1 Te vaengah tonghma Haggai neh tonghma Iddo capa Zekhariah te tonghma rhoi. Amih rhoi tah a soah Israel Pathen ming a phuk thil Judah neh Jerusalem kah Yahudi tonghma rhoek ni.
Forsothe Aggei, the prophete, and Zacharie, the prophete, the sone of Ado, prophesieden, prophesiynge in the name of God of Israel, to the Jewis that weren in Juda and Jerusalem.
2 Te vaengah Shaeltiel capa Zerubbabel neh Jozadak capa Jeshua te thoo tih Jerusalem kah Pathen im sak ham te a tong uh. Pathen tonghma rhoek khaw amih rhoi taengah om tih amih rhoi te a bom uh.
Thanne Zorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, and Josue, the sone of Josedech, risiden, and bigunnen to bilde the temple of God in Jerusalem; and with hem rysyden the prophetis of God, helpynge hem.
3 Te vaeng tue ah amih taengla sok paem boei Tattenai, Shetharboznai neh a hui rhoek te cet. Te phoeiah amih te, “He im sak ham neh he imbang coeng ham nangmih taengah saithainah aka pae te unim?
Forsothe in that tyme Tatannai, that was duyk biyende the flood, and Starbusannay, and the counselouris of hem, camen to hem, and seiden thus to hem, Who yaf counsel to you to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
4 He im aka sa hlang rhoek ming te amih taengah ka thui uh bal coeng,” a ti uh.
To which thing we answeriden to hem, whiche weren the names of men, autours of that bildyng.
5 Tedae amih kah Pathen mik loh Yahudi a hamca rhoek a om thil dongah Darius taengla hlangcal pawk tih te ham te ca a mael hlan hil amih te paa sak pawh.
Forsothe the iye of God of hem was maad on the elde men of Jewis, and thei myyten not forbede the Jewis; and it pleside that the thing schulde be teld to Darius, and thanne thei schulden make satisfaccioun ayens that accusyng.
6 Sok paem boei Tattenai, Shetharboznai neh a hui rhoek, sok paem kah boei rhoek loh Darius manghai taengla ca tlaep te a pat.
This is the saumpler of the pistle, which Tathannai, duyk of the cuntrey biyende the flood, and Starbursannai, and hise counselouris, Arphasacei, that weren biyende the flood, senten to kyng Darius.
7 Anih taengla ol a pat uh vaengah a khui ah he tlam he a daek. Darius manghai taengah ngaimongnah boeih om saeh.
The word which thei senten to hym was writun thus; Al pees be to the kyng Darius.
8 Judah paeng kah boeilen Pathen im la ka caeh te manghai taengah mingpha saeh. Te te lung nu a sak uh tih thoh khuiah thing neh a pae. Imsak he tluem tluem a saii tih a kut dongah bi khaw song.
Be it knowun to the kyng, that we yeden to the prouince of Judee, to the hows of greet God, which is bildid with stoon vnpolischid, and trees ben set in the wallis, and thilke werk is bildid diligently, and encreessith in the hondis of hem.
9 A hamca rhoek te ka dawt tangloeng bal tih amih te, “He im sak ham neh imbang he coeng ham nangmih taengah saithainah aka pae te unim?” ka ti uh.
Therfor we axiden tho elde men, and thus we seiden to hem, Who yaf to you power to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
10 Nang taengah mingpha sak ham amih te a ming khaw ka dawt uh. Amih lu soah hlang rhoek ming te khaw ka daek uh hamla.
But also we axiden of hem the names `of hem, that we schulden telle to thee; and we han write the names of men, whiche thei ben, that ben princes among hem.
11 Tedae ol te kaimih taengla ham mael uh tih amamih te, “Kaimih tah vaan neh diklai Pathen kah a tueihyoeih rhoek ni. Im a sak he hlamat kum a yet lamloh sak tangtae om coeng. Israel kah manghai boeilen loh a sak tih a coeng.
Sotheli thei answeriden bi sich word, and seiden, We ben the seruauntis of God of heuene and of erthe; and we bilden the temple that was bildid bifor these many yeeris, and `which temple the greet kyng of Israel `hadde bildid, and maad.
12 Tedae a pa rhoek loh vaan Pathen te a veet uh lamloh amih te Khalden kah Babylon manghai Nebukhadnezzar kut ah a paek. Te vaengah im he a khaih tih pilnam he Babylon la a khuen.
But aftir that oure fadris stiryden God of heuene and of erthe to wrathfulnesse, bothe he bitook hem in the hond of Nabugodonosor, Caldey, kyng of Babiloyne; and he distriede this hows, and translatide the puple therof in to Babiloyne.
13 Babylon manghai Cyrus kah kah kum ah tah manghai Cyrus loh Pathen im he sak hamla saithainah a paek.
Forsothe in the firste yeer of Cirus, king of Babiloyne, Cirus, the king of Babiloyne, settide forth `a comaundement, that the hows of God schulde be bildid.
14 Pathen im kah hnopai pataeng sui neh cak khaw Jerusalem bawkim lamkah te, Nebukhadnezzar loh a loh tih Babylon kah bawkim la a khuen. Te te Cyrus manghai loh Babylon bawkim lamkah a loh. Te phoeiah a ming Sheshbazzar la a khue tih boei la a khueh taengah a paek uh.
For whi kyng Cirus brouyte forth `fro the temple of Babiloyne also the goldun and siluerne vessels of Goddis temple, whiche Nabugodonosor hadde take fro the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and hadde bore tho awei in to the temple of Babiloyne; and tho vessels weren youun to Sasabazar bi name, whom `he made also prince. And Cirus seide to hym, Take these vessels,
15 Te phoeiah anih te, “Hnopai he khuen lamtah cet laeh. Te Jerusalem kah bawkim ah khueh laeh. Pathen im khaw amah hmuen ah sa saeh,” a ti nah.
and go, and sette tho in the temple, which is in Jerusalem; and the hows of God be bildid in `his place.
16 Sheshbazzar cet tangloeng tih Jerusalem kah Pathen im te khoengim a tloeng. Te lamlong tah tahae hil a sak uh dae coeng uh pawh.
Therfor thanne thilke Sasabazar cam, and settide the foundementis of Goddis temple in Jerusalem; and fro that tyme `til to now it is bildid, and is not yit fillid.
17 Manghai ham khaw a ngaih coeng mak atah Babylon manghai kah cabu im kah te pahoi thoelh saeh. Jerusalem ah Pathen im sak hamla manghai Cyrus lamloh saithainah a paek te a om khaming. Te dongah manghai kah a ngaihnah mah kaimih taengla ham pat saeh.
Now therfor if it `semeth good to the king, rikene he in the biblet of the kyng, which is in Babiloyne, whether it be comaundid of kyng Cyrus, that Goddis hows schulde be bildid in Jerusalem; and sende he to vs the wille of the kyng `on this thing.
