Hagai 1
1 Mugore rechipiri ramambo Dhariasi, pazuva rokutanga romwedzi wechitanhatu, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kubudikidza nomuprofita Hagai richienda kuna Zerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri, mubati weJudha, nokuna Joshua mwanakomana waJehozadhaki, muprista mukuru, richiti:
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, saying:
2 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Vanhu ava vanoti, ‘Nguva haisati yasvika yokuti imba yaJehovha ivakwe.’”
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
3 Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika nokumuprofita Hagai richiti,
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
4 “Ko, inguva here yokuti imi pachenyu mugare mudzimba dzenyu dzakashongedzwa namapuranga, asi imba ino ichiramba iri dongo?”
Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?
5 Zvino zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Fungisisai pamusoro penzira dzenyu.
And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.
6 Makakusha zvizhinji, asi mukacheka zvishoma. Munodya, asi hamuguti. Munonwa, asi hamugundwi. Munopfeka nhumbi, asi hamudziyirwi. Munoshandira mubayiro, kuti muuise chete muhomwe ina maburi.”
You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.
7 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Fungisisai pamusoro penzira dzenyu.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set Your hearts upon your ways:
8 Kwirai kumakomo, mundouya namatanda muvake imba, kuti ini ndiifarire ndigokudzwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith the Lord.
9 “Makatarisira kuwana zvizhinji, asi tarirai, zvakazova zvishoma. Zvamakauya nazvo kumusha, ndakazvifuridzira kure. Nemhaka yeiko?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose. “Nemhaka yeimba yangu, yaramba ichingova dongo, asi mumwe nomumwe wenyu achishingairira imba yake.
You have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts? because my house is desolate, and you make haste every man to his own house.
10 Naizvozvo, nokuda kwenyu matenga aramba nedova uye nyika yaramba nezvibereko zvayo.
Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
11 Ndakadana kuoma kuti kuuye paminda napamakomo, napazviyo, napawaini itsva, napamafuta, napazvose zvinoberekwa nevhu, napavanhu, napazvipfuwo, uye napamabasa amaoko enyu.”
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon beasts, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 Ipapo Zerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri, naJoshua mwanakomana waJehozadhaki, muprista mukuru, navanhu vose vakanga vasara vakateerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wavo uye shoko romuprofita Hagai, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wavo akanga amutuma. Uye vanhu vakatya Jehovha.
Then Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, 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 to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the Lord.
13 Ipapo Hagai, nhume yaJehovha, akasvitsa shoko iri raJehovha kuvanhu achiti, “Ndinemi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
And Aggeus the messenger of the Lord, as one of the messengers of the Lord, spoke, saying to the people: I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 Naizvozvo Jehovha akamutsa mweya waZerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri, mubati weJudha, uye nomweya waJoshua mwanakomana waJehozadhaki, muprista mukuru, uye nomweya wavanhu vose vakanga vasara. Vakauya vakatanga kushanda paimba yaJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari wavo,
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
15 pazuva ramakumi maviri namana romwedzi wechitanhatu mugore rechipiri ramambo Dhariasi.
In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
