Haggai 2
1 In the seventh [month], on the twenty-first of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Jou ki make venteyenyèm jou nan setyèm mwa nan menm lanne a, Seyè a bay pwofèt Aje yon lòt mesaj ankò.
2 “Now speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
Li di li konsa: -Pale ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, gouvènè peyi Jida a, ak Jozye, granprèt la, pitit gason Jozadak la, ansanm ak pèp ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a. W'a di yo:
3 Who among you has been left that saw this house in its former glory? And what are you seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?
Eske gen yonn nan nou ki chonje jan tanp lan te bèl nan tan lontan? Ki jan nou wè l' koulye a? Nou pa wè li pa vo anyen?
4 And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel,” A declaration of YHWH, “And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all you people of the land,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do, for I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Men koulye a, kouraj, Zowobabèl! Se Seyè a menm k'ap pale avè ou. Kouraj, Jozye, granprèt la, pitit Jozadak la! Kouraj, nou tout ki rete nan peyi a! Se Seyè a menm k'ap pale ak nou! Mete men nan travay la, paske mwen la avèk nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
5 “The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, do not fear.”
Lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap toujou la avèk nou. Enben! M' la nan mitan nou. Nou pa bezwen pè.
6 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Yet once more—it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,
Paske men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Anvan lontan, mwen pral souke syèl la ak latè a, lanmè a ak tè yo.
7 And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] glory,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Mwen pral souke tout nasyon yo. Yo pral pote tout richès yo isit la, yo pral plen kay sa a ak bèl bagay. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
8 “The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Se pou mwen tout lò ak tout ajan sou latè ye. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
9 “Greater is the glory of this latter house, Than of the former,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I give peace in this place,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Kay sa a ap pi bèl lontan pase premye a. Se isit la menm m'ap bay tout moun kè poze. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Jou ki te make vennkatriyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa nan dezyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis la, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a bay pwofèt Aje yon lòt mesaj ankò. Li di l' konsa:
11 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of the Law, saying,
-Al mande prèt yo sa lalwa di sou sa.
12 Behold, [when] one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he has come with his skirt against the bread, or against the stew, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food—is it holy?” And the priests answer and say, “No.”
Si yon moun pran yon moso vyann yo mete apa pou Bondye, li vlope l' nan ke rad li. Lèfini, li kite rad la touche yon pen, osinon yon manje kwit, osinon yon veso ki gen diven osinon ki gen lwil, ou nenpòt ki kalite manje, èske sa ap mete manje a apa pou Bondye tou pou sa? Lè Aje mande prèt yo sa, yo reponn li: -Non!
13 And Haggai says, “If the unclean of body comes against any of these, is it unclean?” And the priests answer and say, “It is unclean.”
Lèfini, Aje mande yo: -Lè yon moun pa nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye paske li te manyen yon kadav, lèfini si li manyen yonn nan kalite manje sa yo, èske sa ap fè manje yo pa bon pou sa pou moun ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye? Prèt yo reponn li: -Wi!
14 And Haggai answers and says, “So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there—it is unclean.
Lè sa a, Aje di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a di. Se menm bagay la tou pou pèp nasyon sa a ansanm ak tou sa y'ap fè a. Sa yo ofri ban mwen an pa bon, paske yo pa nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye.
15 And now, please lay [it] to your heart, From this day and onward, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of YHWH.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Depi jòdi a, kalkile byen sou sa ki rive nou. Anvan nou te konmanse rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a,
16 From that time [one] has come to a heap of twenty, And it has been ten, He has come to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, And it has been twenty.
ki jan sa te ye pou nou? Nou te al fè rekòt nan yon jaden ble, nou te konprann nou t'ap jwenn vin barik, se dis ase nou jwenn. N' al chache diven nan yon barik depo, nou te konprann nou t'ap jwenn senkant galon, se vin galon ase nou jwenn.
17 I have struck you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail—All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
Mwen voye lawouy ak lagrèl gate tou sa nou te plante ak men nou. Mwen fè yo kanni. Men, nou yonn pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
18 “Now set [it] to your heart, from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of YHWH has been founded, set [it] to your heart.
Men jòdi a, vennkatryèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a, jou nou te fini ak fondasyon tanp lan, kalkile byen sou sa ki pral rive nou la a!
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? And until now the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne—from this day I bless.”
Ata grenn pou plante pa gen ankò nan depo nou yo. Ni pye rezen nou yo, ni pye fig frans nou yo, ni pye grenad nou yo, ni pye oliv nou yo pa donnen ankò. Men, depi jounen jòdi a, mwen pral beni nou.
20 And there is a word of YHWH a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,
Menm jou sa a, ki te vennkatriyèm jou nan mwa a, Seyè a bay Aje yon dezyèm mesaj. Li di l' konsa:
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
-Pale ak Zowobabèl, gouvènè peyi Jida a, di l' pou mwen: Mwen pral souke syèl la ak latè a.
22 And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And horses and their riders have come down, Each by the sword of his brother.
Mwen pral jete wa k'ap gouvènen yo, mwen pral detwi pouvwa nasyon yo. Mwen pral chavire cha lagè yo ansanm ak moun ki sou yo. Tout chwal yo pral mouri. Pou moun ki te sou chwal yo menm, yonn pral touye lòt ak nepe yo.
23 In that day,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,” A declaration of YHWH, “And have set you as a signet, For I have fixed on you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
Jou sa a, m'ap pran ou, ou menm Zowobabèl, sèvitè m' lan, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, m'ap ba ou pouvwa pou gouvènen nan non mwen, paske se ou menm mwen chwazi pou sa. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa
