²⁹ Polo y yugojo gui jilomiyo, ya infaneyag guiya guajo, sa guajo manso yan umitde gui corasonjo; ya infanmañoda descanso para y antinmiyo.

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.'"

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

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

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

⁶ You 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."

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

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

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.

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