In the seventh [month], on the twenty-first of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,

“Now speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant 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 among you has been left that saw this house in its former glory? And what are you seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, 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.
And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel,” A declaration of YHWH, “And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all you people of the land,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do, for I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH 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 thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, do not fear.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Yet once more—it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens 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 have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] glory,” said YHWH of Hosts.

“Greater is the glory of this latter house, Than of the former,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I give peace in this place,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
10 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù kẹsànán ní ọdún kejì Dariusi, ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ wòlíì Hagai wá pé,
On the twenty-fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn àlùfáà ohun tí òfin wí pé:
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of 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.”
Behold, [when] one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he has come with his skirt against the bread, or against the stew, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food—is it holy?” And the priests answer and say, “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 Haggai says, “If the unclean of body comes against any of these, is it unclean?” And the priests answer and say, “It is unclean.”
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 Haggai answers and says, “So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there—it is unclean.
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, please lay [it] to your heart, From this day and onward, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of YHWH.
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.
From that time [one] has come to a heap of twenty, And it has been ten, He has come to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, And it has been 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 have struck you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail—All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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.
“Now set [it] to your heart, from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of YHWH has been founded, set [it] to your heart.
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 yet in the barn? And until now the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne—from this day I bless.”
20 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tún tọ Hagai wá nígbà kejì, ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù náà pé,
And there is a word of YHWH a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,
21 “Sọ fún Serubbabeli baálẹ̀ Juda pé èmi yóò mi àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé.
“Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, I am shaking the heavens and the 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 have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And horses and their riders have come down, Each 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,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,” A declaration of YHWH, “And have set you as a signet, For I have fixed on you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
