< Hagai 2 >

1 Tarik piero ariyo gachiel e dwe mar abiriyo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kokalo kuom janabi Hagai kawacho niya:
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
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,
“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 ‘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 who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes as nothing?
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.
Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says Yahweh. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says Yahweh, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
5 ‘Ma e gima ne asingorae kodu kane uwuok e piny Misri. Kendo Roho mara nikodu kinde duto. Kik ubed maluor.’
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t 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;
For this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry 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. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.
8 ‘Fedha gi dhahabu gin maga,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
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 latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”
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, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho ni, ‘Penj jodolo mondo odwoki gima chik wacho:
“Yahweh of Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
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 someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” 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 Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will 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.’
Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says Yahweh; ‘and so is every work of their hands. 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?
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.
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.
Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, 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 you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says Yahweh.
18 ‘Paruru ahinya kochakore kawuono tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dwe mar ochiko, ma en odiechiengʼ mane oketie mise mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider it.
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.’”
Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”
20 Wach mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro nyadiriyo ni janabi Hagai chiengʼ tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dweno:
Yahweh’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 “Wachne Zerubabel ma jatend Juda ni, ‘Abiro yiengo polo gi piny.
“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘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.
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
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, says Yahweh of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says Yahweh, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”
