Haggai 2
1 Chuin chuche kum leh chuche lha ma ma nisim somni le sagi nin Pakai in themgao Haggai koma thu ahin seikit tai.
In the seventh [month], on the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 “Judah gamvaipo Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel ahin, thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua ahin, chuleh Pathen mite ahingdoh amoh cheng henga hitin seiyin:
Do say to Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
3 ‘Koipen ham hiche in hejing nalaiya? – hiche houin – masanga aloupina leh ahoina he nalai? Hiche toh chun tedinga tua hi i-toh nabah sah uvem? Imacha hiloubeh toh abang jeng tai!
Who is there yet left among you that hath seen this house in its first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in comparison with it as nothing in your eyes?
4 Ahin tun Pakai in aseiye: Zerubbabel hat’in. Thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua hat’in. Gamsunga umcheng mipi teho nang ho jong hat’uvin. Chuleh tun kipat-un, tong pan’un, ajeh chu keiman ka umpi naove tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye.
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord, and be strong O Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and do; [for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts, ]
5 Egypt nahin dalhah uva, kakitepna bang bangin, kalhagao nalah uva, aum jing nai. Hijeh chun kichah hih hel’un.”
[In accordance with] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so [will] my spirit remain among you: fear nought.
6 Ijeh-inem itihleh Pakai Van Sepai chun hitin aseiye: Chomkhat jouleh van le leiset kaholing kit ding, twikhanglen leh gam go lai jouse jong ka holing ding ahi.
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet one thing more [will I do], it is but little, when I will cause to quake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 Namtin vaipi kaholing ding ahi, chuleh athil khol jouseu hiche houin sunga hung kilhut soh ding, Loupi taha kadip soh hel ding ahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiyin ahi.
And I will cause to quake all the nations, and the precious things of all the nations shall come [hither]: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
8 Sana jong keiya ahin, dangka jong keiya ahi tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye.
Mine is the silver, and mine is the gold, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Masanga aloupina sanga hiche houin hi hung loupi jo cheh ding ahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun seiyin ahi.
Greater shall be the glory of this latter house than that of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Darius lengvaipoh kal kumni lhin kum, Ollha nisim som le get nin Pakai in themgao Haggai henga thu ahin seiye:
On the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Hiche hi Pakai van sepai chun asei ahi. Hiche dan thupeh chung changa thudoh ho chu thempu ho dongin:
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Do ask the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 ‘nangho laha koipen hamkhat chun akithensosa satheng chu asangkhol chol a podoh henlang chule asongkhol chol chun changlhah ham ahilouleh anme ham, lengpi twi ham, olive thao twi ham ahilou jongleh nehthei khat pen pen chu tongkha taleh hichun thensah uvin tem? Thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Thensah ponte,” atiuve.
Lo! if one should carry holy flesh in the corner of his garment, and touch with his corner bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Chuin Haggai in adong in, “Mihem khat mithi long atohkhat jeh'a dan dungjuiya aboh a um chun hiche neh le chah ho chu tongkha taleh, abohsah ding hitam?” Chuin thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Henge abohsah ahitai,” atiuve.
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body shall touch any of these, will it become unclean? And the priests answered and said, It will become unclean.
14 Chuin Haggai in adonbut in, “Hiche mipi le nam mite jong chu tobang chu ahiuve, tin Pakai in aseiye. Athilbol jouseu ahin chuleh athil todohu jouseu abon'a achonset uvin asuhboh sohji ahi.
Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so are all works of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
15 Pakai houin sahna dinga abul naphudoh masangun nachung uva ipi pi anasoh ham vephaovin.
And now direct, I pray you, your heart from this day and upward, before the time that a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord:
16 Na lou sohu thiltena som ni dinga nakinepiu chu som bou naki mubep un ahi. Lengpi twi tena somnga childoh dinga naginchat’u chu somni bou nate doh jouvin ahi.
Since those days were, when one came to a heap of sheaves of twenty [in number], and there were but ten; when one came to the winepress for to draw off fifty measures out of the vat, and there were but twenty.
17 Keiman nalouma jouseu ka motlhah sah’in, nget kaneh sah’in chuleh gelchang kalhah sah’in natohgau muchi chivo jouse kasumang in ahi. Hiche jouse nungin jong, ka henga nahung kile nom hih laiyuve, tin Pakai in aseiye.”
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands: yet ye [turned] not [back] to me, saith the Lord.
18 Phatechan tuni nikho, Ollha nisim som le get ni, hiche nikho, Pakai Houin ding abul kiphu nikho hi ngaitouvin. Lunggil tahin gel’uvin.
Direct, I pray you, your heart from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, direct your heart [to this].
19 Tu nikho, na changchi’u changsala aumpet’a kakitep ahi. Chang na at hih laiyui, lengpi twi le theichang phung le olive phung le kolbuthei phung hon ga asepdoh hihlai uve. Hijeng jongle tuni nikhoa pat’a phatthei kaboh ding nahi tauve.”
Is the seed yet in the barn? yes, as yet the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, have not brought forth; [but] from this day will I bless you.
20 Chuche nikho ma ma, Ollha nisim som le get nikhon Pakai in anivei chanan Haggai henga thu ahinsei kit in:
And the word of the Lord came the second time unto Haggai on the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 Judah gamvaipo Zerubbel henga seipehin, Keiman vanho jouse le leiset kaholing ding koncha ahitai.
Speak to Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, saying, I will cause to quake the heavens and the earth;
22 Leng gam jouse leh alaltounau jouse akhup athal’a kale ding, Sagol kangtalai le achunga tou jouse jong akhup athal’a kale ding ahi. Sakol jouse lhalhop soh ding chuleh achunga tou jouse amaho le amaho kithat todiu ahi.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow 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 “Hichu ahung lhung teng, ka lhacha Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel, jabolna kapeh ding nahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye. Keiman mohor kisemna khutjem banga kasem ding nahi, ajeh chu kalhendohsa nahi tai, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye. Pakai Van Sepai, Keiman tahin kasei ahi!” ati.
On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, the son of Shealthiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and I will place thee as a signet; for of thee have I made choice, saith the Lord of hosts.
