1Ngenyanga yobumnane emnyakeni wesibili wokubusa kwakaDariyasi, ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika kumphorofidi uZakariya umsa kaBherekiya omsa ka-Ido:

2“USomnini wasilingeka khulu kwamambala ngaboyihlomkhulu.

3Yeke, yewutjele abantu uthi: Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke,

“ ‘Buyelani kimi

ngombana nami ngifuna ukubuyela kini.’

Lawa, mamezwi kaSomnini uMninimandlawoke.

4“Ningalingisi aboyihlomkhulu okwathi lokha abaphorofidi baphambilini nabathi kibo: Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke, ‘Phendukani emikhubeni nezenzweni zenu zobukhohlakali.’ Kodwana azange balalele begodu azange bebangithathele ehloko.” Kutjho uSomnini.

5“Kwenzekani-ke ngaboyihlomkhulu

nabaphorofidi babo bamanga?

6Ngambala amezwami nemiyalwami

engayithumezela ngeenceku zami, abaphorofidi,

yafika kiboyihlomkhulu.

Kwafanela bona baphenduke bebavume bathi,

‘USomnini uMninimandlawoke usenzele

okufanelana nemikhuba nezenzo zethu

njengombana bekathe uzakwenza.’ ”

Umbono ngamadoda weenjomani

7Elangeni lamatjhumi amabili nane; ngenyanga yetjhumi nanye, okuyinyanga kaTjhebati, ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kwakaDariyasi, umphorofidi uZakariya umsa kaBherekiya, omsa ka-Ido wabona umbono ovela kuSomnini.

8Kwathi ebusuku ngehlelwa mbono: Ngabona umuntu akhwele injomani ekofe. Gade ajame hlangana nemithi yemiritlili ngemrhobeni. Ngemva kwakhe kwakujame iinjomani ezinzotho, ezibomvu nezimhlophe.

9-10Ngabuza ngathi: “Kosami, kutjho ukuthini lokhu?” Isithunywa sakaSomnini ebegade sijame hlangana nemithi yemiritlili sathi kimi: “Ngizakuhlathululela bonyana kutjho ukuthini. Laba ngabathunywe nguSomnini kobana bakhambe iphasi loke.”

11Base bayabika-ke esithunyweni sakaSomnini esasijame hlangana nemithi yemiritlili bathi: “Sikhambe iphasi loke, safunyana lipholile.”

12Nje-ke isithunywa sakaSomnini sathi: “Somnini Mninimandlawoke, kuzabe kube nini usitheze isirhawu phezu kweJerusalema nemadorobheni wakwaJuda obegade ulokhu uwathukuthelele iminyaka ematjhumi alikhomba woke poro?”

13Yeke uSomnini wakhuluma amezwi amahle naduduzako ngesithunywa sakhe.

14Nje-ke isithunywa sakaSomnini sathi: “Memezela amezwi la:

“USomnini uMninimandlawoke uthi,

‘Nginesikhwele esikhulu ngeJerusalema neZiyoni

15begodu ngisilingeke khulu

ngezizwe ezizikhakhazisa ngokuzethemba kwazo.

Bengisilingeke isikhatjhana esifitjhani

kodwana izizwezi zithuwelele ngokonakala.’

16“Nje-ke nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini,

“ ‘Ngizakubuyela eJerusalema ngesirhawu,

lapha ithempeli lami lizakwakhiwa

khona ngobutjha

begodu neJerusalema izakwakhiwa butjha.’

17“Ragela phambili umemezele uthi:

“Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke,

‘Amadorobhami azakuthoma godu

aphuphume ngomnotho,

yeke uSomnini uzakuthoma godu

aduduze iZiyoni abe akhethe iJerusalema.’ ”

Umbono ngeempondo nabososino

18Ngaqala godu, ngabona kuneempondo ezine.

19Ngabuza isithunywa sakaSomnini ngathi: “Khuyini-ke lokhu?” Sangiphendula sathi: “Lezi ziimpondo ezahlakaza uJuda, u-Israyeli neJerusalema.”

20Yeke uSomnini wangikhombisa abososino abane.

21Ngabuza ngathi: “Alo, bazokwenzani-ke laba?” Wangiphendula wathi: “Laba baziimpondo ezahlakaza uJuda kangangobana kwatlhogeka noyedwa ovusa ihloko, kodwana abososino beze ukuzobethusa, bebaqede amandla wezizwe ezaphakamisela iimpondo zazo enarheni yakwaJuda kobana zihlakaze abantu bakhona.”
