Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, 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 speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda ti ikinyu rĩa gwakĩra Jehova nyũmba.’”
3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩũka na kanua ka mũnabii Hagai ĩkĩũria atĩrĩ,
4 Is it time for you, O all of you, to dwell in your covered over 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 says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
6 All of you have sown much, and bring in little; all of you eat, but all of you have not enough; all of you drink, but all of you are not filled with drink; all of you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into 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 says the LORD 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, says the LORD.
Ambatai irĩma-inĩ mũgĩĩre mbaũ, mũũke mũnjakĩre nyũmba, nĩgeetha niĩ ndĩmĩkenagĩre na nduĩke wa gũtĩĩagwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 All of you looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when all of you brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? says the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and all of you run every man unto 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 the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her 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 brings forth, and upon men, 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 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear 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 spoke Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, says 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 up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD 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.
