4 Ntsumi leyi a yi vulavula na mina yi tlhela yi vuya yi ta ndzi pfuxa, ku fana ni loko yi pfuxa munhu evurhongweni. 2 Kutani yi ku eka mina: “Xana u vona yini?”
Hiloko ndzi ku: “Ndzi vona xo tlhoma timboni lexi endliweke hi nsuku,+ lexi nga ni nkambana ehenhla ka xona. Xi ni timboni ta nkombo,+ nkombo wa tona naswona timboni leti ti nga ehenhla ka xona ti ni tiphayiphi ta nkombo. 3 Ematlhelo ka xona ku ni mirhi yimbirhi ya mitlhwari,+ wun’wana etlhelweni ra xinene ra nkambana wun’wana eximatsini.”
4 Kutani ndzi vutisa ntsumi leyi a yi vulavula na mina ndzi ku: “Xana swilo leswi swi vula yini, hosi yanga?” 5 Ntsumi leyi a yi vulavula na mina yi ndzi vutisa yi ku: “Xana a wu swi tivi leswaku swilo leswi swi vula yini?”
Ndzi ku: “A ndzi swi tivi, hosi yanga.”
6 Hiloko yi ku eka mina: “Leswi hi leswi Yehovha a swi byelaka Zerubabele: ‘“A ndzi nge tirhisi masocha, kumbe matimba,+ kambe ndzi ta tirhisa moya wa mina,”+ ku vula Yehovha wa mavuthu. 7 U mani wena, wena ntshava leyikulu? Zerubabele+ u ta ku hundzula rivala.+ Hambi ribye ra wena ro hetelela ro aka ha rona u ta ri teka naswona va ta huwelela va ku: “Mawaku ku xonga ka rona! Mawaku ku xonga ka rona!”’”
8 Yehovha a tlhela a vulavula na mina a ku: 9 “Zerubabele hi yena a sunguleke ku aka yindlu leyi,+ naswona u ta yi heta.+ Mi ta swi tiva leswaku Yehovha wa mavuthu hi yena loyi a ndzi rhumeke eka n’wina. 10 Hikuva i mani loyi a ri languteleke ehansi siku ra swilo leswitsongo?+ Hikuva va ta tsaka loko va vona Zerubabele a khome ntambhu* yo pima. Timboni leta nkombo i matihlo ya Yehovha lama langutaka hinkwako emisaveni.”+
11 Kutani ndzi yi vutisa ndzi ku: “Xana mirhi leyimbirhi ya mitlhwari etlhelweni ra xinene ni ra ximatsi ra xo tlhoma timboni yi vula yini?”+ 12 Ndzi tlhela ndzi yi vutisa ndzi ku: “Xana tinyandza timbirhi ta switluka* swa mirhi ya mitlhwari, leswi humesaka mafurha ya nsuku hi tiphayiphi timbirhi ta nsuku ti vula yini?”
13 Kutani yi ndzi vutisa yi ku: “Xana a wu swi tivi leswaku swilo leswi swi vula yini?”
Hiloko ndzi ku: “A ndzi swi tivi, hosi yanga.”
14 Yi ku: “Swi yimela vahlawuriwa vambirhi lava yimeke etlhelo ka Hosi ya misava hinkwayo.”+
