Zakariya

2 Ngaqala phezulu bese ngabona indoda iphethe intambo yokulinganisa.+ 2 Ngayibuza ngathi: “Uyaphi?”

Yathi: “Ngiyokulinganisa iJerusalema, ngibone ububanzi balo nobude balo.”+

3 Ingilozi leya ebengikhuluma nayo yasuka kimi, kweza enye ingilozi yazokuhlangana nayo. 4 Yathi kiyo: “Gijimela lapha uyokutjela isokanela ukuthi, ‘“IJerusalema izokuba yindawo evulekileko* ngebanga labantu nefuyo ekilo.+ 5 UJehova uthi, “Kilo ngizokuba liboda lomlilo mahlangothi woke+ begodu ngizokuba yiphazimulo yalo.”’”+

6 “Yewize! Yewize! Baleka enarheni yetlhagwini,”+ kutjho uJehova.

“Ngombana ngikwenze warhatjhekela emahlangothini amane wephasi,”+ kutjho uJehova.

7 “Yenize bantu beZiyoni, phunyurhani nina enihlala nendodakazi yeBhabhiloni.+ 8 Ngemva kobana uJehova wamabutho aphazinyulisiwe, wangithumela eentjhabeni ebezinidlelezela+ wathi: “Nanyana ngubani onithintako, uthinta ilihlo lami.+ 9 Nje ngizokuphakamisa isandla sami ngokujamelene nazo, iingqila zazo zizokuthatha ipahla yeentjhabezi,+ ngokuqinisekileko nina nizokwazi bona uJehova wamabutho ungithumile.

10 “Bhina ngethabo ndodakazi yeZiyoni+ ngombana ngiyeza,+ ngizokuhlala hlangana nani,”+ kutjho uJehova. 11 “Iintjhaba ezinengi zizokuba ngehlangothini lakaJehova ngelangelo,+ zizokuba sitjhaba sami begodu ngizokuhlala hlangana nani.” Nizokwazi ukuthi nguJehova wamabutho ongithume kini. 12 UJehova uzokuthatha ipahla kaJuda njengelifa lakhe endaweni ecwengileko, godu uzolikhetha iJerusalema.+ 13 Thulani noke nina bantu phambi kwakaJehova ngombana uphuma endawenakhe ecwengileko bona azokuthatha igadango.
