Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
Katika mwaka wa pili wa mfalme Dario, katika mwezi wa sita, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, neno la Bwana likaja kwa kwa mkono wa nabii Haghai kwenda kwa gavana wa Yuda, Zerubabeli mwana wa Sheatieli na kuhani mkuu Joshua mwana wa Yehozadaki, kusema,
2 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, This people—they have said, The time has not come, The time the house of YHWH [is] to be built.”
“Bwana wa Majeshi asema: 'Hawa watu husema, “Si wakati wetu kuja au kujenga nyumba ya Jehova."””
3 And there is a word of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Tena neno la Bwana lilikuja kwa mkono wa nabii Haghai kusema,
4 “Is it time for you to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?”
“Je ni wakati kwenu wenyewe kuishi katika nyumba zilizokamilika, na wakati nyumba hii inaharibika?
5 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Kwa hiyo sasa Bwana wa Majeshi asema hivi: 'zitafakarini njia zenu!
6 You have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none has heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.”
Mmepanda mbengu nyingi, lakini mkaleta mavuno kidogo; mnakula lakini hamshibi, mnakunywa lakini hamkujazwa na vinywaji. Mnavaa nguo lakini hampati joto wenyewe, na mtu wa mshahara hupata pesa na kuweka kwenye mfuko wenye mashimo tu!'
7 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Bwana wa Majeshi asema haya:
8 Go up the mountain, and you have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honored,” said YHWH.
'Zitafakarini njia zetu! Pandeni milimani, mkalete mbao, na mjenge nyumba yangu; na pia nitakuwa radhi na nitatukuzwa!' Asema Bwana.
9 “Looking for much, and behold, little, And you brought [it] home, and I blew on it—why?” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “Because of My house that is desolate, And you are running—each to his house,
'Mmetazamia kupata vingi, lakini tazama! ulileta nyumbani vichache, nitavitowesha mbali! kwa nini?'- Hivi ndivyo anatamka Bwana wa Majeshi! kwa sababu nyumba yangu inakaa kwenye uharibifu, lakini kila mtu yuko radhi kwenye nyumba yake.
10 Therefore, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
Kwa sababu hii mbingu zimeshikiwa zisitoe umande kutoka kwako, na ardhi imeshikilia haizalishi.
11 And I proclaim drought on the land, And on the mountains, and on the grain, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground brings forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labor of the hands.”
Nimekuita kutoka juu ya ardhi na juu ya milima, juu ya nafaka na juu ya mzabibu mpya, juu ya mafuta na juu ya mavuno ya ardhi, juu ya watu na juu ya wanyama, na juu ya kazi zote za mikono yako.
12 And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listen to the voice of their God YHWH, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as their God YHWH had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of YHWH.
Kisha Zerubabeli mwana wa Shelitieli, na kuhani mkuu Yoshua mwana wa Yehozadaki, pamoja na mabaki ya watu, wakati sauti ya Bwana Mungu wao, na maneno ya Nabii Hagai, kwa sababu Bwana Mungu wao alikuwa amemtuma. Na watu wakaogopa uso wa Bwana.
13 And Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
Ndipo Hagai, mjumbe wa Bwana, akaongea ujumbe wa Bwana kwa watu na kusema,”'Niko pamoja na wewe!'- Hili ni tamko la Bwana.
14 And YHWH stirs up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and work in the house of YHWH of Hosts their God,
Bwana alitibua roho ya mkuu wa mkoa wa Yudah, Zerubabeli mwana wa Sheltieli, na roho ya kuhani mkuu Joshua mwana wa Yehozadaki, na roho ya masalia ya watu, kwa kiasi kwamba wakaenda kufanya kazi katika nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wa majeshi, Mungu wao.
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
katika siku ya ishirini na Mwezi wa sita, katika mwaka wa pili wa utawala wa Mfalme Dario.
