Haggeo 1
1 Iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario a kas ari, iti umuna nga aldaw ti maika-innem a bulan, immay ti sao ni Yahweh babaen iti ima ni Haggeo a profeta, ti sao ket para iti gobernador ti Juda a ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken para kenni Josue a kangatoan a padi a putot a lalaki ni Josadak ket kinunana:
[I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
2 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a mannakabalin-amin: 'Kinuna dagitoy a tattao, “saan pay a dimteng ti tiempo nga ipatakdertayo ti balay ni Yahweh.”
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
3 Isu nga immay ti sao ni Yahweh babaen iti ima ni Haggeo a profeta ket kinunana,
Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
4 “Tiempo kadin nga agnaedkayo kadagiti nalpasen a balayyo idinto a nadadael daytoy a balay?
“It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
5 Isu nga ita, kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh a mannakabalin-amin: 'Panunotenyo dagiti ar-aramidenyo!
[I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
6 Nagmulakayo iti adu a bukel ngem bassit ti apityo; mangankayo ngem saankayo a mabsog; uminomkayo iti arak ngem saankayo a mabartek. Agkaweskayo ngem saan a maimengan dagiti bagbagiyo, ken agur-urnong iti kuarta ti mangmangged tapno ipisokna laeng iti supot a napnoan ti abot”
You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
7 Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Panunotenyo dagiti ar-aramidenyo!
[So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
8 Sumang-atkayo iti bantay, mangalakayo iti kayo, ket bangonenyo ti balayko; maragsakanakto iti daytoy ket maidayawakto!'.
[Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
9 'Nagsapulkayo iti adu ngem kitaenyo! Bassit ti naiyawidyo, ta pinatayab ko daytoy! Apay?'—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin! 'Gapu ta nadadael ti balayko, idinto a maragragsakan ti amin a tao iti bukodna a balay.'
You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
10 Gapu iti daytoy, ipaidam dagiti langit ti linna-aw kadakayo, ket ipaidam ti daga ti bungana.
It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
11 Pinagtikagko dagiti daga ken dagiti bantay, dagiti bukel ken ti baro nga arak, ti lana ken ti apit ti daga, dagiti tattao ken narurungsot nga ayup, ken amin nga aramid dagiti imayo!'''
I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
12 Ket ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel ken ni Josue a kangatoan a padi a putot a lalaki ni Josadak, ken amin a nabatbati kadagiti tattao ket nagtulnogda iti timek ni Yahweh a Diosda, ken kadagiti sasao ni Haggeo a profeta, gapu ta ni Yahweh a Diosda ti nangibaon kenkuana. Ket nagbuteng dagiti tattao iti rupa ni Yahweh.
Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
13 Ket ni Haggeo, a mensahero, insaona ti mensahe ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao a kinunana, ''“Addaak kadakayo!'—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh!”
Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
14 Tinignay ngarud ni Yahweh ti espiritu ti gobernador ti Juda a ni Zerubbabel a putot a lalaki ni Salatiel, ken ti espiritu ti kangatoan a padi a ni Josue a putot a lalaki ni Josadak, ken ti espiritu dagiti amin a nabatbati kadagiti tattao, isu a napanda ket nagtrabahoda iti balay ni Yahweh a Diosda.
[So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
15 Iti maika-duapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maika-innem a bulan, iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario a kas ari.
[They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
