¹In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, saying:

¹Boqor 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,

²Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! — they have said, `The time hath not come, The time the house of Jehovah [is] to be built.`

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

³And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

³Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Xaggay oo wuxuu yidhi,

⁴Is it time for you — you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?

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

⁵And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your ways.

⁵Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.

⁶Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.

⁶Wax 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.

⁷Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways.

⁷Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.

⁸Go up the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said Jehovah.

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

⁹Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought [it] home, and I blew on it, Wherefore? — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running — each to his house,

⁹Rabbiga 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.

¹⁰Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.

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

¹¹And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labour of the hands.`

¹¹Oo 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.

¹²And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah.

¹²Markaasaa 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.

¹³And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: `I [am] with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.`

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

¹⁴And Jehovah doth stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and do work in the house of Jehovah of Hosts their God,

¹⁴Kolkaasaa 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,oo taasuna waxay dhacday Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bishii lixaad, maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad.

¹⁵in the twenty and fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

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