Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Chuin chuche kum leh chuche lha ma ma nisim somni le sagi nin Pakai in themgao Haggai koma thu ahin seikit tai.
2 Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto the remnant of the people, saying: —
“Judah gamvaipo Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel ahin, thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua ahin, chuleh Pathen mite ahingdoh amoh cheng henga hitin seiyin:
3 Who is there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
‘Koipen ham hiche in hejing nalaiya? – hiche houin – masanga aloupina leh ahoina he nalai? Hiche toh chun tedinga tua hi i-toh nabah sah uvem? Imacha hiloubeh toh abang jeng tai!
4 Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Ahin tun Pakai in aseiye: Zerubbabel hat’in. Thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua hat’in. Gamsunga umcheng mipi teho nang ho jong hat’uvin. Chuleh tun kipat-un, tong pan’un, ajeh chu keiman ka umpi naove tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye.
5 The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
Egypt nahin dalhah uva, kakitepna bang bangin, kalhagao nalah uva, aum jing nai. Hijeh chun kichah hih hel’un.”
6 For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land;
Ijeh-inem itihleh Pakai Van Sepai chun hitin aseiye: Chomkhat jouleh van le leiset kaholing kit ding, twikhanglen leh gam go lai jouse jong ka holing ding ahi.
7 And I will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Namtin vaipi kaholing ding ahi, chuleh athil khol jouseu hiche houin sunga hung kilhut soh ding, Loupi taha kadip soh hel ding ahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiyin ahi.
8 Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
Sana jong keiya ahin, dangka jong keiya ahi tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye.
9 Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Masanga aloupina sanga hiche houin hi hung loupi jo cheh ding ahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun seiyin ahi.
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
Darius lengvaipoh kal kumni lhin kum, Ollha nisim som le get nin Pakai in themgao Haggai henga thu ahin seiye:
11 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:
“Hiche hi Pakai van sepai chun asei ahi. Hiche dan thupeh chung changa thudoh ho chu thempu ho dongin:
12 If a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
‘nangho laha koipen hamkhat chun akithensosa satheng chu asangkhol chol a podoh henlang chule asongkhol chol chun changlhah ham ahilouleh anme ham, lengpi twi ham, olive thao twi ham ahilou jongleh nehthei khat pen pen chu tongkha taleh hichun thensah uvin tem? Thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Thensah ponte,” atiuve.
13 Then said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
Chuin Haggai in adong in, “Mihem khat mithi long atohkhat jeh'a dan dungjuiya aboh a um chun hiche neh le chah ho chu tongkha taleh, abohsah ding hitam?” Chuin thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Henge abohsah ahitai,” atiuve.
14 Then answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever they offer there, is, defiled.
Chuin Haggai in adonbut in, “Hiche mipi le nam mite jong chu tobang chu ahiuve, tin Pakai in aseiye. Athilbol jouseu ahin chuleh athil todohu jouseu abon'a achonset uvin asuhboh sohji ahi.
15 Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
Pakai houin sahna dinga abul naphudoh masangun nachung uva ipi pi anasoh ham vephaovin.
16 So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be twenty.
Na lou sohu thiltena som ni dinga nakinepiu chu som bou naki mubep un ahi. Lengpi twi tena somnga childoh dinga naginchat’u chu somni bou nate doh jouvin ahi.
17 I smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Keiman nalouma jouseu ka motlhah sah’in, nget kaneh sah’in chuleh gelchang kalhah sah’in natohgau muchi chivo jouse kasumang in ahi. Hiche jouse nungin jong, ka henga nahung kile nom hih laiyuve, tin Pakai in aseiye.”
18 Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
Phatechan tuni nikho, Ollha nisim som le get ni, hiche nikho, Pakai Houin ding abul kiphu nikho hi ngaitouvin. Lunggil tahin gel’uvin.
19 Is the seed yet in the store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I bless you.
Tu nikho, na changchi’u changsala aumpet’a kakitep ahi. Chang na at hih laiyui, lengpi twi le theichang phung le olive phung le kolbuthei phung hon ga asepdoh hihlai uve. Hijeng jongle tuni nikhoa pat’a phatthei kaboh ding nahi tauve.”
20 Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
Chuche nikho ma ma, Ollha nisim som le get nikhon Pakai in anivei chanan Haggai henga thu ahinsei kit in:
21 Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, the heavens and the earth;
Judah gamvaipo Zerubbel henga seipehin, Keiman vanho jouse le leiset kaholing ding koncha ahitai.
22 And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man by the sword of his brother.
Leng gam jouse leh alaltounau jouse akhup athal’a kale ding, Sagol kangtalai le achunga tou jouse jong akhup athal’a kale ding ahi. Sakol jouse lhalhop soh ding chuleh achunga tou jouse amaho le amaho kithat todiu ahi.
23 On that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
“Hichu ahung lhung teng, ka lhacha Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel, jabolna kapeh ding nahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye. Keiman mohor kisemna khutjem banga kasem ding nahi, ajeh chu kalhendohsa nahi tai, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye. Pakai Van Sepai, Keiman tahin kasei ahi!” ati.
