UZEKARIYA 2
Umbono wendoda enolutya lokulinganisa
1Ndaphakamisa amehlo am, ndakhangela, Nanko umntu ephethe ngesandla ulutya lokulinganisa. 2Ndathi ke, Ùya ngaphi na? Wathi kum, Ndiya kulinganisa iYerusalem, ndibone ukuba bungakanani na ububanzi bayo, bungakanani na ubude bayo. 3Naso ke isithunywa esibe sithetha nam siphuma, kuphuma nesinye isithunywa, sisiya kusikhawulela. 4Sathi kuso, Gidima, uthethe nalaa ndodana, uthi, IYerusalem iya kuhlala ngokwamaphandle, ngenxa yobuninzi babantu neenkomo eziphakathi kwayo. 5Ndiya kuba ludonga lomlilo kuyo mna ngeenxa zonke, utsho uYehova; ndibe bubuqaqawuli phakathi kwayo.
