In the second year of the reign of king Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest.

The Lord Almighty says this: the people say, “This isn't the proper time to rebuild the Lord's house.”
3 and to be word LORD in/on/with hand: power Haggai [the] prophet to/for to say
Then the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai, saying,
4 time to/for you you(m. p.) to/for to dwell in/on/with house: home your to cover and [the] house: home [the] this desolate
Is it the proper time for you to live in your paneled houses while this house remains a ruin?

So the Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!

You have sown much but harvested little. You eat but you're still hungry. You drink but you're still thirsty. You put on clothes but you're still cold. You work hard to earn money but put it in a bag full of holes.
7 thus to say LORD Hosts to set: consider heart your upon way: conduct your
The Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!

Go into the hills and bring wood to build the house. This will please me and honor me, says the Lord.

You were hoping for so much, but look, it turned out to be so little. Everything you brought home I blew away. And why was that? Because my house remains a ruin while you are preoccupied with building your own houses, declares the Lord Almighty.
10 upon so upon you to restrain (heaven *Lb) from dew and [the] land: country/planet to restrain crops her
That's why the clouds of heaven refused to send rain, and the earth refused to produce crops.

I called for a drought on the land, on the hills, on the grain fields, on the vineyards, and on the olive groves—on whatever the earth produces—and on people and livestock, on everything you do!
