2 Khawuthethe kuZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, nakumasalela abantu, uthi,
3 Ngubani na kuni apha oseleyo, owayibonayo le ndlu isesebuqaqawulini bayo bokuqala? Niyibona iyintoni na ke ngoku? Àyinjengento engento na emehlweni enu?
4 Noko ke ngoku yomelela, Zerubhabheli, utsho uYehova; womelelé, Yoshuwa nyana kaYotsadaki, mbingeleli mkhulu; nomelele, nonke bantu belizwe, utsho uYehova, nisebenze; ngokuba ndináni, utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
5 Ilizwi elo, ndànqophisana nani ngalo ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa, ndisaligcinile, noMoya wam umi phakathi kwenu; musani ukoyika.
6 Ngokuba uYehova wemikhosi utsho ukuthi, Kusaya kuba kanye, umzuzwana ke, ndinyikimise izulu, nehlabathi, nolwandle, nomhlaba owomileyo;
7 ndizinyikimise zonke iintlanga, zifike izinto ezinqwenelekayo zeentlanga zonke, ndiyizalise le ndlu ngobuqaqawuli; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
8 Isilivere yeyam, igolide yeyam; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
