Haggai 1
1 [I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
Nang ikalawang taon ni Dario na hari, nang ikaanim na buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Hagai na propeta kay Zorobabel na anak ni Sealtiel, na gobernador sa Juda, at kay Josue na anak ni Josadac na dakilang saserdote, na nagsasabi,
2 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
Ganito ang sinasalita ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na sinasabi, ang bayang ito'y nagsasabi, Hindi pa dumarating ang panahon, ang panahon ng pagtatayo ng bahay sa Panginoon.
3 Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Hagai na propeta, na nagsasabi,
4 “It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
Panahon baga sa inyo na tumahan sa inyong mga nakikisamihang bahay, samantalang ang bahay na ito ay namamalaging wasak?
5 [I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
Ngayon nga'y ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Gunitain ninyo ang inyong mga lakad.
6 You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
Kayo'y nangaghasik ng marami, at nagsisiani ng kaunti; kayo'y nagsisikain, nguni't hindi kayo nagkaroon ng kahustuhan; kayo'y nagsisiinom, nguni't hindi kayo nangapapatirang-uhaw; kayo'y nangananamit, nguni't walang mainit; at yaong kumikita ng mga pinagarawan ay kumikita ng mga pinagarawan upang ilagay sa supot na may mga butas.
7 [So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Gunitain ninyo ang inyong mga lakad.
8 [Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
Magsiahon kayo sa bundok, at mangagdala ng kahoy, at mangagtayo kayo ng bahay; at aking kalulugdan, at ako'y luluwalhati, sabi ng Panginoon.
9 You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
Kayo'y nangaghintay ng marami, at, narito, ang dumating ay kaunti; at nang inyong dalhin sa bahay, aking hinipan. Bakit? sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo. Dahil sa ang aking bahay ay nahahandusay na wasak, samantalang tumatakbo bawa't isa sa inyo sa kanikaniyang sariling bahay.
10 It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
Kaya't dahil sa inyo, pinipigil ng langit ang hamog, at ipinagkakait ng lupa ang kaniyang bunga.
11 I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
At ako'y nagpasapit ng pagkatuyo sa lupa, at sa mga bundok, at sa trigo, at sa alak, at sa langis, at sa sumisibol sa lupa, at sa mga tao, at sa baka, at sa lahat ng pinagpagalan ng mga kamay.
12 Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
Nang magkagayo'y si Zorobabel na anak ni Sealtiel, at si Josue na anak ni Josadac, na pangulong saserdote, sangpu ng buong nalabi sa bayan, nagsitalima sa tinig ng Panginoon nilang Dios, at sa mga salita ni Hagai na propeta, na siyang sinugo ng Panginoon nilang Dios; at ang bayan ay natakot sa harap ng Panginoon.
13 Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita si Hagai, na sugo ng Panginoon ayon sa pasugo ng Panginoon sa bayan, na nagsasabi, Ako'y sumasainyo, sabi ng Panginoon.
14 [So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
At kinilos ng Panginoon ang kalooban ni Zorobabel na anak ni Sealtiel, na gobernador sa Juda, at ang kalooban ni Josue na anak ni Josadac na pangulong saserdote, at ang kalooban ng buong nalabi sa bayan; at sila'y nagsiparoon, at nagsigawa sa bahay ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na kanilang Dios,
15 [They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
Nang ikadalawang pu't apat na araw ng buwan, nang buwang ikaanim, nang ikalawang taon ni Dario na hari.
