< 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 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, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to 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 Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Profet Haggai koehoi BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
4 Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
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 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, na tawksak awh e hno, kahawicalah pouk awh haw.
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.
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 Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
Ransahu BAWIPA BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, na sak e thaw kahawicalah pouk awh haw.
8 Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
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 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.
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 Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back 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 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.
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 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.
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 Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
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 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:
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 twenty-fourth day of the month, in 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.
