Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe, mweri wa mũgwanja, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire mũnabii Hagai, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
2 "Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
“Arĩria Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli, mwathi wa bũrũri wa Juda, na Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na andũ othe arĩa matigaire, ũmoorie atĩrĩ,
3 'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn't it in your eyes as nothing?
‘Nũũ wanyu ũtigarĩte wonire nyũmba ĩno na riiri wayo wa mbere? Mũrona ĩhaana atĩa rĩu? Githĩ mũtiramĩona ĩhaana ta kĩndũ gĩa tũhũ?’
4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says YHWH. 'Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' says YHWH, 'and work, for I am with you,' says YHWH of hosts.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩa na hinya, wee Zerubabeli, na ũgĩe na hinya, wee Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, gĩai na hinya inyuĩ andũ othe a bũrũri, na mũrute wĩra, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.’ Ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
5 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. 'Do not be afraid.'
‘Ũguo nĩguo ndaarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, na Roho wakwa egũtũũra thĩinĩ wanyu. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.’
6 For this is what YHWH of hosts says: 'Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;
“Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ; ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ rĩngĩ, na thingithie iria na thĩ nyũmũ.
7 and I will shake all nations, and they will come with the treasures of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says YHWH of hosts.
Nĩngathingithia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nake ũrĩa wĩriragĩrio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩagooka, na niĩ nĩngaiyũria nyũmba ĩno riiri,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,' says YHWH of hosts.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Betha nĩ yakwa, o na thahabu nĩ yakwa.
9 'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says YHWH of hosts; 'and in this place will I give peace,' says YHWH of hosts."
Riiri wa nyũmba ĩno ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũnene gũkĩra riiri wa nyũmba ĩrĩa ya mbere,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga. ‘Na handũ haha nĩngaheana thayũ,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna, mweri wa kenda, mwaka wa keerĩ wa gũthamaka kwa Dario, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire mũnabii Hagai akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
11 "Thus says YHWH of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
“Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũriai athĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa watho ugĩte:
12 'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."
Mũndũ angĩkuua nyama nyamũre ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yake, naruo ruuno rũhutie mũgate, kana thubu, kana ndibei, kana maguta, o na kana irio ingĩ-rĩ, irio icio ciatuĩka nyamũre?’” Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
13 Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The priests answered, "It will be unclean."
Ningĩ Hagai akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutania na kĩimba, angĩhutia kĩndũ kĩmwe gĩa icio-rĩ, kĩndũ kĩu no kĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu?” Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, no kĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu.”
14 Then Haggai answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says YHWH; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
Ningĩ Hagai akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo noguo andũ aya na rũrĩrĩ rũrũ matariĩ maitho-inĩ makwa; ũrĩa wothe meekaga na kĩrĩa gĩothe marutaga kũu, kĩrĩ na thaahu.
15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of YHWH.
“‘Na rĩrĩ, mwĩcũraniei wega ũhoro ũyũ kuuma ũmũthĩ, mũtaranie ũrĩa maũndũ maatariĩ mbere ya rĩrĩa gũtaarĩ ihiga rĩaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ wa rĩngĩ mwako-inĩ wa hekarũ ĩno ya Jehova.
16 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩathiire hĩba-inĩ ya ngano ya ithimi mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, aakoraga no ithimi ikũmi. Mũndũ o wothe angĩathiire itangi-inĩ rĩa ndibei erĩgĩrĩire gũtahia ithimi mĩrongo ĩtano, aakoraga o mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me,' says YHWH.
Ndathũkirie wĩra wothe wa moko manyu na mbaa, na mbuu na mbura ya mbembe, no inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
18 'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of YHWH's temple was laid, consider it.
Kuuma ũmũthĩ na gũthiĩ na mbere, kuuma mũthenya ũyũ wa mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya, mweri wa kenda, mwĩcũraniei wega ũhoro wa mũthenya ũrĩa mũthingi wa hekarũ ya Jehova wakirwo. Ta mwĩcũraniei wega:
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven't brought forth. From this day will I bless you.'"
Nĩ hakĩrĩ o na mbeũ ĩtigarĩte ikũmbĩ-inĩ? Nginyagia rĩu, mĩthabibũ, na mĩkũyũ, na mĩkomamanga, o na mĩtamaiyũ ndĩrĩ ĩragĩa na maciaro. “‘Kuuma ũmũthĩ nĩndĩrĩmũrathimaga.’”
20 The word of YHWH came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Hagai hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya wa mweri ũcio, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
21 "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.
“Arĩria Zerubabeli mwathi wa Juda, ũmwĩre atĩ nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ.
22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
Nĩngangʼaũrania itĩ cia ũnene, na hehenje hinya wa mothamaki ma thĩ ngʼeni. Nĩngakurumania ngaari cia ita, na atwarithia a cio; na ndungumanie mbarathi hamwe na ahaici a cio, o mũndũ arũndwo na rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũrũ wa nyina.
23 In that day, says YHWH of hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says YHWH, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says YHWH of hosts."
“Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngakwamũkĩra, wee ndungata yakwa Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Ningĩ nĩngagũtua ta gĩcũhĩ gĩakwa gĩa kĩara, gĩkurure rũũri rwakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũthuurĩte,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
