Hagai 2
1 Pazuva ramakumi maviri nerimwe romwedzi wechinomwe, shoko raJehovha rakasvika nokuna muprofita Hagai richiti,
In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of Yhwh by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2 “Taura naZerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri, mubati weJudha, kuna Joshua mwanakomana waJehozadhaki muprista mukuru, nokuvanhu vakasara. Uvabvunze kuti,
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
3 ‘Ndiani pakati penyu vakasara akaona imba ino pakubwinya kwayo kwokutanga? Munoionawo sei zvino? Pakuona kwenyu haina kuita sapasina here?
Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
4 Asi zvino chiva nesimba, iwe Zerubhabheri,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Iva nesimba, iwe Joshua mwanakomana waJehozadhaki, muprista mukuru. Ivai nesimba, imi mose vanhu venyika,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘uye mushande. Nokuti ndinemi,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith Yhwh; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Yhwh, and work: for I am with you, saith Yhwh of Armies:
5 ‘Ndiro shoko resungano yandakaita nemi, nguva yamakabuda kubvira muIjipiti. Uye Mweya wangu uchagara pakati penyu. Musatya.’
According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
6 “Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: ‘Munguva shoma shoma, ndichazungunusa matenga nenyika, negungwa nenyika yakaoma.
For thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 Ndichazungunusa ndudzi dzose, uye zvinodikanwa nendudzi dzose zvichauya, uye ndichazadza imba ino nokubwinya,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yhwh of Armies.
8 ‘Sirivha ndeyangu negoridhe nderangu,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Yhwh of Armies.
9 ‘Kubwinya kweimba iripo nhasi kuchapfuura kubwinya kweyokutanga,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose. ‘Uye panzvimbo ino ndichauyisa rugare,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.”
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith Yhwh of Armies: and in this place will I give peace, saith Yhwh of Armies.
10 Pazuva ramakumi maviri namana romwedzi wechipfumbamwe, mugore rechipiri raDhariasi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kumuprofita Hagai, richiti,
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yhwh by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: ‘Bvunza vaprista kuti murayiro unorevei:
Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 Kana munhu akatakura nyama tsvene mumupendero wenguo yake, uye mupendero ukagunzva chingwa kana nyama yakabikwa, kana waini, kana mafuta kana zvimwe zvokudya, zvichava zvitsvene here?’” Vaprista vakapindura vakati, “Kwete.”
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Ipapo Hagai akapindura akati, “Kana munhu asvibiswa nokubata kwaaita chitunha, akabata chimwe chaizvozvi, ko, chingasvibiswa here?” Vaprista vakapindura vakati, “Hongu chinosvibiswa.”
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 Ipapo Hagai akapindura akati, “‘Ndizvo zvakaita vanhu ava norudzi urwu pamberi pangu,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Zvose zvavanoita uye zvose zvavanopa sechibayiro ipapo zvakasvibiswa.
Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith Yhwh; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 “‘Zvino fungisisai, kubvira pazuva ranhasi, muchidzokera shure, chimbofungai zvazvakanga zvakaita ibwe rimwe richigere kuiswa pamusoro perimwe ibwe mutemberi yaJehovha.
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Yhwh:
16 Munhu aiti kana achinge asvika pamurwi wezviyero makumi maviri, paingova negumi chete. Munhu aiti kana asvika pachisviniro chewaini achida kuchera zviyero makumi mashanu, kwaingova nezviyero makumi maviri chete.
Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17 Ndakarova mabasa ose amaoko enyu nenyunje, nokuvhuvha nechimvuramabwe, asi hamuna kutendeukira kwandiri,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith Yhwh.
18 Kubvira pazuva ranhasi zvichienda mberi, kubvira pazuva ramakumi maviri namana romwedzi wepfumbamwe, fungisisai zuva riya rakateyiwa nheyo dzetemberi yaJehovha. Fungisisai izvozvo:
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of Yhwh's temple was laid, consider it.
19 Ko, muchine mbeu yakasara mudura here? Kusvikira zvino, muzambiringa nomuonde, mutamba nomuorivhi hazvina kubereka michero. “‘Kubvira pazuva ranhasi ndichakuropafadzai.’”
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Hagai kechipiri pazuva ramakumi maviri namana romwedzi richiti,
And again the word of Yhwh came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 “Udza Zerubhabheri mubati weJudha kuti ndichazungunusa matenga nenyika.
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 Ndichawisira pasi zvigaro zvoushe uye ndichaparadza simba roushe hwavatorwa. Ndichawisira pasi ngoro navafambisi vadzo; mabhiza navatasvi vawo zvichawira pasi, mumwe nomumwe nomunondo wehama yake.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 “‘Pazuva iroro,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ‘ndichakutora iwe, muranda wangu, Zerubhabheri mwanakomana waShearitieri,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘uye ndichakuita sechisimbiso changu, nokuti ndakakusarudza,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.”
In that day, saith Yhwh of Armies, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith Yhwh, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith Yhwh of Armies.
