Hagai 2
1 Hanki ana kafufina 7ni ikamofona 21ni knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Hagai agipi huvazino mago'ene amanage hu'ne.
On October 17 [of that year], Yahweh gave [me], the prophet Haggai, [another] message.
2 Juda mopafima ugagota hu'nea Gavana ne' Sieltieli nemofo Zerubabeline, ugagota pristi ne' Jehozadaki nemofo Josuane, Anumzamofo vahe'ma ofri osi'ama mani'naza vahera amanage hunka zamasamio.
[The message was that I should] say this to Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and to the other people who were still alive [in Jerusalem]:
3 Amama mani'naza vahe kevufintira iza kora mani'neno, ama mono nomofo avasase zama'a ke'ne? Menima kazana tamagri tamavurera inankna nehie? Tamagrama kazana koma hu'nea zana avasase'a omaneno amne zankna nehifi?
“Do any of you remember how glorious our former temple was? [If you do, ] what does it look like to you now? It must seem like nothing at all.
4 Hianagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Zerubabeliga menina oti hankavetio. Ugota pristi ne' Jehozadaki nemofo Josuagane, osi'a naga'ma ofri'ma ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'mota oti hanavetineta eri'zana eri agafa hiho. Na'ankure Nagra tamagrane mani'nena tamaza hugahue huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a nehie.
But now the Commander of the armies of angels says to [all of you], to Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of you people who live in this nation, ‘[Do not be discouraged; ] be strong [DOU], and work [to build this new temple], because I will (be with/help) you.
5 Tamagehe'zama Isipi mopareti'ma neazage'na huvempama huzmante'noa kante, Nagri Avamu'mo'a tamagri'ene mani'negu tamagra korora osiho.
My Spirit remains among you, like I promised your [ancestors] when they left Egypt. [So] do not be afraid!’”
6 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie. Nagra osi'a knafi mago'ene monane, mopane, hagerine, eri kaza hugahue.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Soon I will shake the sky and the earth, the oceans and the land again.
7 Maka ama mopafima me'nea kumatamina eri kaza hugahue. Ana hanuge'za maka kokankoka vahe'mo'za marerisa zago feno zamia eri'za ama mono nompi egahaze. Nagra ama mono nompina hihamu masa zanteti ante avitegahue huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
I will shake [again the people of] all the nations, and as a result they will bring their treasures [to this temple]. I will fill this temple with [my] glory.
8 Silva Nagri suza megeno, golia Nagri suza me'ne huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huama hu'ne.
The silver and the gold [that they own] are [really] mine, [so they will bring them to me].
9 Ama mono nomofoma kote'ma me'nea avasase zama'a, henkama esania avasase zamo'a rugateregahie. Ana hanige'na ama kumapina arimpa fruza eri'na egahue huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huama hu'ne.
[Then] this temple will be more glorious than the former/previous [temple was]. And I will cause things to go well for you all. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
10 Hagi kini ne' Dariusi'ma kinima manino egeno nampa 2ma hia kafumofona, 9ni ikampina 24zupa Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ene kasnampa ne' Hagaina amanage huno nanekea eme asami'ne,
On December 18 of that year, Yahweh gave [another] message to [me], the prophet Haggai.
11 Monafima mani'naza sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie. Kasegemo'a na'ane huno hu'nefi pristi vahera zamantahigeta keho.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels said to me: “Ask the priests [this question] about what is written in the laws [of Moses about sacrifices]:
12 Hagi ofama nehanaza afupinti mago vahe'mo'ma ruotagema hu'nea ame'ama erino zaza kukena'afi erinte kafagino erino nevanigeno, ana kukenamo bretirero, kre ne'zantero, waini tintero olivi masaventero, mago'a ne'zante'ma avako'ma hanigeno'a, ana zantamimo'a ruotage hugahifi anara osugahie? Anagema hige'za pristi naga'mo'za hu'za, i'o anara osugahie hu'za hu'naze.
‘If one [of you priests takes from the altar some] meat that was sacrificed and is carrying it in his robes, if his robe touches [some] bread or stew or wine or [olive] oil or some other food, does that food also become (holy/acceptable for a sacrifice)?’” [When he said that to] the priests, they replied, “No.”
13 Hagi anante Hagai'a amanage huno zamantahige'ne, Mago vahemo'ma fri'nesia vahe avufgare'ma avako huteno, ete ne'zama avako hanigeno'a, ana zantamimo'a agru hugahifi agrua osugahie? Anagema hige'za pristi naga'mo'za kenona hu'za, I'zo agru osugahie hu'za hu'naze.
