Haggai 1
1 In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord through means of Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, This people have said, The time is not yet come, the time for the Lord's house to be built.
“Van Pakai chun hitin aseiye: Hiche miten, ‘Pakai hou in sahphatna ding avatna laiye atiuve.’”
3 And the word of the Lord came by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Hijeh chun Pakai in Haggai themgao kamin ahin seiye:
4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth in ruins?
“I-atileh ka in asesa kijam’a nang ho in nomtah taha chen nahiuvem?
5 Now therefore, thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart unto your ways.
Hiche hi Van Pakai sei ahi: Ipiti nahiu ham phaten kiveuvin!
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but it doth not satisfy hunger; ye drink, but it doth not appease thirst; ye clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he that earneth something earneth it for 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart to your ways.
Van Pakai chun hitin aseiye: Ipiti nahiu ham phaten kiveuvin!
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house: that I may take pleasure in it, and 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 [Till now] ye looked for much, and lo, it came to be little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. For what cause? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lieth in ruins, while ye run every man unto 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 do the heavens for your sake withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth her products.
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 over the land, and over the mountains, and over the corn, and over the new wine, and over the oil, and over what the ground bringeth forth, and over men, and over cattle, and over all the labor 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 hearkened Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were afraid of 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 Then said Haggai the messenger of the Lord by the Lord's message unto the people saying, 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did work on 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 On the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius.
Darius lengvaipoh kal kumni lhinna, lhalam som ni le khat nia atohpat’u ahi.
