Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:
Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu olumu mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nti,
2 'Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:
“Yogera ne Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ow’essaza lya Yuda ne Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu, n’abantu abaasigalawo, obabuuze nti,
3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is not such a one as nothing in your eyes?
‘Ani mu mmwe akyasigaddewo eyalaba ku kitiibwa ky’ennyumba eno? Ebafaananira etya kaakano? Tebafaananira ng’eteriimu kaabuntu?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work; for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts.
Kale nno guma omwoyo, ggwe Zerubbaberi, bw’ayogera Mukama; guma omwoyo, ggwe Yoswa mutabani wa Yekozadaaki kabona asinga obukulu; mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abantu ab’omu nsi,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘Mukole, kubanga ndi wamu nammwe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
5 The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye not.
‘Kino kye nalagaana nammwe bwe mwali muva mu Misiri, ng’Omwoyo wange anaabeeranga nammwe. Temutya.’
6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
“Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Mu bbanga eritali ly’ewala ndikankanya eggulu n’ensi, n’ennyanja n’olukalu.
7 and I will shake all nations, and the choicest things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
Ndikankanya amawanga gonna, n’amawanga gonna ge njagala galijja, ne nzijuza ennyumba eno ekitiibwa,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
8 Mine is the silver, and Mine the gold, saith the LORD of hosts.
‘Effeeza yange, ne zaabu yange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye.
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the LORD of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.'
‘Ekitiibwa eky’ennyumba eriwo kaakano, kirisinga ekitiibwa ky’eri eyasooka era mu kifo kino ndizzaawo emirembe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:
Awo ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogw’omwenda mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’okufuga kwa Daliyo, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi Kaggayi nti,
11 'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests for instruction, saying:
“Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Buuza bakabona etteeka kye ligamba.
12 If one bear hallowed flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be holy?' And the priests answered and said: 'No.'
Omuntu bw’asitulira ennyama eyatukuzibwa mu kirenge eky’ekyambalo kye, ekirenge ne kikoma ku mugaati oba ku supu, oba ku wayini, oba ku mafuta oba ku mmere endala yonna, bitukuzibwa?’” Bakabona ne baddamu nti, “Nedda.”
13 Then said Haggai: 'If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?' And the priests answered and said: 'It shall be unclean.'
Awo Kaggayi n’abuuza nti, “Omuntu atali mulongoofu olw’omulambo, bw’akoma ku bintu ebyo, bifuuka ebitali birongoofu?” Bakabona ne baddamu nti, “Bifuuka ebitali birongoofu.”
14 Then answered Haggai, and said: 'So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
Kaggayi n’addamu nti, “Kale nno bwe batyo bwe bali abantu bano n’eggwanga lino. Buli kye bakola ne buli kye bawaayo ng’ekiweebwayo, si kirongoofu,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and forward — before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD,
“‘Kale nno, mweddeko okuva ku lunaku lwa leero, mujjukire ebiseera biri bwe byali, nga n’ejjinja erimu terinnateekebwa ku linnaalyo mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
16 through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw out fifty press-measures, there were but twenty;
Omuntu yenna bwe yatuukanga ku ntuumu eyandibadde ey’ebipimo amakumi abiri, yassangawo ebipimo kkumi. Omuntu yenna bwe yalaganga mu ssogolero okusenamu lita amakumi ataano, yasangangamu amakumi abiri.
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye turned not to Me, saith the LORD —
Nakolimira emirimu gyonna egy’emikono gyammwe n’okugengewala n’obukuku, n’omuzira, naye ne mutakyuka kudda gye ndi,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
18 consider, I pray you, from this day and forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it;
Okuva olunaku lwa leero, olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya mu mwezi ogw’omwenda, mujjukire olunaku lwe baazimba omusingi gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama. Mwebuuze nti,
19 is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree hath not brought forth — from this day will I bless you.'
Wakyaliwo ensigo eyasigala mu tterekero? Mulabe, emiti gino egimenyeddwa, ogw’omuzabbibu n’ogw’omutiini, n’ogw’omukomamawanga, n’ogw’omuzeeyituuni tegibalangako bibala. “‘Naye okuva ne leero ndibawa omukisa.’”
20 And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Kaggayi omulundi ogwokubiri ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogwo nga kigamba nti,
21 'Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will shake the heavens and the earth;
“Tegeeza Zerubbaberi gavana wa Yuda nti ndikankanya eggulu n’ensi.
22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Ndisulika entebe ez’obwakabaka ne nzigyawo obuyinza bw’obwakabaka obunnaggwanga. Ndiwamba amagaali n’abavuzi baago, n’embalaasi na buli abazeebagala, balittibwa baganda baabwe.
23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.'
“‘Ku lunaku olwo, ggwe omuweereza wange Zerubbaberi mutabani wa Seyalutyeri, ndikufuula ng’akabonero, kubanga nkulonze,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
