1Ngomnyaka wesibili wekosi uDariyasi, elangeni lokuthoma lenyanga yesithandathu, ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika kuZerubhabheli umsa kaTjheyaltiyeli, umbusi wakwaJuda, nakuJotjhuwa umsa kaJehozadaki, umphristi omkhulu, ngomphorofidi uHagayi lathi:
2Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke: “Abantwaba bathi, ‘Isikhathi sokobana kwakhiwe indlu kaSomnini asakafiki.’ ”
3Yeke ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika ngomphorofidi uHagayi lathi: 4“Kusikhathi sokobana nina nihlale eendlini zakanokutjho, khibe indlu le yona ilokhu ilirubhi njalo na?”
5Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke: “Yelelani iindlela zenu. 6Nitjele khulu, kodwana nivuna kancani. Niyagoma, kodwana anisuthi. Niyasela kodwana anikholwa. Niyembatha, kodwana anifuthumali. Niyarhola bese nifaka umrholo ngembadeni evuzako.”
7Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke: “Yelelani iindlela zenu. 8Nyukelani eentabeni bese newuka neengodo nakhe indlu ukuze ngizithabise ngayo bengidunyiswe.” kutjho uSomnini. 9“Benirhuluphele okunengi, kodwana qalani kujike kwaba yitupurujwana. Lokho ebenithi nikuletha ekhaya, ngakukhafulela. Ngebanga lani-ke?” Kutjho uSomnini uMninimandlawoke. “Ngebanga lendlwami, esolo yajama ilirubhi, ngapha khibe nina omunye nomunye wenu uzithabisa ngendlwakhe. 10Nje-ke, ngebanga lenu, amazulu agugudlhele izulu lawo, nephasi lagugudlhela isivuno salo. 11Ngehlisele isomiso emasimini neentabeni, phezu kwesivuno samabele, sewayini elitjha, emafutheni we-oliva naphezu kwananyana yini esimila, phezu kwabantu naphezu kwefuyo, naphezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zenu.”
12Yeke uZerubhabheli umsa kaTjheyaltiyeli, uJotjhuwa umsa kaJehozadaki, umphristi omkhulu, nayo yoke imisalela yabantu balalela ilizwi lakaSomnini uZimabo kanye nomlayezo womphorofidi uHagayi ngombana ubagade athunywe nguSomnini uZimabo. Nje-ke abantu besaba uSomnini.
13Yeke uHagayi, isithunywa sakaSomnini, wathula umlayezo kaSomnini ebantwini wathi: “Nginani, kutjho uSomnini.” 14Nje-ke uSomnini watlhotlholoja ummoya kaZerubhabheli umsa kaTjheyaltiyeli, umbusi wakwaJuda, nommoya kaJotjhuwa umsa kaJehozadaki, umphristi omkhulu, kanye nommoya wabo boke abantu abimisalela. Bafika bebathoma ukusebenza endlini kaSomnini uMninimandlawoke, uZimabo, 15elangeni lamatjhumi amabili nane ngenyanga yesithandathu.
