UZakariya 8
UJehova uyokhulula abantu bakhe ezweni lasempumalanga nasezweni lasentshonalanga
1Izwi likaJehova Sebawoti labuye lafika kimi, lathi:
2Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Nganginomona ngeSiyoni ngokushisekela okukhulu, ngaba nomhawu ngalo ngokufutheka okukhulu.
3Usho kanje uJehova; Ngibuyele eSiyoni, ngiyohlala phakathi kweJerusalema, neJerusalema liyakuthiwa umuzi weqiniso; nentaba kaJehova Sebawoti, intaba engcwele.
4Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Kusayakuba khona amaxhegu nezalukazi ezitaladini zaseJerusalema, kube yilowo nalowo nodondolo lwakhe esandleni sakhe iminyaka eminingi.
5Izitaladi zomuzi ziyakugcwala abafana namantombazane bedlala ezitaladini zawo.
6Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Uma kuyisimangaliso emehlweni ensali yalaba bantu ngalezi zinsuku, kuyakumangalisa nasemehlweni ami na? usho uJehova Sebawoti.
7Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakubakhulula abantu bami ezweni lasempumalanga nasezweni lasentshonalanga;
8Ngiyakubaletha, bahlale phakathi kweJerusalema; futhi bayoba abantu bami, futhi ngiyoba nguNkulunkulu wabo ngokwethembeka nangobulungisa.
9Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Maziqine izandla zenu nina enizwa lawa mazwi ngalezi zinsuku ngomlomo wabaprofethi ababekhona mhla kubekwa isisekelo sendlu kaJehova Sebawoti, ithempeli lalingakhiwa.
10Ngokuba ngaphambi kwalezi zinsuku kwakungekho nkokhelo yomuntu noma inkokhelo yezilwane; nophumayo nongenayo kwakungekho ukuthula ngenxa yosizi; ngokuba ngibamise bonke, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe.
11Kepha manje angisayikuba ngowensali yalaba bantu njengasezinsukwini zakuqala,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.
12Ngoba inzalo izaphumelela; umvini uyakuthela izithelo zawo, umhlaba uthele ukudla kwawo, amazulu anike amazolo awo; ngiyakwenza ukuba insali yalaba bantu idle ifa lazo zonke lezi zinto.
13Futhi njengoba naniyisiqalekiso phakathi kwezizwe, O ndlu yakwaJuda nawe ndlu ka-Israyeli! ngakho ngiyakukusindisa, wena ube yisibusiso; ningesabi, kepha maziqine izandla zenu.
14Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “ ‘Njengokuba ngacabanga ukunijezisa lapho oyihlo bangisulunga, usho uJehova Sebawoti, kepha angizisolanga.
15Ngakho nami ngacabanga ngalezo zinsuku ukwenzela iJerusalema nendlu kaJuda okuhle; Ungesabi.
16Yilezi izinto okufanele nizenze; Yilowo nalowo ukhuluma iqiniso kumakhelwane wakhe; yenzani isahlulelo seqiniso nokuthula emasangweni enu;
17Makungabikho kini ocabanga okubi enhliziyweni yakhe ngomakhelwane wakhe; ningathandi isifungo samanga, ngokuba zonke lezi yizinto engizizondayo,” usho uJehova.
18Izwi likaJehova Sebawoti lafika kimi, lathi:
19Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Ukuzila ukudla kwenyanga yesine, nokuzila ukudla kweyesihlanu, nokuzila ukudla kweyesikhombisa, nokuzila ukudla kweyeshumi kuyakuba ngukuthokoza nokujabula nemikhosi yokujabula endlini yakwaJuda; ngakho-ke kufanele uthande iqiniso nokuthula.
20Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Nokho kuyakufika abantu nabakhileyo emizini eminingi;
21Abakhileyo komunye umuzi bayakuya komunye, bathi: ‘Masihambe masinyane siyokhuleka phambi kukaJehova, simfune uJehova Sebawoti. Ngizohamba nami.
22Yebo, izizwe eziningi nezizwe ezinamandla ziyakuza ukumfuna uJehova Sebawoti eJerusalema, zikhuleke phambi kukaJehova.
23Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Ngalezo zinsuku kuyakuthi amadoda ayishumi avela kuzo zonke izilimi zezizwe abambe, yebo, abambe isivikelo somJuda, athi: ‘Siyakuhamba nani, ngokuba sizwile ukuthi uNkulunkulu unawe.
