Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, saying:
Darius manghai kah a kum nit nah, a hla la hla rhuk, hnin at vaengah, BOEIPA ol te tonghma Haggai kut lamloh, Judah rhalboei Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel ham neh khosoih Jehozadak capa Joshua puei ham pai tih,
2 Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Pilnam he thui pah lah. 'BOEIPA im sak ham tue he, a tue pai hlan ' a ti uh he,” a ti.
3 Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
BOEIPA ol he tonghma Haggai kut lamloh cet bal tih,
4 Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
Nangmih te namamih bueng na im khop ah khosak ham tue a? Tedae im he kaksap coeng he.
5 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui coeng. Na longpuei te na thinko ah dueh laeh.
6 Ye have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, —and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with holes.
Muep na tuh dae a yol la pawk. A caak dae a cungnah la om pawh. A ok akhaw rhuihmil hae pawh. Bai cakhaw a bae hae moenih. Kutloh loh a kutloh akhaw hnocun put hae.
7 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na longpuei te na thinko ah dueh laeh.
8 Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
“Tlang la luei uh lamtah thing lo uh laeh. Im he sa uh laeh. A khui ah ngaingaih saeh lamtah ka thangpom khaw ka thangpom mai eh,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
9 When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, — Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to his own house.
A yet la a mael thil dae a yol la poeh coeng te. Im la na khuen uh vaengah te te phawn ka hmuh. Balae tih caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong a om? Ka im he a kaksap vaengah nangmih kah hlang mai tah, amah im neh cungpoeh uh.
10 Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back her fruit;
Te dongah nangmih ham tah vaan loh buemtui a hloh uh vetih, diklai loh a cangpai a hloh ni.
11 And I have called for drought, upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the corn and upon the new wine and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground, bringeth forth, —and upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the labour of the hands.
Diklai hman neh tlang soah khaw, cangpai so neh misur thai soah khaw, situi so neh diklai kah a thoeng boeih soah khaw, hlang so neh rhamsa soah khaw kut dongkah thaphu boeih soah khaw kholing ka khue thil ni,” a ti nah.
12 Then hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, —and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.
Te dongah Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel neh khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua long khaw, pilnam kah a meet boeih long khaw a Pathen BOEIPA ol neh tonghma Haggai ol te a ngai. Anih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh a tueih coeng dongah pilnam te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah rhih uh.
13 Then spake Haggai the messenger of Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah puencawn Haggai loh BOEIPA kah olthui te pilnam taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah, “Kai tah nangmih taengah BOEIPA kah olphong ni,” a ti nah.
14 Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, —and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts their God:
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Judah rhalboei Shealtiel capa Zerubbabel kah mueihla te khaw, khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua kah mueihla khaw, pilnam a meet boeih kah mueihla khaw a haeng pah. Te dongah kun uh tih a Pathen caempuei Yahweh im ah bitat te,
15 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, —in the second year of Darius the king.
manghai Darius kah kum bae nah, hla rhuk hnin kul hnin li vaengah a saii uh.
