1 B oqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bisheedii lixaad, maalinteedii kowaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo waxaa loogu soo dhiibay Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel oo ahaa taliyihii dalka Yahuudah, iyo Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo ahaa wadaadka sare, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

On the first day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king, the Word of the Lord came to Haggai. The Word was for Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the head religious leader, saying,

2 R abbiga ciidammadu sidanuu u hadlaa oo wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkanu waxay yidhaahdaan, Wakhtigii weli lama gaadhin, wakhtigii guriga Rabbiga la dhisi lahaa weli lama gaadhin.

“This is what the Lord of All says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to build again the house of the Lord.”’”

3 M arkaasaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay oo wuxuu yidhi,

Then the Word of the Lord came by Haggai the man of God, saying,

4 M a idiin tahay wakhti aad ku hoyataan guryihiinna saqafka loo yeelay, iyadoo guriganu uu dunsan yahay?

“Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your houses with walls covered with wood, while this house lies waste?”

5 H addaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.

Now the Lord of All says, “Think about your ways!

6 W ax badan baad beerateen, laakiinse in yar baad soo gurateen, wax baad cuntaan, laakiinse innaba kama dheregtaan, wax baad cabtaan, laakiinse innaba kama wabaxdaan, dhar baad xidhataan, laakiinse innaba ma diirsataan, oo kii mushahaaro soo qaataana wuxuu mushahaarada u soo qaata inuu kiish daloolan ku rito.

You have planted much, but gather little. You eat, but there is not enough to fill you. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothing, but no one is warm enough. You earn money, but put it into a bag with holes.”

7 H addaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.

The Lord of All says, “Think about your ways!

8 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Buurta fuula, oo alwaax ka keena, oo guriga dhisa, oo anna waan ku farxi doonaa, oo kolkaasaan ammaanmi doonaa.

Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build again the house of God, that I may be pleased with it and worshiped as I should be,” says the Lord.

9 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad filanayseen wax badan, laakiinse waxay noqdeen in yar, oo markaad intaas gurigii keenteenna anigu waan afuufay. Waa maxay sababtu? Maxaa yeelay, gurigaygii baa dunsan oo idinkana midkiin kastaaba wuxuu u ordaa gurigiisa.

“You look for much, but it turns out to be little. When you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” says the Lord of All. “Because My house lies waste, while each of you takes care of his own house.

10 H addaba idinka daraaddiin ayaa samadii u diidday sayaxeedii oo dhulkiina wuu diiday midhihiisii.

So the sky has held back the water on the grass in the early morning because of you, and the earth has held back its food.

11 O o anigu abaar baan u yeedhay, oo waxaan ku soo dejiyey dhulka, iyo buuraha, iyo hadhuudhka, iyo khamriga, iyo saliidda, iyo waxaa dhulka ka soo baxa, iyo dadka, iyo duunyada, iyo hawsha gacmaha oo dhan.

I have called for a time without rain on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on the vegetables, on men, on cattle, and on all the work of your hands.” The People Obey

12 M arkaasaa Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel, iyo wadaadkii sare oo ahaa Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq, iyo dadka intiisii hadhay oo dhammu waxay addeeceen codkii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, iyo erayadii Nebi Xaggay, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah ayaa isaga soo diray, oo dadkiina Rabbiga hortiisa ayaa cabsi ku gashay.

Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the head religious leader, and all the rest of the people of Israel, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God. They obeyed the words of Haggai the man of God, as the Lord their God had sent him. And the people honored the Lord with fear.

13 M arkaasaa Xaggay oo ahaa wargeeyihii Rabbiga dadkii u sheegay farriintii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idinla joogaa.

Then Haggai the man of God spoke for the Lord to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the Lord.

14 K olkaasaa Rabbigu kiciyey ruuxii Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel oo ahaa taliyihii dalka Yahuudah, iyo ruuxii Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo ahaa wadaadka sare, iyo ruuxii dadka intiisa hadhay oo dhanba, oo intay yimaadeen ayay ka shaqeeyeen gurigii Rabbiga ciidammada oo Ilaahooda ah,

So the Lord moved the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the head religious leader, and the spirit of all the rest of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the Lord of All, their God.

15 o o taasuna waxay dhacday Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bishii lixaad, maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad.

This was on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king.
