Ngomnyaka wesibili wenkosi uDariyu, ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesithupha, ilizwi likaThixo lafika ngomphrofethi uHagayi lisiya kuZerubhabheli, indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lakuJoshuwa, indodana kaJozadaki, umphristi omkhulu:
2 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Ame siawo le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Ɣeyiɣi mede ne woagbugbɔ nye gbedoxɔ atu o.’”

3 Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va to Nyagblɔɖila Hagai dzi be,
Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo lafika ngomphrofethi uHagayi lisithi:
4 “Ɖe ɣeyiɣi de be miawo ya mianɔ aƒe nyuiwo me esi nye gbedoxɔ ƒe glikpowo gale nenema koa?”
“Kuyisikhathi senu lina ngokwenu ukuba lihlale ezindlini zenu ezinhle, kodwa indlu le ilokhu ilunxiwa na?”
5 Azɔ la Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Mibu ta me nyuie tso miaƒe zɔzɔme ŋuti.

Lihlanyele okunengi kodwa livuna okulutshwana. Liyadla, kodwa kalisuthi. Liyanatha, kodwa kalikholwa. Liyagqoka izigqoko, kodwa kalifudumali. Lihola imiholo liyifake esikhwameni esivuzayo.”
7 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi, “Mibu ta me nyuie tso miaƒe zɔzɔme ŋu.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: “Cabangani kuhle ngezindlela zenu.
8 Miyi ɖe towo dzi ne miatso atiwo vɛ ne miatsɔ agbugbɔ atu nye gbedoxɔe. Ekema makpɔ ŋudzedze le eŋuti wòade bubu ŋunye.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Khwelani ezintabeni lehlise izigodo lakhe indlu ukuze ngithokoze ngayo njalo ngidunyiswe,” kutsho uThixo.
9 “Miele mɔ kpɔm na nu geɖe, ke nu ʋɛ aɖe ko miekpɔ, eye ne mietsɔe va aƒe mee la, meɖoa ƒuƒu ɖee, eye metɔna ɖe mia si o. Nu ka tae?” Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Elabena nye gbedoxɔ ganye gli gbagbã li ko, ke mia dome ame sia ame le ʋiʋlim be miatso aƒe nyuiwo na mia ɖokuiwo.
“Kade lilindele okunengi, kodwa khangelani, kusuke kwaba yingcosana. Elikulethe ekhaya, mina ngikuphephulele khatshana. Kungani na?” kutsho uThixo uSomandla. “Kungenxa yendlu yami elokhu ilunxiwa, ngesikhathi lina, omunye lomunye wenu, ebambeke ngendlu yakhe.
10 Esia tae dziƒowo te zãmu mi eye anyigba gbe nukuwo nana mi ɖo.
Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yenu amazulu asegodle amazolo lomhlaba amabele.
11 Meɖe gbe be ku neɖi le agblewo kple towo dzi. Kuɖiɖi ana bli, wain yeye, ami kple miaƒe agblemenu bubuwo nagblẽ. Kuɖiɖi la nava amegbetɔwo, lãwo kple amegbetɔwo ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi.”
Ngilethe ukoma emasimini lasezintabeni, emabeleni, ewayinini elitsha, emafutheni lakukho konke okuvela emhlabathini, ebantwini lasenkomeni kanye lasemsebenzini wezandla zenu.”

13 Le esia megbe la, Hagai, Yehowa ƒe ame dɔdɔ, tsɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedeasi sia na ameawo, “Meli kpli mi,” Yehowae gblɔe.
Emva kwalokho, uHagayi isithunywa sikaThixo, wanika abantu ilizwi likaThixo leli: “Ngilani,” kutsho uThixo.
