< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
दारा राजाको दोस्रो बर्षको छैटौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा, शालतिएलका छोरा यहूदाका राज्यपाल यरुबाबेल, र यहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पूजाहारी यहोशूकहाँ अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,
2 These are the words of the Lord of armies: These people say, The time has not come for building the Lord's house.
“सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: यी मानिसहरू भन्छन्, ‘हामी आएर परमप्रभुको भवन निर्माण गर्ने समय अझै आएको छैन’ ।”
3 Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
त्यसपछि अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,
4 Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?
“यो मन्दिर ध्वस्त हुँदा के यो तिमीहरू आफ्ना सुन्दर घरहरूमा बस्‍ने समय हो?
5 For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.
यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: आफ्ना मार्गहरूमाथि ध्यान देओ!
6 Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.
तिमीहरूले प्रशस्त बीऊ छरेका छौ, तर फसल भने थोरै मात्र ल्याउँछौ, तिमीहरू खान्छौ तर तिमीहरूसँग पर्याप्‍त छैन । तिमीहरू पिउँछौ, तर प्रशस्त मद्य तिमीहरूसँग छैन । तिमीहरू लुगा लगाउँछौ तर आफैँलाई तातो राख्‍न सक्दैनौ, र ज्यालादारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले पैसा कमाउँछन् तर तिनीहरूले ती प्वालहरू भएका झोलामा राख्दछन् ।”
7 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Give thought to your ways.
सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: “आफ्ना मार्गहरूमाथि ध्यान देओ ।
8 Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.
माथि पर्वतमा जाओ, काठहरू ल्याओ, र मेरो भवन बनाओ, अनि म त्यसमा आनन्द मनाउनेछु, र म महिमित हुनेछु - परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
9 You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.
“तिमीहरूले धेरै कुराको खोजी गर्‍यौ, तर हेर! तिमीहरूले घरमा थोरै कुरा ल्यायौ, कनभने मैले ती उडाइदिएँ । किन?” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । “किनभने मेरो भवन भग्‍नावशेषको बिचमा छ, तर तिमीहरू हरेक भने आफ्नै घर बनाउन लागिपरेका छौ ।
10 For this cause the heaven over you is kept from giving dew, and the earth from giving her fruit.
यसैकारण आकाशले आफ्नो शीत रोकिदिनेछ, र पृथ्वीले आफ्नो उब्जनी दिनेछैन ।
11 And by my order no rain came on the land or on the mountains or the grain or the wine or the oil or the produce of the earth or on men or cattle or on any work of man's hands.
मैले भूमि, पर्वतहरू, अन्‍न, नयाँ मद्य, तेल, पृथ्वीका उब्जनीहरू, मानिसहरू, पशुहरू, र तिमीहरूका हातका परिश्रममाथि अनिकाल बोलाएको छु ।”
12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.
अनि शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, र येहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पूजाहारी यहोशूले, बाँकी रहेका सबै मानिसका साथमा तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर परमप्रभुको आवाज र अगमवक्ता हाग्‍गैका वचनलाई पालन गरे, किनभने तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर परमप्रभुले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको थियो र मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको भय मान्थे ।
13 Then Haggai, whom the Lord had sent to give his words to the people, said, I am with you, says the Lord.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका समाचारवाहक, हाग्‍गैले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनी परमप्रभुको सन्देश सुनाए, “म तिमीहरूसँग छु - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
14 And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले यहूदाका राज्यपाल, शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, येहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पुजारी यहोशू, र सबै बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका आत्मालाई उत्तेजित गरिदिनुभयो, अनि तिनीहरू गए र तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको भवनमा काम गरे ।
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
दारा राजाको दोस्रो वर्षको छैटौँ महिनाको चौबीसौँ दिनमा यो भयो ।
