2 Nka nako yonone ga gore Zerubhabhele morwayi wa Šiyalatiyele le Ješuwa morwayi wa Jehozadake ba yye ba thomisa go yaga ntlo ya Modimo ya gore ne yi le Jerusalema ka bonyuwane; fote baporofeta ba Modimo ke mo ba le nabo ba ba tiyisa.
3 Ka nako yone, Thatenayi wa gore ne a lawola poleke ya gore yi ka nthoko yela ya Noka ya Eforate, Šethara-bhozenayi le bo ne ba bereka nabo ba tla ba ba butsisa gore: “Le butsiye ke mang gore le yage ntlo yowa le gore le fetsise mmereko wowa?”
4 Ke mokane ba ba butsisa gore: “Mabitso ya batho bo ba berekang ka moyago wowa ke bomang?”
5 Mara Modimo ke mo a pasopiye banna ba bagolo ba Majuda, ba sa kgone go ba yemisa go segela ba botsa Dariyase taba yowa le go segela mo ba leya borifi bya go tšwa ga kgoši.
6 Tsowa ke tso ne di ngwadiwwe ga borifi byo Thatenayi wa gore ne a lawola poleke ya gore yi ka nthoko yela ya Noka ya Eforate, Šethara-bhozenayi le bo ne ba bereka nabo ba gore ne ba lawola poleke ya gore yi ka nthoko yela ya Noka ya Eforate, ba bo romeleng Kgoši Dariyase;
7 ba mo romele borifi byone, fote hone ga byona ke mo ba ngwadiye gore:
“Tsowa di ya ga Kgoši Dariyase:
“Nkare o ka beba!
8 Kgoši yi di tšibe gore ke mo re yye polekeng ya Juda ntlong ya Modimo ye mogolo, ba yi yaga ka matlapa ya magolo fote ba tšhela dikwata mo mapharong. Batho ba gona ba bereka ka matšato fote mmereko wa bona wo ya mahlong.
9 Ke mokane ra butsisa banna ba bagolo gore: ‘Le butsiye ke mang gore le yage ntlo yowa le gore le fetsise mmereko wowa?’
10 Re butsisiye le mabitso ya bona gore re tle re go botse, gore re thogo ngwala fase mabitso ya banna bo ba ba yetang mahlong.
11 “Mo ba fetola ba yitseri: ‘Ke rune malata ya Modimo wa magedimo le lefase, re yaga ka bonyuwane ntlo ya gore ke mo yi yagiwwe mengwaga ya go tlala ya go fela ya gore kgoši ye kgolo ya Israyele yi yi yagiye ya yi fetsa.
12 Mara ka gore bopapa ba rune ba kwatisiye Modimo wa magedimong, o makiye gore ba hlule ke kgoši Nebhukhadhinezara wa Bhabhilona wa Lekhaladiya wa gore o pshyayannye ntlo yowa, a tseya batho a ba yisa Bhabhilona gore go be mabhantiti.
13 Mara ka mongwaga wa mathomo wa mo go lawola Kgoši Sayirase wa Bhabhilona, Kgoši Sayirase o ntshiye molawo wa gore ntlo yowa ya Modimo yi yagiwe ka bonyuwane.
14 Go tokegela gana hone, Kgoši Sayirase o ntshiye ditša tsa go makiwa ka gholdi le tsa go makiwa ka silva tempeleng ya Bhabhilona, ditša tsone ke mo go le tsa ntlong ya Modimo tsa gore Nebhukhadhinezara ke mo a di tsere tempeleng ku Jerusalema a di leya tempeleng ya Bhabhilona. Ba di neya monna ye mongwana wa gore ba re ke Šešebhazara* wa gore Sayirase o makiye gore go be wa go lawola.
15 Sayirase o yitseri gage: “Tseya ditša tsowa. Ariye o ye di beya tempeleng ya gore yi ku Jerusalema, fote ntlo ya Modimo yi yagiwe ka bonyuwane mo ne yi le gona.”
16 Byalo, Šešebhazara yene wa gona a tla a yaga difandhiši tsa ntlo ya Modimo ya gore yi ku Jerusalema; ba f’lo ya mahlong ba yi yaga go segela gana byalo mara a ba soko yi fetsa.’
17 “Byalo mo nkare kgoši yi bona di lukiye, yi rome batho gore ba nyakolle hala go beyiwang dilo tso kgoši yi di tseyelang gedimo ku Bhabhilona, ba bone gore ayitsano Kgoši Sayirase o ntshiye molawo wa gore ntlo yone ya Modimo yi yagiwe ka bonyuwane ku Jerusalema; fote kgoši yi re botse sepheto so yi se segeleleng ga taba yowa.”
