< Haggai 2 >
1 a ranar ashirin da ɗaya ga watan bakwai, maganar Ubangiji ta zo ta wurin annabi Haggai cewa,
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first [day] of the month, the Lord spoke by Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
2 “Ka yi magana da Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel wanda yake gwamna a Yahuda, da Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak, babban firist, da kuma dukan raguwar mutane. Ka tambaye su ka ce,
Speak now to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, saying,
3 ‘Wane ne a cikinku ya ragu da ya ga wannan gida a darajarsa ta dā? Yaya yake a gare ku a yanzu? Bai yi kamar a bakin kome ba, ko ba haka ba?
Who [is there] of you that saw this house in her former glory? and how do you now look upon it, as it were nothing before your eyes?
4 Amma yanzu ka ƙarfafa, ya Zerubbabel,’ in ji Ubangiji. ‘Ka ƙarfafa, ya Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak, babban firist. Ku ƙarfafa, dukanku mutanen ƙasar,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘ku yi aiki. Gama ina tare da ku,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Yet now be strong, O Zorobabel, says the Lord; and strengthen yourself, O Jesus the high priest, the son of Josedec; and let all the people of the land strengthen themselves, says the Lord, and work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty;
5 ‘Wannan shi ne alkawarin da na yi da ku a lokacin da kuka fito daga Masar. Ruhuna kuwa yana tare da ku. Kada ku ji tsoro.’
and my Spirit remains in the midst of you; be of good courage.
6 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ba da jimawa ba zan sāke girgiza sammai da kuma ƙasa, teku da busasshiyar ƙasa.
For thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
7 Zan girgiza dukan al’ummai, marmarin kowace al’umma kuma zai taso, sa’an nan zan cika gidan nan da ɗaukaka,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
and I will shake all nations, and the choice [portions] of all the nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty.
8 ‘Da zinariya da azurfa duka nawa ne,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Mine is the silver, and mine the gold, says the Lord Almighty.
9 ‘Ɗaukakar gidan nan na yanzu za tă fi ɗaukakar gidan nan na dā,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. ‘A wannan wuri kuma zan ba da salama,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.”
For the glory of this house shall be great, the latter more than the former, says the Lord Almighty: and in this place will I give peace, says the Lord Almighty, even peace of soul for a possession to every one that builds, to raise up this temple.
10 A ranar ashirin da huɗu ga watan tara, a shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Dariyus, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa annabi Haggai cewa,
On the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
11 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku tambayi firist abin da doka ta ce.
Thus says the Lord Almighty; Inquire now of the priest [concerning] the law, saying,
12 Idan mutum yana riƙe da naman da aka keɓe a rigarsa, sa’an nan kuma wannan rigar ta taɓa burodi, ko dafaffen abinci, ko ruwan inabi, ko mai, ko kowane irin abinci, wannan zai sa abin yă zama tsarkake?’” Firistoci suka amsa, suka ce, “A’a.”
If a man should take holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and the skirt of his garment should touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Sa’an nan Haggai ya ce, “In mutumin da ya ƙazantar da kansa ta wurin taɓa gawa, ya taɓa wani daga cikin waɗannan abubuwa, za su ƙazantu?” Firistoci suka amsa, suka ce, “I, zai ƙazantu.”
And Aggaeus said, If a defiled person who is unclean by reason of a dead body, touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
14 Sai annabi Haggai ya ce, “‘Haka yake da wannan mutane da kuma wannan al’umma a gabana,’ in ji Ubangiji. ‘Duk abin da suke yi da kuma dukan abin da suke miƙawa ƙazantattu ne.
And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whoever shall approach them, shall be defiled [because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and you have hated him that reproved in the gates].
15 “‘Yanzu kuwa sai ku yi la’akari da wannan daga wannan rana zuwa gaba, ku tuna yadda al’amura suke kafin a ɗora wani dutse bisa wani a haikalin Ubangiji.
And now consider, I pray you, from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord, what manner of men you were.
16 A lokacin, idan wani ya tafi wurin tsibin da zai auna mudu ashirin, sai yă iske mudu goma kawai. Idan kuma wani ya tafi wurin matse ruwan inabi don yă ɗebo lita hamsin, sai yă tarar da lita ashirin kawai.
When you cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were [only] ten measures of barley: and you went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were [but] twenty.
17 Na mai da aikin da kuka sha wahala kuka yi ya zama banza ta wurin saukar da burtuntuna, da fumfuna, da ƙanƙara, duk da haka ba ku juyo gare ni ba,’ in ji Ubangiji.
I struck you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet you returned not to me, says the Lord.
18 ‘Daga wannan rana zuwa gaba, wato, rana ta ashirin da huɗu ga watan tara, ku lura da ranar da aka kafa harsashin haikalin Ubangiji. Ku lura da kyau.
Set your hearts now [to think] from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid;
19 Akwai sauran irin da ya rage a rumbu? Har yanzu, kuringar inabi da itacen ɓaure, rumman da itacen zaitun ba su ba da’ya’ya ba tukuna. “‘Amma daga wannan rana zuwa gaba zan sa muku albarka.’”
consider in your hearts, whether [this] shall be known on the corn-floor, and whether yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-trees that bear no fruit [are with you]: from this day will I bless [you].
20 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa annabi Haggai sau na biyu a rana ta ashirin da huɗu ga wata cewa,
And the word of the Lord came the second time to Aggaeus the prophet, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
21 “Ka faɗa wa Zerubbabel gwamnan Yahuda cewa zan girgiza sammai da ƙasa.
Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, saying, I shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
22 Zan hamɓarar da gadajen mulki in kuma ragargaza ƙarfin ƙasashen al’ummai. Zan tumɓuke kekunan yaƙi da mahayansu; dawakai da mahayansu za su mutu, kowane ta wurin takobin ɗan’uwansu.
and I will overthrow the thrones of kings, and I will destroy the power of the kings of the nations; and I will overthrow chariots and riders; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword striving against his brother.
23 “‘A wannan rana,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, ‘Zan ɗauke ka, bawana Zerubbabel ɗan Sheyaltiyel,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘in kuma maishe ka kamar zoben hatimi, gama na zaɓe ka,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.”
In that day, says the Lord Almighty, I will take you, O Zorobabel, the son of Salathiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will make you as a seal: for I have chosen you, says the Lord Almighty.
