< Haggai 2 >
1 In the seuenthe monethe, in the oon and twentith dai of the monethe, the word of the Lord was maad in the hond of Aggei, the profete, and seide,
Katika siku ya ishirini na moja ya mwezi wa saba, neno la Bwana lilikuja kupitia nabii Hagai, kusema:
2 Speke thou to Sorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, the duyk of Juda, and to Jhesu, the gret preest, the sone of Josedech, and to othere of the puple, and seie thou,
“Sema na Zerubabeli mwana wa Shealtieli, mtawala wa Yuda, kuhani mkuu Yoshua mwana wa Yehosadaki, na mabaki ya watu. Uwaulize,
3 Who in you is left, that sai this hous in his firste glorie? and what seen ye this now? whether it is not thus, as if it be not bifore youre iyen?
‘Ni nani miongoni mwenu aliyebaki ambaye aliiona hii nyumba katika utukufu wake wa mwanzo? Sasa inaonekanaje kwenu? Je, haionekani kwenu kama si kitu?
4 And now, Sorobabel, be thou coumfortid, seith the Lord, and Jhesu, greet preest, sone of Josedech, be thou coumfortid, and al the puple of the lond, be thou coumfortid, seith the Lord of oostis; and do ye, for Y am with you, seith the Lord of oostis.
Lakini sasa uwe imara, ee Zerubabeli,’ asema Bwana. ‘Kuwa imara, ee kuhani mkuu Yoshua mwana wa Yehosadaki. Mwe imara, enyi watu wote wa nchi,’ asema Bwana, ‘na mfanye kazi. Kwa kuwa mimi nipo pamoja nanyi,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
5 The word that Y couenauntide with you, whanne ye wenten out of the lond of Egipt, and my Spirit schal be in the myddil of you.
‘Hili ndilo nililoagana nanyi mlipotoka katika nchi ya Misri. Pia Roho wangu anadumu katikati yenu. Msiogope.’
6 Nyle ye drede, for the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Yit o litil thing is, and Y schal moue heuene, and erthe, and see, and drie lond;
“Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: ‘Baada ya muda kidogo kwa mara nyingine nitazitikisa mbingu na nchi, bahari na nchi kavu.
7 and Y schal moue alle folkis, and the desirid to alle folkis schal come; and Y schal fille this hous with glorie, seith the Lord of oostis.
Nitatikisa mataifa yote, nacho kile kinachotamaniwa na mataifa yote kitakuja, nami nitaujaza utukufu katika nyumba hii,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
8 Myn is siluer, and myn is gold, seith the Lord of oostes.
‘Fedha ni mali yangu na dhahabu ni mali yangu,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
9 The glorie of this laste hous schal be greet, more than the firste, seith the Lord of oostis. And in this place Y schal yyue pees, seith the Lord of oostis.
‘Utukufu wa nyumba hii ya sasa utakuwa mkubwa kuliko utukufu wa ile nyumba ya mwanzoni,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote. ‘Na mahali hapa nitawapa amani,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.”
10 In the foure and twentithe dai of the nynthe monethe, in the secounde yeer of kyng Daryus, the word of the Lord was maad to Aggei, the profete, and seide, The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis,
Katika siku ya ishirini na nne ya mwezi wa tisa, katika mwaka wa pili wa utawala wa Mfalme Dario, neno la Bwana lilikuja kwa nabii Hagai:
11 Axe thou preestis the lawe, and seie thou,
“Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: ‘Ulizeni makuhani jinsi sheria inavyosema:
12 If a man takith halewyd fleisch in the hem of his clothing, and touchith of the hiynesse therof breed, ether potage, ether wyn, ether oile, ether ony mete, whether it schal be halewid? Sotheli preestis answeriden, and seiden, Nai.
Kama mtu akibeba nyama iliyowekwa wakfu katika pindo la vazi lake, kisha lile pindo likagusa mkate au mchuzi, divai, mafuta au chakula kingine, je, kitu hicho kitakuwa kimewekwa wakfu?’” Makuhani wakajibu, “La hasha.”
13 And Aggei seide, If a man defoulid in soule touchith of alle these thingis, whether it schal be defoulid? And prestis answeriden, and seiden, It schal be defoulid.
