Hagai 2
1 Pa tsiku la 21 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa mneneri Hagai kuti:
And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
2 “Yankhula kwa Zerubabeli mwana wa Sealatieli, bwanamkubwa wa Yuda, kwa Yoswa mwana wa Yehozadaki, mkulu wa ansembe, ndi kwa anthu onse otsala. Afunse kuti,
Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
3 ‘Kodi alipo amene watsala pakati panu amene anaona ulemerero wakale wa Nyumba iyi? Nanga tsopano ikuoneka motani kwa inu? Kodi sikuoneka ngati yopanda pake kwa inu?
Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
4 Iwe Zerubabeli, limba mtima tsopano,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Limba mtima, iwe Yoswa mwana wa Yehozadaki, mkulu wa ansembe. Limbani mtima, anthu nonse a mʼdziko,’ akutero Yehova, ‘ndipo gwirani ntchito. Pakuti ine ndili nanu,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
5 ‘Izi ndi zimene ndinapangana nanu pamene munkatuluka ku Igupto. Ndipo Mzimu wanga uli pakati panu. Musachite mantha.’
The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
6 “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Pakapita nthawi pangʼono ndidzagwedezanso thambo ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi mtunda.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
7 Ndidzagwedeza mitundu yonse ya anthu, ndipo chimene mitundu yonse ya anthu imachifuna chidzabwera, ndipo ndidzaza Nyumba ino ndi ulemerero,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
8 ‘Siliva yense ndi wanga, golide yense ndi wanganso,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 ‘Ulemerero wa nyumba iyi udzaposa ulemerero wa nyumba yoyamba ija,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. ‘Ndipo pamalo pano ndidzakhazikitsapo mtendere,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”
Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Chaka chachiwiri cha Dariyo, pa tsiku la 24 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chinayi, Yehova anayankhula ndi mneneri Hagai kuti:
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
11 “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Funsa ansembe za zimene lamulo likunena:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
12 Ngati munthu wakulunga nyama yopatulika mu mkanjo wake, ndipo mkanjowo nʼkukhudza buledi kapena msuzi, kapena vinyo, mafuta kapena chakudya cha mtundu wina uliwonse, kodi zimenezo zimasanduka zopatulika?’” Ansembe anayankha kuti, “Ayi.”
If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
13 Pamenepo Hagai anati, “Ngati munthu amene anayipitsidwa pokhudza mtembo akhudza chimodzi cha zinthu zimenezi, kodi chinthucho chimayipitsidwa?” Ansembe anayankha kuti, “Inde, chimayipitsidwa.”
And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
14 Pamenepo Hagai anati, “‘Ndi mmene zilili ndi anthu awa ndi dziko ili pamaso panga,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Chilichonse amachita ndiponso chilichonse chimene amapereka nʼchodetsedwa.
And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
15 “‘Tsopano muganizire zimenezi kuyambira lero mpaka mʼtsogolo. Ganizirani momwe zinthu zinalili asanayambe kumanga nyumba ya Yehova.
And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
16 Pamene munthu ankayembekezera miyeso ya tirigu makumi awiri ankangopeza khumi yokha. Munthu akapita kuti akatunge miyeso makumi asanu ya vinyo mu mtsuko, ankangopeza miyeso makumi awiri yokha.
When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
17 Ndinawononga ntchito yonse ya manja anu ndi chinsikwi, chiwawu ndi matalala, komabe inu simunatembenukire kwa Ine,’ akutero Yehova
I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
18 ‘Kuyambira lero tsiku la 24 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chinayi mpaka mʼtsogolo, chonde ganizirani bwino tsiku limene munayika maziko a nyumba ya Yehova. Ganizirani bwino.
Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
19 Kodi mʼnkhokwe mwatsala mbewu? Mpaka lero, mpesa ndi mtengo wa mkuyu, makangadza ndi mtengo wa olivi sizinabereke zipatso. “‘Kuyambira lero mpaka mʼtsogolo ndidzakudalitsani.’”
Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
20 Yehova anayankhula ndi Hagai kachiwiri, pa tsiku la 24 la mwezi kuti:
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
21 “Uza Zerubabeli, bwanamkubwa wa Yuda, kuti ndidzagwedeza thambo ndi dziko lapansi.
Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
22 Ndidzagwetsa mipando yaufumu ndi kuwononga mphamvu za maufumu achilendo. Ndidzagubuduza magaleta ndi okwerapo ake; akavalo ndi okwerapo ake adzagwa, aliyense adzaphedwa ndi lupanga la mʼbale wake.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 “‘Tsiku limenelo,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ‘ndidzakutenga, iwe mtumiki wanga Zerubabeli mwana wa Sealatieli,’ akutero Yehova, ‘ndipo ndidzakusandutsa kukhala mphete yanga yolamulira, pakuti ndasankha iwe,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
