< 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 the reign of Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, stating
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Waɗannan mutane sun ce, ‘Lokaci bai yi ba tukuna da za a gina gidan Ubangiji.’”
that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”
3 Sa’an nan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ta wurin annabi Haggai cewa,
Then the word of the LORD came through 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 live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?”
5 To, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Ku lura da al’amuranku.
Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully 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.”
You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
7 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Ku lura da al’amuranku.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully 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 into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.
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.
You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.
10 Shi ya sa, saboda ku sammai sun ƙi saukar da raɓa, ƙasa kuma ta ƙi ba da amfani.
Therefore, on account of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth has withheld its crops.
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.”
I have summoned a drought on the fields and on the mountains, on the grain, new wine, and oil, and on whatever the ground yields, on man and beast, and on all the labor of your 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 son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. So the people feared the LORD.
13 Sai Haggai, ɗan saƙon Ubangiji, ya ba da wannan saƙo na Ubangiji ga mutane cewa, “Ina tare da ku” in ji Ubangiji.
Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, delivered the message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.
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,
So the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began the work on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,
15 a ranar ashirin da huɗu ga watan shida. A shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Sarki Dariyus,
on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius.
