1Ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwekosi uDariyasi kwafika ilizwi lakaSomnini kuZakariya elangeni lesine lenyanga yethoba, okuyinyanga kaKhisilevu.

2UBhethel-Sareseri wathuma uRerhemeleki nabantu bakhe bonyana bayokutenda uSomnini,

3bebabuze abaphristi abasethempeleni lakaSomnini uMninimandlawoke nabaphorofidi bathi: “Kufuze ngilile enyangeni yesihlanu ngokuzila ukudla njengombana ngenzile eminyakeni eminengi na?”

4Yeke ilizwi lakaSomnini uMninimandlawoke lafika kimi, mina Zakariya, lathi:

5“Khuluma nabo boke abantu benarha le nabaphristi ubabuze uthi, ‘Lokha nagade nizilile nilila enyangeni yesihlanu neyekhomba iminyaka ematjhumi alikhomba edlulileko, ngambala benizilele mina na?

6Lokha nanidla benisele emihlatjelwenenu bekungasi ngekokuzithabisa na?’

7Lawa akusiwo amezwi uSomnini awamemezela ngabaphorofidi baphambilini lokha iJerusalema isahlezwi ngokuthula, nalokha amaJuda nasahlala kiyo yoke imizi yakwaJuda na?

8Okumamezwi uSomnini awakhuluma ngabaphorofidi wathi, ‘Gcinani ukulunga okufaneleko emabandla nitjengise ukwethembeka nesirhawu omunye komunye.

9Ningagandeleli umhlolokazi namkha intandani, isikhonzi namkha odududu. Ningazindlelani okumbi.’

10Kodwana baqinisa iinhloko bebathundubaza neendlebe zabo.

11Lokhu bakwenzela eswilini ukuze bangalaleli ifundiso netjumayelo uSomnini ayimemezela ngoMoyakhe ngabaphorofidi baphambilini. Ngebangelo uSomnini uMninimandlawoke wasilingeka khulu.

12USomnini uMninimandlawoke uthi, ‘Lokha nangibabizako akhange balalele, yeke nami, angizukubezwa nabarhuwelelako.

13Ngabaphephula ngesivunguvungu ngabasa hlangana nezizwe zoke abangazaziko. Inarha yasala inesizungu ngemuva kwabo kangangobana kwakungekho okhambakhamba lapho. Bayenza njalo inarha ethabisako le yaba lirhalawumba.’ ”
