuku lokuqala enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, kuZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, lisithi,
1:2 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Aba bantu bathi, Asikabi lixesha lokuba kuziwe, asikabi lixesha lokuba yakhiwe indlu kaYehova.
1:3 Kwafika ke ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
1:4 Lixesha na kuni nina, lokuba nihlale ezindlwini zenu zalekiwe, ibe le ndlu yam yona ilinxuwa?
1:5 Kaloku ke, utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Zigqaleni iindlela zenu.
1:6 Nahlwayela kakhulu, ningenise kancinane; niyadla, ningahluthi; nisela, ninganeli kukusela; nambatha, ningevi ntsitho; noziqeshisayo uziqeshisela ukuba agalele engxoweni enezikroba.
1:7 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Iindlela zenu zigqaleni.
1:8 Nyukani niye kweleentaba, nize nemithi, niyakhe indlu le; ndokholiswa ke yiyo, ndizizukise; utsho uYehova.
1:9 Nalindela into eninzi, nantso isuke yaba yinto encinane; nithe nakuza nayo ekhaya, ndayiphephetha. Ngani ke? utsho uYehova wemikhosi; ngenxa yendlu yam, yona le ilinxuwa, nibe nina elowo ebalekela endlwini yakhe.
1:10 Ngenxa yoko, ngenxa yenu, izulu liyala nombethe, nomhlaba wala neendyebo zawo.
1:11 Ndabiza ukoma phezu kwelizwe, naphezu kweentaba, naphezu kwengqolowa, naphezu kwewayini entsha, naphezu kweoli, naphezu kwezinto zonke eziphuma emhlabeni, naphezu kwabantu, naphezu kweenkomo, naphezu kokuxelenga konke kwezandla.
1:12 Baliphulaphula ke ooZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, noYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, namasalela onke abantu, ilizwi likaYehova uThixo wabo, ngokwamazwi kaHagayi umprofeti, njengoko wayemthumile uYehova uThixo wabo; boyika abantu ebusweni bukaYehova.
1:13 Wakuthetha uHagayi umthunywa kaYehova ukuthunywa kwakhe nguYehova ebantwini, wathi, Ndinani, utsho uYehova.
1:14 UYehova wawuvuselela umoya kaZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nomoya kaYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, nomoya wamasalela onke abantu. Beza ke, bawenza umsebenzi endlwini kaYehova wemikhosi, uThixo wabo,
1:15 ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwenyanga yesithandathu, ngomnyaka wesibini kakumkani uDariyo.
2:1 Ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lwamashumi amabini analunye enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
2:2 Khawuthethe kuZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, nakumasalela abantu, uthi,
2:3 Ngubani na kuni apha oseleyo, owayibonayo le ndlu isesebuqaqawulini bayo bokuqala? Niyibona iyintoni na ke ngoku? Ayinjengento engento na emehlweni enu?
2:4 Noko ke ngoku yomelela, Zerubhabheli, utsho uYehova; womelele, Yoshuwa nyana kaYotsadaki, mbingeleli mkhulu; nomelele, nonke bantu belizwe, utsho uYehova, nisebenze; ngokuba ndinani, utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:5 Ilizwi elo, ndanqophisana nani ngalo ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa, ndisaligcinile, noMoya wam umi phakathi kwenu; musani ukoyika.
2:6 Ngokuba uYehova wemikhosi utsho ukuthi, Kusaya kuba kanye, umzuzwana ke, ndinyikimise izulu, nehlabathi, nolwandle, nomhlaba owomileyo;
2:7 ndizinyikimise zonke iintlanga, zifike izinto ezinqwenelekayo zeentlanga zonke, ndiyizalise le ndlu ngobuqaqawuli; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:8 Isilivere yeyam, igolide yeyam; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:9 Buya kuba bukhulu ubuqaqawuli bamva bale ndlu, ngaphezu kobokuqala, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; kuyo ke le ndawo ndiya kunika uxolo; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:10 Ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwenyanga yesithoba, ngomnyaka wesibini kaDariyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
2:11 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Khawubuze umyalelo kubabingeleli, uthi,
2:12 Yabonani, umntu ephethe inyama engcwele ngesondo lengubo yakhe, afike ngesondo lakhe esonkeni, nasentweni ephekiweyo, nasewayinini, naseolini, nasentweni nokuba yiyiphi edliwayo, yongcwaliseka na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi, Hayi.
2:13 Wathi ke uHagayi, Ukuba uthe wafika oyinqambi ngenxa yomfi, kwezo zinto zonke, zoba ziinqambi na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi, Zoba ziinqambi.
2:14 Waphendula uHagayi wathi, Banjalo ke aba bantu, lunjalo ke olu hlanga ebusweni bam; utsho uYehova; unjalo ke wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, nento abayisondezayo khona apho iyinqambi.
2:15 Kaloku ke khanigqale, nithabathele kule mini, nibhekise emva, kungekabekwa litye lityeni etempileni kaYehova;
2:16 nithabathele kwelo xesha, xa umntu ebefike esitheni esimilinganiso imashumi mabini, asuke afumane libe linye ishumi; xa ebefika emkhumbini wokukhongozela iwayini, eza kukha imilinganiso emashumi mahlanu, asuke afumane amashumi amabini.
2:17 Ndanibetha ngembabala, nangexoshomba, nangesichotho, kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu; noko ke akubangakho namnye kuni ubuyela kum; utsho uYehova.
2:18 Khanigqale, nithabathele kule mini, nibhekise emva, nithabathele kusuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwenyanga yesithoba kususela kuloo mini yokusekwa kwetempile kaYehova; gqalani ke.
2:19 Isekho yinina imbewu eqongeni? Hayi, akuxakathanga nto, kude kwesa kumdiliya, nomkhiwane, nomrharnate, nomnquma. Ndithabathele kule mini, ndiya kusikelela.
2:20 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngokwesibini kuHagayi, ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine enyangeni leyo, lisithi,
2:21 Thetha kuZerubhabheli ibamba lakwaYuda, uthi, Ndiya kulinyikimisa izulu nehlabathi,
2:22 ndiyibhukuqe itrone yezikumkani, ndikutshabalalise ukomelela kwezikumkani zeentlanga; ndizibhukuqe iinqwelo zokulwa nabakhweli bazo, kuwe amahashe nabakhweli bawo; elowo awiswe likrele lowabo.
2:23 Ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ndiya kukuthabatha, Zerubhabheli nyana kaShalatiyeli, mkhonzi wam, utsho uYehova, ndikumise ngokomsesane wokutywina; kuba ndikunyule; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
