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,
Bara bulchiinsa Daariyoos Mootichaa keessaa waggaa lammaffaatti, guyyaa tokkoffaa jiʼa jaʼaffaatti, dubbiin Waaqayyoo karaa Haagee Raajichaatiin gara ilma Sheʼaltiiʼeel gara Zarubaabel bulchaa Yihuudaatii fi gara Iyyaasuu ilma Yehoozaadaaq lubicha ol aanaa akkana jedhee dhufe:
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni kun, ‘Yeroon itti manni Waaqayyoo ijaaramu amma illee hin geenye’ jedha.”
3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo karaa Haagee Raajichaatiin akkana jedhee dhufe:
4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
“Yeroon kun yeroo isin utuu manni kun diigamee jiruu manneen keessan kanneen miidhagfaman keessa jiraattaniidhaa?”
5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Ammas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yaada keessan karaa keessan irra kaaʼadhaa.
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.
Isin sanyii baayʼee facaafattanii waan xinnoo haammattaniirtu. Isin ni nyaattu; garuu hin quuftan. Ni dhugdu; garuu dheebuu hin baatan. Wayyaa ni uffattu; garuu isinitti hin hoʼu. Namni mindaa fudhatu akkuma nama mindaa isaa korojoo tarsaʼaa keessa kaaʼatuu ti.”
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Karaa keessan hubadhaa.
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.
Tulluutti ol baʼaa; muka fidaa; manicha ijaaraa; anis isatti nan gammada; nan kabajamas” jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
“Isin waan baayʼee abdattan; garuu ni xinnaate. Isin manatti galfattan ani immoo nan afuufe. Kun maaliif taʼee?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Kun sababii utuu manni koo diigamee jiruu tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana keessaniitti fiigdaniif.
10 Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
Kanaafuu sababii keessaniif samiiwwan fixeensa isaanii dhowwatan; laftis midhaan ishee dhowwatte.
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.
Anis lafa qotiisaa fi tulluuwwaniitti, midhaanii fi daadhii wayinii haaraatti, zayitii fi waan lafti kennitu hundatti, namaa fi loonitti, hojii dadhabbii harka keessaniittis hongee waameera.”
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.
Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeel, Iyyaasuun ilmi Yehoozaadaaq lubichi ol aanaanii fi hambaawwan uummataa hundi sagalee Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi ergaa Haagee raajichaatiif ajajaman; Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isa ergeeraatii. Uummannis Waaqayyoon sodaate.
13 Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Ergasii Haageen ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun akkana jedhee ergaa Waaqayyoo kana sabatti hime: “Ani isin wajjinan jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
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,
Akkasiin Waaqayyo hafuura Zarubaabel ilma Sheʼaltiiʼeel bulchaa Yihuudaa, hafuura Iyyaasuu ilma Yehoozaadaaq lubicha ol aanaatii fi hafuura hambaa uummata hundaa kakaase. Isaanis dhufanii mana Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu, mana Waaqa isaanii ijaaruu jalqaban;
15 in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
kunis bara Daariyoos mootichaa keessaa waggaa lammaffaatti, bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa jaʼaffaatti taʼe.
