7 Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yetshumi lanye, okuyinyanga uShebati, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusix, lafika ilizwi leNkosi kuZekhariya, indodana kaBerekiyay, indodana kaIdo umprofethiz, lisithi: 8 Ngabona ebusuku, khangela-ke umuntua owayegade ibhiza elibomvub, njalo wayemi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli eziseliwenic, lemva kwakhe kwakulamabhiza abomvud, alibhidi, lamhlophe. 9 Ngasengisithi: Bayini laba, nkosi yami? Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yasisithi kimi: Mina ngizakutshengisa ukuthi laba bayinie. 10 Umuntu owayemi phakathif kwezihlahla zamamiteli wasephendula wathig: Laba yibo iNkosi ebathumileyoh ukuhamba besiya le lale emhlabenii. 11 Basebephendula ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimi phakathij kwezihlahla zamamitelik, bathi: Sihambile, saya le lale emhlabenil, khangela-ke, wonke umhlaba uhlezi uthulem.

Yasisithi kimi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, uIsrayeli, leJerusalemak. 20 INkosi yasingitshengisa ingcitshi ezinel. 21 Ngasengisithi: Lezi zizekwenzani? Yasikhuluma isithi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJudam, kwaze kwangabi lomuntu ophakamisa ikhanda lakhen; kodwa lezi zize ukuzethusa, ukulahla izimpondo zabezizwe, ezaphakamisa uphondo lumelene lelizwe lakoJuda ukulihlakazao.
