< Hagay 1 >

1 Tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahenina tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa mpanjaka no nahatongavan’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah nentin’ i Hagay mpaminany tamin’ i Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, governora tany Joda, sy tamin’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe, nanao hoe:
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, saying,
2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Ity firenena ity nanao hoe: Tsy mbola tonga ny andro tokony hihaviana hanaovana ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
Thus saith the Lord Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not come to build the house of the Lord.
3 Dia tonga ny tenin’ i Jehovah nentin’ i Hagay mpaminany nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying,
4 Moa andro tokony hitoeran’ ny tenanareo ao amin’ ny tranonareo misy valin-drihana va izao, kanefa rava ity trano ity?
Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is desolate?
5 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hevero ny lalanareo.
And now thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you.
6 Efa namafy be ianareo, nefa kely no taomina: mihinana ianareo, nefa tsy voky; misotro ianareo, nefa tsy afa-po; mitafy ianareo, nefa tsy misy mafana; ary izay mahazo karama dia mahazo karama hatao an-kitapo loaka.
Ye have sown much, but brought in little; ye have eaten, and are not satisfied; ye have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, ye have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered [them] into a bag full of holes.
7 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hevero ny lalanareo.
Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways.
8 Miakara any an-tendrombohitra, ka makà hazo, ary ataovy ny trano, dia hankasitrahako izany, sady hankalazaina Aho, hoy Jehovah.
Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith the Lord.
9 Nanampo be ianareo, kanjo indro, kely monja; ary nony notaominareo, dia notsofiko. Nahoana? hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro. Satria efa rava ny tranoko, nefa ianareo samy mihazakazaka hanao ny tranonareo avy.
Ye looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and ye run everyone into his own house;
10 Ary noho izany dia ny aminareo no nitsaharan’ ny lanitra tsy hampilatsaka ando sy nitsaharan’ ny tany tsy hahavokatra.
therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce.
11 Ary niantso ny fahamainana Aho hamely ny tany sy ny tendrombohitra sy ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka sy ny diloilo sy izay vokatry ny tany ary ny olona sy ny biby fiompy mbamin’ izay rehetra efa nisasaran’ ny tanana.
And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labours of their hands.
12 Ary Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe, mbamin’ ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny vahoaka, dia nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sy ny tenin’ i Hagay mpaminany, araka ny nanirahan’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny azy, ary natahotra teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny olona.
And Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of the prophet Aggaeus, according as the Lord their God had sent him to them, and the people feared before the Lord.
13 Ary nambaran’ i Hagay, irak’ i Jehovah, ny teny nampitondrain’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ny olona nanao hoe: Izaho no momba anareo, hoy Jehovah.
And Aggaeus the Lord's messenger spoke among the messengers of the Lord to the people, [saying], I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 Dia notairin’ i Jehovah ny fanahin’ i Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, governora any Joda, sy ny fanahin’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka mpisoronabe, sy ny fanahin’ ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny vahoaka; ary dia avy izy ka nandrafitra ny tranon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamaniny,
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people; and they went in, and wrought in the house of the Lord Almighty their God,
15 tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahenina tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa.
on the four and twentieth [day] of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
