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], in the twenty and first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been 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, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, and unto the remnant of the people, saying:
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 among you hath been left that saw this house in its former honour? And what are ye seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as 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,
And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye — (for I [am] with you, An affirmation of Jehovah 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.
The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, fear not.
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 thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet once more — it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And 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.
And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] honour, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
8 Ahy ny volafotsy, ary Ahy ny volamena, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
Mine [is] the silver, and Mine the gold, An affirmation of Jehovah 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.
Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give peace, An affirmation of Jehovah 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 and fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
11 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Andeha maka hevitra amin’ ny mpisorona hoe:
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Ask, I pray thee, the priests [of] the law, saying:
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.
Lo, one doth carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he hath come with his skirt against the bread, or against the pottage, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food — is it holy?' And the priests answer and say, '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.
And Haggai saith, 'If the unclean of body doth come against any of these, is it unclean?' And the priests answer and say, 'It is 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.
And Haggai answereth and saith, 'So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there — it 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;
And now, lay [it], I pray you, to your heart, From this day, and onwards, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of Jehovah.
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.
From that time [one] hath come to a heap of twenty, And it hath been ten, He hath come unto the wine-fat to draw out fifty purahs, And it hath been 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 have smitten you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail — All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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.
Set [it], I pray you, to your heart, from this day and onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded, set [it] to your heart.
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 the seed yet in the barn? And hitherto the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne — from this day I bless.'
20 Ary tonga fanindroany tamin’ i Hagay ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo nanao hoe:
And there is a word of Jehovah a second time unto Haggai, on the twenty and fourth of the month, saying:
21 Lazao amin’ i Zerobabela, governora any Joda, hoe: Hampihorohoroiko ny lanitra sy ny tany
'Speak unto Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying: I am shaking 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.
And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And come down have horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother.
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.
In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant — an affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
