< Xaggay 2 >
1 Oo haddana bishii toddobaad maalinteedii kow iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo wuxuu yidhi,
on the twenty-first day of the seventh month, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet,
2 Hadda waxaad la hadashaa Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel oo ah taliyaha dalka Yahuudah, iyo Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo ah wadaadka sare, iyo dadka intiisa hadhayba, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,
telling him to speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the rest of the people:
3 Yaa hadhay oo idin dhex jooga oo gurigan ammaantiisii hore arkay? Haatanse sidee buu idiinla eg yahay? Sow meel aan waxba ahayn idiinlama eka?
Who is left among you that saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Doesn’t it seem as though there is nothing there?
4 Haddaba Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Serubaabelow, xoog yeelo. Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo wadaadka sare ahow, xoog yeelo. Dadkiinna dalka jooga oo dhammow, xoog yeesha oo shaqeeya, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idinla joogaa,
The Lord says: Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel, be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, be strong, all you people of the land. The Lord says: Begin the work, for I am with you. The Lord of hosts says:
5 sidaan idiin ballanqaaday waagii aad Masar ka soo baxdeen, oo ruuxaygiina wuu idin dhex joogaa, haddaba ha cabsanina.
When your ancestors left Egypt I made a promise to you, and I am still with you. Do not be afraid!
6 Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Weli wakhti yar oo gaaban baa ii hadhay, oo dabadeedna waxaan gariirin doonaa samooyinka, iyo dhulka, iyo badda, iyo berrigaba.
The Lord of hosts says: In a little while, I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the land.
7 Oo quruumaha oo dhanna waan gariirin doonaa, oo waxa ay quruumaha oo dhammu jeclaystaan way iman doonaan, oo anna gurigan waxaan ka buuxin doonaa ammaan, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.
And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come here; and I will fill this temple with glory. The Lord of hosts says:
8 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Lacagta anigaa leh, oo dahabkana anigaa leh.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,
9 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Ammaanta gurigan dambe waa ka sii weynaan doontaa tan kii hore. Oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Meeshan dhexdeeda ayaan nabad ku siin doonaa.
The later glory of this temple shall be greater than the former. The Lord of hosts says: In this place I will grant prosperity. This is the message of the Lord of hosts.
10 Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bisheedii sagaalaad, maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
11 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaba wadaaddada waxaad weyddiisaan wax sharciga ku saabsan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan,
The Lord of hosts says: ‘Ask the priests for a ruling:
12 Haddii mid darafka maradiisa ku qaato hilib quduusan, oo uu darafkiisu taabto kibis, ama fuud, ama khamri, ama saliid, ama wax kale oo cunta ah, miyey waxaasu quduus noqonayaan? Kolkaasaa wadaaddadii waxay ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen. Maya.
“If one carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and with that garment touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy?”’ And the priests answered: ‘No.’
13 Kolkaasaa Xaggay yidhi, Haddii mid ku nijaasoobo meyd oo uu taabto wax kuwan ka mid ah, miyaa kaasuu nijaasoobayaa? Oo wadaaddadiina waxay ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Wuu nijaasoobayaa.
Then said Haggai, ‘If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?’ And the priests answered: ‘It would be unclean.’
14 Markaasaa Xaggay jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkanu waa saasoo kale, oo quruuntanuna saasoo kalay hortayda ku tahay, oo shuqul kasta oo ay gacmahooda ku qabtaanna waa saasoo kale, oo wixii ay halkaas ku bixiyaanna waa nijaas.
Haggai replied: ‘So is this people and so is this nation before me, the Lord declares, and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, maanta intii ka bilaabata iyo wixii ka dambeeyaba ka fiirsada intaan dhagaxna dhagax la dul saarin macbudka Rabbiga,
Think back from this day, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
16 iyo tan iyo wakhtigaas oo dhan markii la doonto tulmo ah labaatan, waxaa laga helay toban keliya, oo markii loo yimaado in macsarada khamriga laga soo dhaansado konton weel, waxaa ku jiray labaatan weel oo keliya.
How were you? When you came to a heap of grain expecting twenty measures, there were only ten; when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were only twenty.
17 Anigu shuqulka gacmihiinna oo dhan waxaan ku dhuftay beera-engeeg iyo cariyaysi iyo roobdhagaxyaale, laakiinse iima aydaan soo noqon ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
“I struck all the work of your hands with blasting and blight, with mildew and with hail. Yet you didn’t turn to me,” says the Lord,
18 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye maanta intii ka bilaabata iyo wixii ka dambeeyaba ka fiirsada, oo bishii sagaalaad maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad oo ahayd maalintii la dhigay aasaaska macbudka Rabbiga, aad uga fiirsada.
“Think back from this day, think! From the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day when the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and consider.
19 Maqsinka iniino ma ku jiraan? Hubaal canabka iyo berdaha iyo rummaanka iyo saytuunka midkoodna midho ma dhalin, laakiinse maanta inta ka bilaabata waan idin barakayn doonaa.
The seed is in the granary, but the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree have not yet brought forth fruit. From this day will I bless you.”’
20 Markaasaa mar labaad eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, taasuna waxay ahayd bisha maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
This message from the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
21 La hadal Serubaabel oo ah taliyaha dalka Yahuudah, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Waxaan gariirin doonaa samooyinka iyo dhulkaba,
Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 waanan afgembiyi doonaa carshiga boqortooyooyinka, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa xoogga boqortooyooyinka quruumaha, waanan afgembiyi doonaa gaadhifardoodyada iyo kuwa fuushanba, oo fardaha iyo kuwa ku joogaaba way dhici doonaan, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa seefta walaalkiis.
and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, each by the sword of his fellow.
23 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Serubaabelow, Addoonkaygiiyow, ina Salaatii'eelow, maalintaas waan ku qaadan doonaa, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa sidii shaabad oo kale, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan ku doortay.
In that day, the Lord of hosts says, I will take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, the Lord says, and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, the Lord of hosts says.
