< Haggai 2 >
1 And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
Jou ki make venteyenyèm jou nan setyèm mwa nan menm lanne a, Seyè a bay pwofèt Aje yon lòt mesaj ankò.
2 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
Li di li konsa: -Pale ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, gouvènè peyi Jida a, ak Jozye, granprèt la, pitit gason Jozadak la, ansanm ak pèp ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a. W'a di yo:
3 Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
Eske gen yonn nan nou ki chonje jan tanp lan te bèl nan tan lontan? Ki jan nou wè l' koulye a? Nou pa wè li pa vo anyen?
4 Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
Men koulye a, kouraj, Zowobabèl! Se Seyè a menm k'ap pale avè ou. Kouraj, Jozye, granprèt la, pitit Jozadak la! Kouraj, nou tout ki rete nan peyi a! Se Seyè a menm k'ap pale ak nou! Mete men nan travay la, paske mwen la avèk nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
5 The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
Lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap toujou la avèk nou. Enben! M' la nan mitan nou. Nou pa bezwen pè.
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
Paske men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Anvan lontan, mwen pral souke syèl la ak latè a, lanmè a ak tè yo.
7 And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
Mwen pral souke tout nasyon yo. Yo pral pote tout richès yo isit la, yo pral plen kay sa a ak bèl bagay. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
Se pou mwen tout lò ak tout ajan sou latè ye. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
9 Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
Kay sa a ap pi bèl lontan pase premye a. Se isit la menm m'ap bay tout moun kè poze. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
Jou ki te make vennkatriyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa nan dezyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis la, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a bay pwofèt Aje yon lòt mesaj ankò. Li di l' konsa:
11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
-Al mande prèt yo sa lalwa di sou sa.
12 If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
Si yon moun pran yon moso vyann yo mete apa pou Bondye, li vlope l' nan ke rad li. Lèfini, li kite rad la touche yon pen, osinon yon manje kwit, osinon yon veso ki gen diven osinon ki gen lwil, ou nenpòt ki kalite manje, èske sa ap mete manje a apa pou Bondye tou pou sa? Lè Aje mande prèt yo sa, yo reponn li: -Non!
13 And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
Lèfini, Aje mande yo: -Lè yon moun pa nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye paske li te manyen yon kadav, lèfini si li manyen yonn nan kalite manje sa yo, èske sa ap fè manje yo pa bon pou sa pou moun ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye? Prèt yo reponn li: -Wi!
14 And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
Lè sa a, Aje di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a di. Se menm bagay la tou pou pèp nasyon sa a ansanm ak tou sa y'ap fè a. Sa yo ofri ban mwen an pa bon, paske yo pa nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye.
15 And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Depi jòdi a, kalkile byen sou sa ki rive nou. Anvan nou te konmanse rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a,
16 When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
ki jan sa te ye pou nou? Nou te al fè rekòt nan yon jaden ble, nou te konprann nou t'ap jwenn vin barik, se dis ase nou jwenn. N' al chache diven nan yon barik depo, nou te konprann nou t'ap jwenn senkant galon, se vin galon ase nou jwenn.
17 I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
Mwen voye lawouy ak lagrèl gate tou sa nou te plante ak men nou. Mwen fè yo kanni. Men, nou yonn pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
18 Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
Men jòdi a, vennkatryèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a, jou nou te fini ak fondasyon tanp lan, kalkile byen sou sa ki pral rive nou la a!
19 Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
Ata grenn pou plante pa gen ankò nan depo nou yo. Ni pye rezen nou yo, ni pye fig frans nou yo, ni pye grenad nou yo, ni pye oliv nou yo pa donnen ankò. Men, depi jounen jòdi a, mwen pral beni nou.
20 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
Menm jou sa a, ki te vennkatriyèm jou nan mwa a, Seyè a bay Aje yon dezyèm mesaj. Li di l' konsa:
21 Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
-Pale ak Zowobabèl, gouvènè peyi Jida a, di l' pou mwen: Mwen pral souke syèl la ak latè a.
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Mwen pral jete wa k'ap gouvènen yo, mwen pral detwi pouvwa nasyon yo. Mwen pral chavire cha lagè yo ansanm ak moun ki sou yo. Tout chwal yo pral mouri. Pou moun ki te sou chwal yo menm, yonn pral touye lòt ak nepe yo.
23 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
Jou sa a, m'ap pran ou, ou menm Zowobabèl, sèvitè m' lan, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, m'ap ba ou pouvwa pou gouvènen nan non mwen, paske se ou menm mwen chwazi pou sa. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa
