Haggai 2
1 Hla rhih, hnin kul hnin khat dongkah BOEIPA ol he tonghma Haggai kut lamloh pai tih,
And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
2 Judah rhalboei Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel taengah khaw, khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua taengah khaw, pilnam kah a meet taengah khaw thui laeh.
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 “Hlamat vaengkah a thangpomnah dongah im aka hmu te nangmih khuiah unim aka sueng? Aka hmu rhoek nang te te metlam a om coeng? Te bang te na mik dongkah a hong bangla a om moenih a?
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 Tedae Zerubbabel aw, BOEIPA kah olphong bangla thaahuel laeh. Khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua thaahuel laeh. Khohmuen pilnam boeih loh thaahuel laeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Nangmih taengah ka om coeng dongah saii uh laeh. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
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 Ol he Egypt lamloh na lo vaengah ni nangmih taengah kang khueh coeng. Ka mueihla he na khui ah a om dongah rhih boeh.
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 Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vai khaw bet a om bal phoeiah tah vaan neh diklai khaw, tuitunli neh lanhak khaw ka hinghuen ni.
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 Namtom boeih te ka hinghuen vetih namtom boeih te sahnaih la ha pai uh ni. Te vaengah he im he thangpomnah ka bae sak ni tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui.
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 Cak he kamah kah tih sui khaw kamah kah ni. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 “He im thangpomnah tah lamhma lakah khaw lamhnuk ah a len om ni,” tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui. Te dongah he hmuen ah ngaimongnah ka paek ni. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
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 Darius kah a kum bae, hla ko, hin kul hnin li vaengah BOEIPA ol te tonghma Haggai taengla pai tih,
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 Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. “Khosoih te olkhueng dawt laeh,” a ti nah.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
12 Te dongah, “Hlang loh a himbai cun khuiah hmuencim maeh a phueih tih a hmoi neh buh khaw, andam khaw, misurtui khaw, situi khaw, caak te khat khat khaw, a ben te a ciim a?” a ti nah. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh a doo tih, “Cim mahpawh,” a ti uh.
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 Te phoeiah Haggai loh, “Hinglu rhalawt loh he he boeih a ben atah, a poeih nama?” a ti nah. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek a doo uh tih, “A poeih loella,” a ti uh.
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 Te phoeiah Haggai loh a doo tih, “Pilnam he khaw, namtom he khaw, ka mikhmuh ah te tlam ni a om. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te dongah a kut dongkah bibi boeih neh a khuen uh long khaw amah la hnap a cuem moenih.
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 Tahae khohnin lamlong tah na thinko ah dueh uh mai laeh. BOEIPA bawkim kah lungto soah lungto a tlingtlawn hang hlan ah.
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 A om vaengah a hlom pakul lo cakhaw parha ni a lo. Sum sawmnga la a duh va-am te khaw pakul ni a lo.
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 Namamih khaw, nangmih kut dongkah bitat boeih khaw, mawn neh, dung neh, rhael neh kang ngawn coeng. Tedae kai taengla na mael uh moenih. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
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 Tahae khohnin lamlong tah na thinko ah dueh uh laeh. BOEIPA bawkim a suen hnin lamloh a hlako hnin kul hnin li so hang te na thinko ah khueh uh laeh.
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 Cangpup khuiah cangti khaw om dae nim? Misur neh thaibu khaw, tale neh olive thing khaw cuen pawh. Tahae khohnin lamlong tah yoethen kam paek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
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 Te kah hla hnin kul neh hnin li hnin ah tah BOEIPA ol he Haggai taengah a pabae la cet tih,
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
21 “Judah rhalboei Zerubbabel taengah thui pah lamtah, 'Vaan neh diklai he ka hinghuen coeng.
Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
22 Ram ngolkhoel te ka palet vetih namtom ram kah thaa te ka bawt sak ni. Leng neh a sokah aka ngol khaw ka palet ni. Te vaengah marhang neh a sokah aka ngol khaw, hlang khaw a manuca kah cunghang dongah kaeh uh ni.
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 He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin ah tah ka sal Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel nang te kan loh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nang te kan coelh coeng dongah nang te kutbuen la kan khueh ni. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
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.
