¹In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the Word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

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

²“This is what Yahweh of Armies says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for Yahweh’s house to be built.’”

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

³Then the Word of Yahweh came by Haggai, the prophet, saying,

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

⁴“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?

⁵Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.

⁵Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways.

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.

⁶You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.”

⁷Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadkiinna ka fiirsada.

⁷This is what Yahweh of Armies says: “Consider your ways.

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

⁸Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh.

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.

⁹“You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

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

¹⁰Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.

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.

¹¹I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground brings forth, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”