Kisha Hagai akasema, “Je, kama mtu aliyetiwa unajisi kwa kugusa maiti akigusa mojawapo ya vitu hivi, kitu hicho kitakuwa kimetiwa unajisi?” Makuhani wakajibu, “Ndiyo, huwa kimenajisiwa.”
14 And Aggei answeride, and seide, So is this puple, and so is this folc bifor my face, seith the Lord, and so is al werk of her hondis; and alle thingis whiche thei offren there, schulen be defoulid.
Kisha Hagai akasema, “‘Basi ndivyo walivyo machoni pangu hawa watu na taifa hili,’ asema Bwana. ‘Lolote wafanyalo na chochote watoacho hapo ni najisi.
15 And nowe putte ye youre hertis, fro this dai and aboue, bifor that a stoon on a stoon was put in temple of the Lord,
“‘Sasa fikirini kwa uangalifu kuanzia leo na kuendelea: tafakarini jinsi mambo yalivyokuwa kabla halijawekwa jiwe moja juu ya lingine katika Hekalu la Bwana.
16 whanne ye wenten to an heep of twenti buischels, and there weren maad ten; ye entriden to the pressour, that ye schulden presse out fifti galouns, and there weren maad twenti.
Wakati mtu alipoendea lundo la nafaka la vipimo ishirini, kulikuwa na vipimo kumi tu. Wakati mtu alipoendea pipa la mvinyo ili kuchota vipimo hamsini, kulikuwa na vipimo ishirini tu.
17 Y smoot you with brennynge wynd; and with myldew, and hail, alle the werkis of youre hondis; and ther was noon in you that turnede ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Kazi zenu zote za mikono nilizipiga kwa ukame, ukungu na mvua ya mawe, lakini hata hivyo, hamkunigeukia mimi,’ asema Bwana.
18 Putte ye youre hertis fro this dai, and in to comynge, fro the foure and twentithe dai of the nynthe monethe, fro the dai in whiche foundementis of the temple of the Lord ben castun, putte ye on youre herte.
‘Tangu leo na kuendelea, kuanzia siku hii ya ishirini na nne ya mwezi wa tisa, tafakarini siku ambayo msingi wa Hekalu la Bwana uliwekwa. Tafakarini:
19 Whether now seed is in buriownyng? and yit vineyerd, and fige tre, and pomgarnade, and the tre of olyue flouride not.
Je, bado kuna mbegu iliyobakia ghalani? Mpaka sasa, hakuna mzabibu au mtini, mkomamanga wala mzeituni uliozaa tunda. “‘Kuanzia leo na kuendelea, nitawabariki.’”
20 Fro this dai Y schal blesse. And the word of the Lord was maad the secounde tyme to Aggei, in the foure and twentithe dai of the monethe,
Neno la Bwana likamjia Hagai kwa mara ya pili katika siku ya ishirini na nne ya mwezi kusema:
21 and seide, Spek thou to Sorobabel, duik of Juda, and seie thou, Y shal moue heuene and erthe togidere, and Y schal distrie the seet of rewmes,
“Mwambie Zerubabeli mtawala wa Yuda kwamba nitazitikisa mbingu na nchi.
22 and Y schal al to-breke the strengthe of rewme of hethene men, and schal distrie a foure horsid carte, and the stiere therof; and horsis schulen go doun, and stieris of hem, a man bi swerd of his brother.
Nitapindua viti vya enzi vya falme, na kuziharibu kabisa nguvu za falme za kigeni. Nitapindua magari ya vita pamoja na waendeshaji wake; farasi na wapanda farasi wataanguka, kila mmoja kwa upanga wa ndugu yake.
23 In that dai, seith the Lord of oostis, thou Sorobabel, sone of Salatiel, my seruaunt, Y schal take thee, seith the Lord; and Y schal putte thee as a signet, for Y chees thee, seith the Lord of oostis.
“‘Katika siku ile,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, ‘nitakuchukua wewe, mtumishi wangu Zerubabeli mwana wa Shealtieli,’ asema Bwana. ‘Nitakufanya kama pete yangu ya muhuri, kwa kuwa nimekuchagua,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.”
