< Haggai 2 >

1 On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai.
Iti maikadua-pulo ket maysa nga aldaw iti maikapito a bulan, immay ti sao ni Yahweh babaen iti ima ni Haggeo a profeta, ket kinunana:
2 Say to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remaining people,
“Makisaoka iti gobernador ti Juda, a ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel, ken iti kangatoan a padi, a ni Josue a putot a lalaki ni Josadak, ken dagiti nabatbati kadagiti tattao. Kunam,
3 Is there anyone left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it seem like nothing to you?
“Siasino kadakayo a nabatbabati ti nakakita iti sigud a kinadayag daytoy a balay? Ket ania ti panagkitayo iti daytoy ita? Saan kadi a kasla awanen serserbina daytoy kadagiti matayo?
4 So then be strong, Zerubbabel! Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, high priest! Be strong, all you people who remain in the land! Work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty.
Ita, bumilegka Zerubbabel!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—' bumilegka, Josue, kangatoan a padi, a putot a lalaki ni Josadak; ken bumilegkayo, dakayo amin a tattao iti daga!'—Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'ket agtrabahokayo, ta addaak kadakayo'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
5 Just as I promised you when you left Egypt, my Spirit continues to be among you. Don't be afraid!
Babaen kadagiti kari a nailanad iti tulag nga inaramidko kadakayo idi rimmuarkayo manipud idiay Egipto ken nakipagtakder ti Espirituk kadakayo, saankayo nga agbuteng!''
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Soon I will shake the heavens and the earth once more, and the sea and the dry land.
Ta daytoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Iti mabiit, gunggonekto manen dagiti langit ken ti daga, ti baybay ken ti namaga a daga!
7 I will shake all the nations, and the one desired by all of the nations will come and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty.
Ket gunggonekto ti tunggal nasion, ket iyegto kaniak ti tunggal nasion dagiti napapateg a banbanag kadakuada, ket punuekto iti dayag daytoy a balay! 'kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord Almighty.
'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitok!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
9 The glory of this second house will be greater than the first, says the Lord Almighty, and I will bring peace in this place. So declares the Lord Almighty.
Ad-addanto pay ti kinadayag daytoy a balay iti masakbayan ngem idi damu,' kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'ket Itedkonto ti kappia iti daytoy a lugar!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.”
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of the reign of king Darius, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai.
Iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maika-siam a bulan, iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario a kas ari, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Haggeo a profeta ket kinunana,
11 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: Ask the priests about the law.
“Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Damagem kadagiti padi ti maipapan iti linteg, ket kunaem:
12 If someone carries some meat from a holy sacrifice in a fold of their clothes and that fold touches some bread or stew or wine or olive oil or any other kind of food, does that food become holy?” And the priests answered, “No.”
No sab-oken ti maysa a tao ti karne a naidaton kenni Yahweh iti gayadan ti kagayna, ket no maisagid ti gayadanna iti tinapay wenno nilambong, arak wenno lana, wenno dadduma pay a taraon, agbalin kadi a nasantoan dayta a taraon?”' Simmungbat dagiti padi ket kinunada, “Saan”.
13 Then Haggai asked, “If someone becomes unclean by touching a dead body and then touches any of these foods, do they become unclean?” The priests answered, “Yes, it does become unclean.”
Ket kinuna ni Haggeo, “No ti maysa a tao ket narugit gapu iti panangsagidna iti natay ket sagidenna ti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag, agbalin kadi met a narugit dagitoy? Simmungbat dagiti papadi a kinunada. “Wen, agbalinda a narugit.''
14 Then Haggai responded, “This is how it is with these people, and with the nation before me, says the Lord. All that they do, every offering they bring, is unclean.”
Ket simmungbat ni Haggeo a kinunana, “Kastoy met ngarud kadagitoy a tattao ken iti daytoy a nasion iti sangoanak! —Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'Ket kasta met ngarud kadagiti amin a banbanag a naaramidan dagiti imada: ti idatonda kaniak ket narugit.”
15 Now think about what you're doing from this day on. Before a stone was laid on another stone in the house of the Lord,
Ita ngarud, lagipenyo manipud ita nga aldaw, sakbay a naiparabaw ti aniaman a bato iti sabali pay a bato iti templo ni Yahweh,
16 how was it for you? You expected a store of grain with twenty measures but only found ten. You thought you could empty out fifty measures from the winepress but there was only twenty.
tunggal iyaay ti siasinoman iti kamalig para iti duapulo a kasukat ti trigo, sangapulo laeng ti adda, ket tunggal iyaay ti maysa a tao iti ayan ti pagkargaan ti arak tapno agkaud iti limapulo a kasukat ti arak, duapulo laeng ti adda.
17 I struck with blight and mildew and hail everything you were working so hard for, but even so you refused to come back to me, says the Lord.
Pinarigatkayo ken dagiti amin a trabaho nga inaramid dagiti imayo babaen iti panaglaylay ken buot, ngem saan kayo latta a nagsubli kaniak'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
18 Think about what you're doing from this day on, today the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month when a foundation was laid for the house of the Lord. Think about it:
'Laglagipenyo manipud ita nga aldaw, iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maikasiyam a bulan, manipud iti aldaw a naipasdek ti pundasion ti templo ni Yahweh. laglagipenyo daytoy!
19 the seed is still in the barn. The vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate tree, and the olive tree have not yet given fruit. But from this day on I will bless you.
Adda kadi pay nabati a bukel iti kamalig? Saan a nagbunga ti ubas, ti kayo ti igos, ti granada, ken ti kayo nga olibo! Ngem manipud iti daytoy nga aldaw, bendisionankayo!”
20 The Lord sent another message through the prophet Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
Ket immay iti maikadua a gundaway ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Haggeo iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti dayta bulan a kinunana,
21 Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.
“Agsaoka kenni Zerubbabel a gobernador ti Juda ket ibagam, 'Gunggonekto dagiti langit ken ti daga.
22 I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the nations' kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots and their riders. The horses and riders will fall, and the men will kill each other by the sword.
Ta parmekekto ti trono dagiti pagarian ken dadaelek ti bileg dagiti pagarian kadagiti nasion! Parmekekto dagiti karuahe ken dagiti agluglugan; mapasagto dagiti kabalio ken dagiti nakasakay, mapasagto ti tunggal maysa gapu iti kampilan ti kabsatna.
23 On that day, says the Lord, I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, and make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you. So declares the Lord Almighty.
Iti dayta nga aldaw,'—Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, —'Awatenka, Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel, a kas adipenko,'- daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh. 'Isaadka a kas iti selio iti singsingko, ta sika ti pinilik!' —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakanalin-amin!”
