Ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yesishiyagalolunye, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu, izwi likaJehova lafika ngoHagayi umprofethi, lathi:
Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Buza manje kubapristi ngomthetho, uthi:
Uma umuntu ephethe inyama engcwele esiqeshini sengubo yakhe, athinte isinkwa noma okuphuzwayo noma iwayini noma amafutha nanoma iyiphi enye inyama, ingabe kufanele kube ngcwele? Abapristi baphendula bathi: Hatshi.
Wayesethi uHagayi: “Uma ongcoliswe isidumbu ethinta enye yalezi zinto, iyakungcoliswa na?” Abapristi basebephendula bathi: Kuzakuba ngokungcolileyo.
Wayesephendula uHagayi, wathi: “Kunjalo ngalaba bantu, kanjalo lesi sizwe siphambi kwami,” usho uJehova; unjalo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo; nabanikela ngakho lapho kungcolile.
Manje qaphelani kusukela kulolu suku kuqhubeke, ngaphambi kokuba kubekwe itshe phezu kwetshe ethempelini likaJehova.
Kusukela kulezo zinsuku lapho umuntu efika enqwabeni yezilinganiso ezingamashumi amabili, kwakukhona eziyishumi kuphela; lapho kufika amanoni esikhamo ukuba akhiphe izitsha ezingamashumi ayisihlanu emshinini, zazingamashumi amabili kuphela.
Nganishaya ngamabele ahandlekayo, nangamazolo, nangesichotho, kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu; nokho aniphendukela kimi,” usho uJehova.
Manje qaphelani, kusukela kulolu suku kuya phambili, kusukela osukwini lwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yesishiyagalolunye, yebo, kusukela osukwini okwabekwa ngalo isisekelo sethempeli likaJehova, qaphelani.
Imbewu isekhona yini esiphaleni na? yebo, umvini, nomkhiwane, nomhalananda, nomnqumo, akukatheli; kusukela namuhla ngizokubusisa.
