< Hagay 2 >

1 Niheo amy Kagày mpitokiy amy volam-pahafitoy, amy andro faha-roapolo-raik’ ambi’ i volañeiy, ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 anò ty hoe amy Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele, naho am’ Iehosoa, ana’ Iehotsadake, mpisorom-bey, vaho amo sehanga’ondatio:
"Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, and to the remnant 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 who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn't it in your eyes as nothing?
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 be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the LORD. 'Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol. Be strong, all you people of the land,' says the LORD, 'and work, for I am with you,' says 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.
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Ruach lived among you. 'Do not 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;
For this is what the LORD of hosts says: 'Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens 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 shake all nations, and they will come with the treasures of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says 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,' says 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.
'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts; 'and in this place will I give peace,' says 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 twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Añontaneo o mpisoroñeo ty amy Hàke, ty hoe:
"Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask now the cohanim concerning 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 someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The cohanim 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 said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The cohanim answered, "It will be 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 answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says the LORD; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
15 Ie henane zao, haraharao: taolo’ ty nampiningirañe ty vato ambone’ ty vato añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao,
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on 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;
Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
17 linafako ty voreke o satam-pità’ areoo, naho tromambo, vaho havandra; fe tsy nitolike, hoe t’Iehovà:
I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn 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;
'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider 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.
Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven't brought forth. From this day will I bless you.'"
20 Niheo amy Kagày fañindroe’e amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ambi’ i volañeiy ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The word of the LORD came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 Saontsio amy Zerobabele, mpanjaka’ Iehodà ty hoe: hampiezeñezeñeko o likerañeo naho ty tane toy;
"Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, 'I will 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 throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone 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, says the LORD of hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says the LORD, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says the LORD of hosts."
