Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, saying,
Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya motoba, Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Mosakoli Aje liloba oyo epai ya Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, moyangeli ya Yuda; epai ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe:
2 "This is what the LORD of hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for the LORD's house to be built.'"
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Bato oyo bazali koloba ete tango ekoki nanu te mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe. › »
3 Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, saying,
Nzokande, Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Aje:
4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
« Boni, bokanisi ete ezali mpo na bino tango ya kovanda na bandako ya kitoko wana Tempelo ezali ya kobeba? »
5 Now therefore this is what the LORD of hosts says: Consider your ways.
Sik’oyo, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bokanisa nanu malamu makambo nyonso oyo ezali kokomela bino.
6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not 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."
Bozali kolona milona ebele, kasi bozali kobuka bambuma moke kaka, bozali kolia kasi bozali kotonda te, bozali komela kasi bozali kosilisa posa na bino te, bozali kolata bilamba kasi malili ezali kosila te, mpe lifuti ya mosali ezali kokota na libenga etoboka. »
7 This is what the LORD of hosts says: "Consider your ways.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bokanisa nanu malamu makambo oyo ezali kokomela bino.
8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says the LORD.
Bokende na likolo ya bangomba, bokata mpe boya na banzete mpo na kotonga Tempelo, bongo nakosepela mpe nakozwa lokumu, » elobi Yawe.
9 "You looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says the LORD of hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
« Tala, bokanisaki kobuka bambuma ebele kasi bobuki kaka bambuma moke; mpe tango bomemi yango na bandako na bino, nafuli yango mopepe. Mpo na nini boye, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga? « Ezali mpo na Ndako na Ngai, oyo ezali ya kobeba, na tango oyo moto na moto azali komipesa na misala ya ndako na ye moko.
10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
Yango wana, likolo na bino, Lola ekangi mvula, mpe mabele eboyi kobota bambuma.
11 I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, on the oil, and on all what the ground produces, and on men, and on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands."
Nabengaki bokawuki na bilanga, na bangomba, na ble, na vino, na mafuta, na mbuma nyonso ya mabele, na bato, na bibwele mpe na mbuma nyonso ya mosala na bino. »
12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, 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 feared the LORD.
Boye Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli; Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe; mpe bato nyonso oyo batikalaki batosaki mongongo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe maloba ya mosakoli Aje kolanda ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na bango, atindaki ye. Mpe bato nyonso bakomaki kobanga Yawe.
13 Then Haggai, the LORD's messenger, spoke the LORD's message to the people, saying, "I am with you," says the LORD.
Bongo Aje, momemi sango ya Yawe, asakolaki epai ya bato maloba oyo na Kombo na Yawe: « Nazali elongo na bino, » elobi Yawe.
14 The LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
Mpe Yawe alendisaki Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, moyangeli ya Yuda; mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, elongo na bato nyonso oyo batikalaki. Bayaki mpe bamikotisaki na mosala ya kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe na bango,
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh the king.
na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya motoba, na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi.
