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 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni kun, ‘Yeroon itti manni Waaqayyoo ijaaramu amma illee hin geenye’ jedha.”
“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 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo karaa Haagee Raajichaatiin akkana jedhee dhufe:
And there is a word of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 “Yeroon kun yeroo isin utuu manni kun diigamee jiruu manneen keessan kanneen miidhagfaman keessa jiraattaniidhaa?”
“Is it time for you to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?”
5 Ammas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yaada keessan karaa keessan irra kaaʼadhaa.
And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
6 Isin sanyii baayʼee facaafattanii waan xinnoo haammattaniirtu. Isin ni nyaattu; garuu hin quuftan. Ni dhugdu; garuu dheebuu hin baatan. Wayyaa ni uffattu; garuu isinitti hin hoʼu. Namni mindaa fudhatu akkuma nama mindaa isaa korojoo tarsaʼaa keessa kaaʼatuu ti.”
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 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Karaa keessan hubadhaa.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
8 Tulluutti ol baʼaa; muka fidaa; manicha ijaaraa; anis isatti nan gammada; nan kabajamas” jedha Waaqayyo.
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 “Isin waan baayʼee abdattan; garuu ni xinnaate. Isin manatti galfattan ani immoo nan afuufe. Kun maaliif taʼee?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Kun sababii utuu manni koo diigamee jiruu tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana keessaniitti fiigdaniif.
“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 Kanaafuu sababii keessaniif samiiwwan fixeensa isaanii dhowwatan; laftis midhaan ishee dhowwatte.
Therefore, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
11 Anis lafa qotiisaa fi tulluuwwaniitti, midhaanii fi daadhii wayinii haaraatti, zayitii fi waan lafti kennitu hundatti, namaa fi loonitti, hojii dadhabbii harka keessaniittis hongee waameera.”
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 Zarubaabel ilmi Sheʼaltiiʼeel, Iyyaasuun ilmi Yehoozaadaaq lubichi ol aanaanii fi hambaawwan uummataa hundi sagalee Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi ergaa Haagee raajichaatiif ajajaman; Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isa ergeeraatii. Uummannis Waaqayyoon sodaate.
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 Ergasii Haageen ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun akkana jedhee ergaa Waaqayyoo kana sabatti hime: “Ani isin wajjinan jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
And Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
14 Akkasiin Waaqayyo hafuura Zarubaabel ilma Sheʼaltiiʼeel bulchaa Yihuudaa, hafuura Iyyaasuu ilma Yehoozaadaaq lubicha ol aanaatii fi hafuura hambaa uummata hundaa kakaase. Isaanis dhufanii mana Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu, mana Waaqa isaanii ijaaruu jalqaban;
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,
