1 Kwathi ngomnyaka wesine kaDariyo ukumkani, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuZekariya ngosuku lwesine lwenyanga yesithoba, enguKisilevu.2 IBheteli ke yathuma ooSharetsere noRegem-meleki nabantu bakhe, ukuba bambongoze uYehova,3 bathethe kubabingeleli ababesendlwini kaYehova wemikhosi, nakubaprofeti, bathi, Ndilile na, ndizile na ngenyanga yesihlanu, njengoko ndisendenze ngako le minyaka ingaka?4 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova wemikhosi kum, lisithi,5 Thetha kubantu bonke belizwe eli, nakubabingeleli, uthi, Oko benizila ukudla, nilila, ngenyanga yesihlanu nangeyesixhenxe, iminyaka ke engamashumi asixhenxe, ukuzila oko benizilela mna na?6 Xa benisidla naxa benisela, bekungadli nina na, bekungaseli nina na?7 Beningafanele kuwenza yini na amazwi, abewamemeza uYehova ngabaprofeti bamandulo, oko ibimiwe ichulumachile iYerusalem, kwanemizi yayo engeenxa zonke kuyo, naoko belimiwe elasezantsi nelasesithabazi?

8 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuZekariya, lisithi,9 Utshilo uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Gwebani ngesigwebo senyaniso, nenze inceba nemfesane elowo kumzalwana wakhe.10 Musani ukubacudisa abahlolokazi, neenkedama, nabasemzini, namahlwempu; musani ukucinga bubi entliziyweni yenu ngendoda engumzalwana wenu.11 Abavumanga ke ukubaza indlebe; balirhola igxalaba elinjubaqa, bazithi nkqi iindlebe zabo, abeva.12 Intliziyo yabo bayenza idayiman, ukuba bangawuvi umyalelo namazwi, abewathumela uYehova wemikhosi ngomoya wakhe, ngabaprofeti bamandulo; kwabakho ke uburhalarhume obukhulu obuvela kuYehova wemikhosi.13 Kuya kuthi ke, njengoko ebememeza bengeva, benjenjalo ukumemeza, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ndingevi.14 Ndiya kubachithachithela ezintlangeni zonke ababengazazi; kube senkangala elizweni emva kwabo, kungacandi mntu, kungabuyi mntu; balenze ke ilizwe elinqwenelekayo kube senkangala kulo.
