Haggai 2
1 In the seuenth moneth, in the one and twentieth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na otu, nʼọnwa nke asaa, okwu Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ onye amụma Hegai bịakwa na-asị:
2 Speake nowe to Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
“Gwa Zerubabel nwa Shealtiel, onye na-achị Juda, na Joshua nwa Jehozadak, onyeisi nchụaja, na ndị Izrel ahụ fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ sị:
3 Who is left among you, that sawe this House in her first glory, and howe doe you see it nowe? is it not in your eyes, in comparison of it as nothing?
‘Onye nʼime unu nwere ike icheta otu ụlọnsọ ukwu nke mbụ si dị ebube? Ọ dị aṅaa nʼanya unu ugbu a? Ọ bụ na ọ dịghị unu ka ihe efu ugbu a.
4 Yet nowe be of good courage, O Zerubbabel, sayth the Lord, and be of good comfort, O Iehoshua, sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest: and be strong, all ye people of the land, sayth the Lord, and doe it: for I am with you, sayth the Lord of hostes,
Ma ugbu a nwee obi ike Zerubabel,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru. ‘Nwekwaa obi ike gị Joshua onyeisi nchụaja, nwa Jehozadak. Nwekwaanụ obi ike unu ndị niile bi nʼala a.’ Ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru. ‘Rụọnụ ọrụ nʼihi na anọnyeere m unu,’ ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-ekwu.
5 According to the worde that I couenanted with you, when ye came out of Egypt: so my Spirite shall remaine among you, feare ye not.
‘Nke a bụ ihe merenụ mgbe mụ na unu gbara ndụ nʼoge ahụ unu si nʼIjipt pụta. Mmụọ m na-anọgidekwa nʼetiti unu. Unu atụla egwu.’
6 For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Yet a litle while, and I will shake the heauens and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land:
“Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, ‘Ọ fọdụrụ otu ugbo, nwa oge nta gasịa, aga m ayọgharị eluigwe na ụwa, na osimiri na ala akọrọ.
7 And I will moue all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this House with glory, sayth the Lord of hostes.
Aga m ayọgharịkwa mba niile; ihe mba niile na-achọsi ike ga-abịa. Aga m eme ka ụlọ a jupụta nʼebube,’ ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
8 The siluer is mine, and the golde is mine, sayth the Lord of hostes.
‘Ọlaọcha niile na ọlaedo niile, bụ nke m.’ Ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara.
9 The glory of this last House shall be greater then the first, sayth the Lord of hostes: and in this place will I giue peace, sayth the Lord of hostes.
‘Ebube nke ụlọ a ga-adị ukwuu karịa ebube nke mbụ,’ ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru. ‘Ọ bụkwa nʼebe a ka m ga-enye ọganihu na udo,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.”
10 In the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, in the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto the Prophet Haggai, saying,
Nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na anọ, nʼọnwa itoolu, nke afọ abụọ, nke ọchịchị eze Daraiọs, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere onye amụma, bụ Hegai.
11 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Aske nowe the Priests concerning the Law, and say,
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, ‘Jụọ ndị nchụaja ihe iwu na-ekwu.
12 If one beare holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt doe touch the bread, or the potage, or the wine, or oyle, or any meate, shall it be holy? And the Priests answered and said, No.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ etinye anụ e doro nsọ nʼakpa uwe ya, ọ bụrụkwa na uwe ahụ anụ nsọ ahụ dị nʼime ya emetụ achịcha, maọbụ ofe, maọbụ nri ọzọ dị iche, mmetụ uwe ahụ metụrụ ha ọ ga-eme ka ha dịrị nsọ?’” Ndị nchụaja zara sị: “Mba!”
13 Then sayde Haggai, If a polluted person touch any of these, shall it be vncleane? And the Priests answered, and sayd, It shalbe vncleane.
Mgbe ahụ Hegai kwukwara, “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ emerụọ onwe ya site nʼimetụ onye nwụrụ anwụ aka, mesịa metụ otu nʼime ihe ndị a aka, ọ ga-abụ ihe rụrụ arụ?” Ndị nchụaja zara sị, “E, ọ ga-abụ ihe rụrụ arụ.”
