< Haggeo 2 >

1 Iti maikadua-pulo ket maysa nga aldaw iti maikapito a bulan, immay ti sao ni Yahweh babaen iti ima ni Haggeo a profeta, ket kinunana:
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:
2 “Makisaoka iti gobernador ti Juda, a ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel, ken iti kangatoan a padi, a ni Josue a putot a lalaki ni Josadak, ken dagiti nabatbati kadagiti tattao. Kunam,
“Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and also to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
3 “Siasino kadakayo a nabatbabati ti nakakita iti sigud a kinadayag daytoy a balay? Ket ania ti panagkitayo iti daytoy ita? Saan kadi a kasla awanen serserbina daytoy kadagiti matayo?
‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not appear to you like nothing in comparison?’
4 Ita, bumilegka Zerubbabel!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—' bumilegka, Josue, kangatoan a padi, a putot a lalaki ni Josadak; ken bumilegkayo, dakayo amin a tattao iti daga!'—Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'ket agtrabahokayo, ta addaak kadakayo'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work! For I am with you, declares the LORD of Hosts.
5 Babaen kadagiti kari a nailanad iti tulag nga inaramidko kadakayo idi rimmuarkayo manipud idiay Egipto ken nakipagtakder ti Espirituk kadakayo, saankayo nga agbuteng!''
This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt. And My Spirit remains among you; do not be afraid.”
6 Ta daytoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Iti mabiit, gunggonekto manen dagiti langit ken ti daga, ti baybay ken ti namaga a daga!
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 Ket gunggonekto ti tunggal nasion, ket iyegto kaniak ti tunggal nasion dagiti napapateg a banbanag kadakuada, ket punuekto iti dayag daytoy a balay! 'kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.
8 'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitok!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares the LORD of Hosts.
9 Ad-addanto pay ti kinadayag daytoy a balay iti masakbayan ngem idi damu,' kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'ket Itedkonto ti kappia iti daytoy a lugar!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.”
The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the LORD of Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
10 Iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maika-siam a bulan, iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario a kas ari, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Haggeo a profeta ket kinunana,
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Damagem kadagiti padi ti maipapan iti linteg, ket kunaem:
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Ask the priests for a ruling.
12 No sab-oken ti maysa a tao ti karne a naidaton kenni Yahweh iti gayadan ti kagayna, ket no maisagid ti gayadanna iti tinapay wenno nilambong, arak wenno lana, wenno dadduma pay a taraon, agbalin kadi a nasantoan dayta a taraon?”' Simmungbat dagiti padi ket kinunada, “Saan”.
If a man carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does that item become holy?’” “No,” replied the priests.
13 Ket kinuna ni Haggeo, “No ti maysa a tao ket narugit gapu iti panangsagidna iti natay ket sagidenna ti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag, agbalin kadi met a narugit dagitoy? Simmungbat dagiti papadi a kinunada. “Wen, agbalinda a narugit.''
So Haggai asked, “If one who is defiled by contact with a corpse touches any of these, does it become defiled?” “Yes, it becomes defiled,” the priests answered.
14 Ket simmungbat ni Haggeo a kinunana, “Kastoy met ngarud kadagitoy a tattao ken iti daytoy a nasion iti sangoanak! —Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'Ket kasta met ngarud kadagiti amin a banbanag a naaramidan dagiti imada: ti idatonda kaniak ket narugit.”
Then Haggai replied, “So it is with this people and this nation before Me, declares the LORD, and so it is with every work of their hands; whatever they offer there is defiled.
15 Ita ngarud, lagipenyo manipud ita nga aldaw, sakbay a naiparabaw ti aniaman a bato iti sabali pay a bato iti templo ni Yahweh,
Now consider carefully from this day forward: Before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD,
16 tunggal iyaay ti siasinoman iti kamalig para iti duapulo a kasukat ti trigo, sangapulo laeng ti adda, ket tunggal iyaay ti maysa a tao iti ayan ti pagkargaan ti arak tapno agkaud iti limapulo a kasukat ti arak, duapulo laeng ti adda.
from that time, when one came expecting a heap of twenty ephahs of grain, there were but ten. When one came to the winepress to draw out fifty baths, there were but twenty.
17 Pinarigatkayo ken dagiti amin a trabaho nga inaramid dagiti imayo babaen iti panaglaylay ken buot, ngem saan kayo latta a nagsubli kaniak'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
I struck you—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares the LORD.
18 'Laglagipenyo manipud ita nga aldaw, iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maikasiyam a bulan, manipud iti aldaw a naipasdek ti pundasion ti templo ni Yahweh. laglagipenyo daytoy!
Consider carefully from this day forward—from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid—consider carefully:
19 Adda kadi pay nabati a bukel iti kamalig? Saan a nagbunga ti ubas, ti kayo ti igos, ti granada, ken ti kayo nga olibo! Ngem manipud iti daytoy nga aldaw, bendisionankayo!”
Is there still seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet yielded fruit. But from this day on, I will bless you.”
20 Ket immay iti maikadua a gundaway ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Haggeo iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti dayta bulan a kinunana,
For the second time that day, the twenty-fourth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to Haggai, saying,
21 “Agsaoka kenni Zerubbabel a gobernador ti Juda ket ibagam, 'Gunggonekto dagiti langit ken ti daga.
“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am about to shake the heavens and the earth:
22 Ta parmekekto ti trono dagiti pagarian ken dadaelek ti bileg dagiti pagarian kadagiti nasion! Parmekekto dagiti karuahe ken dagiti agluglugan; mapasagto dagiti kabalio ken dagiti nakasakay, mapasagto ti tunggal maysa gapu iti kampilan ti kabsatna.
I will overturn royal thrones and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overturn chariots and their riders; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.
23 Iti dayta nga aldaw,'—Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, —'Awatenka, Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel, a kas adipenko,'- daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh. 'Isaadka a kas iti selio iti singsingko, ta sika ti pinilik!' —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakanalin-amin!”
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will take you, My servant, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, declares the LORD, and I will make you like My signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
