Aje 2
1 Nan venteyen jou nan setyèm mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 “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:
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
3 ‘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?
Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not in your eyes as nothing?
4 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.
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says Jehovah, and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, says Jehovah, and work. For I am with you, says Jehovah of hosts,
5 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!’
according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you. Fear ye not.
6 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.
For thus says Jehovah 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.
7 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.
And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Jehovah of hosts.
8 ‘Ajan se pa M, e lò se pa M’, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says Jehovah of hosts.
9 ‘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.”
The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says Jehovah of hosts, and in this place I will give peace, says Jehovah of hosts.
10 Nan venn-kat nan nevyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane Darius la, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Kounye a mande prèt yo konsènan Lalwa a. Mande yo:
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 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”.
If a man bears holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt touches bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 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.”
Then Haggai said, If a man who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 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.
Then Haggai answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says Jehovah, and so is every work of their hands. And that which they offer there is unclean.
15 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.
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah.
16 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.
Through all that time, when a man came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When he came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty.
17 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.
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands, yet ye turned not to me, says Jehovah.
18 ‘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:
Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Jehovah's temple was laid, consider it.
19 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.’”
Is the seed yet in the barn? Yea, the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not brought forth. From this day I will bless you.
20 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini yon dezyèm fwa a Aggée nan venn-katriyèm jou nan mwa a e te di:
And the word of Jehovah came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 “Pale ak Zorobabel, gouvènè a Juda a e di: ‘Mwen va souke syèl yo ak tè a.
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth.
22 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.’
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. And I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. And the horses and their riders shall come down, each one by the sword of his brother.
23 ‘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.”
In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, I will take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet. For I have chosen thee, says Jehovah of hosts.