14 Then answered Haggai, and sayd, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord: and so are all the workes of their hands, and that which they offer here, is vncleane.
Mgbe ahụ Hegai kwuru sị, “‘Otu a ka mba a na ndị bi nʼime ya dị nʼihu m. Ihe ọbụla aka ha rụpụtara na onyinye ọbụla ha nyere bụ ihe rụrụ arụ.’ Ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
15 And nowe, I pray you, consider in your mindes: from this day, and afore, euen afore a stone was layde vpon a stone in the Temple of the Lord:
“‘Ma ugbu a, chezienụ echiche banyere ihe ndị ga-emenụ site taa gaa nʼihu. Tuleenụ otu ihe si dị tupu adọnye otu nkume nʼelu ibe ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
16 Before these things were, when one came to an heape of twentie measures, there were but ten: when one came to the wine presse for to drawe out fiftie vessels out of the presse, there were but twentie.
Kedụ ọnọdụ unu? Mgbe mmadụ bịara nʼebe o debere ọtụtụ iri efere ọka abụọ, ihe ọ na-ahụ bụ naanị ọtụtụ efere ọka iri. Ọ bụrụkwa na ọ bịa nʼebe ịnara mmanya ka o were iri ite mmanya ise, ọ bụ naanị iri ite mmanya abụọ ka ọ ga-enweta.
17 I smote you with blasting, and with mildewe, and with haile, in all the labours of your hands: yet you turned not to me, saith the Lord.
Eji m ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi, na ọmụma ebu, na mkpụrụ mmiri igwe bibie ọrụ aka unu niile; ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m,’ ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
18 Consider, I pray you, in your mindes, from this day, and afore from the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, euen from the day that the foundation of the Lords Temple was laide: consider it in your mindes.
‘Ma site nʼụbọchị taa gaa nʼihu, site nʼụbọchị taa bụ iri ụbọchị anọ nke ọnwa itoolu, chenụ echiche banyere ụbọchị a bụ ụbọchị a tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Chezienụ echiche banyere ya.
19 Is the seede yet in the barne? as yet the vine, and the figtree, and the pomegranate, and the oliue tree hath not brought forth: from this day will I blesse you.
Ọ ka nwere mkpụrụ ọghịgha unu nwere nʼọba unu? Ọzọkwa, osisi vaịnị, osisi fiig, osisi pomegranet na osisi oliv amịghị mkpụrụ, ruo ugbu a. “‘Ma site nʼụbọchị taa gaa nʼihu aga m agọzi unu.’”
20 And againe the worde of the Lord came vnto Haggai in the foure and twentieth day of the moneth, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere Hegai nke ugboro abụọ, nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na anọ nke ọnwa ahụ, sị,
21 Speake to Zerubbabel the prince of Iudah, and say, I wil shake the heauens and the earth,
“Gwa Zerubabel, onye na-achị Juda sị ana m aga ịyọgharị eluigwe na ụwa.
22 And I will ouerthrowe the throne of kingdomes, and I wil destroy the strength of the kingdomes of the heathen, and I wil ouerthrowe the charets, and those that ride in them, and the horse and the riders shall come downe, euery one by the sword of his brother.
Aga m akwatu ocheeze alaeze dị iche iche, ana m agakwa imebi ike alaeze nke mba dị iche iche. Aga m akwatu ụgbọ ịnyịnya nʼala na ndị na-anya ha; ịnyịnya na ndị na-agba ha ga-adakwa. Onye ọbụla ga-adakwa site na mma agha nke onye otu ya.
23 In that day, saith the Lord of hostes, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel my seruant, the sonne of Shealtiel, sayth the Lord, and wil make thee as a signet: for I haue chosen thee, sayth the Lord of hostes.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ,’ ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-ekwu, ‘Aga m ewere gị bụ onyeozi m Zerubabel nwa Shealtiel,’ ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘mee gị ka ị dị ka mgbaaka akara m, nʼihi na ahọrọla m gị,’ Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-ekwu.”
