Abantu batoolera kabiri okuzimba eisinzizo
15:1: Hag 1:1; Zek 1:1 Agho abalanzi babiri, Haggai ni Zekaria mutabane wa Iddo, baalanga eri Abayudaaya abaali mu Buyudaaya ni mu Yerusalemu, nga babita mu liina lya Katonda wa Isiraeli eyabalabiriranga. 25:2: Hag 1:12; Zek 4:6-9 Kale Zerubbabeli mutabane wa Shealutieli ni Yeshua mutabane wa Yozadaki, bairamu okuzimba eisinzizo lya Musengwa Katonda e Yerusalemu, nga bayambibwaku abalanzi abo bombi.
3Mu kiseera kyene ekyo Tattenai eyafuganga ekiketezo ekiri ere ng’osomoike omwiga Eufurate, ni Shetharibozenai, ni bakagwa baibwe abandi, baidha e Yerusalemu baababuuza bati: “Naani eyabagha obukumu okuzimba eisinzizo lino n’okulimaliriza?” 4Era baababuuza n’amaina ag’abo abaali bali kulizimba. 5Aye Katonda yaakuuma abakulembeze ab’Abayudaaya, kale abakungu abo ab’e Perusia baaloba kubalobera kuzimba, nga benda bagheereze kyabazinga Dario amawulire ago, era abairemu mu bughandiike memale.
6Eno n’embaluwa Tattenai eyafuganga ekiketezo ekiri ere ng’osomoike omwiga Eufurate, ni Shetharibozenai, ni bakagwa baibwe abandi bwe baafuganga ekiketezo ekiri ere ng’osomoike omwiga Eufurate, ye baagheereza kyabazinga Dario:
7“Ya kyabazinga Dario. Emiraala gibenga n’iwe.
8“Isebantu kyabazinga, tuli kukumanhisa tuti twaja mu kiketezo eky’e Buyudaaya, twatuuka ku isinzizo lya Katonda oyo omukologho. Twayagaana nga bali kulizimba n’amabaale amabaadhe amanene, nga n’emiti bali kugizimbira mu bimante. Omulimo bali kugukola n’obwegendereza era guli kuja mu maiso.
9“Agho twabuuza abakulembeze b’abantu tuti, ‘Naani eyabagha obukumu okuzimba eisinzizo lino n’okulimaliriza’? 10Era twababuuza n’amaina gaibwe, tusobole okukukobera abantu abakulira omulimo ogwo.
11“Baatwiramu bati, ‘Ife tuli bagheereza ba Katonda ow’eigulu n’ensi. Tuli kuzimba buyaaka eisinzizo kyabazinga wa Isiraeli eyali omukologho lye yazimba n’alimaliriza, buti ghabiseegho emyaka kamaala. 125:12: 2 Bakyab 25:8-12; 2 Byom 36:17-20; Yer 52:12-15 Aye badhaadha baife baasungughaza Katonda oyo ow’eigulu, yaaleetera Nebukadinezzari eyali kyabazinga w’Abakaladea e Babilonia okubagema, yaabatwala mu nsi Babilonia eyo nga banhage, era n’eisinzizo lino yaalizikiriza. 135:13: Ezer 1:2-11 Aye mu mwaka ogwasooka nga kyabazinga Kuro n’afuga Babilonia, Kuro oyo yaagha ekiragiro okwiramu okuzimba eisinzizo lino. 14Era ghaligho ebintu ebya zaabu n’ebya feeza Nebukadinezzari bye yali atoire mu isinzizo lya Katonda lino e Yerusalemu n’abitwala mu isabo e Babilonia. Aye kyabazinga Kuro oyo yabitoolayo mu isabo e Babilonia, yaabigemya omusaadha ye baayetanga Sheshibazzari, kyabazinga Kuro oyo ye yali amaze okutaagho ng’omufuzi mu Buyudaaya. 15Yaamukoba okutwala ebintu ebyo, abiizeeyo mu isinzizo e Yerusalemu era abone ng’eisinzizo lya Katonda lizimbibwa buyaaka mu kifo ghe lyali. 16Kale Sheshibazzari oyo yaidha yaataagho omusingi ogw’eisinzizo lya Katonda e Yerusalemu. Era okuva n’olwo okutuusa ni ye buli eno babairenga balizimba era likaalinga kuwa.’
17“Agho ni, Isebantu kyabazinga, bw’oba okisiimye lagira banoonereze mu bighandiiko eby’ebyafaayo eby’obwakyabazinga e Babilonia, babone oba nga bwenebwene kyabazinga Kuro yagha ekiragiro bazimbe buyaaka eisinzizo lya Katonda lino mu Yerusalemu. Era, Isebantu kyabazinga, tukusaba otumanhise ky’onaaba osiimye okukola ku nsonga eyo.”
