< Haggai 1 >
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, saying:
Darius lengvaipoh kal kum ni lhinna, Lhajing nisim som ni le ko nin, Judah gamvaipo Shealtiel chapa Zerubabel le thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua henga Pakai in Haggai a konin thu ahinseiye.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
“Van Pakai chun hitin aseiye: Hiche miten, ‘Pakai hou in sahphatna ding avatna laiye atiuve.’”
3 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
Hijeh chun Pakai in Haggai themgao kamin ahin seiye:
4 Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?
“I-atileh ka in asesa kijam’a nang ho in nomtah taha chen nahiuvem?
5 And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.
Hiche hi Van Pakai sei ahi: Ipiti nahiu ham phaten kiveuvin!
6 You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.
Muchi tamtah natudoh naovin, ahinlah lhomcha bou nakiat doh uve. An nane naovin, ahinlah navaset thei pouve. Twi nadon naovin, ahinlah na dangchah-u achimdeh poi. Von na kivon naovin, ahinlah lum nasah jou pouve. Na tohman jouseu jong akoina sumdip avangsa bangin amang pai ji'e!
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set Your hearts upon your ways:
Van Pakai chun hitin aseiye: Ipiti nahiu ham phaten kiveuvin!
8 Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith the Lord.
Tun thinglhang langa kal’uvin, thing gasuivin lang, ka in sa phauvin. Chutileh keima kalung lhaiding chule kaloupi thei ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseiye.
9 You have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts? because my house is desolate, and you make haste every man to his own house.
Tohga tampi nakineppi uve, ahinlah na vaicha cheh jouve. Chule na tohga’u in nahin pohlut tengu, ka sem mangpeh jitaove. Ipijha ham? Ajeh chu ka in ase san akijamin, ahinlah nang ho amitaki’in ama in nomtah tah kisahnan naki salel uve, tin Van Pakai sepai chun aseiye.
10 Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
Nang ho jeh'a van mun jousen gotwi daitwi atuhkih’a, chule leiset in jong ga asemdoh lou ahi.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon beasts, and upon all the labour of the hands.
Na louma dung jouse le na thinglhang jouseuva nichang kasat sahding – hiche nichang sat chun chang jouse agotsah ding, lengpi phung jouse jong, olive phung jouse jong, chule muchi chivo dang jouse jong agotlhah sah soh ding, hichun nang le na gancha jong kel natohsah diu, chule na tohga jouseu jong aboncha asuhset soh kei ding ahi.”
12 Then Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and all the remnant of the people hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the Lord.
Chuin Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel le thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua chuleh ahingdoh Pathen mite amoh chengin Pakai a Pathen’u thusei anit tauvin ahi. Pakai a Pathenun ahinsol Haggai themgao thusei ajah doh-u chun mipin Pakai aging cheh taove.
13 And Aggeus the messenger of the Lord, as one of the messengers of the Lord, spoke, saying to the people: I am with you, saith the Lord.
Hijeh chun Pakai thangkouva pang Haggai chun mipi jaha Pakai thupeh chu hitin: “Keiman ka umpi jing nauve, tin Pakai in aseiye,” atin ahi.
14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
Hijeh chun Pakai in Judah gamvaipo Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel lungthim ahin, thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua lunghtim ahin, chuleh Pathen mite ahingdoh amoh chengse lunghtim atildoh in ahi. Hiti chun van Pakai, a Pathenu hou in chu asapan taovin ahi.
15 In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
Darius lengvaipoh kal kumni lhinna, lhalam som ni le khat nia atohpat’u ahi.
