2 1Ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lwamashumi amabini ananye, lafika ilizwi likaBawo wethu ngomlomo kaHagayi umprofeti, lisithi:
2“Thetha ngoku kuZerubhabheli unyana kaSalatiyeli, irhuluneli yakwaYuda, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaYehotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, nakubo bonke abaseleyo babantu, uthi: 3Ngubani na phakathi kwenu oseleyo? Ngubani na apha owayibonayo le ndlu ebuqaqawulini bayo bangaphambili? Ibonakala njani na ngoku kuni? Ayibonakali njengento engento na emehlweni enu?’ 4Noko ke yomelela ngoku, Zerubhabheli, utsho uBawo; yomelela, Yoshuwa nyana kaYehotsadaki, mbingeleli omkhulu; yomelelani nani nonke bantu belizwe, utsho uBawo, nisebenze, kuba ndinani, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini. 5Njengoko ndathembisayo ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa, uMoya wam uhleli phakathi kwenu; musani ukoyika. 6Utsho ngolu hlobo uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini: Kwakhona, kungekudala nje, ndiya kuwanyikimisa amazulu, nehlabathi, nolwandle, nomhlaba owomileyo. 7Ndiya kuzinyikimisa zonke iintlanga, ize kufike oko kunqwenelwa ngaphezu kwako konke ziintlanga zonke, ndiyizalise le ndlu bubuqaqawuli, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini. 8Isilivere yeyam negolide yeyam, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini. 9Ubuqaqawuli bokugqibela bale ndlu buya kudlula obokuqala, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini; kule ndawo ndiya kunika uxolo, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini.” a a v9 Idinga likaBawo lokuba ubuqaqawuli betempile yesibini buya kudlula obukaSolomon lazaliseka xa uYesu wayehamba kule tempile kanye — ubuqaqawuli obayizalisayo indlu yayinguNyana ngokwakhe, ukubengezela kobuqaqawuli bukaBawo (Hebhere 1:3).
Ukudyobheka Nemini Entsha
10Ngosuku lwamashumi amabini anesine lwenyanga yesithoba, ngomnyaka wesibini kaDariyo, lafika ilizwi likaBawo wethu kuHagayi umprofeti, lisithi:
11Utsho ngolu hlobo uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini: Buza kubabingeleli ngesigwebo, uthi: 12Ukuba indoda ithwele inyama engcwele engutyeni yayo, yachukumisa ngayo isonka, nokudla okungqombela, newayini, neoli, nokuba yintoni na into yokudla, ngaba kuya kuba ngcwele na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi: Hayi.
13Wabuza uHagayi wathi: Ukuba umntu oyinqambi ngenxa yesidumbu uchukumisa nantoni na kwezi, ngaba iya kuba yinqambi na? Ewe, iba yinqambi, baphendula ababingeleli.
14Wandula ukuthi uHagayi: Kunjalo nakubantu aba nakwesi sizwe phambi kwam, utsho uBawo; kunjalo nakuko konke abakwenzayo, nento abayinikelayo apho iyinqambi. 15“Ngoku khanicinge kakuhle kususela kule mini kuye phambili: ngaphambi kokuba kubekwe ilitye phezu kwelitye etempileni kaBawo wethu. 16Naniphila njani na? Lowo weza kwimfumba yengqolowa yamashumi amabini, wafika kukho elishumi; weza esixovuxovwini sewayini ukukha amashumi amahlanu, wafika kukho amashumi amabini. 17Ndanibetha nani nomsebenzi wenu wonke ngembabala, nexoshomba, nesichotho, kodwa anabuyela kum, utsho uBawo. 18Khanicinge kakuhle kususela kule mini kuye phambili — ukususela ngosuku lwamashumi amabini anesine lwenyanga yesithoba, umhla owabekwa ngawo isiseko setempile kaBawo wethu — khanicinge kakuhle: 19Isekho na imbewu evimbeni? Umdiliya, nomkhiwane, nerharnate, nomnquma awukaveliswa ziqhamo. Kodwa kususela kule mini ndiya kunisikelela.”
Ilizwi Lesibini kuZerubhabheli
20Lafika ilizwi likaBawo wethu kuHagayi okwesibini ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesine wenyanga, lisithi:
21“Thetha kuZerubhabheli, irhuluneli yakwaYuda, uthi: Ndiza kuwanyikimisa amazulu nehlabathi. 22Ndiya kuzibhukuqa izitrone zezikumkani, ndiwatshabalalise amandla ezikumkani zeentlanga. Ndiya kuzibhukuqa iinqwelo nabakhweli bazo; amahashe nabakhweli bawo aya kuwa, elowo ngekrele lomnakwabo.’ 23Ngaloo mini, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, ndiya kukuthabatha, Zerubhabheli nyana kaSalatiyeli, mkhonzi wam, utsho uBawo, ndikwenze ube njengomsesane wokutywina, kuba ndikunyule wena, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini.” b b v23 Uyisemkhulu kaZerubhabheli uYehoyakin wachithwa njengomsesane wokutywina (Yeremiya 22:24); apha uBawo uyawubuyisela umsesane kuZerubhabheli, egcina umnombo kaDavide odlula ngaye use kuYesu, uNyana kaDavide oyinyaniso (Mateyu 1:12-13).
