Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Jiʼa torbaffaa keessaa, bultii digdamii tokkoffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee karaa Haagee raajichaatiin dhufe;
2 Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto the remnant of the people, saying: —
“Zarubaabel ilma Sheʼaltiiʼeel bulchaa Yihuudaatti, Iyyaasuu ilma Yehoozaadaaq lubicha ol aanaattii fi hambaa uummataatti dubbadhu. Akkanas jedhii isaan gaafadhu;
3 Who is there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
‘Isin keessaa namni mana kana ulfina isaa kan duraa sana argee amma iyyuu jiru eenyu? Inni amma maal isinitti fakkaata? Waanuma faayidaa hin qabne tokko isinitti hin fakkaatuu?
4 Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Yaa Zarubaabel, egaa amma jabaadhu’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Yaa Iyyaasuu ilma Yehoozaadaaq lubicha ol aanaa atis jabaadhu. Isinis sabni biyya kanaa hundinuu jabaadhaatii hojjedhaa’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ani isin wajjinan jiraatii’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
5 The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
‘Yeroo isin biyya Gibxii baatan sanatti, kakuun ani isin wajjin galee kanaa dha. Hafuurri koo isin gidduu jira. Isin hin sodaatinaa.’
6 For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land;
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: ‘Ani ammas yeroo gabaabaa keessatti deebiʼee samiiwwanii fi lafa, galaanaa fi lafa goggogaa nan raasa.
7 And I will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Ani saboota hunda nan raasa; qabeenyi sabootaa hundi ni dhufa; anis mana kana ulfinaan nan guuta’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
8 Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
‘Meetiin kan koo ti; warqeenis kan koo ti’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
9 Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
‘Ulfinni mana ammaa kun ulfina mana duraa sanaa ni caala’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. ‘Anis iddoo kanatti nagaa nan kenna’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
Waggaa lammaffaa bulchiinsa Daariyoos keessa, bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa saglaffaatti, dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Haagee raajichaa dhufe;
11 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; ‘Waan seerri jedhu luboota gaafadhu;
12 If a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
yoo namni tokko foon qulqulleeffamee Waaqaaf kenname fuudhee dachaa wayyaa isaa keessatti baatee wayyaan sun buddeena yookaan ittoo, daadhii wayinii, zayitii yookaan nyaata gosa biraa tuqe, nyaanni sun ni qulqulleeffamaa?’” Luboonnis, “Waawuu” jedhanii deebisaniif.
13 Then said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
Ergasii Haageen akkana jedhe; “Namni reeffa tuqee xuraaʼe tokko yoo wantoota kanneen keessaa tokko tuqe wanni sun ni xuraaʼaa?” Luboonni sunis, “Eeyyee, wanni sun ni xuraaʼa” jedhanii deebisaniif.
14 Then answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever they offer there, is, defiled.
Haageen akkana jedhe; “‘Uummanni kunii fi sabni kun fuula koo duratti akkasuma’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Wanni isaan hojjetan hundii fi wanni isaan achitti dhiʼeessan hundi xuraaʼaa dha.
15 Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
“‘Egaa guyyaa kanaa jalqabaatii of eeggannaadhaan qalbeeffadhaa; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti haala utuu dhagaan tokko dhagaa kaan irra hin kaaʼamin dura ture hubadhaa.
16 So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be twenty.
Namni kam iyyuu yeroo gara tuullaa safartuu digdamaa dhufetti safartuu kudhan qofa argate. Namni kam iyyuu yeroo daadhii wayinii safartuu shantama waraabbachuuf gara boolla itti wayinii cuunfanii dhaqetti safartuu digdama qofa argate.
17 I smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Ani hojii harka keessanii hunda waagiidhaan, awwaaroo fi cabbiidhaan nan rukute; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine’ jedha Waaqayyo.
18 Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
Guyyaa kanaa jalqabaatii jechuunis guyyaa digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa saglaffaa kanaa jalqabaatii hamma guyyaa hundeen mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo buufameetti of eeggannaadhaan qalbeeffadhaa.
19 Is the seed yet in the store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I bless you.
Amma iyyuu sanyiin gombisaa keessatti hafe tokko iyyuu jiraa? Hamma ammaatti mukni wayiniitii fi mukni harbuu, roomaanii fi mukni ejersaa ija hin naqanne. “‘Ani guyyaa kanaa jalqabee isin nan eebbisa.’”
20 Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa sanaatti yeroo lammaffaa akkana jedhee gara Haagee dhufe;
21 Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, the heavens and the earth;
“Akka ani samiiwwanii fi lafa raasuuf jiru Zarubaabel bulchaa Yihuudaatti himi.
22 And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man by the sword of his brother.
Ani teessoo moototaa nan garagalcha; humna mootummoota biyya alaas nan barbadeessa. Ani gaariiwwanii fi ooftota isaanii nan garagalcha; fardeenii fi warra fardeen yaabbatan ni kufu; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii goraadee obboleessa isaaniitiin ni kufu.
23 On that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
“‘Guyyaa sana’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu; ‘Yaa tajaajilaa koo Zarubaabel ilma Sheʼaltiiʼeel, ani sin fudhadha’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Ani waanan si filadheef akka qubeelaa chaappaa koo sin godhadha’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
