< 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:
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of 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, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto the remnant of the people, saying: —
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 there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
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.
Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh 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!''
The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
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, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking the heavens and the earth, and 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.
And I will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
8 'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitok!'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh 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.”
Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh 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 of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
11 “Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Damagem kadagiti padi ti maipapan iti linteg, ket kunaem:
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:
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 carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, 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 defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
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 answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever 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, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
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.
So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be 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 smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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!
Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
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 the seed yet in the store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very 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,
Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
21 “Agsaoka kenni Zerubbabel a gobernador ti Juda ket ibagam, 'Gunggonekto dagiti langit ken ti daga.
Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, 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 overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man 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, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
