UHagayi 1 Isikhathi okufanele kwakhiwe ngaso indlu kaJehova.

¹ Ngomnyaka wesibili wenkosi uDariyu, ngenyanga yesithupha, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, izwi likaJehova lafika ngoHagayi umprofethi kuZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, umbusi wakwaJuda, nakuJoshuwa, indodana kaJosefa, umpristi omkhulu, uthi:

² Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Laba bantu bathi: ‘Asikafiki isikhathi, isikhathi sokwakhiwa kwendlu kaJehova.

³ Kwase kufika izwi likaJehova ngomprofethi uHagayi, lathi:

⁴ Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi nina, nina, nihlale ezindlini zenu zokukhosela, futhi le ndlu iyincithakalo?

⁵ Manje, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bhekani izindlela zenu.

⁶ Nihlwanyele okuningi, ningenise okuncane; niyadla, kepha anisuthi; niyaphuza, kepha anisuthi ngokuphuzwayo; niyembatha, kepha akakho ofudumalayo; noholayo uhola ngokuwaphonsa esikhwameni esinezimbobo.

⁷ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bhekani izindlela zenu.

⁸ Khuphukani entabeni, nilethe imithi, nakhe indlu; ngiyakuthokoza ngalo, ngikhazimulise,” usho uJehova.

⁹ Nilinde kakhulu, bhekani, sekukuncane; ekuletheni kwenu ekhaya, ngakuphephetha; Kungani? usho uJehova Sebawoti. Ngenxa yendlu yami eyincithakalo, nigijime, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe.

¹⁰ Ngalokho izulu ligodliwe amazolo phezu kwenu, nomhlabathi ekutheleni kwawo.

¹¹ Ngabiza isomiso phezu kwezwe, naphezu kwezintaba, naphezu kukakolweni, naphezu kothuli, naphezu kwamafutha, naphezu kwalokho okuvezwa ngumhlabathi, naphezu kwabantu, naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla.

¹² Khona uZerubhabhele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, noJoshuwa indodana kaJehosadeki, umpristi omkhulu, nayo yonke insali yabantu balilalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo namazwi kaHagayi umprofethi, njengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo. Wamthuma, abantu besaba phambi kukaJehova.

¹³ UHagayi, isithunywa seNkosi, wakhuluma ebantwini ngelizwi leNkosi, wathi: Ngilani, kutsho i Nkosi.

¹⁴ UJehova wawuvusa umoya kaZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli, umbusi wakwaJuda, nomoya kaJoshuwa, indodana kaJehosadeki, umpristi omkhulu, nomoya wayo yonke insali yabantu; beza, basebenza endlini kaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo;

¹⁵ Ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yesithupha, ngomnyaka wesibili wenkosi uDariyu.
