Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak 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, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni kun, ‘Yeroon itti manni Waaqayyoo ijaaramu amma illee hin geenye’ jedha.”
3 Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo karaa Haagee Raajichaatiin akkana jedhee dhufe:
4 Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
“Yeroon kun yeroo isin utuu manni kun diigamee jiruu manneen keessan kanneen miidhagfaman keessa jiraattaniidhaa?”
5 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
Ammas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yaada keessan karaa keessan irra kaaʼadhaa.
6 Ye have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, —and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Karaa keessan hubadhaa.
8 Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
Tulluutti ol baʼaa; muka fidaa; manicha ijaaraa; anis isatti nan gammada; nan kabajamas” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, — Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to 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 Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back her fruit;
Kanaafuu sababii keessaniif samiiwwan fixeensa isaanii dhowwatan; laftis midhaan ishee dhowwatte.
11 And I have called for 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, bringeth forth, —and upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the labour of the 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 Then hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, —and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.
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 Then spake Haggai the messenger of Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
Ergasii Haageen ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun akkana jedhee ergaa Waaqayyoo kana sabatti hime: “Ani isin wajjinan jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
14 Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, —and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts 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 twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, —in the second year of Darius the king.
kunis bara Daariyoos mootichaa keessaa waggaa lammaffaatti, bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa jaʼaffaatti taʼe.
