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 Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua 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, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.
3 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand 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 a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
5 Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
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, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, —and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with holes.
7 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
8 Monte sou mòn yo, pote bwa pou rebati tanp lan pou M kapab pran plezi e jwenn glwa ladann,” pale SENYÈ a.
Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
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.
When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, — Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to 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.
Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back her fruit;
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 have called for drought, upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the corn and upon the new wine and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground, bringeth forth, —and upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the labour 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 son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, —and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.
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 spake Haggai the messenger of Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
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,
Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, —and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts their God:
15 nan venn-katriyèm jou sizyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane a Darius, wa a.
on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, —in the second year of Darius the king.
