Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
Nan venteyen jou nan setyèm mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
“Pale koulye a a Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, gouvènè a Juda a, a Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la e a retay a pèp la e di:
3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
‘Se kilès ki rete pami nou ki te wè tanp sa a lontan nan tout glwa li? Se kijan nou wè li koulye a? Èske li pa vin pa sanble anyen nan zye nou?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
Men koulye a, se pou ou vin dyanm, Zorobabel,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘Se pou ou vin dyanm, ou menm tou, Josué, fis a Jotsadak la, wo prèt la, e tout pèp peyi a, se pou nou vin dyanm,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘epi travay, paske Mwen avèk nou,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
Selon pwomès ke M te fè nou an, depi lè nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Lespri M t ap viv pami nou. ‘Pa pè anyen!’
6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Yon fwa ankò nan yon ti tan, Mwen va souke syèl yo, tè a, lanmè a ak tè sèch la.
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mwen va souke tout nasyon yo. Konsa, gwo richès de tout nasyon yo va vini, e Mwen va plen kay sa a ak glwa,’ pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
‘Ajan se pa M, e lò se pa M’, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
‘Denyè glwa kay sa a, va pi gran ke ansyen an,’ pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Epi nan plas sa a, Mwen va bay Lapè’, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”
10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Nan venn-kat nan nevyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane Darius la, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Kounye a mande prèt yo konsènan Lalwa a. Mande yo:
12 If one shall bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt shall touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Si yon nonm pote vyann sakre vlope nan ke wòb li, e avèk ke wòb li, li touche pen, manje kwit, diven, lwil, oswa nenpòt lòt manje, èske sa ki touche pa li menm va vin sakre?’” Prèt yo te reponn: “Non”.
13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body shall touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Anplis, Aggée te mande: “Si yon moun ki pa pwòp akoz yon kadav, ta touche nenpòt bagay nan sa yo, èske moun sa va pa pwòp?” Prèt yo te reponn: “Yo va vin pa pwòp.”
14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
Epi Aggée te di: “‘Se konsa pèp sa a ye. Epi se konsa nasyon sa a ye devan Mwen,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘Anplis, se konsa tout zèv men yo, ak sa ke yo ofri la yo, vin pa pwòp.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
Alò, koulye a, m ap priye nou byen konsidere sa soti nan jou sa a pou gade dèyè nèt: avan yon sèl wòch te plase sou yon wòch sou tanp SENYÈ a.
16 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the winepress to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
Pandan tout tan sa a, lè yon moun te rive sou yon pil sereyal ak ven mezi, te gen sèlman dis. Lè yon moun te rive sou gwo ja diven, pou rale retire senkant mezi, te gen sèlman ven.
17 I smote you with blighting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
Tout zèv ki te fèt ak men nou yo, Mwen te frape ak destriksyon, lakanni, ak lagrèl. Malgre sa, nou pa t retounen vin jwenn Mwen,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid, consider it.
‘Byen konsidere sa, m ap priye nou. Soti nan jou sa a gade dèyè nèt, soti nan venn-katriyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a; depi jou lè tanp SENYÈ a te fonde a, konsidere sa:
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
Èske semans lan gen tan rive nan depo a? Menm pye rezen an, pye fig etranje a, pye grenad ak bwa doliv la, pa reyisi pote anyen. Malgre sa, soti nan jou sila a, Mwen va beni nou.’”
20 And again the word of the LORD came to Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini yon dezyèm fwa a Aggée nan venn-katriyèm jou nan mwa a e te di:
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
“Pale ak Zorobabel, gouvènè a Juda a e di: ‘Mwen va souke syèl yo ak tè a.
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Mwen va boulvèse twòn a wayòm yo, e detwi pouvwa wayòm a nasyon yo. Epi Mwen va boulvèse cha lagè yo ansanm ak sila k ap kondwi cha yo. Cheval yo ak chevalye yo va tonbe, yo tout pa nepe a frè yo.’
23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
‘Nan jou sa a,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Mwen va pran ou, Zorobabel, fis a Schealthiel la, sèvitè Mwen an,’ deklare SENYÈ a. ‘Epi konsa, Mwen va fè ou vin tankou yon bag so, paske Mwen te chwazi ou,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”
