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 king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord through means of Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, This people have said, The time is not yet come, the time for the Lord's house to be built.
3 Dia tonga ny tenin’ i Jehovah nentin’ i Hagay mpaminany nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came by means of Haggai the prophet, 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, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth in ruins?
5 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hevero ny lalanareo.
Now therefore, thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart unto your ways.
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, and bring in little; ye eat, but it doth not satisfy hunger; ye drink, but it doth not appease thirst; ye clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he that earneth something earneth it for a bag with holes.
7 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hevero ny lalanareo.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart to 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 bring wood, and build the house: that I may 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.
[Till now] ye looked for much, and lo, it came to be little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. For what cause? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lieth in ruins, while ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Ary noho izany dia ny aminareo no nitsaharan’ ny lanitra tsy hampilatsaka ando sy nitsaharan’ ny tany tsy hahavokatra.
Therefore do the heavens for your sake withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth her products.
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 called for a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the corn, and over the new wine, and over the oil, and over what the ground bringeth forth, and over men, and over cattle, and over all the labor of the 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.
Then hearkened Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were afraid of 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.
Then said Haggai the messenger of the Lord by the Lord's message unto 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did work on the house of the Lord of hosts, 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 king Darius.
