Aje 1
1 Nan dezyèm ane Darius, wa a, nan premye jou sizyèm mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa pwofèt Aggée a Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, gouvènè a Juda, e a Josué, fis la a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la. Li te di:
In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord through means of Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Pèp sa a di: “Lè a poko rive; lè pou rebati kay SENYÈ a.”’”
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, This people have said, The time is not yet come, the time for the Lord's house to be built.
3 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Èske se lè pou nou menm, pou nou rete nan kay panno nou pandan kay sila a rete nan movèz eta?
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth in ruins?
5 Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
Now therefore, thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart unto your ways.
6 Nou te simen anpil, men rekòlt la te piti. Nou manje, men nou pa manje ase. Nou bwè, men li manke asi. Nou mete rad, men yo pa kont pou envite fredi, epi sila ki jwenn salè li a, li mete salè li a nan yon bous ki plen twou.”
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but it doth not satisfy hunger; ye drink, but it doth not appease thirst; ye clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he that earneth something earneth it for a bag with holes.
7 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart to your ways.
8 Monte sou mòn yo, pote bwa pou rebati tanp lan pou M kapab pran plezi e jwenn glwa ladann,” pale SENYÈ a.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house: that I may take pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith the Lord.
9 “Nou chache anpil, men gade byen, ti kras vin jwenn nou; lè nou te mennen l lakay nou, Mwen soufle sou li pou fè l ale. Poukisa?” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Akoz kay Mwen ki rete an movèz eta a, pandan nou tout ap byen okipe pwòp lakay nou.
[Till now] ye looked for much, and lo, it came to be little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. For what cause? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lieth in ruins, while ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Akoz sa, akoz nou menm syèl la te vin ralanti nan lawouze li, e latè te vin refize pwodwi fwi li.
Therefore do the heavens for your sake withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth her products.
11 Mwen te rele yon gwo sechrès vini sou peyi a, sou mòn yo, sou grenn sereyal yo, sou diven nèf la, sou lwil la, sou tout pwodwi latè yo, sou lòm, sou bèt ak sou tout zèv men nou yo.”
And I called for a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the corn, and over the new wine, and over the oil, and over what the ground bringeth forth, and over men, and over cattle, and over all the labor of the hands.
12 Konsa, Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la ak Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la ak tout retay a pèp la, te obeyi vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a, e pawòl a Aggée yo, pwofèt la, akoz se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a ki te voye li. Epi pèp la te montre lakrent pou SENYÈ a.
Then hearkened Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were afraid of the Lord.
13 Answit Aggée, mesaje SENYÈ a, te pale nan komisyon SENYÈ a, bay pèp la. Li te di, “Mwen avèk nou, deklare SENYÈ a.”
Then said Haggai the messenger of the Lord by the Lord's message unto the people saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 Konsa, SENYÈ a te twouble lespri Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, gouvènè a Juda a, lespri Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la ak lespri retay pèp la; epi yo te vini travay nan kay SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye yo a,
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did work on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God.
15 nan venn-katriyèm jou sizyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane a Darius, wa a.
On the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius.
