Aje 2
1 Nan venteyen jou nan setyèm mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Aggée, pwofèt la. Li te di:
And in the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of 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 to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, the governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remainder 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, who saw this house in its first glory? And how do you see it now? Is it not, in comparison to that, as nothing in your eyes?
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.
And now be strengthened, Zerubbabel, says the Lord. And be strengthened, Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strengthened, all people of the land, says the Lord of hosts. For I am with you, says the Lord 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!’
And act according to the word that I planted with you when you departed from the land of Egypt. And my Spirit will be in your midst. Do not be afraid.
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 the Lord of hosts: There is yet one brief time, and I will move heaven and 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 move all nations. And the Desired of all nations will arrive. And I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts.
8 ‘Ajan se pa M, e lò se pa M’, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
Mine is the silver, and mine is the gold, says the Lord 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.”
Great shall be the glory of this house, the last more than the first, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place, I will bestow peace, says the Lord 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:
On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying:
11 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Kounye a mande prèt yo konsènan Lalwa a. Mande yo:
Thus says the Lord of hosts: the priests question 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 will have carried sanctified flesh in the pocket of his garment, and the top of it touches his bread, or appetizer, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be sanctified? But the priests responded by saying, “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.”
And Haggai said, “If the polluted in soul will have touched any of all these things, shall it be contaminated?” And the priests responded and said, “It shall be contaminated.”
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.
And Haggai answered and he said: Such is this people, and such is this nation before my face, says the Lord, and such is all the work of their hands. And so all that they have offered there has been contaminated.
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, consider in your hearts, from this day and beyond, before stone may be placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord:
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.
when you approached a pile of twenty measures, and they became ten, and you entered to the press, to press out fifty bottles, and they became 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.
how I struck you with a burning wind, and a mildew, and a hailstorm, all the works of your hand, yet there was no one among you who returned to me, says the Lord.
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:
Set your hearts from this day and into the future, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord have been uttered, and place it upon your heart.
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.’”
Has the seed been germinated yet? And has the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree still not flourished? From this day on, 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 the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth 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 the governor of Judah, saying: I will move both heaven and 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 overturn the throne of kingdoms, and I will crush the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles. And I will overturn the four-horse chariot, and its rider; and the horses and their riders shall be brought down, a man 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 the Lord of hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will set you like a seal, for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts.
