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,
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 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.”
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda ti ikinyu rĩa gwakĩra Jehova nyũmba.’”
3 And there is a word of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩũka na kanua ka mũnabii Hagai ĩkĩũria atĩrĩ,
4 “Is it time for you to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?”
“Anga nĩ ihinda rĩanyu inyuĩ ene rĩa gũikara nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mbaũ rĩrĩa nyũmba ĩno yakwa ĩikarĩte ĩrĩ nyanangĩku?”
5 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
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.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
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.
Ambatai irĩma-inĩ mũgĩĩre mbaũ, mũũke mũnjakĩre nyũmba, nĩgeetha niĩ ndĩmĩkenagĩre na nduĩke wa gũtĩĩagwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
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,
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, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
Nĩ ũndũ wanyu, igũrũ nĩrĩregete gũita ime, nayo thĩ ĩkarega na maciaro mayo.
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.”
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 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.
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 And Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
Ningĩ Hagai mũtũmwo wa Jehova akĩheana ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya Jehova kũrĩ andũ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.”
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,
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 twenty-fourth 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.
