1 दारा राजाको दोस्रो बर्षको छैटौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा, शालतिएलका छोरा यहूदाका राज्यपाल यरुबाबेल, र यहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पूजाहारी यहोशूकहाँ अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 “सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: यी मानिसहरू भन्छन्, ‘हामी आएर परमप्रभुको भवन निर्माण गर्ने समय अझै आएको छैन’ ।”
Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built.
3 त्यसपछि अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,
Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 “यो मन्दिर ध्वस्त हुँदा के यो तिमीहरू आफ्ना सुन्दर घरहरूमा बस्‍ने समय हो?
Is it time for you, O you, to dwell in your paneled houses, and this house lie waste?
5 यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: आफ्ना मार्गहरूमाथि ध्यान देओ!
Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 तिमीहरूले प्रशस्त बीऊ छरेका छौ, तर फसल भने थोरै मात्र ल्याउँछौ, तिमीहरू खान्छौ तर तिमीहरूसँग पर्याप्‍त छैन । तिमीहरू पिउँछौ, तर प्रशस्त मद्य तिमीहरूसँग छैन । तिमीहरू लुगा लगाउँछौ तर आफैँलाई तातो राख्‍न सक्दैनौ, र ज्यालादारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले पैसा कमाउँछन् तर तिनीहरूले ती प्वालहरू भएका झोलामा राख्दछन् ।”
You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: “आफ्ना मार्गहरूमाथि ध्यान देओ ।
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 माथि पर्वतमा जाओ, काठहरू ल्याओ, र मेरो भवन बनाओ, अनि म त्यसमा आनन्द मनाउनेछु, र म महिमित हुनेछु - परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the LORD.
9 “तिमीहरूले धेरै कुराको खोजी गर्‍यौ, तर हेर! तिमीहरूले घरमा थोरै कुरा ल्यायौ, कनभने मैले ती उडाइदिएँ । किन?” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । “किनभने मेरो भवन भग्‍नावशेषको बिचमा छ, तर तिमीहरू हरेक भने आफ्नै घर बनाउन लागिपरेका छौ ।
You looked for much, and, see it came to little; and when you brought it home, I did blow on it. Why? says the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that is waste, and you run every man to his own house.
10 यसैकारण आकाशले आफ्नो शीत रोकिदिनेछ, र पृथ्वीले आफ्नो उब्जनी दिनेछैन ।
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 मैले भूमि, पर्वतहरू, अन्‍न, नयाँ मद्य, तेल, पृथ्वीका उब्जनीहरू, मानिसहरू, पशुहरू, र तिमीहरूका हातका परिश्रममाथि अनिकाल बोलाएको छु ।”
And I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the corn, and on the new wine, and on the oil, and on that which the ground brings forth, and on men, and on cattle, and on all the labor of the hands.
12 अनि शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, र येहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पूजाहारी यहोशूले, बाँकी रहेका सबै मानिसका साथमा तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर परमप्रभुको आवाज र अगमवक्ता हाग्‍गैका वचनलाई पालन गरे, किनभने तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर परमप्रभुले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको थियो र मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको भय मान्थे ।
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
13 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका समाचारवाहक, हाग्‍गैले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनी परमप्रभुको सन्देश सुनाए, “म तिमीहरूसँग छु - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
Then spoke Haggai the LORD’s messenger in the LORD’s message to the people, saying, I am with you, says the LORD.
14 यसकारण परमप्रभुले यहूदाका राज्यपाल, शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, येहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पुजारी यहोशू, र सबै बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका आत्मालाई उत्तेजित गरिदिनुभयो, अनि तिनीहरू गए र तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको भवनमा काम गरे ।
And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
15 दारा राजाको दोस्रो वर्षको छैटौँ महिनाको चौबीसौँ दिनमा यो भयो ।
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
