< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second yeere of King Darius, in the sixt moneth, the first day of the moneth, came ye worde of the Lord (by the ministery of the Prophet Haggai) vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, a prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie 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 the Lord of hostes, saying, This people say, The time is not yet come, that the Lords House should be builded.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda ti ikinyu rĩa gwakĩra Jehova nyũmba.’”
3 Then came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩũka na kanua ka mũnabii Hagai ĩkĩũria atĩrĩ,
4 Is it time for your selues to dwell in your sieled houses, and this House lie waste?
“Anga nĩ ihinda rĩanyu inyuĩ ene rĩa gũikara nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mbaũ rĩrĩa nyũmba ĩno yakwa ĩikarĩte ĩrĩ nyanangĩku?”
5 Now therefore thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
6 Ye haue sowen much, and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye clothe you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge.
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 sayth the Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
8 Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build this House, and I wil be fauourable in it, and I will be glorified, sayth the Lord.
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 lo, it came to litle: and when ye brought it home, I did blowe vpon it. And why, sayth the Lord of hostes? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye runne euery man vnto his owne 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 the heauen ouer you stayed it selfe from dewe, and the earth stayed her fruite.
Nĩ ũndũ wanyu, igũrũ nĩrĩregete gũita ime, nayo thĩ ĩkarega na maciaro mayo.
11 And I called for a drought vpon the land, and vpon the mountaines, and vpon the corne, and vpon the wine, and vpon the oyle, vpon all that the ground bringeth foorth: both vpon men and vpon cattell, and vpon 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 When Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest with all the remnant of the people, heard the voyce of the Lord their God, and the wordes of the Prophet Haggai (as the Lord their God had sent him) then the people did feare before the Lord.
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 spake Haggai the Lords messenger in the Lords message vnto the people, saying, I am with you, sayth the Lord.
Ningĩ Hagai mũtũmwo wa Jehova akĩheana ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya Jehova kũrĩ andũ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.”
14 And the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Zerubbabel, the sonne of Shealtiel a prince of Iudah, and the spirit of Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came, and did the worke in the House of the Lord of hostes 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 foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of King Darius,
Kwarĩ mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna, mweri wa gatandatũ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa gũthamaka kwa Dario.
