Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by 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 "Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, 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 is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn't it in your eyes as nothing?
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 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the LORD. 'Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol. Be strong, all you people of the land,' says the LORD, 'and work, for I am with you,' says the LORD 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 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Ruach lived among you. 'Do not be afraid.'
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 this is what the LORD of hosts says: 'Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake 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 will shake all nations, and they will come with the treasures of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD 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,' says the LORD 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 'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts; 'and in this place will I give peace,' says the LORD 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 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came by 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 says the LORD of hosts: Ask now the cohanim concerning the law, saying,
-Al mande prèt yo sa lalwa di sou sa.
12 'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The cohanim answered, "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 Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The cohanim answered, "It will be 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 Then Haggai answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says the LORD; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there 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 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of the LORD.
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 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only 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 struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me,' says the LORD.
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 'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
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? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven't brought forth. From this day will I bless you.'"
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 The word of the LORD came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day 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 will shake 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 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone 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, says the LORD of hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says the LORD, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says the LORD 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
