³ Ino nkaambo nzi Jehova ncaakamutumina Hagai? Nkaambo kakaambo aaka: Mu 537 B.C.E., Koresi wakapa mulawo uuzumizya ba Juda kupiluka kwabo kuyooyakulula ŋanda ya Jehova. Pele lino mwakali mumwaka wa 520 B.C.E., alimwi tempele lyakali kule kutegwa limanizigwe. Myaka yoonse eeyi ba Juda bakalekela kukazigwa abasinkondonyina akutabikkila maano kwabo alimwi akuyandisya lubono kubapa kwaalilwa kubona kaambo keni ncobakapilusigwa.—Ezr. 1:1-4; 3:10-13; 4:1-24; Hag. 1:4.

⁴ Kweelana ambwaatondezya makani, mbobakayakila buyo ntalisyo yatempele (mu 536 B.C.E.) mpoonya “bantu bacisi bakatalika kulesya maanza aabantu ba-Juda milimo, akubakataazya mukuyaka. Nkabela bakalyuulila basikubagwasya kukujaya makanze aabo.” (Ezr. 4:4, 5) Kumamanino, mu 522 B.C.E., basikubakazya aaba ibatakali ba Juda bakazwidilila mukulesya mulimo mumulawo. Mwakali mumwaka wabili wabulelo bwamwami waku Persia Dariyo Hystaspis, nkokuti mu 520 B.C.E., Hagai naakatalika kusinsima, alimwi eeci cakakulwaizya ba Juda kuutalika alimwi mulimo wakuyaka tempele. Babone boobo, beendelezi basimukobonyina bakalembela Dariyo lugwalo kumulomba kuti abakasye; Dariyo wakaubukulusya mulawo ngwaakapa Koresi akuzumizya ba Juda ikuyaambele ikwiindana ambobakali kuyanda basinkondonyina.

¹³ Milumbe ya Jehova yone njaakabandika kwiinda muli Hagai yakali kugwasya kuba Juda bakali kupona kuciindi eeco. Bakakulwaizigwa kubeleka mulimo camoyo omwe, alimwi mumyaka yone acisela, tempele lyakamanizigwa ikuti lisumpule bukombi bwakasimpe mu Israyeli. (Ezr. 6:14, 15) Jehova wakaulongezya mulimo wabo ngobakabeleka cabusungu. Cakali ciindi ncoona eeci cakuyaka tempele Dariyo mwami waku Persia naakazilanga-langa zilembedwe zyacisi akutobela mulawo ngwaakapede Koresi. Aboobo mulimo wakutempele wakamanizigwa kwiinda mulugwasyo lwakwe.—Ezr. 6:1-13.

¹⁴ Ibusinsimi bulijisi alulayo lubotu lubeleka mumazuba eesu. Munzila iili buti? Bukankaizya mbociyandika kumuntu kubikka ziyandika zyabukombi bwa Leza kumbele lyazintu nzyayanda walo. (Hag. 1:2-8; Mt. 6:33) Alimwi butondezya kaambo kakuti kuliyanda kulajazya, akuti tacigwasyi kuyandisya lubono; luumuno azilongezyo zya Jehova nzezivwubya. (Hag. 1:9-11; 2:9; Tus. 10:22) Alimwi bukankaizya kuti mulimo wa Leza ulikke tausalazyi muntu ccita kuti kausalala akucitwa camoyo woonse, akuti taweelede kusofwaazigwa abukkale busofweede. (Hag. 2:10-14; Kol. 3:23; Rom. 6:19) Butondezya kuti babelesi ba Leza tabeelede kutyompwa, ikulanga “kumazuba mabotu aakaindi,” pele beelede kulanga kumbele, ‘kababikkilide maano kumilimo yabo’ akusolekesya kuleta bulemu kuli Jehova. Naa bacita oobo Jehova uyooba ambabo.—Hag. 2:3, 4; 1:7, 8, 13; Flp. 3:13, 14; Rom. 8:31.
