< Aggaeus 2 >

1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first [day] of the month, the Lord spoke by Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
Asari e thapa, hnin 21 touh navah profet Haggai koehoi ka tho e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
2 Speak now to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, saying,
Judah bawi kalen lah kaawm e Shealtiel e a capa Zerubbabel hoi vaihma kacue Jehozadak e capa Joshua hoi a kacawie naw koe patuen na dei pouh hane teh,
3 Who [is there] of you that saw this house in her former glory? and how do you now look upon it, as it were nothing before your eyes?
Hete im heh ayan e a lentoenae hoi akawi e hah ouk kahmawt e nangmouh thung dawk apine na kaawm awh. Atu bangne na hmu awh. Bangnue pawiteh nangmae hmalah banglahai kaawm hoeh e patetlah nahoehmaw ao vaw.
4 Yet now be strong, O Zorobabel, says the Lord; and strengthen yourself, O Jesus the high priest, the son of Josedec; and let all the people of the land strengthen themselves, says the Lord, and work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty;
Hateiteh Oe! Zerubbabel na tha kâlat haw, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Oe vaihma kacue Jehozadak capa Joshua na tha kâlat haw, Oe! khocaramca naw na tha kâlat awh telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
5 and my Spirit remains in the midst of you; be of good courage.
Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah, lawk ka kam e patetlah kai teh nangmouh koe ka o. Ka Muitha teh nangmouh koe ao. Puen awh hanh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
6 For thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
Ransahu BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e teh, a tue nâsittouh a ro hoehnahlan kalvan, talai, tuipui hoi monnaw hah kai ni bout kahuet han rah.
7 and I will shake all nations, and the choice [portions] of all the nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty.
Miphun puenghai kahuet han rah. Miphun pueng ni a ngai kawi e hno phat vaiteh, hete im dawk lentoenae hoi kakawi sak han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
8 Mine is the silver, and mine the gold, says the Lord Almighty.
Sui hoi Ngun teh kaie doeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
9 For the glory of this house shall be great, the latter more than the former, says the Lord Almighty: and in this place will I give peace, says the Lord Almighty, even peace of soul for a possession to every one that builds, to raise up this temple.
Atu e sak e im teh hmaloe e im hlak hoe a lentoe han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati. Hete hmuen koehai lungmawngnae ka poe han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
10 On the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
Darius siangpahrang uknae a kum pahni thapa yung takonae, hnin 24 navah BAWIPA e lawk profet Haggai koehoi a dei eiteh,
11 Thus says the Lord Almighty; Enquire now of the priest [concerning] the law, saying,
Nang ni vaihmanaw koe na pacei hane teh,
12 If a man should take holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and the skirt of his garment should touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Tami ni kathounge moi hah amae angki hoi a tangoung laihoi a sin vaiteh vaiyei, ankahe, misur, satui naw, cakawi buetbuet touh hoi hote a tangoung e hoi kânep pawiteh hote rawca teh kathoung han na maw telah a pacei navah vaihmanaw ni hote rawca teh thoung hoeh telah ati awh.
13 And Aggaeus said, If a defiled person who is unclean by reason of a dead body, touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
Haggai ni kathounghoehe ro kâbet pawiteh a khin maw telah a pacei navah, vaihmanaw ni, a khin telah a dei awh.
14 And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whoever shall approach them, shall be defiled [because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and you have hated him that reproved in the gates].
Haggai nihai, hete miphun, hete khocanaw ka hmalah hottelah doeh ao awh. A tawk e puenghai hottelah doeh ao. Kai koe a thueng awh e hno hai a khin telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
15 And now consider, I pray you, from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord, what manner of men you were.
Bawipa ni Bawkim dawk talung buet touh e van buet touh pacoung hoehnahlan, atuhoi kamtawng nateh ahmaloe e hno hah bout pouk awh haw.
16 When you cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were [only] ten measures of barley: and you went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were [but] twenty.
Hatnae tueng navah cakang hmuen 20 touh na hmunae dawkvah, hmuen hra touh duengdoeh na hmu awh. Misur tui hlaam 50 touh a pha han na ti awh e hah misur paw kasunae koe na pha awh navah 20 touh dueng na hmu awh.
17 I struck you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet you returned not to me, says the Lord.
Na tawksak e pueng teh kahlî ni a tânan vaiteh atui lah dui ka lawng sak toe. Hat nakunghai, kai koe lah na kamlang awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
18 Set your hearts now [to think] from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid;
Bawipa e Bawkim khom ungnae atako e thapa, hnin 24, sahnin totouh hoi pouk awh haw.
19 consider in your hearts, whether [this] shall be known on the corn-floor, and whether yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-trees that bear no fruit [are with you]: from this day will I bless [you].
Capai dawk cakang ao maw, awm hoeh, misurkung, thaibunglung kung, talekung, olivekungnaw ni paw awh hoeh rah. Hatei, atuhoi teh kai ni nangmanaw yawhawi na poe awh han telah a ti.
20 And the word of the Lord came the second time to Aggaeus the prophet, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
Hote thapa 24 hnin vah Haggai koe BAWIPA e lawk bout a tho teh,
21 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, saying, I shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
Judah kho kaukkung Zerubbabel koe bout na dei pouh hane lawk teh, Kalvan hoi talai kai ni ka kahuet han.
22 and I will overthrow the thrones of kings, and I will destroy the power of the kings of the nations; and I will overthrow chariots and riders; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword striving against his brother.
Uknaeram bawitungkhungnaw ka pakhuppathan vaiteh, uknae bahu pueng ka raphoe han. Rangleng hoi rangleng kâcuinaw puenghai ka pakhuppathan han. Marang dawk kâcuie ransanaw hai amamouh hoi amamouh naw tahloi hoi a kâbouk awh vaiteh a due awh han.
23 In that day, says the Lord Almighty, I will take you, O Zorobabel, the son of Salathiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will make you as a seal: for I have chosen you, says the Lord Almighty.
Kalvan e ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh Shealtiel capa, kaie san Zerubbabel, hatnavah nang teh kuthrawt patetlah na ta han telah Bawipa ni ati. Nang teh na rawi toe telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
