< Haggai 2 >

1 In the seventh [month], on the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
In len se aklongoul sie ke malem se akitkosr in yac sacna, LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sin mwet uh sel Haggai mwet palu.
2 Do say to Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
El fahkang nu sel Haggai in kaskas nu sel Governor Zerubbabel lun Judah, nu sel Joshua, su Mwet Tol Fulat, ac nu sin mwet uh ac fahk,
3 Who is there yet left among you that hath seen this house in its first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in comparison with it as nothing in your eyes?
“Ya oasr kutu mwet inmasrlowos su srakna esam lupan wolana lun Tempul se meet ah? Ac inge kowos liye tuh fuka? Sahp kowos liye mu ma na lusrongten se.
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord, and be strong O Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and do; [for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts, ]
Tusruktu inge, nimet lela kutena suwos in munasla nanka. Kowos orekma na, tuh nga wi kowos.
5 [In accordance with] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so [will] my spirit remain among you: fear nought.
Ke kowos tuh ilme liki facl Egypt, nga tuh wuleot mu nga ac wi kowos pacl nukewa. Nga srakna wi kowos, ouinge nimet kowos sangeng.
6 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet one thing more [will I do], it is but little, when I will cause to quake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
“Ac tia paht, nga ac osrokak kusrao ac faclu, finmes ac meoa.
7 And I will cause to quake all the nations, and the precious things of all the nations shall come [hither]: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
Nga ac fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa, ac ma saok lalos ac fah utukeni nu in acn se inge, ac Tempul ac fah sessesla ke mwe kasrup.
8 Mine is the silver, and mine is the gold, saith the Lord of hosts.
Silver ac gold nukewa fin faclu ma luk.
9 Greater shall be the glory of this latter house than that of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
Tempul sasu se inge ac fah arulana oasku liki Tempul se meet ah, ac in Tempul se inge pa nga fah sang kasrup ac misla nu sin mwet luk we.” LEUM GOD Kulana pa kaskas inge.
10 On the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
In len se aklongoul akosr ke malem se akeu in yac se akluo in pacl Darius el tokosra fulat, LEUM GOD Kulana El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Haggai, mwet palu.
11 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Do ask the priests concerning the law, saying,
El fahk, “Siyuk sin mwet tol elos in orala sie oakwuk nu ke mwe siyuk se inge:
12 Lo! if one should carry holy flesh in the corner of his garment, and touch with his corner bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Mwet se fin eis sie ipin ikwa mutal liki ma kisakinyuk ac nokmani nu in pulun nuknuk loeloes lal, na el fin lela nuknuk se lal uh in pusralla kutena bread, ku mongo molla, ku wain, ku oil in olive, ku kutena kain in mwe mongo, ya nuknuk sac ac akmutalyela pac mongo ingan?” Ke mwe siyuk se inge touyak ah, mwet tol uh topuk ac fahk mu, “Mo.”
13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body shall touch any of these, will it become unclean? And the priests answered and said, It will become unclean.
Na Haggai el siyuk, “Ac fin mwet se fohkfokla ke sripen el pusralla sie mano misa, ac el fin pusralla mongo inge, ya mongo ingan ac fohkfokla pac?” Mwet tol uh topuk, “Aok.”
14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so are all works of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
Na Haggai el fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu kain oakwuk se na ingan ac orekmakinyuk nu sin mwet ke mutunfacl se inge ac oayapa nu ke ma nukewa elos orala ke paolos. Ke ma inge, ma nukewa elos kisakin fin loang uh ac fohkfok.”
15 And now direct, I pray you, your heart from this day and upward, before the time that a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ku kowos tiana akilen ma sikyak nu suwos uh? Meet liki kowos tuh mutawauk in sifil musai Tempul,
16 Since those days were, when one came to a heap of sheaves of twenty [in number], and there were but ten; when one came to the winepress for to draw off fifty measures out of the vat, and there were but twenty.
kowos ac som nu ke yol in wheat uh ac finsrak mu kowos ac konauk bushel longoul kac, a kowos eis bushel na singoul. Kowos ac som in uti gallon lumngaul ke tacng in wain, a kowos konauk gallon longoul na.
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands: yet ye [turned] not [back] to me, saith the Lord.
Nga supwaot eng na fol ac af yohk kosra in kunausla ma nukewa kowos srike in akkapye, a kowos tia pacna auliyak.
18 Direct, I pray you, your heart from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, direct your heart [to this].
Misenge pa len se aklongoul akosr ke malem se akeu — len se inge pa pwelung lun Tempul uh tuh aksafyeyukla ah. Liye ma ac sikyak ingela.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yes, as yet the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, have not brought forth; [but] from this day will I bless you.
Finne wangin wheat lula, ac oa in grape, sak fig, sak pomegranate, ac sak olive soenna fokla, a nga ac akinsewowoye kowos inge fahla.”
20 And the word of the Lord came the second time unto Haggai on the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
In len sacna, len aklongoul akosr in malem sac, kas se akluo sin LEUM GOD tuku nu sel Haggai,
21 Speak to Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, saying, I will cause to quake the heavens and the earth;
su ma nu sel Zerubbabel, governor lun Judah, fahkang: “Nga akola in osrokak kusrao ac faclu,
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
ac kunausla tokosrai ac aksafyela ku lalos. Nga fah lungasla chariot ac mwet us chariot uh. Horse uh fah misa, ac mwet muta fac ac fah forani aacnwuki.
23 On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, the son of Shealthiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and I will place thee as a signet; for of thee have I made choice, saith the Lord of hosts.
In len sac nga fah eis kom, Zerubbabel mwet kulansap luk, ac nga fah srisrngikomi in kol ke Inek. Kom pa mwet se nga sulela.” LEUM GOD Kulana pa kaskas inge.