Then Haggai asked them, “If someone becomes unacceptable to God by touching a corpse, and [then he] touches any of those foods, will the food [also] become unacceptable to God?” The priests replied, “Yes.”
14 Anante Hagai'a huno, Ama vahe'mo'zane, ama kokampima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena e'inahu hu'naze, maka'zama nehu'za, maka ofama nehaza zanena kumizmi'mo eri pehena hu'ne.
Then Haggai replied, “Yahweh says [this]: ‘It is the same with you people and with this nation. Everything that you do and [all the sacrifices] that you all offer are unacceptable to me [because of the sins that you have committed].
15 Hianagi Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagra Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri agafa huta tra'a onki'nazageno'ma tamagrite'ma fore'ma hu'nea zankura, refkohu so'e huta keteta anara hiho.
Think about what has been happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of my temple.
16 Ne'za kevuma ante'nazana tamagra ome erinaku'ma nevuta, 20'a kupi eririgahune huta tamagesa antahi'naze. Hianagi 10ni'a kupinke'za eriri'naze. Waini ragama regatati'ma nehuta 50'a kavofi afi avitegahune huta tamagesa antahi'naze. Hianagi 20'a kavofinke'za afi avite'naze.
When you expected [to harvest] 20 bushels [of grain, you harvested] only ten bushels. When someone went to a [big] wine vat to get 50 gallons [of wine], there were only 20 [gallons in the vat].
17 Nagra hozama eri havizama nehia kriramine, ranra komopa ko'ene atrogeno maraguzamatita hozafima eri fore'ma hu'naza ne'zantamina eri haviza hu'neanagi, tamagra Nagritera rukrahera huta nomaze, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
I sent (blight/hot winds) and mildew and hail to destroy all your crops. But still you did not return to me.
18 Meninteti'ma agafa huno vanigeta, 9ni ikamofo 24zupama Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo tra'ama eri agafama huta ki'naza knagura tamagesa antahintahi hiho.
Starting from this day, December 18, the day when [you] have laid the foundation of my [new] temple, continue to think carefully [about your situation].
19 Avimzama ohankreta atrazageno nompima menegeno, witima ohamarazageno, waini ragamo'ma nofitema reontegeno, fiki zafamo'ene pomigreneti zafamo'ene olivi zafamo'zanena raga reonte'nazare huvempa hu'na neramasamue. Hagi menima ama knareti'ma agafama huno vaniana, Nagra asomu huramantenugeta rama'aza antegahaze.
Is there now [RHQ] [any grain] seed left in your barns? [No, because you have eaten the small amount that you harvested]. And there is no fruit on your grapevines and fig trees and pomegranate [trees] and olive trees. But, from now on, I will bless you!’”
20 Ra Anumzamo'a ana ikamofona 24 zupa amanage huno mago'ene Hagai'na nanekea nasami'ne,
On that same day, Yahweh gave another message to me.
21 Juda mopare'ma ugotama hu'nea Gavana ne' Zerubabelina asaminka, Nagra Anumzamo'na kofa'a knafi monaramine mopanena eri kaza hugahue huno hie hunka asamio.
[He said, ] “Tell Zerubbabel the governor of Judah that I am going to shake the sky and the earth.
22 Nagra ama mopafi kini vahera kini tratetira zamazeri netre'na, megi'a kini vahe'mo'zama kegavama nehaza hankavezmia eri haviza nehu'na, karisiramine agumpima mani'za vanoma nehaza vahe'enena zamazeri atregahue. Hosi agumpima mani'za vanoma nehaza vahe'mo'za bainati kazinteti zamagra'a ohefri ahefri hugahaze.
I will end the power of the kings of [many] nations [DOU]. I will cause their chariots and their drivers, their horses and [the soldiers] who are riding on them to be destroyed. [What will happen is that I will cause the soldiers] to kill each other with their swords.
23 Hianagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huno, ama ana zama fore'ma nehanige'na Sieltieli nemofo Zerubabeliga, Nagri eri'za vahe mani'nanku kazerisga hu'na rankagi kamigahue. Na'ankure Nagra ko kagrira huhampri kante noankinka, kini vahe'mo'zama zamazampima ante'neza avame'zama renekamaraza rinigna hu'nane huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huama hu'ne.
Zerubbabel, you serve [me well]. So [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, declare that [like kings wear] signet rings [to show that they have authority to rule people], I will appoint you and cause you [to have authority to rule]. I will do that because I have chosen you. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
