1In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
1 Bonkoono Dariyus jiiri hinkanta handu iddanta, hando jirbi sintina ra no Rabbi sanno kaa annabi* Haggay do, Zerubabel Seyaltiyel izo kaŋ ga Yahudiya* may se. A kaa alfaga* beero Yehozadak izo Yesuwa mo se ka ne:
2Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
2 Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci neeya: Dumi wo go ga ne: «Alwaato mana to kaŋ i ga Rabbi windo cina.»
3And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
3 Waato din gaa no Rabbi sanno kaa annabi Haggay do ka ne:
4Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
4 A mana hima araŋ ma goro araŋ fu taalamantey ra, windi woone binde go kurmu.
5And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
5 Sohõ binde Rabbi Kundeykoyo ne: Wa laakal ye araŋ muraadey gaa.
6Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes.
6 Araŋ na iboobo duma, amma araŋ wi kayna fo. Araŋ ŋwa, amma araŋ mana kungu. Araŋ haŋ, amma araŋ mana yesi. Araŋ na bankaaray daŋ, amma araŋ hargu mana fun. Boro kaŋ goono ga du banandi mo goono g'a daŋ zika kaŋ gonda funeyaŋ ra.
7Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
7 Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi Kundeykoyo goono ga ci neeya: Wa laakal ye araŋ muraadey gaa.
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 Jehovah.
8 Wa kaaru tondi beero boŋ ka bunduyaŋ sambu k'ay windo cina. Ay mo, ya maa kaani nda woodin, ay ma du darza mo. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
9Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to his own house.
9 Araŋ tammahã araŋ ga du hari boobo, a go mo, a ciya kayna fo. Waato kaŋ araŋ ye ka kand'a fu mo, ay n'a funsu. Ifo se? Rabbi Kundeykoyo ne: Ay windo sabbay se no, zama a goono ga goro kurmu, amma araŋ goono ga zuru, boro kulu ga koy nga windo ra.
10Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
10 Araŋ sabbay se no beena wangu ka harandaŋ te, laabo mo goono ga nga nafa ganji.
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 man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
11 Ay na kwaari mo ce ka ne a ma kaa laabo gaa, da tondi kuukey gaa, da ntaaso, da reyzin* hari taji, da ji, da haŋ kaŋ laabo ga hay kulu, da borey, da almaney, d'araŋ kambe goy taabi kulu mo gaa.
12And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people feared before Jehovah.
12 Waato din gaa Zerubabel, Seyaltiyel izo, da alfaga beero Yesuwa, Yehozadak izo, da jama kulu kaŋ cindi, i na Rabbi ngey Irikoyo sanno gana. I maa annabi Haggay sanney se mo, za kaŋ Rabbi i Irikoyo no k'a donton, borey mo humburu Rabbi.
13Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
13 Alwaato din Rabbi diya Haggay na Rabbi sanno dede jama se ka ne: Rabbi ne: «Ay go araŋ banda.»
14And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
14 A binde, Zerubabel Seyaltiyel izo kaŋ ga Yahudiya may, da alfaga beero Yesuwa Yehozadak izo, da jama kulu kaŋ cindi din, Rabbi n'i biyey bare hal i kaa ka goy Rabbi Kundeykoyo, ngey Irikoyo windo ra.
15in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
15 Woodin sintin bonkoono Dariyus jiiri hinkanta handu iddanta, jirbi waranka cindi taacanta hane.
