< Haggai 2 >
1 Khrah sarihto haih, ni pumphaeto pacoeng, nito naah, Tahmaa Haggai khae hoi Angraeng ih lok to angzoh;
In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day] of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 Shealtiel capa, Judah prae ukkung, Zerubbabel hoi Jehosadak capa, kalen koek qaima Joshua hoi anghmat kaminawk khaeah,
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
3 canghni ah hae im lensawkhaih hnu kami na oh o vop maw? Vaihi loe kawbang maw na hnuk o boeh? Na khet o naah canghni ih lensawkhaih hoiah patah han koi timaw oh?
Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?
4 Toe Aw Zerubbabel, vaihi na thacaksak ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; Jehosadak capa, kalen koek qaima Joshua hoi prae thungah kaom nangcae ih kaminawk boih, na thacak o sak loe, tok to sah oh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih. Kai loe nangcae hoi nawnto oh:
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts,
5 Izip prae thung hoiah nang zoh o naah, nangcae hoi lokmaihaih ka sak ih baktih toengah, ka Muithla nangcae salakah oh: zii o hmah, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
[according to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my spirit abode among you: fear ye not.
6 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; nawnetta oh pacoengah, van hoi long, tuipui hoi saoengnawk to vaito ka huenh han vop;
For thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 prae kaminawk to ka huenh boih han, prae kaminawk boih mah koeh o ih hmuen to angzo tih: to naah hae im hae lensawkhaih hoiah ka koisak han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
and I will shake all nations, and the desirable things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
8 Sum kanglung loe kai ih hmuen ah oh, sui doeh kai ih ni, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih:
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 hnukkhuem ah sak ih hae im lensawkhaih loe canghni ih lensawkhaih pongah len kue tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih: hae ahmuen ah monghaih ka paek han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
10 Darius siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnet, khrah takawt, ni pumphae palito naah, Tahmaa Haggai khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,
In the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Sithaw lok mah timaw thuih, tito qaimanawk khaeah dueng oh,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 kami maeto mah kaciim ah sin ih moi to angmah ih kahni hoiah tapawk, a tapawk ih kahni hoiah takaw maw, moi maw, misurtui maw, situi maw, to tih ai boeh loe kawbaktih caaknaek maw sui nahaeloe ciim tih maw? tiah dueng oh, tiah a naa. To naah qaimanawk mah, Ciim mak ai, tiah a pathim pae o.
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 To pacoengah Haggai mah, Kadueh qok sui kami maeto mah hae ih hmuennawk hae sui nahaeloe ciimcai ai ah om mak ai maw? tiah a naa. To naah qimanawk mah ciimcai ai ah ni om tih, tiah pathim pae o.
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 To naah Haggai mah, Hae kaminawk hoi acaengnawk loe ka hmaa ah to tiah ni oh o, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih; a sak o ih hmuennawk hoi a paek o ih hmuennawk loe ciim ai.
Then answered Haggai and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 To pongah vaihni hoi kamtong kahoih ah poek oh; canghni ah loe Angraeng ih tempul thungah thlung maeto pacoeng maeto pahong o.
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
16 Canghnii ah loe kami maeto mah cang benthang pumphaeto tacawthaih ahmuen ah caeh naah, benthang hato khue ni a hak: kami maeto mah misurtui laom qui pangato pasawhhaih ahmuen ah caeh naah, laom pumphaeto khue ni a hak.
Through all that time, when one came to an heap of twenty [measures], there were but ten; when one came to the winefat for to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty.
17 Na ban hoi sak ih toknawk boih to kai mah, dantui hoi qaetui hoiah dankang paek o, toe kai khaeah nam laem o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the LORD.
18 Vaihni ni hoi kamtong, khrah takawtto haih, ni pumphaeto pacoeng, ni palito, Angraeng ih tempul sakhaih ni hoi kamtong, kahoih ah pakoep oh:
Consider, I pray you, from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month], since the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid, consider it.
19 tapup thungah cangtii oh maw? ue, vaihi khoek to misurthaih, thaiduet thaih, pomegranat thaih, Olive thaih athai ai vop: vaihni hoi kamtong tahamhoihaih kang paek o han boeh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree hath not brought forth; from this day will I bless [you].
20 To natheum ih khrah, ni pumphae palito naah, Haggai khaeah Angraeng ih lok angzoh let,
And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
21 Judah prae ukkung, Zerubbabel khaeah, Kai mah van hoi long to ka huen han;
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth:
22 siangpahrangnawk ih angraeng tangkhang to buenglueng tamlet ah ka pakhup pae moe, Sithaw panoek ai prae kaminawk thacakhaih to ka phraek pae han; hrang lakok hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk to ka palet pae han; hrang hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk loe angmacae nawkamyanawk ih sumsen hoiah dueh o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, to na niah loe Aw Shealtiel capa, ka tamna, Zerubbabel, nang to kang lak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; nang to ka qoih boeh pongah, sui bantuek baktiah kang sak han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
