Haggai 1
1 In yac se akluo ma Darius el tokosra fulat lun Persia, ke len se oemeet in malem se akonkosr, LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu sin mwet uh sel mwet palu Haggai. Kas inge ma nu sel Zerubbabel, governor lun Judah su wen natul Shealtiel, ac nu sel Joshua, Mwet Tol Fulat su wen natul Jehozadak.
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sel Haggai, “Mwet inge fahk mu tia pacl fal se pa inge in sifilpa musai Tempul.”
Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built.
3 Na LEUM GOD El fahk kas inge nu sin mwet uh sel mwet palu Haggai:
Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 “Mwet luk, efu ku kowos muta in lohm ma musaiyukla arulana wo, a Tempul luk musallana oan?
Is it time for you, O you, to dwell in your paneled houses, and this house lie waste?
5 Ku kowos tiana akilen ma sikyak nu suwos uh?
Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 Kowos yukwiya fita na pukanten, a ma kowos kosrani uh arulana pu. Oasr mwe mongo nowos, a kowos tia ku in kihpi kac. Oasr wain kowos in nim, a kowos tia muti kac! Oasr nuknuk lowos, tuh tia ku in akfusrfusrye kowos. Ac mwet orekma uh, molol tia fal in sang enenu lal.
You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Kowos tiana akilen lah efu ku sikyak ouinge?
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 Kowos utyak inge nu fineol uh, pakema kutu sak, ac sifil musaela Tempul, na nga fah insewowo, ac kowos fah alu nu sik we.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the LORD.
9 “Kowos finsrak nu ke kosrani yohk, a ma kowos kosrani uh arulana srik. Ac ke kowos use ma kowos kosrani nu lohm suwos, nga okla wanginla. Efu ku nga oru ouinge? Mweyen Tempul luk oanna musalla, a kais sie suwos kafofona in orekma ke lohm sel sifacna.
You looked for much, and, see it came to little; and when you brought it home, I did blow on it. Why? says the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that is waste, and you run every man to his own house.
10 Pa inge sripen wangin af, ac wangin ma ku in kapak uh.
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 Nga use tuka nu fin acn uh — aok nu fin inging uh, ac inima in wheat, inima in grape, inima in sak olive, ac nu fin fohk nukewa su oswe fokin ima uh, oayapa nu fin mwet ac ma orakrak, ac nu fin ma nukewa kowos srike in yukwiya.”
And I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the corn, and on the new wine, and on the oil, and on that which the ground brings forth, and on men, and on cattle, and on all the labor of the hands.
12 Na Zerubbabel ac Joshua ac mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh in Babylonia elos oru ma LEUM GOD lalos El fahk nu selos in oru. Elos tuh sangeng sin LEUM GOD, oru elos akos na ma Haggai, mwet palu su mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el fahk.
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
13 Na Haggai el sang kas lun LEUM GOD inge nu sin mwet uh: “Nga ac fah wi kowos — pa inge wulela luk.”
Then spoke Haggai the LORD’s messenger in the LORD’s message to the people, saying, I am with you, says the LORD.
14 LEUM GOD El pirik mwet nukewa in orekma ke Tempul: Governor Zerubbabel lun Judah; Mwet Tol Fulat Joshua, ac mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh. Elos mutawauk in orekma ke Tempul lun LEUM GOD Kulana, su God lalos,
And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
15 ke len aklongoul akosr ke malem se akonkosr ke yac se akluo in pacl Darius el tokosra fulat.
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
