< Hagay 2 >

1 Tamin’ ny andro fahiraika amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahafito no nahatongavan’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah nentin’ i Hagay mpaminany nanao hoe:
In the seventh month on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 Lazao amin’ i Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, governora any Joda, sy amin’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe, ary amin’ ny sisa amin’ ny vahoaka hoe:
“Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and to the remnant of the people. Say,
3 Iza no mbola sisa aminareo, izay nahita ity trano ity tamin’ ny voninahiny taloha? Fa manao ahoana kosa ny fahitanareo azy izao? Moa tsy toy ny tsinontsinona eo imasonareo ity?
'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not like nothing in your eyes?
4 Nefa mahereza ankehitriny, ry Zerobabela, hoy Jehovah; ary mahereza, ry Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe; ary mahereza, ianareo vahoaka rehetra, hoy Jehovah, ka miasà; fa Izaho no momba anareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro,
Now, be strong, Zerubbabel!—this is Yahweh's declaration— and be strong, high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak; and be strong, all you people in the land!—this is Yahweh's declaration— and work, for I am with you!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
5 araka ny teny fanekena nataoko taminareo, fony nivoaka avy tany Egypta ianareo, ary ny Fanahiko dia mbola mitoetra ao aminareo ihany; koa aza matahotra ianareo.
This is the covenant that I established with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit remains with you. Do not fear!
6 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro: Indray maka koa, raha afaka kelikely, dia hampihorohoroiko ny lanitra sy ny tany ary ny ranomasina sy ny tany maina;
For Yahweh of hosts says this: In a little while I will once again shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land!
7 ary hampihorohoroiko koa ny firenena rehetra, ka ho avy izay irin’ ny firenena rehetra; ary hofenoiko voninahitra ity trano ity, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
I will shake every nation, and every nation will bring their precious things to me, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of hosts.
8 Ahy ny volafotsy, ary Ahy ny volamena, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
The silver and gold are mine!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
9 Ny voninahitr’ ity trano ity any am-parany dia ho lehibe noho ny tany aloha, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; ary eto amin’ ity fitoerana ity no hanomezako fiadanana, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
The glory of this house will be greater in the future than at the beginning, says Yahweh of hosts, and I will give peace in this place!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.”
10 Tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahasivy tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa no nahatongavan’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah nentin’ i Hagay mpaminany nanao hoe:
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Andeha maka hevitra amin’ ny mpisorona hoe:
“Yahweh of hosts says this: Ask the priests concerning the law, and say,
12 Raha misy mitondra hena masìna eny an-tsisin-dambany, ka voakasiky ny sisin-dambany ny mofo; na izay voahandro, na ny divay, na ny diloilo, na izay mety ho fihinana, moa ho tonga masìna koa va ireo? Dia namaly ny mpisorona nanao hoe: Tsia.
'If a man carries meat that is set apart to Yahweh in the fold of his garment, and the fold touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?'” The priests answered and said, “No.”
13 Ary hoy Hagay: Raha misy maloto amim-paty mikasika ireo, moa ho tonga maloto koa va ireo? Dia namaly ny mpisorona nanao hoe: Ho tonga maloto ireo.
Then Haggai said, “If someone who is unclean because of death touches any of these things, do they become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “Yes, they become unclean.”
14 Dia namaly Hagay nanao hoe: Tahaka izany eo anatrehako ireto olona ireto, ary tahaka izany ity firenena ity, hoy Jehovah; ary tahaka izany koa ny asan’ ny tànany rehetra; fa izay ateriny ao dia maloto.
So Haggai answered and said, “So it is with this people and this nation before me!—this is Yahweh's declaration—and so it is with everything done by their hands. What they offer to me is unclean!
15 Koa masìna ianareo, hevero ny hatramin’ izao andro anio izao no ho mankary, dia fony tsy mbola nisy vato nifanongoa tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah;
So now, think in your minds about the past leading up to this very day. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of Yahweh,
16 fony tamin’ izany andro izany raha nisy nankamin’ ny vary roa-polo mifatra, dia folo ihany; raha nisy nankamin’ ny vata fanantazana ranom-boaloboka hananty indimam-polon’ ny famarana, dia roa-polo ihany.
how was it then? When you came to a heap of twenty measures of grain, there were only ten; and when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, there were only twenty.
17 Ny vary main’ ny rivotra sy maty fotsy sy ny havandra no namelezako anareo tamin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo rehetra; nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
I afflicted you and all the work of your hands with blight and mildew, but you still did not turn to me—this is Yahweh's declaration.
18 Masìna ianareo, hevero ny hatramin’ izao andro anio izao no ho mankary, dia hatramin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo amin’ ny volana fahasivy, eny, hevero hatramin’ ny andro nanorenana ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
Consider from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Yahweh's temple was laid. Consider it!
19 Mbola ao an-tsompitra ihany va ny voan-javatra? Na dia ny voaloboka sy ny aviavy sy ny ampongabendanitra sy ny oliva aza dia tsy mbola mamoa; hatramin’ izao andro anio izao no hitahiako anareo.
Is there still seed in the storehouse? The vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not produced! But from this day will I bless you!”
20 Ary tonga fanindroany tamin’ i Hagay ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo nanao hoe:
Then the word of Yahweh came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month and said,
21 Lazao amin’ i Zerobabela, governora any Joda, hoe: Hampihorohoroiko ny lanitra sy ny tany
“Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, and say, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.
22 dia hahohoko ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakana, ary hofoanako ny herin’ ny fanjakan’ ny firenena; ary hahohoko ny kalesiny sy ny mitaingina eo aminy; ary samy ho lavon’ ny sabatry ny namany avy ny soavaly sy ny mpitaingina azy.
For I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations! I will overthrow the chariots and their riders; the horses and their riders will fall down, each one because of his brother's sword.
23 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia horaisiko ianao, ry Zerobabela mpanompoko, zanak’ i Sealtiela, hoy Jehovah, ka hataoko toy ny fanombohan-kase ianao; fa efa nifidy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, as my servant—this is Yahweh's declaration. I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you! —this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts!'”
