14 IKosi uKoretjhi yakhupha ethempelini leBhabhiloni izitja zegolide nezesiliva zendlu kaZimu, lezo uNebukadinetsari azithatha ngethempelini leJerusalema wazisa ethempelini leBhabhiloni.+ Zanikelwa indoda ekuthiwa nguTjhetjhibhatsari,*+ loyo uKoretjhi amenza umbusi.+

16 Nje-ke wafika uTjhetjhibhatsari loyo, wabeka iinsekelo zendlu kaZimu+ eseJerusalema; solo iyakhiwa bekube nje.’+

1 Ngomnyaka wesibili weKosi uDariyasi, ngenyanga yesithandathu ngelanga lokuthoma lenyanga, ilizwi lakaJehova lafika kuZerubhabheli+ indodana kaTjheyalitiyeli umbusi wakwaJuda, nakuJotjhuwa indodana kaJehozadaki umphristi ophakemeko, ngomphorofidi uHagayi*+ lathi:

14 Yeke uJehova wakhuthaza*+ uZerubhabheli indodana kaTjheyalitiyeli umbusi wakwaJuda,+ noJotjhuwa+ indodana kaJehozadaki umphristi ophakemeko, nabo boke abantu; yeke beza bathoma ukwakha indlu kaJehova wamabutho, uZimabo.+

23 “‘Ngelangelo,’ kutjho uJehova wamabutho, ‘Ngizokuthatha wena ncekwami Zerubhabheli+ ndodana kaTjheyalitiyeli,’+ kutjho uJehova begodu ngizokwenza ube njengedzilamnwana yetshwayo ngombana ngikhethe wena,’ kutjho uJehova wamabutho.”
