1 Ngomnyaka wesibini kaDariyo ukumkani, ngenyanga yesithandathu, ngosuku lokuqala enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, kuZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, lisithi,
2 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Aba bantu báthi, Asikabi lixesha lokuba kuziwe, asikabi lixesha lokuba yakhiwe indlu kaYehova.
3 Kwafika ke ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
4 Lixesha na kuni nina, lokuba nihlale ezindlwini zenu zalekiwe, ibe le ndlu yam yona ilinxuwa?
5 Kaloku ke, utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Zigqaleni iindlela zenu.
6 Nahlwayela kakhulu, ningenisé kancinane; niyadla, ningahluthi; nisela, ninganeli kukusela; nambatha, ningevi ntsitho; noziqeshisayo uziqeshisela ukuba agalele engxoweni enezikroba.
7 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Iindlela zenu zigqaleni.
