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,
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa gũthamaka kwa Dario, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa gatandatũ, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli, mwathi wa bũrũri wa Juda, na kũrĩ Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na kanua ka mũnabii Hagai makĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda ti ikinyu rĩa gwakĩra Jehova nyũmba.’”
3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩũka na kanua ka mũnabii Hagai ĩkĩũria atĩrĩ,
4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
“Anga nĩ ihinda rĩanyu inyuĩ ene rĩa gũikara nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mbaũ rĩrĩa nyũmba ĩno yakwa ĩikarĩte ĩrĩ nyanangĩku?”
5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
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.
Mũhaandĩte irio nyingĩ, no mũkagetha o tũnini. Mũrĩĩaga no mũtihũũnaga. Mũnyuuaga no mũtinyootokaga. Mwĩhumbaga nguo no mũtiiguaga ũrugarĩ. Ningĩ ũrĩa ũthũkũmaga, aanyiita mũcaara wake awĩkagĩra mũhuko ũrĩ na marima.”
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
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.
Ambatai irĩma-inĩ mũgĩĩre mbaũ, mũũke mũnjakĩre nyũmba, nĩgeetha niĩ ndĩmĩkenagĩre na nduĩke wa gũtĩĩagwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
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.
Mwerĩgagĩrĩra uumithio mũingĩ, no rĩrĩ, mũkĩona o kĩndũ kĩnini. Kĩrĩa mwainũkirie, ngĩkĩũmbũra na mĩhũmũ yakwa. Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndeekire ũguo nĩkĩ? Ndeekire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba yakwa, ĩrĩa ĩikarĩte ĩrĩ nyanangĩku, rĩrĩa o ũmwe wanyu arahangʼĩra maũndũ ma nyũmba yake mwene.
10 Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
Nĩ ũndũ wanyu, igũrũ nĩrĩregete gũita ime, nayo thĩ ĩkarega na maciaro mayo.
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.
Nĩndatũmire bũrũri wage mbura mĩgũnda-inĩ na irĩma-inĩ, o na ngĩũmia ngano, na ngĩniina ndibei ya mũhihano na maguta na kĩrĩa gĩothe thĩ ĩciaraga, na ngĩnyiihia andũ na mahiũ, na ngĩthũkia wĩra wa moko manyu.”
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.
Ningĩ Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli, na Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na matigari mothe ma andũ, magĩathĩkĩra mũgambo wa Jehova Ngai wao, o na ndũmĩrĩri ya mũnabii Hagai, tondũ nĩ Jehova Ngai wao wamũtũmĩte. Nao andũ acio magĩĩtigĩra Jehova.
13 Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Ningĩ Hagai mũtũmwo wa Jehova akĩheana ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya Jehova kũrĩ andũ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.”
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,
Nake Jehova akĩarahũra roho wa Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli, mwathi wa Juda, na roho wa Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, o na roho wa andũ othe arĩa maatigarĩte, nao magĩũka, makĩambĩrĩria kũruta wĩra wa nyũmba ya Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wao.
15 in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
Kwarĩ mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna, mweri wa gatandatũ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa gũthamaka kwa Dario.
