8 Mu mwaka wa kabiri uhereye igihe bagereye ku nzu y’Imana y’ukuri yari i Yerusalemu, mu kwezi kwa kabiri,+ Zerubabeli+ mwene Salatiyeli+ na Yeshuwa+ mwene Yehosadaki, n’abandi bavandimwe babo b’abatambyi n’Abalewi n’abandi bose bari baravuye mu bunyage+ bakaza i Yerusalemu batangira imirimo, kandi bashyiraho Abalewi+ kugira ngo bahagararire imirimo yo kubaka inzu ya Yehova,+ uhereye ku bafite imyaka makumyabiri gusubiza hejuru.

2 Ni bwo Zerubabeli+ mwene Salatiyeli+ na Yeshuwa+ mwene Yehosadaki bahagurutse bakongera kubaka inzu y’Imana yahoze i Yerusalemu; kandi abahanuzi b’Imana+ bari kumwe na bo babafasha.

12 Nuko Zerubabeli+ mwene Salatiyeli na Yosuwa mwene Yehosadaki,+ umutambyi mukuru, n’abandi bantu bose batega amatwi Yehova Imana yabo,+ bumva amagambo umuhanuzi Hagayi+ yari yababwiye atumwe na Yehova Imana yabo. Hanyuma abantu bagira ubwoba bitewe na Yehova.+

4 “‘Ariko none komera Zerubabeli we,’ ni ko Yehova avuga, ‘kandi nawe Yosuwa mwene Yehosadaki, umutambyi mukuru, komera.’+

“‘Mukomere namwe abatuye mu gihugu mwese,’ ni ko Yehova avuga, ‘kandi mukore.’+

“‘Ndi kumwe namwe,’+ ni ko Yehova nyir’ingabo avuga.

3 Nuko Imana inyereka Yosuwa+ umutambyi mukuru, ahagaze imbere y’umumarayika wa Yehova, Satani+ ahagaze iburyo bwa Yosuwa kugira ngo amurwanye.+
