In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word 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.’”
“This is what the LORD of Armies says: These people say, ‘The time has not yet come, the time for the LORD’s house to be built.’”
3 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì Hagai wí pé,
Then the LORD’s word 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 this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘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.”
You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you are not filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.’
7 Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Ẹ kíyèsi ọ̀nà yín.
“This is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘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, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says the LORD.
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.
“You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with 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.”
I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground produces, on men, on livestock, and on 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 LORD their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared the LORD.
13 Nígbà náà ni Hagai ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ń jíṣẹ́ Olúwa fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Èmí wà pẹ̀lú yín,” ni Olúwa wí.
Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the LORD.
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,
The LORD 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 worked on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God,
