< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, saying,
Tamy taom-paha-roe’ i Daria­vese mpanjakay, amy volam-paha-eneñey, amy valoha’ i volañey, le niheo amy Zerobabele ana’ i Sealtiele mpifehe’ Iehodà naho am’ Iehosoa ana’ Iehotsadake mpisorombey ty tsara’ Iehovà añamy Kagày mpitokiy, nanao ty ti-hoe:
2 “Yahweh of hosts says this: These people say, 'It is not time for us to come or to build Yahweh's house.'”
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, Manao ty hoe ondaty retoañe, Mboe tsy tondroke i àndroy, ty andro hamboareñe ty anjomba’ Iehovà.
3 Then the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Niheo eo amy zao añamy Kagày mpitokiy ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses, while this house lies ruined?
Sam-piagaregaña’ areo amo akiba’ areo soa tinemetseo hao henaneo, ie mangoakoake ty anjomba toy?
5 So now Yahweh of hosts says this: Consider your ways!
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i màroy, Itsakoreo o sata’ areoo:
6 You have sown much seed, but bring in little harvest; you eat but do not have enough; you drink but cannot get drunk. You wear clothes but cannot warm yourselves, and the wage earner earns money only to put it into a bag full of holes!
Bey ty tinongi’ areo fa kede ty nivokareñe; mikama fe tsy ànjañe; minoñe fe tsy etsake; misikiñe fe tsy mafana; vaho mandrambe tambe an-koroñe loadoake ty mpitoroñe.
7 Yahweh of hosts says this: “Consider your ways!
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, Vetsevetseo o sata’ areoo.
8 Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build my house; then I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified!—says Yahweh.”
Mionjona mb’amy vohitsey mb’eo naho añandeso hatae le amboaro i anjombay hahafale ahy, hahazoako engeñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
9 “You looked for much, but behold! you have brought little home, for I blew it away! Why?” declares Yahweh of hosts. “Because my house lies in ruins, while every one of you is working on his own house.
Mipay maro nahareo fe tsy ampeampe ty oniñe; ie endese’ areo moly le tiofeko añe. Akore arè? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Toe napoke ho kòake i kivohokoy, ie songa milay mb’añ’akiba’e mb’eo.
10 Because of this the heavens withhold the dew from you, and the earth withholds its produce.
Toe ie ty añajà’ i likerañey zono, naho itambozora’ i taney havokarañe.
11 I have summoned a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, upon the grain and upon the new wine, upon the oil and upon the harvest of the earth, upon men and upon beasts, and upon all the labor of your hands!”
Nitokavako hasalikoañe ty tane toy naho o vohi­tseo naho o vare-boleo naho o divaio naho o menakeo naho o famokara’ ty tane toio, naho ondatio naho o hareo vaho ze fonga fitoloñam-pitàñe.
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, because Yahweh their God had sent him and the people feared the face of Yahweh.
Aa le jinanji’ i Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele, naho Iehosoa, ana’ Iehotsadake, mpisorom-bey, naho ze sehanga’ ondaty iaby ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo naho o tsara naboa’ i Kagày mpitoky, namantoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareoo, vaho nañeveñe am’ Iehovà ondatio.
13 Then Haggai, the messenger of Yahweh, spoke Yahweh's message to the people and said, “I am with you!—this is Yahweh's declaration!”
Le nitaroñe’ i Kagày ira’ Iehovà am’ ondatio ty nafe’ Iehovà: Ama’ areo iraho, hoe t’Iehovà.
14 So Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they went and worked on the house of Yahweh of hosts, their God
Nitroboe’ Iehovà amy zao ty arofo’ i Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele, mpifele’ Iehodà naho ty arofo’ Iehosoa, ana’ Iehotsadake, mpisorom-bey naho o tro’ ondaty sehanga’e iabio, Vaho niheo mb’eo nitoloñe amy anjom­ba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ iareoy,
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
amy andro faha-roapolo-efats-ambi’ i volam-pah-ene’ i taom-paharoe’ i Dariavese mpanjakaiy.
