1 O o haddana bishii toddobaad maalinteedii kow iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo wuxuu yidhi,

In the seventh, in the twenty and first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

2 H adda waxaad la hadashaa Serubaabel ina Salaatii'eel oo ah taliyaha dalka Yahuudah, iyo Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo ah wadaadka sare, iyo dadka intiisa hadhayba, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,

`Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, and unto the remnant of the people, saying:

3 Y aa hadhay oo idin dhex jooga oo gurigan ammaantiisii hore arkay? Haatanse sidee buu idiinla eg yahay? Sow meel aan waxba ahayn idiinlama eka?

Who among you hath been left that saw this house in its former honour? And what are ye seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?

4 H addaba Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Serubaabelow, xoog yeelo. Yashuuca ina Yehoosaadaaq oo wadaadka sare ahow, xoog yeelo. Dadkiinna dalka jooga oo dhammow, xoog yeesha oo shaqeeya, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idinla joogaa,

And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye -- (for I with you, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts) --

5 s idaan idiin ballanqaaday waagii aad Masar ka soo baxdeen, oo ruuxaygiina wuu idin dhex joogaa, haddaba ha cabsanina.

The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, fear not.

6 W aayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Weli wakhti yar oo gaaban baa ii hadhay, oo dabadeedna waxaan gariirin doonaa samooyinka, iyo dhulka, iyo badda, iyo berrigaba.

For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet once more -- it a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,

7 O o quruumaha oo dhanna waan gariirin doonaa, oo waxa ay quruumaha oo dhammu jeclaystaan way iman doonaan, oo anna gurigan waxaan ka buuxin doonaa ammaan, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.

And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house honour, Said Jehovah of Hosts.

8 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Lacagta anigaa leh, oo dahabkana anigaa leh.

Mine the silver, and Mine the gold, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

9 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Ammaanta gurigan dambe waa ka sii weynaan doontaa tan kii hore. Oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Meeshan dhexdeeda ayaan nabad ku siin doonaa. Barakada Dadka Nijaasoobay

Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give peace, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.'

10 B oqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bisheedii sagaalaad, maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

On the twenty and fourth of the ninth, in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

11 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaba wadaaddada waxaad weyddiisaan wax sharciga ku saabsan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan,

Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: `Ask, I pray thee, the priests the law, saying:

12 H addii mid darafka maradiisa ku qaato hilib quduusan, oo uu darafkiisu taabto kibis, ama fuud, ama khamri, ama saliid, ama wax kale oo cunta ah, miyey waxaasu quduus noqonayaan? Kolkaasaa wadaaddadii waxay ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen. Maya.

Lo, one doth carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he hath come with his skirt against the bread, or against the pottage, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food -- is it holy?' And the priests answer and say, `No.'

13 K olkaasaa Xaggay yidhi, Haddii mid ku nijaasoobo meyd oo uu taabto wax kuwan ka mid ah, miyaa kaasuu nijaasoobayaa? Oo wadaaddadiina waxay ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Wuu nijaasoobayaa.

And Haggai saith, `If the unclean of body doth come against any of these, is it unclean?' And the priests answer and say, `It is unclean.'

14 M arkaasaa Xaggay jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkanu waa saasoo kale, oo quruuntanuna saasoo kalay hortayda ku tahay, oo shuqul kasta oo ay gacmahooda ku qabtaanna waa saasoo kale, oo wixii ay halkaas ku bixiyaanna waa nijaas.

And Haggai answereth and saith, `So this people, and so this nation before Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and so every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there -- it is unclean.

15 H addaba waan idin baryayaaye, maanta intii ka bilaabata iyo wixii ka dambeeyaba ka fiirsada intaan dhagaxna dhagax la dul saarin macbudka Rabbiga,

And now, lay, I pray you, to your heart, From this day, and onwards, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of Jehovah.

16 i yo tan iyo wakhtigaas oo dhan markii la doonto tulmo ah labaatan, waxaa laga helay toban keliya, oo markii loo yimaado in macsarada khamriga laga soo dhaansado konton weel, waxaa ku jiray labaatan weel oo keliya.

From that time hath come to a heap of twenty, And it hath been ten, He hath come unto the wine-fat to draw out fifty purahs, And it hath been twenty.

17 A nigu shuqulka gacmihiinna oo dhan waxaan ku dhuftay beera-engeeg iyo cariyaysi iyo roobdhagaxyaale, laakiinse iima aydaan soo noqon ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

I have smitten you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail -- All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.

18 H addaba waan idin baryayaaye maanta intii ka bilaabata iyo wixii ka dambeeyaba ka fiirsada, oo bishii sagaalaad maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad oo ahayd maalintii la dhigay aasaaska macbudka Rabbiga, aad uga fiirsada.

Set, I pray you, to your heart, from this day and onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth, even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded, set to your heart.

19 M aqsinka iniino ma ku jiraan? Hubaal canabka iyo berdaha iyo rummaanka iyo saytuunka midkoodna midho ma dhalin, laakiinse maanta inta ka bilaabata waan idin barakayn doonaa. Serubaabel Waa Shaabaddii Rabbiga

Is the seed yet in the barn? And hitherto the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne -- from this day I bless.'

20 M arkaasaa mar labaad eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay, taasuna waxay ahayd bisha maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

And there is a word of Jehovah a second time unto Haggai, on the twenty and fourth of the month, saying:

21 L a hadal Serubaabel oo ah taliyaha dalka Yahuudah, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Waxaan gariirin doonaa samooyinka iyo dhulkaba,

`Speak unto Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying: I am shaking the heavens and the earth,

22 w aanan afgembiyi doonaa carshiga boqortooyooyinka, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa xoogga boqortooyooyinka quruumaha, waanan afgembiyi doonaa gaadhifardoodyada iyo kuwa fuushanba, oo fardaha iyo kuwa ku joogaaba way dhici doonaan, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa seefta walaalkiis.

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 come down have horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother.

23 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Serubaabelow, Addoonkaygiiyow, ina Salaatii'eelow, maalintaas waan ku qaadan doonaa, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa sidii shaabad oo kale, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan ku doortay.

In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
