< Haggai 2 >

1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Hla rhih, hnin kul hnin khat dongkah BOEIPA ol he tonghma Haggai kut lamloh pai tih,
2 "Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
Judah rhalboei Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel taengah khaw, khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua taengah khaw, pilnam kah a meet taengah khaw thui laeh.
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?
“Hlamat vaengkah a thangpomnah dongah im aka hmu te nangmih khuiah unim aka sueng? Aka hmu rhoek nang te te metlam a om coeng? Te bang te na mik dongkah a hong bangla a om moenih a?
4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says YHWH. 'Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' says YHWH, 'and work, for I am with you,' says YHWH of hosts.
Tedae Zerubbabel aw, BOEIPA kah olphong bangla thaahuel laeh. Khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua thaahuel laeh. Khohmuen pilnam boeih loh thaahuel laeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Nangmih taengah ka om coeng dongah saii uh laeh. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
5 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. 'Do not be afraid.'
Ol he Egypt lamloh na lo vaengah ni nangmih taengah kang khueh coeng. Ka mueihla he na khui ah a om dongah rhih boeh.
6 For this is what YHWH 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;
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vai khaw bet a om bal phoeiah tah vaan neh diklai khaw, tuitunli neh lanhak khaw ka hinghuen ni.
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 YHWH of hosts.
Namtom boeih te ka hinghuen vetih namtom boeih te sahnaih la ha pai uh ni. Te vaengah he im he thangpomnah ka bae sak ni tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,' says YHWH of hosts.
Cak he kamah kah tih sui khaw kamah kah ni. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
9 'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says YHWH of hosts; 'and in this place will I give peace,' says YHWH of hosts."
“He im thangpomnah tah lamhma lakah khaw lamhnuk ah a len om ni,” tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui. Te dongah he hmuen ah ngaimongnah ka paek ni. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Darius kah a kum bae, hla ko, hin kul hnin li vaengah BOEIPA ol te tonghma Haggai taengla pai tih,
11 "Thus says YHWH of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. “Khosoih te olkhueng dawt laeh,” a ti nah.
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 priests answered, "No."
Te dongah, “Hlang loh a himbai cun khuiah hmuencim maeh a phueih tih a hmoi neh buh khaw, andam khaw, misurtui khaw, situi khaw, caak te khat khat khaw, a ben te a ciim a?” a ti nah. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh a doo tih, “Cim mahpawh,” a ti uh.
13 Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The priests answered, "It will be unclean."
Te phoeiah Haggai loh, “Hinglu rhalawt loh he he boeih a ben atah, a poeih nama?” a ti nah. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek a doo uh tih, “A poeih loella,” a ti uh.
14 Then Haggai answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says YHWH; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
Te phoeiah Haggai loh a doo tih, “Pilnam he khaw, namtom he khaw, ka mikhmuh ah te tlam ni a om. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te dongah a kut dongkah bibi boeih neh a khuen uh long khaw amah la hnap a cuem moenih.
15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of YHWH.
Tahae khohnin lamlong tah na thinko ah dueh uh mai laeh. BOEIPA bawkim kah lungto soah lungto a tlingtlawn hang hlan ah.
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.
A om vaengah a hlom pakul lo cakhaw parha ni a lo. Sum sawmnga la a duh va-am te khaw pakul ni a lo.
17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me,' says YHWH.
Namamih khaw, nangmih kut dongkah bitat boeih khaw, mawn neh, dung neh, rhael neh kang ngawn coeng. Tedae kai taengla na mael uh moenih. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
18 'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of YHWH's temple was laid, consider it.
Tahae khohnin lamlong tah na thinko ah dueh uh laeh. BOEIPA bawkim a suen hnin lamloh a hlako hnin kul hnin li so hang te na thinko ah khueh uh laeh.
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.'"
Cangpup khuiah cangti khaw om dae nim? Misur neh thaibu khaw, tale neh olive thing khaw cuen pawh. Tahae khohnin lamlong tah yoethen kam paek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
20 The word of YHWH came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
Te kah hla hnin kul neh hnin li hnin ah tah BOEIPA ol he Haggai taengah a pabae la cet tih,
21 "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.
“Judah rhalboei Zerubbabel taengah thui pah lamtah, 'Vaan neh diklai he ka hinghuen coeng.
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.
Ram ngolkhoel te ka palet vetih namtom ram kah thaa te ka bawt sak ni. Leng neh a sokah aka ngol khaw ka palet ni. Te vaengah marhang neh a sokah aka ngol khaw, hlang khaw a manuca kah cunghang dongah kaeh uh ni.
23 In that day, says YHWH of hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says YHWH, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says YHWH of hosts."
He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin ah tah ka sal Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel nang te kan loh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nang te kan coelh coeng dongah nang te kutbuen la kan khueh ni. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
