Haggai 2
1 a ranar ashirin da ɗaya ga watan bakwai, maganar Ubangiji ta zo ta wurin annabi Haggai cewa,
On October 17 [of that year], Yahweh gave [me], the prophet Haggai, [another] message.
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,
[The message was that I should] say this to Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and to the other people who were still alive [in Jerusalem]:
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?
“Do any of you remember how glorious our former temple was? [If you do, ] what does it look like to you now? It must seem like nothing at all.
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.
But now the Commander of the armies of angels says to [all of you], to Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of you people who live in this nation, ‘[Do not be discouraged; ] be strong [DOU], and work [to build this new temple], because I will (be with/help) you.
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.’
My Spirit remains among you, like I promised your [ancestors] when they left Egypt. [So] do not be afraid!’”
6 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ba da jimawa ba zan sāke girgiza sammai da kuma ƙasa, teku da busasshiyar ƙasa.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Soon I will shake the sky and the earth, the oceans and the land again.
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.
I will shake [again the people of] all the nations, and as a result they will bring their treasures [to this temple]. I will fill this temple with [my] glory.
8 ‘Da zinariya da azurfa duka nawa ne,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
The silver and the gold [that they own] are [really] mine, [so they will bring them to me].
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.”
[Then] this temple will be more glorious than the former/previous [temple was]. And I will cause things to go well for you all. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
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 December 18 of that year, Yahweh gave [another] message to [me], the prophet Haggai.
11 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku tambayi firist abin da doka ta ce.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels said to me: “Ask the priests [this question] about what is written in the laws [of Moses about sacrifices]:
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 one [of you priests takes from the altar some] meat that was sacrificed and is carrying it in his robes, if his robe touches [some] bread or stew or wine or [olive] oil or some other food, does that food also become (holy/acceptable for a sacrifice)?’” [When he said that to] the priests, they replied, “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.”
Then Haggai asked them, “If someone becomes unacceptable to God by touching a corpse, and [then he] touches any of those foods, will the food [also] become unacceptable to God?” The priests replied, “Yes.”
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.
Then Haggai replied, “Yahweh says [this]: ‘It is the same with you people and with this nation. Everything that you do and [all the sacrifices] that you all offer are unacceptable to me [because of the sins that you have committed].
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.
Think about what has been happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of my temple.
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 expected [to harvest] 20 bushels [of grain, you harvested] only ten bushels. When someone went to a [big] wine vat to get 50 gallons [of wine], there were only 20 [gallons in the vat].
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 sent (blight/hot winds) and mildew and hail to destroy all your crops. But still you did not return to me.
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.
Starting from this day, December 18, the day when [you] have laid the foundation of my [new] temple, continue to think carefully [about your situation].
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.’”
Is there now [RHQ] [any grain] seed left in your barns? [No, because you have eaten the small amount that you harvested]. And there is no fruit on your grapevines and fig trees and pomegranate [trees] and olive trees. But, from now on, I will bless you!’”
20 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa annabi Haggai sau na biyu a rana ta ashirin da huɗu ga wata cewa,
On that same day, Yahweh gave another message to me.
21 “Ka faɗa wa Zerubbabel gwamnan Yahuda cewa zan girgiza sammai da ƙasa.
[He said, ] “Tell Zerubbabel the governor of Judah that I am going to shake the sky and the earth.
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.
I will end the power of the kings of [many] nations [DOU]. I will cause their chariots and their drivers, their horses and [the soldiers] who are riding on them to be destroyed. [What will happen is that I will cause the soldiers] to kill each other with their swords.
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.”
Zerubbabel, you serve [me well]. So [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, declare that [like kings wear] signet rings [to show that they have authority to rule people], I will appoint you and cause you [to have authority to rule]. I will do that because I have chosen you. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
