Haggai 1
1 [I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bisheedii lixaad, maalinteedii kowaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo waxaa loogu soo dhiibay Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel oo ahaa taliyihii dalka Yahuudah, iyo Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo ahaa wadaadka sare, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
Rabbiga ciidammadu sidanuu u hadlaa oo wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkanu waxay yidhaahdaan, Wakhtigii weli lama gaadhin, wakhtigii guriga Rabbiga la dhisi lahaa weli lama gaadhin.
3 Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay oo wuxuu yidhi,
4 “It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
Ma idiin tahay wakhti aad ku hoyataan guryihiinna saqafka loo yeelay, iyadoo guriganu uu dunsan yahay?
5 [I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.
6 You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
Wax badan baad beerateen, laakiinse in yar baad soo gurateen, wax baad cuntaan, laakiinse innaba kama dheregtaan, wax baad cabtaan, laakiinse innaba kama wabaxdaan, dhar baad xidhataan, laakiinse innaba ma diirsataan, oo kii mushahaaro soo qaataana wuxuu mushahaarada u soo qaata inuu kiish daloolan ku rito.
7 [So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.
8 [Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Buurta fuula, oo alwaax ka keena, oo guriga dhisa, oo anna waan ku farxi doonaa, oo kolkaasaan ammaanmi doonaa.
9 You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad filanayseen wax badan, laakiinse waxay noqdeen in yar, oo markaad intaas gurigii keenteenna anigu waan afuufay. Waa maxay sababtu? Maxaa yeelay, gurigaygii baa dunsan oo idinkana midkiin kastaaba wuxuu u ordaa gurigiisa.
10 It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
Haddaba idinka daraaddiin ayaa samadii u diidday sayaxeedii oo dhulkiina wuu diiday midhihiisii.
11 I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
Oo anigu abaar baan u yeedhay, oo waxaan ku soo dejiyey dhulka, iyo buuraha, iyo hadhuudhka, iyo khamriga, iyo saliidda, iyo waxaa dhulka ka soo baxa, iyo dadka, iyo duunyada, iyo hawsha gacmaha oo dhan.
12 Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
Markaasaa Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel, iyo wadaadkii sare oo ahaa Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq, iyo dadka intiisii hadhay oo dhammu waxay addeeceen codkii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, iyo erayadii Nebi Xaggay, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah ayaa isaga soo diray, oo dadkiina Rabbiga hortiisa ayaa cabsi ku gashay.
13 Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
Markaasaa Xaggay oo ahaa wargeeyihii Rabbiga dadkii u sheegay farriintii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idinla joogaa.
14 [So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
Kolkaasaa Rabbigu kiciyey ruuxii Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel oo ahaa taliyihii dalka Yahuudah, iyo ruuxii Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo ahaa wadaadka sare, iyo ruuxii dadka intiisa hadhay oo dhanba, oo intay yimaadeen ayay ka shaqeeyeen gurigii Rabbiga ciidammada oo Ilaahooda ah,
15 [They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
oo taasuna waxay dhacday Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bishii lixaad, maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad.
