हाग्‍गै 2

1 सातौँ महिनाको एक्‍काईसौँ दिनमा, अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,

On October 17 [of that year], Yahweh gave [me], the prophet Haggai, [another] message.

2 यहूदाका राज्यपाल, शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, र यहोसादाकका छोरा प्रधान पूजाहारी यहोशू, र बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूलाई यस्तो भन् ।

[The message was that I should] say this to Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and to the other people who were still alive [in Jerusalem]:

3 ‘तिमीहरूमध्ये को बाँकी छ जसले यो भवनलाई त्यसको पहिलेको महिमामा देखेको थियो? अहिले तिमीहरूले यो कस्तो देख्छौ? के तिमीहरूका नजरमा यो केही मोल नभएको जस्तो छैन र?

“Do any of you remember how glorious our former temple was? [If you do, ] what does it look like to you now? It must seem like nothing at all.

4 अब, यरुबाबेल साहसी हो! - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, र यहोसादाकका छोरा यहोशू साहसी हो, र भूमिका सबै मानिसहरू, साहसी होओ! - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ- र काम गर्, किनकि म तिमीहरूसँग छु! यो सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

But now the Commander of the armies of angels says to [all of you], to Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of you people who live in this nation, ‘[Do not be discouraged; ] be strong [DOU], and work [to build this new temple], because I will (be with/help) you.

5 यो त्यही करार हो जुन मैले तिमीहरू मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर आउँदा तिमीहरूसँग स्थापित गरेको थिएँ, र मेरो आत्मा तिमीहरूसँग छ । नडराओ!

My Spirit remains among you, like I promised your [ancestors] when they left Egypt. [So] do not be afraid!’”

6 किनभने सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: केही समयमा, म फेरि आकाश र पृथ्वी, र समुद्र र सुक्खा भूमिलाई हल्लाउनेछु!

This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Soon I will shake the sky and the earth, the oceans and the land again.

7 म हरेक जातिलाई हल्लाउनेछु, र हरेक जातिले तिनीहरूका बहुमुल्य थोकहरू मकहाँ ल्याउनेछन्, अनि म यो भवनलाई महिमाले भर्नेछु, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

I will shake [again the people of] all the nations, and as a result they will bring their treasures [to this temple]. I will fill this temple with [my] glory.

8 चाँदी र सुन मेरै हुन्! - सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यो घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।

The silver and the gold [that they own] are [really] mine, [so they will bring them to me].

9 यस भवनको महिमा सुरुवातको समयको भन्दा पछि अति महान् हुनेछ, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, र म यस ठाउँमा शान्ति दिनेछु - सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यो घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”

[Then] this temple will be more glorious than the former/previous [temple was]. And I will cause things to go well for you all. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”

10 दाराको दोस्रो वर्षको नवौँ महिनाको चौबीसौँ दिनमा, अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,

On December 18 of that year, Yahweh gave [another] message to [me], the prophet Haggai.

11 “सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: व्यवस्थाको विषयमा पूजाहारीहरुलाई सोध्,

This is what the Commander of the armies of angels said to me: “Ask the priests [this question] about what is written in the laws [of Moses about sacrifices]:

12 ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिएको मासुलाई कसैले आफ्नो लुगामा पोको पारेर लग्यो, र त्यो पोकोले रोटी वा सुरुवा, मद्य वा तेल, वा कुनै भोजनलाई छोयो भने, के त्यो पवित्र हुन्छ?’” पूजाहारीहरुले यस्तो जवाफ दिए, “हुँदैन ।”

‘If one [of you priests takes from the altar some] meat that was sacrificed and is carrying it in his robes, if his robe touches [some] bread or stew or wine or [olive] oil or some other food, does that food also become (holy/acceptable for a sacrifice)?’” [When he said that to] the priests, they replied, “No.”

