Aggaeus 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, 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 says the Lord Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not come to build the house of the Lord.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni kun, ‘Yeroon itti manni Waaqayyoo ijaaramu amma illee hin geenye’ jedha.”
3 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo karaa Haagee Raajichaatiin akkana jedhee dhufe:
4 Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is desolate?
“Yeroon kun yeroo isin utuu manni kun diigamee jiruu manneen keessan kanneen miidhagfaman keessa jiraattaniidhaa?”
5 And now thus says the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you.
Ammas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yaada keessan karaa keessan irra kaaʼadhaa.
6 You have sown much, but brought in little; you have eaten, and are not satisfied; you have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, you have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered [them] into a bag full of 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 says the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Karaa keessan hubadhaa.
8 Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and be glorified, says the Lord.
Tulluutti ol baʼaa; muka fidaa; manicha ijaaraa; anis isatti nan gammada; nan kabajamas” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 You looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and you run everyone into 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 shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce.
Kanaafuu sababii keessaniif samiiwwan fixeensa isaanii dhowwatan; laftis midhaan ishee dhowwatte.
11 And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labors of their 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 Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listened to the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of the prophet Aggaeus, according as the Lord their God had sent him to them, and the people feared before the Lord.
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 And Aggaeus the Lord's messenger spoke among the messengers of the Lord to the people, [saying], I am with you, says the Lord.
Ergasii Haageen ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun akkana jedhee ergaa Waaqayyoo kana sabatti hime: “Ani isin wajjinan jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people; and they went in, and wrought in the house of the Lord Almighty 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 on 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.
