< 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, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, 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 spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, This people—they have said, The time has not come, The time the house of YHWH [is] to be built.”
3 Dia tonga ny tenin’ i Jehovah nentin’ i Hagay mpaminany nanao hoe:
And there is a word of YHWH by the hand 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 to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?”
5 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hevero ny lalanareo.
And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to 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.
You have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none has heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.”
7 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hevero ny lalanareo.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set 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 the mountain, and you have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honored,” said YHWH.
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.
“Looking for much, and behold, little, And you brought [it] home, and I blew on it—why?” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “Because of My house that is desolate, And you are running—each to his house,
10 Ary noho izany dia ny aminareo no nitsaharan’ ny lanitra tsy hampilatsaka ando sy nitsaharan’ ny tany tsy hahavokatra.
Therefore, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
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 proclaim drought on the land, And on the mountains, and on the grain, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground brings forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all 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.
And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listen to the voice of their God YHWH, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as their God YHWH had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of YHWH.
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 Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
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 YHWH stirs up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and work in the house of YHWH of Hosts their God,
15 tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahenina tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa.
in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
