Zakhariya 1 - Siswati 1996 Bible

Simakadze ubita sive sakhe

¹ Ngenyanga yesiphohlongo emnyakeni wesibili wekubusa kwaDariyusi, livi laSimakadze lefika kumphrofethi Zakhariya, umsa waBherekhiya, umsa wa-Ido, latsi:

² “Simakadze wabatfukutselela kakhulu bokhokho benu.

³ Ngako-ke tjela bantfu, utsi: Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze longuSomandla, utsi: ‘Buyelani kimi,’ kusho Simakadze longuSomandla, ‘nami ngitawubuyela kini,’ kusho Simakadze longuSomandla.

⁴ Ningafanani nabokhokho benu, lekwatsi baphrofethi bakucala nabakhuluma kubo, batsi: Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze longuSomandla, utsi: ‘Phendvukani etindleleni tenu letimbi nakulokubi lenikwentako.’ Kodvwa abazange bangilalele, futsi abanginakanga nekunginaka, kusho Simakadze.

⁵ Baphi labokhokho benu nyalo? Labaphrofethi benu bona baphila kuze kube nguphakadze yini?

⁶ Kodvwa lamavi ami netimiso tami, lengabayala ngako ngemlomo webaphrofethi, tinceku tami, akuzange kufike yini etindlebeni taboyihlomkhulu? Base bayaphendvuka batsi: ‘Simakadze longuSomandla wente kitsi loko lobekusifanele ngekwetindlela tetfu nangalesikwentako, njengobe abesatimisele kukwenta.’ ”

Umbono wemphrofethi ngemahhashi

⁷ Ngelilanga lema-24 enyangeni yeli-11, lenguShebathi, emnyakeni wesibili wekubusa kwaDariyusi, livi laSimakadze lefika kumphrofethi Zakhariya, umsa waBherekhiya, umsa wa-Ido.

⁸ Kwatsi ebusuku ngaba nembono, kwatsi embikwami ngabona indvodza leyayigibele lihhashi lelibovu! Yayime emkhatsini wetihlahla temibomvana, emfudlaneni. Emvakwayo bekunemahhashi labovu, nalabubendze, nalamhlophe.

⁹ Ngabuta ngatsi: “Nkhosi yami, bayini laba?” Bekunengilosi lebeyikhuluma nami, yaphendvula, yatsi: “Ngitakubonisa kutsi bayini.”

¹⁰ Kwase kutsi lendvodza leyayime emkhatsini wetihlahla temibomvana yachaza, yatsi: “Bangulabo lababetfunywa nguSimakadze kutsi baye emhlabeni wonkhe.”

¹¹ Babika engilosini yaSimakadze leyayime emkhatsini wemibomvana, batsi: “Sesihambe emhlabeni wonkhe, sakhandza kutsi umhlaba wonkhe uphumulile, futsi unekuthula.”

¹² Ingilosi yaSimakadze yatsi: “Simakadze Somandla, kuyawuze kube ngunini solomane sihawu sakho usigodlele iJerusalema nemadolobha akaJuda, lowawuwatfukutselele kuleminyaka lengema-70?”

¹³ Ngako Simakadze wakhuluma emavi lamnandzi ekudvudvuta kulengilosi leyayikhuluma nami.

¹⁴ Lengilosi leyayikhuluma kimi, yatsi: “Memetela lelivi, utsi: Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze longuSomandla, utsi: ‘Nginenshisekelo lenkhulu ngeJerusalema neSiyoni.

¹⁵ Bengingakatfukutseli kangaka, kodvwa tive letitibona kutsi tiphephile setengete kulenhlekelele, tangitfukutselisa kakhulu.’

¹⁶ “Ngako-ke, naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi: ‘Ngiyawubuyela ngesihawu eJerusalema, ngulapho kuyawukwakhiwa khona kabusha indlu yami. Intsambo yekukala iyakwelulelwa etikweJerusalema, yakhiwe kabusha,’ kusho Simakadze longuSomandla.

¹⁷ “Chubeka umemetele utsi: Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze Somandla, utsi: ‘Emadolobha ami ayawuphindze aphuphume ngemnotfo, Simakadze aphindze ayidvudvute iSiyoni, akhetse iJerusalema.’ ”

Umbono wetimphondvo

¹⁸ Ngase ngiphakamisa emehlo ami ngabuka, ngabona embikwami kunetimphondvo letine.

¹⁹ Ngabe sengibuta lengilosi leyayikhuluma nami, ngatsi: “Kuyini loku?” Yangiphendvula, yatsi: “Leti timphondvo letasakata Juda, na-Israyeli kanye neJerusalema.”

²⁰ Simakadze wabe sewungibonisa tincondzi letine kutekubata.

²¹ Ngabuta ngatsi: “Batekwentani laba lapha?” Yangiphendvula, yatsi: “Leti timphondvo letasakata Juda kuze kubete namunye lophakamisa inhloko yakhe, kodvwa letincondzi titele kutekwetfusa babusi betive nekutijika phansi letimphondvo tetive letatiphakamise timphondvo tato temelana nelive lakaJuda kutewusakata bantfu bakaJuda.”
