¹In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,

¹Yô xcab chihab roquic chokß rey aran Persia laj Darío saß li xbên cutan re li xcuak po nak quiâtinac li Kâcuaß riqßuin li profeta Hageo. Li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Dios quixye re laj Zorobabel, li gobernador, li ralal laj Salatiel. Ut quixye ajcuiß re laj Josué li xbênil aj tij, li ralal laj Josadac.

²Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.

²Aßan aßin li quixye li nimajcual Dios re laj Hageo: —Li tenamit aßin nequeßxye nak toj mâjiß nacuulac xkßehil nak teßxyîb cuißchic lin templo, chan.

³Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

³Ut laj Hageo quixye reheb li tenamit li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Dios ut quixye:

⁴Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

⁴—¿Ma xkßehil ta biß chokß êre lâex nak texcuânk saß châbil cab ut lix templo li Kâcuaß incßaß nequecßoxla xyîbanquil?

⁵Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

⁵Li nimajcual Dios quixye reheb: —Checßoxla chi us li cßaßru yôquex chixbânunquil.

⁶Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

⁶Kßaxal nabal nequerau, ut mâcßaß ajcuiß nequekßol; nequexcuaßac ut incßaß nequexnujac; nequex-ucßac ut incßaß nanumeß lê chaki el; nequeqßue lê rakß chêrix ut incßaß nequextikcuoß; li nacßanjelac saß cutan, chanchan saß hopol aj bôls naxqßue lix tojbal.

⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

⁷Li nimajcual Dios quixye reheb: —Checßoxla chi us li cßaßru yôquex chixbânunquil.

⁸Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

⁸Joßcan nak ayukex saß li qßuicheß ut sicßomak chak li cheß ut yîbomak cuißchic lin santil templo ut lâin tâsahokß saß inchßôl ut aran tinlokßonîk, chan li Kâcuaß.

⁹Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.

⁹Nabal nequesicß ut caßchßin ajcuiß nequetau. Lâin chanchan apunbil tinbânu nak tinmakß chêru li cßaßru nequexoc saß lê rochoch, xban nak moco ra ta chicuu nak tinbânu. ¿Cßaßut nak tinbânu êre chi joßcan? chan li nimajcual Dios. Xban nak kßaxal nequeqßue êchßôl chixyîbanquil chi us lê rochoch ut incßaß nequecßoxla xyîbanquil lin templo, chan.

¹⁰Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.

¹⁰Lâex quexmâcob. Joßcan nak incßaß quintakla li hab saß xbên lê chßochß ut incßaß quimok lê racuîmk.

¹¹And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

¹¹Lâin xinbânun re nak incßaß quixqßue li hab. Lâin xinchakihobresin re lê racuîmk. Quichakic li cßaßru cuan saß li cßalebâl ut saß eb li tzûl. Quichakic lê trigo joßqueb ajcuiß lê uvas. Ut quichakic xtônal lê olivos. Quilajeßchakic chixjunil lê racuîmk ut tâchakik ajcuiß êre lâex joßeb ajcuiß lê quetômk. Quicana chi mâcßaß rajbal li trabaj li quebânu.

¹²Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.

¹²Li profeta Hageo quixye reheb chixjunil li quiyeheß re xban li Dios. Nak queßrabi li cßaßru quixye, laj Zorobabel li ralal laj Salatiel ut laj Josué li xbênil aj tij, li ralal laj Josadac, joßqueb ajcuiß chixjunileb li tenamit, queßxxucua ru li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb. Ut queßxbânu li quixye.

¹³Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.

¹³Ut laj Hageo, lix profeta li Dios, quiâtinac riqßuineb li tenamit saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß Dios. Quixye reheb: —Joßcaßin xye êre li Dios: Lâin cuânkin êriqßuin, chan.

¹⁴And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

¹⁴Ut li Kâcuaß quixqßue xcacuil xchßôl laj Zorobabel, li ralal laj Salatiel, li gobernador re Judá, joß ajcuiß laj Josué lix bênil aj tij, li ralal laj Josadac. Ut quixqßue ajcuiß xcacuileb xchßôl li tenamit, ut queßoc chi cßanjelac re xyîbanquil lix templo li nimajcual Dios.Queßxtiquib cßanjelac saß li câhib xcaßcßâl xbe li xcuak po re li xcab chihab roquic chokß rey laj Darío.

¹⁵In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

¹⁵Queßxtiquib cßanjelac saß li câhib xcaßcßâl xbe li xcuak po re li xcab chihab roquic chokß rey laj Darío.
