If you have decided to translate this oracle so that it does not contain quotations within a quotation, you can translate the second-level quotations in this verse as indirect quotations. Alternate translation: “I, Yahweh of Armies, say that the latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, and I, Yahweh of Armies, declare that in this place I will give peace”

גָּד֣וֹל יִֽהְיֶ֡ה כְּבוֹד֩ הַבַּ֨יִת הַזֶּ֤ה הָאַֽחֲרוֹן֙ מִן־הָ֣רִאשׁ֔וֹן
big/great will_belong glory the,house the=this the,latter from/more_than the,former
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “The latter glory of this temple will be greater than the former glory of this temple” or “The latter glory of this temple will be greater than its former glory”

big/great will_belong glory the,house the=this the,latter from/more_than the,former
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “This temple will become more glorious now than it was before”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הַבַּ֨יִת
the,house
Here, as in many other instances throughout the book, Yahweh is speaking of his temple as if it were a house in which he lived. If you decided to translate the word house as “temple,” look back over your translation to make sure that you have done this consistently. Alternate translation: “temple”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וּבַמָּק֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן שָׁל֔וֹם
and,in/on/at/with,place the=this give peace
By this place, Yahweh most likely means Judea and especially Jerusalem. The enemies of the Judeans destroyed the previous temple, but Yahweh is promising here that he will now cause the nations to be at peace with them so that enemy armies do not destroy the rebuilt temple. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and here in Jerusalem I will give peace” or “and I will not allow your enemies to come here to Jerusalem and destroy this temple again”
2:9 future glory: Haggai might have in mind the Messiah’s coming to his Temple (see Mal 3:1). Jesus was presented in the Lord’s Temple as an infant (Luke 2:22), and he taught there as an adult (Luke 19:45-47). Jesus, the human Word of God, is greater than the Temple (Matt 12:6; see John 2:13-22). Although it was recognized by only a few, Jesus’ presence in the Temple far outshone the glory in the Tabernacle at the time of Moses and in Solomon’s Temple (cp. Luke 2:29-32).
• in this place I will bring peace: The priestly benediction (Num 6:24-26) was pronounced as part of the Temple liturgy. In the last days, God would make a covenant of peace with Israel (Ezek 34:25; 37:26). The good result of rebuilding the Temple was a guarantee on that future peace.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
