5 Nuko Hagayi+ umuhanuzi na Zekariya+ umwuzukuru wa Ido+ umuhanuzi bavuga ubuhanuzi mw’izina+ ry’Imana ya Isirayeli yari hejuru yabo+, babwira Abayuda bari muri Yuda n’i Yeruzalemu. 2 Ico gihe ni ho Zerubabeli+ mwene Sheyalutiyeli+ na Yeshuwa+ mwene Yehozadaki bahaguruka bagatangura gusubira kwubaka inzu y’Imana yari i Yeruzalemu; bari kumwe n’abahanuzi b’Imana+ babafasha. 3 Ico gihe Tatenayi+ buramatari wo hakurya ya rwa Ruzi+ na Shetari-bozenayi na bagenzi babo baza kuri bo, bababwira bati: “Ni nde yabahaye itegeko ryo kwubaka iyo nzu no kurangiza ico kintu cubakishijwe ibigiga+?” 4 Maze bababwira bati: “Amazina y’abagabo bariko bubaka iyi nyubakwa ni ayahe?” 5 Kandi ijisho+ ry’Imana yabo ryari ku+ bagabo b’inararibonye b’Abayuda, ntibabahagarika gushika bimenyeshejwe Dariyo maze urwandiko rwemewe rujanye n’ico kintu rukagaruka.

“Kuri Dariyo umwami:
“Gira amahoro+! 8 Umwami namenye yuko twagiye mu ntara y’ubutware+ ya Yuda, ku nzu ya ya Mana ihambaye+; iriko yubakishwa amabuye atembagazwa* gushika mu kibanza cayo, kandi n’ibiti biriko birashirwa mu mpome; ico gikorwa bariko baragikora babishashaye kandi kiriko kiratera imbere mu maboko yabo. 9 Twarabajije rero abo bagabo b’inararibonye. Ibi ni vyo twababwiye: ‘Ni nde yabahaye itegeko ryo kwubaka iyo nzu no kurangiza ico kintu cubakishijwe ibigiga+?’ 10 Vyongeye, twarababajije amazina yabo ngo tuyakumenyeshe, kugira ngo twandike amazina y’abagabo babarongōye+.
11 “Ibi rero ni vyo batwishuye: ‘Turi abasavyi b’Imana y’amajuru n’isi+, kandi turiko dusubira kwubaka inzu yari yarubatswe kera, ubu hakaba haciye imyaka myinshi, iyo umwami ahambaye wa Isirayeli yubatse akayirangiza+. 12 Ariko kubera yuko ba data bateye ishavu+ Imana y’amajuru, yarabatanze+ mu kuboko kwa Nebukadinezari+ umwami wa Babiloni Umukaludaya+, maze uno abomora iyi nzu+ yongera atwara abantu mu bunyagano i Babiloni+. 13 Yamara rero, mu mwaka wa mbere wa Kuro+ umwami wa Babiloni, Kuro umwami yaratanze itegeko ryo gusubira kwubaka iyi nzu y’Imana+. 14 Vyongeye, ivyombo vy’inzahabu n’ifeza+ vyo mu nzu y’Imana Nebukadinezari yari yarakuye mu rusengero+ rwari i Yeruzalemu akabijana mu rusengero rw’i Babiloni, ivyo vyombo Kuro umwami+ yarabisohoye mu rusengero rw’i Babiloni, maze bihabwa Sheshibazari+, rino rikaba ari izina ry’uwo yagize buramatari+. 15 Hanyuma amubwira ati: “Tora ibi vyombo+. Genda ubishire mu rusengero ruri i Yeruzalemu, kandi inzu y’Imana isubire kwubakwa mu kibanza cayo+.” 16 Igihe uwo Sheshibazari yaza, yarashinze imishinge y’inzu y’Imana+ yari i Yeruzalemu; kuva ico gihe gushika ubu, iriko isubira kwubakwa, mugabo ntirarangira+.’
17 “Nuko rero, nimba umwami abona ko ari vyiza, nihagirwe itohoza+ mu nzu y’amatunga y’umwami iri ng’aho i Babiloni, barabe ko vyoba ari ivy’ukuri yuko hari itegeko+ ryatanzwe na Kuro umwami ryo gusubira kwubaka iyo nzu y’Imana i Yeruzalemu; maze ingingo y’umwami ijanye n’ico kintu ayiturungikire.”
