Haggai 1
1 In the second year of the reign of Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, stating
Nan dezyèm ane Darius, wa a, nan premye jou sizyèm mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa pwofèt Aggée a Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, gouvènè a Juda, e a Josué, fis la a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la. Li te di:
2 that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Pèp sa a di: “Lè a poko rive; lè pou rebati kay SENYÈ a.”’”
3 Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?”
Èske se lè pou nou menm, pou nou rete nan kay panno nou pandan kay sila a rete nan movèz eta?
5 Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
6 You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
Nou te simen anpil, men rekòlt la te piti. Nou manje, men nou pa manje ase. Nou bwè, men li manke asi. Nou mete rad, men yo pa kont pou envite fredi, epi sila ki jwenn salè li a, li mete salè li a nan yon bous ki plen twou.”
7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
8 Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.
Monte sou mòn yo, pote bwa pou rebati tanp lan pou M kapab pran plezi e jwenn glwa ladann,” pale SENYÈ a.
9 You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.
“Nou chache anpil, men gade byen, ti kras vin jwenn nou; lè nou te mennen l lakay nou, Mwen soufle sou li pou fè l ale. Poukisa?” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Akoz kay Mwen ki rete an movèz eta a, pandan nou tout ap byen okipe pwòp lakay nou.
10 Therefore, on account of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth has withheld its crops.
Akoz sa, akoz nou menm syèl la te vin ralanti nan lawouze li, e latè te vin refize pwodwi fwi li.
11 I have summoned a drought on the fields and on the mountains, on the grain, new wine, and oil, and on whatever the ground yields, on man and beast, and on all the labor of your hands.”
Mwen te rele yon gwo sechrès vini sou peyi a, sou mòn yo, sou grenn sereyal yo, sou diven nèf la, sou lwil la, sou tout pwodwi latè yo, sou lòm, sou bèt ak sou tout zèv men nou yo.”
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. So the people feared the LORD.
Konsa, Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la ak Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la ak tout retay a pèp la, te obeyi vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a, e pawòl a Aggée yo, pwofèt la, akoz se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a ki te voye li. Epi pèp la te montre lakrent pou SENYÈ a.
13 Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, delivered the message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.
Answit Aggée, mesaje SENYÈ a, te pale nan komisyon SENYÈ a, bay pèp la. Li te di, “Mwen avèk nou, deklare SENYÈ a.”
14 So the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began the work on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,
Konsa, SENYÈ a te twouble lespri Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, gouvènè a Juda a, lespri Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la ak lespri retay pèp la; epi yo te vini travay nan kay SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye yo a,
15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius.
nan venn-katriyèm jou sizyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane a Darius, wa a.
