Xaggay 2
1 Oo haddana bishii toddobaad maalinteedii kow iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo wuxuu yidhi,
On October 17 [of that year], Yahweh gave [me], the prophet Haggai, [another] message.
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,
[The message was that I should] say this to Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and to the other people who were still alive [in Jerusalem]:
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?
“Do any of you remember how glorious our former temple was? [If you do, ] what does it look like to you now? It must seem like nothing at all.
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,
But now the Commander of the armies of angels says to [all of you], to Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of you people who live in this nation, ‘[Do not be discouraged; ] be strong [DOU], and work [to build this new temple], because I will (be with/help) you.
5 sidaan idiin ballanqaaday waagii aad Masar ka soo baxdeen, oo ruuxaygiina wuu idin dhex joogaa, haddaba ha cabsanina.
My Spirit remains among you, like I promised your [ancestors] when they left Egypt. [So] 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.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Soon I will shake the sky and the earth, the oceans and the land again.
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.
I will shake [again the people of] all the nations, and as a result they will bring their treasures [to this temple]. I will fill this temple with [my] glory.
8 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Lacagta anigaa leh, oo dahabkana anigaa leh.
The silver and the gold [that they own] are [really] mine, [so they will bring them to me].
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.
[Then] this temple will be more glorious than the former/previous [temple was]. And I will cause things to go well for you all. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
10 Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bisheedii sagaalaad, maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
On December 18 of that year, Yahweh gave [another] message to [me], the prophet Haggai.
11 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaba wadaaddada waxaad weyddiisaan wax sharciga ku saabsan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan,
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels said to me: “Ask the priests [this question] about what is written in the laws [of Moses about sacrifices]:
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 [of you priests takes from the altar some] meat that was sacrificed and is carrying it in his robes, if his robe touches [some] bread or stew or wine or [olive] oil or some other food, does that food also become (holy/acceptable for a sacrifice)?’” [When he said that to] the priests, they replied, “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 Haggai asked them, “If someone becomes unacceptable to God by touching a corpse, and [then he] touches any of those foods, will the food [also] become unacceptable to God?” The priests replied, “Yes.”
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.
Then Haggai replied, “Yahweh says [this]: ‘It is the same with you people and with this nation. Everything that you do and [all the sacrifices] that you all offer are unacceptable to me [because of the sins that you have committed].
15 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, maanta intii ka bilaabata iyo wixii ka dambeeyaba ka fiirsada intaan dhagaxna dhagax la dul saarin macbudka Rabbiga,
Think about what has been happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of my temple.
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.
When you expected [to harvest] 20 bushels [of grain, you harvested] only ten bushels. When someone went to a [big] wine vat to get 50 gallons [of wine], there were only 20 [gallons in the vat].
17 Anigu shuqulka gacmihiinna oo dhan waxaan ku dhuftay beera-engeeg iyo cariyaysi iyo roobdhagaxyaale, laakiinse iima aydaan soo noqon ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
I sent (blight/hot winds) and mildew and hail to destroy all your crops. But still you did not return to me.
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.
Starting from this day, December 18, the day when [you] have laid the foundation of my [new] temple, continue to think carefully [about your situation].
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.
Is there now [RHQ] [any grain] seed left in your barns? [No, because you have eaten the small amount that you harvested]. And there is no fruit on your grapevines and fig trees and pomegranate [trees] and olive trees. But, from now on, I will bless you!’”
20 Markaasaa mar labaad eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, taasuna waxay ahayd bisha maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
On that same day, Yahweh gave another message to me.
21 La hadal Serubaabel oo ah taliyaha dalka Yahuudah, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Waxaan gariirin doonaa samooyinka iyo dhulkaba,
[He said, ] “Tell Zerubbabel the governor of Judah that I am going to shake the sky 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.
I will end the power of the kings of [many] nations [DOU]. I will cause their chariots and their drivers, their horses and [the soldiers] who are riding on them to be destroyed. [What will happen is that I will cause the soldiers] to kill each other with their swords.
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.
Zerubbabel, you serve [me well]. So [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, declare that [like kings wear] signet rings [to show that they have authority to rule people], I will appoint you and cause you [to have authority to rule]. I will do that because I have chosen you. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
