Aggaeus 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first [day] of the month, the Lord spoke by Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
Tarik piero ariyo gachiel e dwe mar abiriyo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kokalo kuom janabi Hagai kawacho niya:
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,
“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,
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?
‘En ngʼa modongʼ e dieru mane oneno hekaluni kapod nigi duongʼne machon? Koro sani to uneno kochal nade? Donge ochalonu mana ka gima nono?’
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;
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.
5 and my Spirit remains in the midst of you; be of good courage.
‘Ma e gima ne asingorae kodu kane uwuok e piny Misri. Kendo Roho mara nikodu kinde duto. Kik ubed maluor.’
6 For thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
“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;
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.
bende abiro yiengo ogendini duto, ma ginikel mwandugi duto, kendo abiro pongʼo hekaluni gi duongʼ.’ An Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema awacho kamano.
8 Mine is the silver, and mine the gold, says the Lord Almighty.
‘Fedha gi dhahabu gin maga,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
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.
‘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.”
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,
Kane ochopo tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen e higa mar ariyo mar loch Darius, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro gi dwond janabi Hagai kawacho niya:
11 Thus says the Lord Almighty; Enquire now of the priest [concerning] the law, saying,
“Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho ni, ‘Penj jodolo mondo odwoki gima chik wacho:
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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].
Eka Hagai nowacho niya, “‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni: Mano bende e kaka jo-Israel kod gik moko duto ma giwachona ei hekaluni ogak.’
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.
“‘Koro paruru anena gima biro timore chakre kawuono, kane pok uchako gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to ne ochalo nade?
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.
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.
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.
Chambu duto ne aketho gi dera kod pe, to kata bangʼ timo magi to pod ne udagi duogo ira,’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
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;
‘Paruru ahinya kochakore kawuono tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dwe mar ochiko, ma en odiechiengʼ mane oketie mise mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
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].
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.’”
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,
Wach mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro nyadiriyo ni janabi Hagai chiengʼ tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dweno:
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];
“Wachne Zerubabel ma jatend Juda ni, ‘Abiro yiengo polo gi piny.
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.
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.
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.
“‘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.”
