9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
9 Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi, Mikono yenu na iwe hodari, ninyi mnaosikia siku hizi maneno haya kwa vinywa vya manabii, waliokuwapo siku hiyo ulipowekwa msingi wa nyumba ya Bwana wa majeshi; yaani, hekalu hilo; ili lijengwe.
