Hagai 2
1 Tarik piero ariyo gachiel e dwe mar abiriyo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kokalo kuom janabi Hagai kawacho niya:
on the twenty-first day of the seventh month, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet,
2 “Wuo kod Zerubabel wuod Shealtiel, ma en jatend Juda kaachiel gi Joshua wuod Jehozadak ma jadolo maduongʼ kod joma notony moa e twech. Penjgi niya,
telling him to speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the rest of the people:
3 ‘En ngʼa modongʼ e dieru mane oneno hekaluni kapod nigi duongʼne machon? Koro sani to uneno kochal nade? Donge ochalonu mana ka gima nono?’
Who is left among you that saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Doesn’t it seem as though there is nothing there?
4 Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Bed motegno, yaye Zerubabel. Bed motegno, yaye Joshua wuod Jehozadak, ma jadolo maduongʼ.’ Jehova Nyasaye medo wacho ni, ‘Beduru motegno, un ji duto modak e pinyni kendo tiuru matek nimar an kodu,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
The Lord says: Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel, be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, be strong, all you people of the land. The Lord says: Begin the work, for I am with you. The Lord of hosts says:
5 ‘Ma e gima ne asingorae kodu kane uwuok e piny Misri. Kendo Roho mara nikodu kinde duto. Kik ubed maluor.’
When your ancestors left Egypt I made a promise to you, and I am still with you. Do not be afraid!
6 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho, ‘Pod odongʼ mana kinde matin, abiro chako yiengo kendo polo kod piny, gi nam, kaachiel gi piny motwo;
The Lord of hosts says: In a little while, I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the land.
7 bende abiro yiengo ogendini duto, ma ginikel mwandugi duto, kendo abiro pongʼo hekaluni gi duongʼ.’ An Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema awacho kamano.
And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come here; and I will fill this temple with glory. The Lord of hosts says:
8 ‘Fedha gi dhahabu gin maga,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,
9 ‘Duongʼ ma hekaluni biro bedogo achien, biro loyo mano mane en godo mokwongo,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho. ‘Anakel kwe gi mwandu kae,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.”
The later glory of this temple shall be greater than the former. The Lord of hosts says: In this place I will grant prosperity. This is the message of the Lord of hosts.
10 Kane ochopo tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen e higa mar ariyo mar loch Darius, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro gi dwond janabi Hagai kawacho niya:
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
11 “Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho ni, ‘Penj jodolo mondo odwoki gima chik wacho:
The Lord of hosts says: “Ask the priests for a ruling:
12 Ka ngʼato oketo ringʼo mowal ni Nyasaye e riak nangane, ma riak nanganeno ogere kuom makati, kata kuom kado, kata kuom divai, kata kuom mo, kata ei chiemo moro amora, to koro gima ogere kuomeno bende inyalo walo ni tich Nyasaye?’” Jodolo nodwoko niya, “Mano ok kamano.”
‘If one carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and with that garment touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered: “No.”
13 Eka Hagai nowacho niya, “Ka ngʼato omulo ringre ngʼat motho, makoro obedo mogak, eka bangʼe ngʼatni ogere kuom gimoro, koro gino bende bedo mogak?” Jodolo nodwoke niya, “Obedo mogak.”
Then said Haggai, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” And the priests answered: “It would be unclean.”
14 Eka Hagai nowacho niya, “‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni: Mano bende e kaka jo-Israel kod gik moko duto ma giwachona ei hekaluni ogak.’
Haggai replied: “So is this people and so is this nation before me, the Lord declares, and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 “‘Koro paruru anena gima biro timore chakre kawuono, kane pok uchako gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to ne ochalo nade?
Think back from this day, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
16 Donge kata kane ngʼato obiro iru ka ukayo cham koparo ni onyalo yudo ogunde piero ariyo, to oyudo apar kende? Kendo kane obiro kar biyo divai, koparo ni onyalo yudo chupni piero abich, to ne oyudo mana piero ariyo kende.
How were you? When you came to a heap of grain expecting twenty measures, there were only ten; when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were only twenty.
17 Chambu duto ne aketho gi dera kod pe, to kata bangʼ timo magi to pod ne udagi duogo ira,’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
‘I struck all the work of your hands with blasting and blight, with mildew and with hail. Yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says the Lord,
18 ‘Paruru ahinya kochakore kawuono tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dwe mar ochiko, ma en odiechiengʼ mane oketie mise mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
‘Think back from this day, think! From the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day when the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and consider.
19 Bende nitiere kodhi ma pod ni ei dero? Nyaka kawuononi mzabibu gi ngʼowu gi olemo mongʼinore kod zeituni pod ok nyag olemo. “‘Chakre kawuono abiro olo gwethna kuomu.’”
The seed is in the granary, but the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree have not yet brought forth fruit. From this day will I bless you.’”
20 Wach mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro nyadiriyo ni janabi Hagai chiengʼ tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dweno:
This message from the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
21 “Wachne Zerubabel ma jatend Juda ni, ‘Abiro yiengo polo gi piny.
Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 Abiro loko loch mag ruodhi; kendo abiro ketho teko mag pinje mamoko, abiro goyo geche mag lweny piny, kaachiel gi joma oidhogi. Ngʼato ka ngʼato biro kedo gi owadgi, kendo farese kod joma oidhogi nonegi.
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 who ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, each by the sword of his fellow.
23 “‘E odiechiengno, anakawi in Zerubabel wuod Shealtiel ma jatichna kendo anaketi ibed ruodh jogo, nikech in ema sani koro aseyieri.’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.”
In that day, the Lord of hosts says, I will take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, the Lord says, and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, the Lord of hosts says.
