Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
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 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Pèp sa a di: “Lè a poko rive; lè pou rebati kay SENYÈ a.”’”
3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
Èske se lè pou nou menm, pou nou rete nan kay panno nou pandan kay sila a rete nan movèz eta?
5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes.
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 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah.
Monte sou mòn yo, pote bwa pou rebati tanp lan pou M kapab pran plezi e jwenn glwa ladann,” pale SENYÈ a.
9 Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to 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 over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
Akoz sa, akoz nou menm syèl la te vin ralanti nan lawouze li, e latè te vin refize pwodwi fwi li.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the 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 And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people feared before Jehovah.
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 Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Answit Aggée, mesaje SENYÈ a, te pale nan komisyon SENYÈ a, bay pèp la. Li te di, “Mwen avèk nou, deklare SENYÈ a.”
14 And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of Jehovah 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 in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
nan venn-katriyèm jou sizyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane a Darius, wa a.
