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, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, 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 the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.
3 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini pa Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
Then came the word of the LORD by 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, and this house [lie] waste?
5 Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider 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 ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
7 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Konsidere chemen nou yo!
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider 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; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will 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.
Ye looked for much, and lo, [it came] to little; and when ye brought [it] home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that [is] waste, and ye run 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.
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed [from] 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 called for a drouth 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 men, and upon cattle, and upon 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before 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 spoke Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message to 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 Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and performed work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
15 nan venn-katriyèm jou sizyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane a Darius, wa a.
In the four and twentieth day of the same month, in the second year of Darius the king.
