< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest, saying,
Darius siangpahrang ni a uknae a kum pahni, ataruknae thapa apasuek hnin vah, profet Haggai hno lahoi Judah kaukkung Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi vaihma kacue Jehozadak e capa Joshua koe ka tho e BAWIPA lawk teh,
2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: This people saith, The time is not yet come, the time that the house of Jehovah should be built.
Ransahu BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e teh, hete taminaw ni BAWIPA e im sak hanelah atueng phat hoeh rah ati awh.
3 But the word of Jehovah hath come by Haggai the prophet, saying: —
Profet Haggai koehoi BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
4 Is it, then, a time for yourselves To dwell in ceiled houses, While this house lieth waste?
Oe! nangmae taminaw, namamouh na o nahane im teh lemphu coung hni touh e na tawn awh nahlangva vah, Kaie im teh ka rawkphai lahoi maw ao han.
5 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider how it goeth with you!
Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, na tawksak awh e hno, kahawicalah pouk awh haw.
6 Ye sow much, and bring in little; Ye eat, but are not full; Ye drink, but are not satisfied; Ye clothe yourselves, but are not warmed; And he that earneth wages earneth them for a purse with holes.
Nangmouh ni cati moi na kahei awh eiteh, a paw yitca dueng na pâkhueng awh. Na ca a eiteh na von paha awh hoeh. Na nei a eiteh na boum a hoeh. Khohna na kho a eiteh na bet a hoeh. Thaw tawknae phu na hmu a eiteh ka vuk e yawngya dawk na pâtung awh.
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider how it goeth with you!
Ransahu BAWIPA BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, na sak e thaw kahawicalah pouk awh haw.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house, That I may have pleasure therein, And be glorified, saith Jehovah.
Mon luen nateh thing hrawm awh haw. Kaie im sak awh haw. Kai hai ka lung akuep vaiteh ka bawilennae ka kamnue sak han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
9 Ye look for much, and lo, it cometh to little; And when ye bring it home, I blow it away; And why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house which lieth waste, While ye run every one to his own house.
Nangmouh ni moi ka tawn han telah na ngaihawi a eiteh hno yitca dueng na hmu awh, im na thokhai awh navah Kai ni phei ka hmu. Bangkongmaw telah ransahu BAWIPA ni na pacei awh. Kaie im teh karawk lah paroup ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, namamouh im lengkaleng na yawng a dawk doeh.
10 Therefore the heaven over you withholdeth the dew, And the earth refuseth her fruit.
Hatdawkvah nangmouh koe kho a kha vaiteh, tadamtui bawt mahoeh. Talai ni hai a paw paw sak mahoeh.
11 And I have called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains; And upon the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; Upon that which the ground bringeth forth, And upon men, and upon cattle, And upon all the labor of the hands.
Talai van hai thoseh, monsom hai thoseh, cakui cakang, misur, satui dawk hai thoseh, talai dawk hoi ka tâcawt e pueng koehai thoseh, tami, moithang, saringnaw pueng koehai thoseh, tawksak e pueng dawk hai thoseh takang ka tho sak han a ti.
12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest, and all the remnant of people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people feared before Jehovah.
Hat toteh, Shealtiel e capa Zerubbabel hoi vaihma kacue Jehozadak e capa Joshua koehoi kamtawng teh kacawie naw pueng ni, amamae BAWIPA lawk hai thoseh, BAWIPA ni a patoun e profet Haggai e lawk hai thoseh, a ngâi awh teh, BAWIPA a taki awh.
13 Then spake Haggai, the messenger of Jehovah, by a message from Jehovah to the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni patoune Haggai ni, kai teh nangmouh koe ka o telah BAWIPA ni a dei pouh e hah taminaw koe patuen a dei pouh.
14 And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of people, so that they came and executed work upon the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
BAWIPA niyah, Judah kaukkung Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel hoi vaihma kacue Jehozadak e capa Joshua koehoi kamtawng teh, kacawie naw pueng hah a hroecoe teh, ransabawi Jehovah hane im sak hanelah,
15 on the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
Darius siangpahrang a bawinae kum pahni, ataruknae thapa, hnin 24 hnin vah a tho awh teh, amamae Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA e im dawk thaw a tawk awh.
