In year two of Darius the king in the month sixth on day one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel [the] governor of Judah and to Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great saying.
2 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda ti ikinyu rĩa gwakĩra Jehova nyũmba.’”
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying the people this they have said not a time to come [the] time of [the] house of Yahweh to be rebuilt.

And it came [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Haggai the prophet saying.
4 “Anga nĩ ihinda rĩanyu inyuĩ ene rĩa gũikara nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mbaũ rĩrĩa nyũmba ĩno yakwa ĩikarĩte ĩrĩ nyanangĩku?”
¿ [does] a time [belong] to You you to dwell in houses your covered and the house this [is] desolate.
5 Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
And therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts set heart your on ways your.
6 Mũhaandĩte irio nyingĩ, no mũkagetha o tũnini. Mũrĩĩaga no mũtihũũnaga. Mũnyuuaga no mũtinyootokaga. Mwĩhumbaga nguo no mũtiiguaga ũrugarĩ. Ningĩ ũrĩa ũthũkũmaga, aanyiita mũcaara wake awĩkagĩra mũhuko ũrĩ na marima.”
You have sown much and you have brought little you have eaten and not to satiety you have drunk and not to become drunk you have dressed and not to be warm to him and the [one who] earns wages [is] earning wages to a bag pierced.
7 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩcũraniei wega ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩtariĩ.
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts set heart your on ways your.
8 Ambatai irĩma-inĩ mũgĩĩre mbaũ, mũũke mũnjakĩre nyũmba, nĩgeetha niĩ ndĩmĩkenagĩre na nduĩke wa gũtĩĩagwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Go up the hill country and you will bring wood and rebuild the house so I may take pleasure in it (so let me be honored *Q(K)*) he says Yahweh.
9 Mwerĩgagĩrĩra uumithio mũingĩ, no rĩrĩ, mũkĩona o kĩndũ kĩnini. Kĩrĩa mwainũkirie, ngĩkĩũmbũra na mĩhũmũ yakwa. Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndeekire ũguo nĩkĩ? Ndeekire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba yakwa, ĩrĩa ĩikarĩte ĩrĩ nyanangĩku, rĩrĩa o ũmwe wanyu arahangʼĩra maũndũ ma nyũmba yake mwene.
You turned to look to much and there! little and you brought [it] the house and I blew on it because of what? [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts because of house my which it [is] desolate and you [are] running each to own house his.
10 Nĩ ũndũ wanyu, igũrũ nĩrĩregete gũita ime, nayo thĩ ĩkarega na maciaro mayo.
There-fore on you they have withheld ([the] heavens *L(abh)*) from dew and the land it has withheld produce its.
11 Nĩndatũmire bũrũri wage mbura mĩgũnda-inĩ na irĩma-inĩ, o na ngĩũmia ngano, na ngĩniina ndibei ya mũhihano na maguta na kĩrĩa gĩothe thĩ ĩciaraga, na ngĩnyiihia andũ na mahiũ, na ngĩthũkia wĩra wa moko manyu.”
And I have summoned a drought on the land and on the mountains and on the grain and on the new wine and on the fresh oil and on [that] which it will bring forth the ground and on humankind and on the livestock and on all [the] toil of hands.
