1 Ní ọdún kejì ọba Dariusi ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kẹfà, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wá nípasẹ̀ wòlíì Hagai sí Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli, baálẹ̀ Juda, àti sọ́dọ̀ Joṣua ọmọ Josadaki, olórí àlùfáà.
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí wí pé, ‘Kò tí ì tó àkókò láti kọ́ ilé Olúwa.’”
Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time for us to come, the time for Jehovah's house to be built.
3 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì Hagai wí pé,
Then the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 “Ǹjẹ́ àkókò ni fún ẹ̀yin fúnra yín láti máa gbé ní ilé tí a ṣe ní ọ̀ṣọ́ nígbà tí ilé yìí wà ni ahoro?”
Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies waste?
5 Nísìnsinyìí, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Ẹ kíyèsi ọ̀nà yín.
Now therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
6 Ẹ̀yin ti gbìn ohun ti ó pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kórè díẹ̀ níbẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin jẹun, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò yó. Ẹ̀yin mu ṣùgbọ́n kò tẹ́ ẹ yín lọ́run; ẹ̀yin wọ aṣọ, ṣùgbọ́n kò mú òtútù yin lọ; ẹyin gba owó iṣẹ́ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ń gbà á sínú ajádìí àpò.”
Ye have sown much, and bring in little. Ye eat, but ye have not enough. Ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink. Ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm. And he who earns wages earns wages to put into a bag with holes.
7 Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Ẹ kíyèsi ọ̀nà yín.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
8 Ẹ gun orí àwọn òkè ńlá lọ, kí ẹ sì mú igi wá pẹ̀lú yín. Kí ẹ sì kọ́ ilé náà, kí inú mi bà le è dùn sí i, kí a sì yín mí lógo,” ni Olúwa wí.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house. And I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says Jehovah.
9 “Ẹyin ti ń retí ọ̀pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kíyèsi i, o yípadà sí díẹ̀. Ohun tí ẹ̀yin mú wa ilé, èmi sì fẹ́ ẹ dànù. Nítorí kí ni?” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí. “Nítorí ilé mi tí ó dahoro; tí olúkúlùkù yín sì ń sáré fún ilé ara rẹ̀.
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little, and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Why? says Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lays waste while ye run each man to his own house.
10 Nítorí yín ni àwọn ọ̀run ṣe dá ìrì dúró tí ilẹ̀ sì kọ̀ láti mu èso jáde.
Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
11 Mo sì ti pe ọ̀dá sórí ilẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn òkè ńlá, sórí ọkà àti sórí wáìnì tuntun, sórí òróró àti sórí ohun ti ilẹ̀ ń mú jáde, sórí ènìyàn, sórí ẹran àti sórí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ yín.”
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.
12 Nígbà náà ni Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli, Joṣua ọmọ Josadaki, olórí àlùfáà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn ìyókù, gba ohùn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn gbọ́ àti ọ̀rọ̀ wòlíì Hagai, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run ni ó rán an. Àwọn ènìyàn sì bẹ̀rù Olúwa.
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him. And the people feared before Jehovah.
13 Nígbà náà ni Hagai ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ń jíṣẹ́ Olúwa fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Èmí wà pẹ̀lú yín,” ni Olúwa wí.
Then Haggai, Jehovah's agent, spoke in Jehovah's message to the people, saying, I am with you, says Jehovah.
14 Nítorí náà, Olúwa ru ẹ̀mí Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli sókè, baálẹ̀ Juda àti ẹ̀mí Joṣua ọmọ Josadaki, olórí àlùfáà àti ẹ̀mí gbogbo ènìyàn ìyókù. Wọ́n sì wá, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní ṣiṣẹ́ lórí ilé Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run wọn,
And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and did work on the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
15 ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù kẹfà ní ọdún kejì ọba Dariusi.
in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
