Haggai 2
1 In the seventh [month], in the twenty and first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na moko ya sanza ya sambo:
2 'Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, and unto the remnant of the people, saying:
« Loba na Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, moyangeli ya Yuda; na Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe na bato nyonso oyo batikali:
3 Who among you hath been left that saw this house in its former honour? And what are ye seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?
‹ Kati na bino oyo bozali na bomoi, nani amonaki Ndako oyo kati na nkembo na yango ya liboso? Bongo sik’oyo, bozali komona yango ndenge nini? Boni, ezali te komonana na miso na bino lokola eloko ya pamba?
4 And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye — (for I [am] with you, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts) —
Kasi sik’oyo, Zorobabeli, zala makasi, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, zala makasi. Bino nyonso bato ya ekolo, bozala makasi, › elobi Yawe, ‹ bosala mosala, pamba te nazali elongo na bino, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
5 The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, fear not.
‹ Kolanda mokano oyo nazwaki mpo na bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito, Molimo na Ngai azali kati na bino. Bobanga te. ›
6 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet once more — it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Na mwa tango moke, nakoningisa lisusu Likolo mpe mokili, ebale monene mpe mabele;
7 And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] honour, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
nakoningisa bato ya bikolo nyonso, bomengo ya bikolo nyonso ekoya na esika oyo, mpe nakotondisa Ndako oyo na nkembo, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
8 Mine [is] the silver, and Mine the gold, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
‹ Wolo mpe palata ezali ya Ngai, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
9 Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give peace, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.'
‹ Nkembo ya Ndako ya sika ekozala monene koleka nkembo ya Ndako ya kala, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ‹ mpe nakotia kimia na esika oyo, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. »
10 On the twenty and fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya libwa:
11 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Ask, I pray thee, the priests [of] the law, saying:
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Tuna Banganga-Nzambe makambo oyo osengeli kosala kolanda mobeko:
12 Lo, one doth carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he hath come with his skirt against the bread, or against the pottage, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food — is it holy?' And the priests answer and say, 'No.'
— Soki moto moko amemi na songe ya elamba mosuni oyo ebulisama, mpe songe yango etuti lipa to ndunda to vino to mafuta to bilei mosusu, boni, ekokoma bule? › » Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Te, ekokoma bule te!
13 And Haggai saith, 'If the unclean of body doth come against any of these, is it unclean?' And the priests answer and say, 'It is unclean.'
Mosakoli Aje alobaki: — Soki moto oyo akomaki mbindo mpo ete asimbaki ebembe asimbi eloko moko kati na biloko wana, boni, eloko yango ekokoma mbindo? Banganga-Nzambe bazongisaki: — Iyo, ekokoma mbindo.
14 And Haggai answereth and saith, 'So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there — it is unclean.
Mosakoli Aje alobaki lisusu: « Bato oyo mpe ekolo oyo bazali nde ndenge wana na miso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « misala nyonso oyo basalaka mpe biloko nyonso oyo babonzelaka Ngai ezalaka ya mbindo.
15 And now, lay [it], I pray you, to your heart, From this day, and onwards, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of Jehovah.
Mpe sik’oyo, kobanda lelo, botala malamu makambo oyo ekoya liboso ete libanga moko etiama na likolo ya libanga mosusu kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
16 From that time [one] hath come to a heap of twenty, And it hath been ten, He hath come unto the wine-fat to draw out fifty purahs, And it hath been twenty.
Tango moto moko azalaki koya mpo na kozwa bikolo tuku mibale ya ble na ebombelo, azalaki kokuta kaka bikolo zomi; tango moto moko azalaki kokende na ekamolelo masanga ya vino mpo na kozwa bambeki tuku mitano ya vino, azalaki kaka kokuta bambeki tuku mibale.
17 I have smitten you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail — All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Napesaki bino etumbu, tango nabebisaki misala na bino nyonso ya maboko, tango natindelaki yango bokono ya ndenge na ndenge mpe tango nanokisaki mvula ya mabanga. Kasi atako bongo, bozongaki epai na Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
18 Set [it], I pray you, to your heart, from this day and onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded, set [it] to your heart.
« Kobanda lelo, mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, botala malamu miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, oyo batiaki; botala malamu penza makambo oyo ekoleka.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? And hitherto the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne — from this day I bless.'
Boni, bibombelo na bino ezali lisusu na bambuma? Kino na moyi ya lelo, ata elanga moko te ya vino, ya figi, ya grenade mpe ya olive esili kobota bambuma. Kasi kobanda lelo, nakopambola bino. »
20 And there is a word of Jehovah a second time unto Haggai, on the twenty and fourth of the month, saying:
Yawe alobaki, na mbala ya mibale, na mosakoli Aje, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya libwa:
21 'Speak unto Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying: I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
« Loba na Zorobabeli, moyangeli ya Yuda, ete nakoningisa likolo mpe mabele,
22 And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And come down have horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother.
nakobalola bakiti ya bokonzi, nakosilisa nguya ya bokonzi ya mikili ya bapagano, nakokweyisa bashar mpe bato oyo batambolisaka yango; bampunda ekokweya elongo na bato oyo batambolaka likolo na yango, bango na bango bakobomana na mopanga.
23 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant — an affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « nakozwa yo Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, mosali na Ngai, mpe nakokomisa yo lokola kashe na Ngai, pamba te ezali yo nde Ngai napona, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
