< Hagay 2 >

1 Niheo amy Kagày mpitokiy amy volam-pahafitoy, amy andro faha-roapolo-raik’ ambi’ i volañeiy, ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
2 anò ty hoe amy Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele, naho am’ Iehosoa, ana’ Iehotsadake, mpisorom-bey, vaho amo sehanga’ondatio:
Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
3 Ia ty honka ama’ areo nahaisake ty anjomba toy amy enge’e taoloy? akore ty fahaoniña’ areo aze henanekeo? Hera tsy vente’e am-pihaino’ areo?
Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
4 Fe mihaozara henane zao ry Zerobabele, hoe t’Iehovà; le mihafatrara ry Iehosoa, ana’ Iehotsadake, mpisorom-bey, naho mihaozara ry hene ondati’ o taneo, hoe t’Iehovà vaho mifanehafa, fa himbaeko, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
5 Kanao nampijadoñeko i tsara nifañinàko ama’ areo t’ie niavotse i Mitsraimey te mimoneñe ama’ areo ao ty Troko: le ko mirevendreveñe.
The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
6 Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Indraik’ avao, le anianike te hozoñozoñeko i likerañey naho ty tane toy, naho i riakey vaho o tamboho maikeo;
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
7 le hampi­ezeñezeñeko o kilakila’ ondatio, naho homb’atoy iaby ze vara soa’ o fifeheañeo vaho hatsafeko engeñe ty anjomba toy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
8 Ahiko o volafotio, Ahiko ka o volamènao, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Handikoatse ty enge’ i taoloy ty enge’ i anjomba manonjohiy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; vaho hampanintsiñeko ty toetse toy, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Niheo amy Kagày mpitoky amy faha-roapolo-efats’ambi’ i volam-paha-sivey, amy taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavesey ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
11 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Añontaneo o mpisoroñeo ty amy Hàke, ty hoe:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
12 Ie minday hena navaheñe an-kitambe’e ao vaho mioza ami’ty mofo ndra ampemba ndra divay ndra menake ndra amy ze atao mahakama i kitambey, hiavake hao re? Tsie, hoe ty natoi’ o mpisoroñeo.
If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
13 Le hoe t’i Kagày: Aa ie tsapae’ ty nileoren-dolo i raha rezay, halio hao re? Haleotse re, hoe ty natoi’ o mpisoroñeo.
And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
14 Nanoiñe amy zao t’i Kagày nanao ty hoe: Izay ka ondaty retoañe, naho ty fifeheañe miatrek’ ahy, hoe t’Iehovà: hambañe ama’e ka o satam-pità’ iareo iabio; vaho maleotse o engae’ iereoo.
And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
15 Ie henane zao, haraharao: taolo’ ty nampiningirañe ty vato ambone’ ty vato añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao,
And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
16 ie henane zay naho niheo-mb’am-pitoboroñañe aman-droapolo ondatio, folo avao ty nitendreke; ie nimb’am-pipiritañe mb’eo hañakara’e fitovy limampolo am-pipiritañe ao, le roa-polo avao ty tao;
When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
17 linafako ty voreke o satam-pità’ areoo, naho tromambo, vaho havandra; fe tsy nitolike, hoe t’Iehovà:
I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
18 Ehe, vetsevetseo henane zao, mifototse amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-paha-siveiy, i andro nañoreñañe ty mananta’ i anjomba’ Iehovàiy—itsa­koreo;
Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
19 ke mbe aman-tabiry ty an-driha ao? Eka, mboe tsy namoa o vaheo, o sakoañeo, o raketao, naho o oliveo—fe henane zao, ho tahieko nahareo.
Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
20 Niheo amy Kagày fañindroe’e amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ambi’ i volañeiy ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
21 Saontsio amy Zerobabele, mpanjaka’ Iehodà ty hoe: hampiezeñezeñeko o likerañeo naho ty tane toy;
Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
22 havalitsin­goreko ty fiambesa’ o fifeheañeo naho harotsa­ko ty haozaram-pifeleha’ o kilakila’ ndatio vaho hahohoko o sareteo rekets’ o mijoñe ama’eo; sindre hikorovoke o soavalao rekets’ o mpiningitseo, songa am-pibaran-dongo’e.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, ho rambeseko irehe ry Zerobabele, mpitoroko, toe ana’ i Sealtiele, hoe t’Iehovà, hanoeko bangem-pitomboke; toe ihe ty jinoboko, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
