6 “Esiae nye nya si Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔ, ‘Madidi o la, maʋuʋu dziƒo kple anyigba, atsiaƒu kple ƒuƒuiƒe siaa.
For thus he says Yahweh of hosts yet one [time] [is] a little it and I [am] about to shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry ground.
7 Maʋuʋu dukɔwo katã, woatsɔ woƒe kesinɔnuwo ava afii eye gbedoxɔ la ayɔ kple ŋutikɔkɔe.’ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
And I will shake all the nations and they will come [the] precious thing of all the nations and I will fill the house this splendor he says Yahweh of hosts.

13 Hagai gabia be, “Ekema ne ame aɖe ka asi ame kuku ŋuti, eye wòzu ame makɔmakɔ, hafi wòka asi nuɖuɖu siawo ƒe ɖe ŋuti la, ɖe nu siawo hã zu nu makɔmakɔa?” Nunɔlaawo ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, wozu nu makɔmakɔwo.”
And he said Haggai if he will touch a [person] unclean of a corpse all these [things] ¿ will it become unclean and they answered the priests and they said it will become unclean.
14 Azɔ Hagai gblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa be nenema ame siawo kple dukɔ sia le le nye ŋkume. Nu sia nu si miewɔ kple nu sia nu si mietsɔ sa vɔe la ŋuti mekɔ o.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And he answered Haggai and he said [is] thus the people this and [is] thus the nation this before me [the] utterance of Yahweh and [is] thus all [the] work of hands their and [that] which they will bring near there [is] unclean it.
15 “‘Eya ta, mibu ta me le nu siawo ŋu nyuie tso fifia yina, mibu ale si nuwo nɔ hafi woɖo kpe ɖe kpe dzi hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu ŋu.
