Kaggayi 2
1 Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu olumu mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nti,
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 “Yogera ne Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ow’essaza lya Yuda ne Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu, n’abantu abaasigalawo, obabuuze nti,
Say now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the rest of the people,
3 ‘Ani mu mmwe akyasigaddewo eyalaba ku kitiibwa ky’ennyumba eno? Ebafaananira etya kaakano? Tebafaananira ng’eteriimu kaabuntu?
Who is there still among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?
4 Kale nno guma omwoyo, ggwe Zerubbaberi, bw’ayogera Mukama; guma omwoyo, ggwe Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu; mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abantu ab’omu nsi,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘Mukole, kubanga ndi wamu nammwe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to work: for I am with you, says the Lord of armies:
5 ‘Kino kye nalagaana nammwe bwe mwali muva mu Misiri, ng’Omwoyo wange anaabeeranga nammwe. Temutya.’
The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.
6 “Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Mu bbanga eritali ly’ewala ndikankanya eggulu n’ensi, n’ennyanja n’olukalu.
For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In a short time I will make a shaking of the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;
7 Ndikankanya amawanga gonna, n’amawanga gonna ge njagala galijja, ne nzijuza ennyumba eno ekitiibwa,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
And I will make a shaking of all the nations, and the desired things of all nations will come: and I will make this house full of my glory, says the Lord of armies.
8 ‘Effeeza yange, ne zaabu yange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye.
The silver is mine and the gold is mine, says the Lord of armies.
9 ‘Ekitiibwa eky’ennyumba eriwo kaakano, kirisinga ekitiibwa ky’eri eyasooka era mu kifo kino ndizzaawo emirembe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
The second glory of this house will be greater than the first, says the Lord of armies: and in this place I will give peace, says the Lord of armies.
10 Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogw’omwenda mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’okufuga kwa Daliyo, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nti,
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Buuza bakabona etteeka kye ligamba.
These are the words of the Lord of armies: Put now a point of law to the priests, saying,
12 Omuntu bw’asitulira ennyama eyatukuzibwa mu kirenge eky’ekyambalo kye, ekirenge ne kikoma ku mugaati oba ku supu, oba ku wayini, oba ku mafuta oba ku mmere endala yonna, bitukuzibwa?’” Bakabona ne baddamu nti, “Nedda.”
If anyone has some holy flesh folded in the skirt of his robe, will bread or soup or wine or oil or any other food be made holy if touched by his skirt? And the priests answering said, No.
13 Awo Kaggayi n’abuuza nti, “Omuntu atali mulongoofu olw’omulambo, bw’akoma ku bintu ebyo, bifuuka ebitali birongoofu?” Bakabona ne baddamu nti, “Bifuuka ebitali birongoofu.”
Then Haggai said, Will any of these be made unclean by the touch of one who is unclean through touching a dead body? And the priests answering said, It will be made unclean.
14 Kaggayi n’addamu nti, “Kale nno bwe batyo bwe bali abantu bano n’eggwanga lino. Buli kye bakola ne buli kye bawaayo ng’ekiweebwayo, si kirongoofu,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Then Haggai said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and the offering they give there is unclean.
15 “‘Kale nno, mweddeko okuva ku lunaku lwa leero, mujjukire ebiseera biri bwe byali, nga n’ejjinja erimu terinnateekebwa ku linnaalyo mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
And now, give thought, looking back from this day to the time before one stone was put on another in the Temple of the Lord:
16 Omuntu yenna bwe yatuukanga ku ntuumu eyandibadde ey’ebipimo amakumi abiri, yassangawo ebipimo kkumi. Omuntu yenna bwe yalaganga mu ssogolero okusenamu lita amakumi ataano, yasangangamu amakumi abiri.
How, when anyone came to a store of twenty measures, there were only ten: when anyone went to the wine-store to get fifty vessels full, there were only twenty.
17 Nakolimira emirimu gyonna egy’emikono gyammwe n’okugengewala n’obukuku, n’omuzira, naye ne mutakyuka kudda gye ndi,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned to me, says the Lord.
18 Okuva olunaku lwa leero, olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya mu mwezi ogw’omwenda, mujjukire olunaku lwe baazimba omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama. Mwebuuze nti,
And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to it.
19 Wakyaliwo ensigo eyasigala mu tterekero? Mulabe, emiti gino egimenyeddwa, ogw’omuzabbibu n’ogw’omutiini, n’ogw’omukomamawanga, n’ogw’omuzeeyituuni tegibalangako bibala. “‘Naye okuva ne leero ndibawa omukisa.’”
Is the seed still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on you.
20 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Kaggayi omulundi ogwokubiri ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogwo nga kigamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 “Tegeeza Zerubbaberi gavana wa Yuda nti ndikankanya eggulu n’ensi.
Say to Zerubbabel, ruler of Judah, I will make a shaking of the heavens and the earth,
22 Ndisulika entebe ez’obwakabaka ne nzigyawo obuyinza bw’obwakabaka obunnaggwanga. Ndiwamba amagaali n’abavuzi baago, n’embalaasi na buli abazeebagala, balittibwa baganda baabwe.
Overturning the power of kingdoms; and I will send destruction on the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; by me war-carriages will be overturned with those who are in them; and the horses and the horsemen will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
23 “‘Ku lunaku olwo, ggwe omuweereza wange Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ndikufuula ng’akabonero, kubanga nkulonze,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
In that day, says the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.