13 अनि हाग्‍गैले भने, “मरेको मानिस छोएर अशुद्ध भएको कोहीले यी कुराहरू छोयो भने, के ती अशुद्ध हुन्छन्?” पूजाहारीहरुले जवाफ दिए, “हो, ती अशुद्ध हुन्छन् ।”

Then Haggai asked them, “If someone becomes unacceptable to God by touching a corpse, and [then he] touches any of those foods, will the food [also] become unacceptable to God?” The priests replied, “Yes.”

14 यसैकारण हाग्‍गैले जवाफ दिए, “यसैकारण मेरो अगि यी मानिसहरू र यो जाति, र तिनीहरूका हातले गरेका सबै कुरा यस्तै छन्! - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । तिनीहरूले मलाई अर्पण गरेका कुरा अशुद्ध छन्!

Then Haggai replied, “Yahweh says [this]: ‘It is the same with you people and with this nation. Everything that you do and [all the sacrifices] that you all offer are unacceptable to me [because of the sins that you have committed].

15 यसैकारण अब, आजको दिनसम्म पुर्‍याउने बितेको समयको बारेमा विचार गर । परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा एउटा ढुङ्गामाथि अर्को ढुङ्गा राख्‍नअगि त्यो कस्तो थियो?

Think about what has been happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of my temple.

16 तिमीहरू बिस मुरी अन्‍नको छेऊमा आउँदा, त्यहाँ दश मात्र थिए, र तिमीहरू पचास लिटर दखमद्य लिन कोलमा आउँदा, त्यहाँ बिसमात्र थिए ।

When you expected [to harvest] 20 bushels [of grain, you harvested] only ten bushels. When someone went to a [big] wine vat to get 50 gallons [of wine], there were only 20 [gallons in the vat].

17 मैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सबै कामहरूलाई शीत र ढुसीले सताएँ, तर पनि तिमीहरू मकहाँ फर्केनौ, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।

I sent (blight/hot winds) and mildew and hail to destroy all your crops. But still you did not return to me.

18 नवौँ महिनाको चौबीसौँ दिनबाट उसो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको जग बसालिएको कुरामाथि ध्यान देओ ।

Starting from this day, December 18, the day when [you] have laid the foundation of my [new] temple, continue to think carefully [about your situation].

19 के भण्डारमा अझै बीउ छ? दाखको बोट, अन्जिरको रूख, अनार, र जैतूनको रूखले फल दिएको छैन । तर यस दिनदेखि म तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनेछु!”

Is there now [RHQ] [any grain] seed left in your barns? [No, because you have eaten the small amount that you harvested]. And there is no fruit on your grapevines and fig trees and pomegranate [trees] and olive trees. But, from now on, I will bless you!’”

20 त्यस महिनाको चौबीसौँ दिनमा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन फेरि एक पटक हाग्‍गैकहाँ आयो,

On that same day, Yahweh gave another message to me.

21 “‘मैले आकाश र पृथ्वी हल्लाउनेछु भनी यहूदाका राज्यपाल यरुबाबेललाई भन् ।

[He said, ] “Tell Zerubbabel the governor of Judah that I am going to shake the sky and the earth.

22 किनभने म जाति-जातिहरूका राज्यहरूको सिंहासनलाई पल्टाइदिनेछु र तिनीहरूका शक्तिलाई नष्‍ट गर्नेछु । रथहरू र तिनीहरूमा सवारहरूलाई म पल्टाइदिनेछु । घोडाहरू र तिनमा सवारहरू आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूका तरवारद्धारा तल खस्‍नेछन् ।

I will end the power of the kings of [many] nations [DOU]. I will cause their chariots and their drivers, their horses and [the soldiers] who are riding on them to be destroyed. [What will happen is that I will cause the soldiers] to kill each other with their swords.

23 सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, त्यस दिन ए शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल, म तँलाई मेरो दास बनाउनेछु । म तँलाई छाप-औँठीझैँ बनाउनेछु, किनभने मैले तँलाई चुनेको छु! परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ!’”

Zerubbabel, you serve [me well]. So [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, declare that [like kings wear] signet rings [to show that they have authority to rule people], I will appoint you and cause you [to have authority to rule]. I will do that because I have chosen you. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
