Haggai 1
1 In year two of Darius the king in the month sixth on day one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel [the] governor of Judah and to Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great saying.
Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’okufuga kwa kabaka Daliyo, ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi ogw’omukaaga, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi okutegeeza Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ow’essaza lya Yuda, ne Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu nti:
2 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying the people this they have said not a time to come [the] time of [the] house of Yahweh to be rebuilt.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye nti, “Abantu bano boogera nti, ‘Ekiseera tekinnatuuka okuddaabiriza ennyumba ya Mukama.’”
3 And it came [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Haggai the prophet saying.
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nga kyogera nti;
4 ¿ [does] a time [belong] to You you to dwell in houses your covered and the house this [is] desolate.
“Kino kye kiseera mmwe okubeera mu nnyumba zammwe enkole obulungi, naye ennyumba eyo n’erekebwa nga kifulukwa?”
5 And therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts set heart your on ways your.
Kale nno bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Mweddeko ku neeyisa yammwe.
6 You have sown much and you have brought little you have eaten and not to satiety you have drunk and not to become drunk you have dressed and not to be warm to him and the [one who] earns wages [is] earning wages to a bag pierced.
Musimbye bingi naye ne mukungula bitono; mulya naye temukkuta; munywa naye ennyonta tebaggwaako; mwambala naye temubuguma; mukolera empeera naye ze mukoze muziteeka mu nsawo ejjudde ebituli.”
7 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts set heart your on ways your.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Mweddeko ku neeyisa yammwe.
8 Go up the hill country and you will bring wood and rebuild the house so I may take pleasure in it (so let me be honored *Q(K)*) he says Yahweh.
Mwambuke mu nsozi muleeteyo embaawo muzimbe ennyumba ngisanyukire, ngulumizibwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 You turned to look to much and there! little and you brought [it] the house and I blew on it because of what? [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts because of house my which it [is] desolate and you [are] running each to own house his.
“Mwasuubira bingi, naye mulaba bwe muvuddemu ebitono. Bye mwaleeta eka, nabifuumuula. Mumanyi ensonga? bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. Kubanga buli muntu afa ku nnyumba ye naye ennyumba yange mugigayaaliridde.
10 There-fore on you they have withheld ([the] heavens *L(abh)*) from dew and the land it has withheld produce its.
Eggulu kyerivudde liziyizibwa okuleeta omusulo, n’ettaka n’okuleeta ne litaleeta bibala byalyo.
11 And I have summoned a drought on the land and on the mountains and on the grain and on the new wine and on the fresh oil and on [that] which it will bring forth the ground and on humankind and on the livestock and on all [the] toil of hands.
Nasindika ekyeya ku nnimiro ne ku nsozi, ku mmere ey’empeke ne ku wayini omuggya, ku mafuta ne ku buli bibala eby’ettaka, ku bantu ne ku nsolo, ne ku mirimu gyonna egy’engalo.”
12 And he listened Zerubbabel - [the] son of Shealtiel and Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great and all - [the] remnant of the people to [the] voice of Yahweh God their and to [the] words of Haggai the prophet just as he had sent him Yahweh God their and they were afraid the people of Yahweh.
Awo Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ne Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki, ye yali kabona asinga obukulu, n’abantu bonna abaasigalawo ne bagondera eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda waabwe, n’obubaka bwa nnabbi Kaggayi, kubanga Mukama Katonda waabwe ye yamutuma. Abantu ne batya Mukama.
13 And he said Haggai [the] messenger of Yahweh by [the] message of Yahweh to the people saying I [am] with you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Awo Kaggayi omubaka wa Mukama n’ategeeza abantu obubaka obwava eri Mukama nti, “Ndi wamu nammwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
14 And he stirred up Yahweh [the] spirit of Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel [the] governor of Judah and [the] spirit of Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great and [the] spirit of all [the] remnant of the people and they came and they did work in [the] house of Yahweh of hosts God their.
Awo Mukama n’akubiriza omutima gwa Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ow’essaza lya Yuda, n’omutima gwa Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki, kabona asinga obukulu, n’emitima egy’abantu bonna abaasigalawo, ne bajja ne batandika omulimu ku nnyumba ya Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda waabwe,
15 On day twenty and four of the month in the sixth [month] in year two of Darius the king.
ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya mu mwezi ogw’omukaaga mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’okufuga kwa kabaka Daliyo.
