10Ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesiné lwenyanga yesithoba, ngomnyaka wesibini kaDariyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi, 11Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Khawubuze umyalelo kubabingeleli, uthi, 12Yabonani, umntu ephethe inyama engcwele ngesondo lengubo yakhe, afike ngesondo lakhe esonkeni, nasentweni ephekiweyo, nasewayinini, naseolini, nasentweni nokuba yiyiphi edliwayo, yongcwaliseka na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi, Hayi. 13Wathi ke uHagayi, Ukuba úthe wafika oyinqambi ngenxa yomfi, kwezo zinto zonke, zoba ziinqambi na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi, Zoba ziinqambi. 14Waphendula uHagayi wathi, Banjalo ke aba bantu, lunjalo ke olu hlanga ebusweni bam; utsho uYehova; unjalo ke wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, nento abayisondezayo khona apho iyinqambi.
15Kaloku ke khanigqale, nithabathele kule mini, nibhekise emva, kungekabekwa litye lityeni etempileni kaYehova; 16nithabathèle kwelo xesha, xa umntu ebefike esitheni esimilinganiso imashumi mabini, asuke afumane libe linye ishumi; xa ebefika emkhumbini wokukhongozela iwayini, eza kukha imilinganiso emashumi mahlanu, asuke afumane amashumi amabini. 17Ndanibetha ngembabala, nangexoshomba, nangesichotho, kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu; noko ke akubangakho namnye kuni ubuyela kum; utsho uYehova. 18Khanigqale, nithabathele kule mini, nibhekise emva, nithabathele kusuku lwamashumi omabini anesiné lwenyanga yesithoba kususela kuloo mini yokusekwa kwetempile kaYehova; gqalani ke. 19Isekho yini na imbewu eqongeni? Hayi, akuxakathanga nto, kude kwesa kumdiliya, nomkhiwane, nomrharnate, nomnquma. Ndithabathele kule mini, ndiya kusikelela.
