Haggai 1
1 A shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Sarki Dariyus, a rana ta fari ga watan shida, maganar Ubangiji ta zo ta wurin annabi Haggai zuwa ga Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel, gwamnan Yahuda, da kuma Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak, babban firist.
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Waɗannan mutane sun ce, ‘Lokaci bai yi ba tukuna da za a gina gidan Ubangiji.’”
Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time [for us] to come, the time for Jehovah’s house to be built.
3 Sa’an nan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ta wurin annabi Haggai cewa,
Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 “Ashe, lokaci ya yi da za ku zauna a ɗakunan da kuka yi da rufin katako, amma haikalin nan yana zaman kufai?”
Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste?
5 To, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Ku lura da al’amuranku.
Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
6 Kun shuka da yawa, amma kun girbe kaɗan. Kun ci, amma ba ku ƙoshi ba. Kun sha, amma ba ku kashe ƙishirwa ba. Kun sa tufafi, amma ba ku ji ɗumi ba. Kuna karɓar albashi, ya zama sai ka ce kuna zuba a hudajjen aljihu.”
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 you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
7 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Ku lura da al’amuranku.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
8 Ku haura zuwa kan duwatsu ku sauko da katakai don ku gina gidan, don ni ma in ji daɗinsa, in kuma sami ɗaukaka,” in ji Ubangiji.
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 Jehovah.
9 “Ga shi, kukan sa rai za ku sami da yawa, amma sai ku ga kun sami kaɗan. Ɗan kaɗan ɗin ma da kukan kawo gida, nakan hura shi yă tafi. Me ya sa yake faruwa haka?” In ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Saboda gidana da yake zaman kango, yayinda kowannenku yana faman gina gidansa.
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.
10 Shi ya sa, saboda ku sammai sun ƙi saukar da raɓa, ƙasa kuma ta ƙi ba da amfani.
Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
11 Na kawo fări a ƙasar, da a kan duwatsu, da a kan hatsi, da a kan dukan abin da yake tsirowa daga ƙasa, da a kan mutane, da a kan dabbobi da kuma a kan wahalar hannuwanku.”
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, 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 Sa’an nan sai Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel, da Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak, wanda yake babban firist, da kuma dukan raguwar jama’ar suka yi biyayya da muryar Ubangiji Allahnsu da kuma saƙon annabi Haggai, domin Ubangiji Allahnsu ne ya aiko shi. Mutane kuwa suka ji tsoron Ubangiji.
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people did fear before Jehovah.
13 Sai Haggai, ɗan saƙon Ubangiji, ya ba da wannan saƙo na Ubangiji ga mutane cewa, “Ina tare da ku” in ji Ubangiji.
Then spake Haggai Jehovah’s messenger in Jehovah’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
14 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya motsa zuciyar Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel, wanda yake gwamna a Yahuda, da kuma zuciyar Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak, babban firist, da kuma zukatan dukan raguwar jama’ar. Suka zo suka fara aiki a gidan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allahnsu,
And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, 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 Jehovah of hosts, their God,
15 a ranar ashirin da huɗu ga watan shida. A shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Sarki Dariyus,
in the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth [month], in the second year of Darius the king.
