UZekariya 13
1 Ngaloo mini kuya kubakho ithende elivulelwe indlu kaDavide nabemi baseYerusalem, ngenxa yesono nangenxa yokungcola.2 Kothi ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ndiwanqumle amagama ezithixo elizweni, zingabi sakhunjulwa; nabaprofeti nomoya wobunqambi ndibagqithise, bangabikho ezweni apha.3 Kothi xa athe wabuya waprofeta ubani, bathi kuye uyise nonina abamzalayo. Akuyi kuphila, kuba uthethe ubuxoki egameni likaYehova. Uyise nonina abamzalayo bomhlaba amahlanza ngenxa yokuprofeta kwakhe.4 Kothi ngaloo mini, badane abaprofeti, elowo ngumbono wakhe, ekuprofeteni kwakhe, bangambathi ngubo ixhonti yokuze bakhohlise.5 Wothi, Andimprofeti, ndingumntu olima umhlaba; kuba wandithenga umntu ndisemncinane.6 Kothiwa kuye, Ayini na la manxeba asezandleni zakho? athi, Ngandangxwelerhwa ngawo endlwini yabazizihlobo zam.
7 Krele, vuka usukele phezulu kumalusi wam, kumfo ongummelwane, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; betha kumalusi, umhlambi ube lusali; ndisibuyisele isandla sam phezu kwezincinane.8 Kothi ezweni lonke, utsho uYehova, izahlulo ezibini kulo zinqanyulwe zife, esesithathu sihlale kulo.9 Ndosizisa emlilweni esesithathu, ndibanyibilikise njengokunyibilikiswa kwesilivere, ndibacikide njengokucikidwa kwegolide. Bona baya kunqula igama lam, ndibaphendule mna; ndiya kuthi, Ngabantu bam bona; bathi bona, Yehova, unguThixo wethu.
