Hagay 2
1 Niheo amy Kagày mpitokiy amy volam-pahafitoy, amy andro faha-roapolo-raik’ ambi’ i volañeiy, ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai.
2 anò ty hoe amy Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele, naho am’ Iehosoa, ana’ Iehotsadake, mpisorom-bey, vaho amo sehanga’ondatio:
Say to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remaining people,
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?
Is there anyone left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it seem like nothing to you?
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.
So then be strong, Zerubbabel! Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, high priest! Be strong, all you people who remain in the land! Work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty.
5 Kanao nampijadoñeko i tsara nifañinàko ama’ areo t’ie niavotse i Mitsraimey te mimoneñe ama’ areo ao ty Troko: le ko mirevendreveñe.
Just as I promised you when you left Egypt, my Spirit continues to be among you. Don't be afraid!
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;
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Soon I will shake the heavens and the earth once more, 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.
I will shake all the nations, and the one desired by all of the nations will come and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty.
8 Ahiko o volafotio, Ahiko ka o volamènao, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord Almighty.
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.
The glory of this second house will be greater than the first, says the Lord Almighty, and I will bring peace in this place. So declares the Lord Almighty.
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:
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of the reign of king Darius, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai.
11 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Añontaneo o mpisoroñeo ty amy Hàke, ty hoe:
“This is what the Lord Almighty says: Ask the priests about the law.
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 someone carries some meat from a holy sacrifice in a fold of their clothes and that fold touches some bread or stew or wine or olive oil or any other kind of food, does that food become holy?” And the priests answered, “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.
Then Haggai asked, “If someone becomes unclean by touching a dead body and then touches any of these foods, do they become unclean?” The priests answered, “Yes, it does become unclean.”
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.
Then Haggai responded, “This is how it is with these people, and with the nation before me, says the Lord. All that they do, every offering they bring, is unclean.”
15 Ie henane zao, haraharao: taolo’ ty nampiningirañe ty vato ambone’ ty vato añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao,
Now think about what you're doing from this day on. Before a stone was laid on another stone in the house 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;
how was it for you? You expected a store of grain with twenty measures but only found ten. You thought you could empty out fifty measures from the winepress but there was only twenty.
17 linafako ty voreke o satam-pità’ areoo, naho tromambo, vaho havandra; fe tsy nitolike, hoe t’Iehovà:
I struck with blight and mildew and hail everything you were working so hard for, but even so you refused to come back to me, says 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;
Think about what you're doing from this day on, today the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month when a foundation was laid for the house of the Lord. Think about it:
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.
the seed is still in the barn. The vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate tree, and the olive tree have not yet given fruit. But from this day on I will bless you.
20 Niheo amy Kagày fañindroe’e amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ambi’ i volañeiy ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The Lord sent another message through the prophet Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
21 Saontsio amy Zerobabele, mpanjaka’ Iehodà ty hoe: hampiezeñezeñeko o likerañeo naho ty tane toy;
Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, I am going to shake the heavens and the 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.
I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the nations' kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots and their riders. The horses and riders will fall, and the men will kill each other by the sword.
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.
On that day, says the Lord, I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, and make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you. So declares the Lord Almighty.
