1 Ní ọjọ́ kọkànlélógún oṣù keje, ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wá nípasẹ̀ wòlíì Hagai wí pé,
And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
2 “Sọ fún Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli, baálẹ̀ Juda, àti Joṣua ọmọ Josadaki, olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn ènìyàn yòókù. Béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé,
Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
3 ‘Ta ni nínú yín tí ó kù tí ó sì ti rí ilé yìí ní ògo rẹ̀ àkọ́kọ́? Báwo ni ó ṣe ri sí yín nísinsin yìí? Ǹjẹ́ kò dàbí asán lójú yín?
Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
4 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, múra gírí, ìwọ Serubbabeli,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Múra gírí, ìwọ Joṣua ọmọ Josadaki, olórí àlùfáà. Ẹ sì múra gírí gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘kí ẹ sì ṣiṣẹ́. Nítorí èmi wà pẹ̀lú yín,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
5 ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Èmi fi bá a yín dá májẹ̀mú nígbà tí ẹ jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ẹ̀mí ì mi sì wà pẹ̀lú yín. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù.’
The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
6 “Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Láìpẹ́ jọjọ, Èmi yóò mi àwọn ọrun àti ayé, Òkun àti ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
7 Èmi yóò mi gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, ìfẹ́ gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè yóò fà sí tẹmpili yìí, Èmi yóò sì kún ilé yìí pẹ̀lú ògo,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
8 ‘Tèmi ni fàdákà àti wúrà,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 ‘Ògo ìkẹyìn ilé yìí yóò pọ̀ ju ti ìṣáájú lọ,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Àti ní ìhín yìí ni Èmi ó sì fi àlàáfíà fún ni,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.”
Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù kẹsànán ní ọdún kejì Dariusi, ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ wòlíì Hagai wá pé,
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
11 “Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn àlùfáà ohun tí òfin wí pé:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
12 Bí ẹnìkan bá gbé ẹran mímọ́ ní ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ rẹ̀, tí ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ rẹ̀ kan àkàrà tàbí ọbẹ̀, wáìnì, òróró tàbí oúnjẹ mìíràn, ǹjẹ́ yóò ha jẹ́ mímọ́ bí?’” Àwọn àlùfáà sì dáhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́.”
If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
13 Nígbà náà ni Hagai wí pé, “Bí ẹnìkan tí ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́ nípa fífi ara kan òkú bá fi ara kan ọ̀kan lára nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ǹjẹ́ yóò ha jẹ́ aláìmọ́?” Àwọn àlùfáà sì dáhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́.”
And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
14 Nígbà náà ni Hagai dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn wọ̀nyí rí, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni orílẹ̀-èdè yìí rí níwájú mi,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni olúkúlùkù iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn; èyí tí wọ́n sì fi rú ẹbọ níbẹ̀ jẹ́ aláìmọ́.
And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
15 “‘Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ ro èyí dáradára láti òní yìí lọ, ẹ kíyèsi bí nǹkan ṣe rí tẹ́lẹ̀, a to òkúta kan lé orí èkejì ní tẹmpili Olúwa.
And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
16 Nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá dé ibi òkìtì òsùwọ̀n ogun, mẹ́wàá péré ni yóò ba níbẹ̀. Nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá dé ibi ìfúntí wáìnì láti wọn àádọ́ta ìwọ̀n, ogún péré ni yóò ba níbẹ̀.
When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
17 Mo fi ìrẹ̀dànù, ìmúwòdù àti yìnyín bá gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ yín jẹ; síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò yípadà sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi,’ ni Olúwa wí.
I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
18 ‘Láti òní lọ, láti ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù kẹsànán yìí kí ẹ kíyèsi, kí ẹ sì rò ó dáradára, ọjọ́ ti a fi ìpìlẹ̀ tẹmpili Olúwa lélẹ̀, rò ó dáradára.
Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
19 Ǹjẹ́ èso ha wà nínú abà bí? Títí di àkókò yìí, àjàrà àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ àti pomegiranate, àti igi olifi kò ì tí ì so èso kankan. “‘Láti òní lọ ni èmi yóò bùkún fún un yin.’”
Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
20 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tún tọ Hagai wá nígbà kejì, ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù náà pé,
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
21 “Sọ fún Serubbabeli baálẹ̀ Juda pé èmi yóò mi àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé.
Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
22 Èmi yóò bi ìtẹ́ àwọn ìjọba ṣubú, Èmi yóò sì pa agbára àwọn aláìkọlà run, Èmi yóò sì dojú àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun dé, àti àwọn tí ń gùn wọ́n; ẹṣin àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin yóò ṣubú; olúkúlùkù nípa idà arákùnrin rẹ̀.”
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, “Ní ọjọ́ náà, ìwọ ìránṣẹ́ mi Serubbabeli ọmọ Ṣealitieli, Èmi yóò mú ọ, Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ di bí òrùka èdìdì mi, nítorí mo ti yan ọ, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.”
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
