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,
Nan venteyen jou nan setyèm mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
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,
“Pale koulye a a Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, gouvènè a Juda a, a Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la e a retay a pèp la e di:
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?
‘Se kilès ki rete pami nou ki te wè tanp sa a lontan nan tout glwa li? Se kijan nou wè li koulye a? Èske li pa vin pa sanble anyen nan zye nou?
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, se pou ou vin dyanm, Zorobabel,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘Se pou ou vin dyanm, ou menm tou, Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la, e tout pèp peyi a, se pou nou vin dyanm,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘epi travay, paske Mwen avèk nou,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
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.”
Selon pwomès ke M te fè nou an, depi lè nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Lespri M t ap viv pami nou. ‘Pa pè anyen!’
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 konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Yon fwa ankò nan yon ti tan, Mwen va souke syèl yo, tè a, lanmè a ak tè sèch la.
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 va souke tout nasyon yo. Konsa, gwo richès de tout nasyon yo va vini, e Mwen va plen kay sa a ak glwa,’ pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
8 “The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
‘Ajan se pa M, e lò se pa M’, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
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.
‘Denyè glwa kay sa a, va pi gran ke ansyen an,’ pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Epi nan plas sa a, Mwen va bay Lapè’, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”
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,
Nan venn-kat nan nevyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane Darius la, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
11 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of the Law, saying,
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Kounye a mande prèt yo konsènan Lalwa a. Mande yo:
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 nonm pote vyann sakre vlope nan ke wòb li, e avèk ke wòb li, li touche pen, manje kwit, diven, lwil, oswa nenpòt lòt manje, èske sa ki touche pa li menm va vin sakre?’” Prèt yo te reponn: “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.”
Anplis, Aggée te mande: “Si yon moun ki pa pwòp akoz yon kadav, ta touche nenpòt bagay nan sa yo, èske moun sa va pa pwòp?” Prèt yo te reponn: “Yo va vin pa pwòp.”
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.
Epi Aggée te di: “‘Se konsa pèp sa a ye. Epi se konsa nasyon sa a ye devan Mwen,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘Anplis, se konsa tout zèv men yo, ak sa ke yo ofri la yo, vin pa pwòp.
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.
Alò, koulye a, m ap priye nou byen konsidere sa soti nan jou sa a pou gade dèyè nèt: avan yon sèl wòch te plase sou yon wòch sou tanp SENYÈ 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.
Pandan tout tan sa a, lè yon moun te rive sou yon pil sereyal ak ven mezi, te gen sèlman dis. Lè yon moun te rive sou gwo ja diven, pou rale retire senkant mezi, te gen sèlman ven.
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.
Tout zèv ki te fèt ak men nou yo, Mwen te frape ak destriksyon, lakanni, ak lagrèl. Malgre sa, nou pa t retounen vin jwenn Mwen,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
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.
‘Byen konsidere sa, m ap priye nou. Soti nan jou sa a gade dèyè nèt, soti nan venn-katriyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a; depi jou lè tanp SENYÈ a te fonde a, konsidere sa:
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.”
Èske semans lan gen tan rive nan depo a? Menm pye rezen an, pye fig etranje a, pye grenad ak bwa doliv la, pa reyisi pote anyen. Malgre sa, soti nan jou sila a, Mwen va beni nou.’”
20 And there is a word of YHWH a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini yon dezyèm fwa a Aggée nan venn-katriyèm jou nan mwa a e te di:
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
“Pale ak Zorobabel, gouvènè a Juda a e di: ‘Mwen va souke syèl yo ak tè 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 va boulvèse twòn a wayòm yo, e detwi pouvwa wayòm a nasyon yo. Epi Mwen va boulvèse cha lagè yo ansanm ak sila k ap kondwi cha yo. Cheval yo ak chevalye yo va tonbe, yo tout pa nepe a frè 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!
‘Nan jou sa a,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Mwen va pran ou, Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, sèvitè Mwen an,’ deklare SENYÈ a. ‘Epi konsa, Mwen va fè ou vin tankou yon bag so, paske Mwen te chwazi ou,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”
