Hagai 2
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe, mweri wa mũgwanja, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire mũnabii Hagai, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day] of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2 “Arĩria Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli, mwathi wa bũrũri wa Juda, na Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na andũ othe arĩa matigaire, ũmoorie atĩrĩ,
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
3 ‘Nũũ wanyu ũtigarĩte wonire nyũmba ĩno na riiri wayo wa mbere? Mũrona ĩhaana atĩa rĩu? Githĩ mũtiramĩona ĩhaana ta kĩndũ gĩa tũhũ?’
Who [is] left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? [is it] not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
4 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩa na hinya, wee Zerubabeli, na ũgĩe na hinya, wee Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, gĩai na hinya inyuĩ andũ othe a bũrũri, na mũrute wĩra, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.’ Ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I [am] with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
5 ‘Ũguo nĩguo ndaarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ, rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, na Roho wakwa egũtũũra thĩinĩ wanyu. Tigai gwĩtigĩra.’
[According to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
6 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ; ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ rĩngĩ, na thingithie iria na thĩ nyũmũ.
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it [is] a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land; ]
7 Nĩngathingithia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nake ũrĩa wĩriragĩrio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩagooka, na niĩ nĩngaiyũria nyũmba ĩno riiri,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
8 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Betha nĩ yakwa, o na thahabu nĩ yakwa.
The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Riiri wa nyũmba ĩno ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũnene gũkĩra riiri wa nyũmba ĩrĩa ya mbere,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga. ‘Na handũ haha nĩngaheana thayũ,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
10 Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna, mweri wa kenda, mwaka wa keerĩ wa gũthamaka kwa Dario, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire mũnabii Hagai akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
In the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũriai athĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa watho ugĩte:
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests [concerning] the law, saying,
12 Mũndũ angĩkuua nyama nyamũre ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yake, naruo ruuno rũhutie mũgate, kana thubu, kana ndibei, kana maguta, o na kana irio ingĩ-rĩ, irio icio ciatuĩka nyamũre?’” Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Ningĩ Hagai akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutania na kĩimba, angĩhutia kĩndũ kĩmwe gĩa icio-rĩ, kĩndũ kĩu no kĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu?” Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, no kĩnyiitwo nĩ thaahu.”
Then said Haggai, If [one that is] unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 Ningĩ Hagai akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo noguo andũ aya na rũrĩrĩ rũrũ matariĩ maitho-inĩ makwa; ũrĩa wothe meekaga na kĩrĩa gĩothe marutaga kũu, kĩrĩ na thaahu.
Then answered Haggai, and said, So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so [is] every work of their hands; and that which they offer there [is] unclean.
15 “‘Na rĩrĩ, mwĩcũraniei wega ũhoro ũyũ kuuma ũmũthĩ, mũtaranie ũrĩa maũndũ maatariĩ mbere ya rĩrĩa gũtaarĩ ihiga rĩaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ wa rĩngĩ mwako-inĩ wa hekarũ ĩno ya Jehova.
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
16 Mũndũ o wothe angĩathiire hĩba-inĩ ya ngano ya ithimi mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, aakoraga no ithimi ikũmi. Mũndũ o wothe angĩathiire itangi-inĩ rĩa ndibei erĩgĩrĩire gũtahia ithimi mĩrongo ĩtano, aakoraga o mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
Since those [days] were, when [one] came to an heap of twenty [measures], there were [but] ten: when [one] came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty [vessels] out of the press, there were [but] twenty.
17 Ndathũkirie wĩra wothe wa moko manyu na mbaa, na mbuu na mbura ya mbembe, no inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the LORD.
18 Kuuma ũmũthĩ na gũthiĩ na mbere, kuuma mũthenya ũyũ wa mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya, mweri wa kenda, mwĩcũraniei wega ũhoro wa mũthenya ũrĩa mũthingi wa hekarũ ya Jehova wakirwo. Ta mwĩcũraniei wega:
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month, even] from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider [it].
19 Nĩ hakĩrĩ o na mbeũ ĩtigarĩte ikũmbĩ-inĩ? Nginyagia rĩu, mĩthabibũ, na mĩkũyũ, na mĩkomamanga, o na mĩtamaiyũ ndĩrĩ ĩragĩa na maciaro. “‘Kuuma ũmũthĩ nĩndĩrĩmũrathimaga.’”
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless [you].
20 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Hagai hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, mweri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya wa mweri ũcio, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
21 “Arĩria Zerubabeli mwathi wa Juda, ũmwĩre atĩ nĩngathingithia igũrũ na thĩ.
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 Nĩngangʼaũrania itĩ cia ũnene, na hehenje hinya wa mothamaki ma thĩ ngʼeni. Nĩngakurumania ngaari cia ita, na atwarithia a cio; na ndungumanie mbarathi hamwe na ahaici a cio, o mũndũ arũndwo na rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũrũ wa nyina.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngakwamũkĩra, wee ndungata yakwa Zerubabeli mũrũ wa Shealitieli,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Ningĩ nĩngagũtua ta gĩcũhĩ gĩakwa gĩa kĩara, gĩkurure rũũri rwakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũthuurĩte,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
