< 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, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet,
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,
telling him to speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the rest of the people:
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 that saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Doesn’t it seem as though there is nothing there?
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.
The Lord says: Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel, be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, be strong, all you people of the land. The Lord says: Begin the work, for I am with you. The Lord of hosts says:
5 Babaen kadagiti kari a nailanad iti tulag nga inaramidko kadakayo idi rimmuarkayo manipud idiay Egipto ken nakipagtakder ti Espirituk kadakayo, saankayo nga agbuteng!''
When your ancestors left Egypt I made a promise to you, and I am still with 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!
The Lord of hosts says: In a little while, I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the 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.
And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations will come here; and I will fill this temple with glory. The Lord of hosts says:
8 'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitok!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,
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 later glory of this temple will be greater than the former. The Lord of hosts says: In this place I will grant prosperity. This is the message of 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,
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
11 “Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Damagem kadagiti padi ti maipapan iti linteg, ket kunaem:
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 one carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and with that garment touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered: “No.”
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.''
Then said Haggai, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” And the priests answered: “It would be unclean.”
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.”
Haggai replied: “So is this people and so is this nation before me, the Lord declares, and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 Ita ngarud, lagipenyo manipud ita nga aldaw, sakbay a naiparabaw ti aniaman a bato iti sabali pay a bato iti templo ni Yahweh,
Think back from this day, before a stone was laid upon a stone 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.
How were you? When you came to a heap of grain expecting twenty measures, there were only ten; when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were only 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 all the work of your hands with blasting and blight, with mildew and with hail. Yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says 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!
‘Think back from this day, think! From the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day when the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and consider.
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!”
The seed is in the granary, but the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree have not yet brought forth fruit. From this day will I 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,
This message from the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
21 “Agsaoka kenni Zerubbabel a gobernador ti Juda ket ibagam, 'Gunggonekto dagiti langit ken ti daga.
Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I will 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.
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 will come down, each by the sword of his fellow.
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!”
In that day, the Lord of hosts says, I will take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, the Lord says, and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, the Lord of hosts says.
