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 king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
2 “सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: यी मानिसहरू भन्छन्, ‘हामी आएर परमप्रभुको भवन निर्माण गर्ने समय अझै आएको छैन’ ।”
Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.
3 त्यसपछि अगमवक्ता हाग्गैद्धारा परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,
But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 “यो मन्दिर ध्वस्त हुँदा के यो तिमीहरू आफ्ना सुन्दर घरहरूमा बस्‍ने समय हो?
Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses, while this house is deserted?
5 यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: आफ्ना मार्गहरूमाथि ध्यान देओ!
And now, thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon 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 sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with holes.
7 सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: “आफ्ना मार्गहरूमाथि ध्यान देओ ।
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
8 माथि पर्वतमा जाओ, काठहरू ल्याओ, र मेरो भवन बनाओ, अनि म त्यसमा आनन्द मनाउनेछु, र म महिमित हुनेछु - परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
Ascend to the mountain, bring wood and build the house, and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall 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 have looked for more, and behold, it became less, and you brought it home, and I blew it away. What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts? It is because my house is desolate, yet you have hurried, each one to his own house.
10 यसैकारण आकाशले आफ्नो शीत रोकिदिनेछ, र पृथ्वीले आफ्नो उब्जनी दिनेछैन ।
Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew, and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
11 मैले भूमि, पर्वतहरू, अन्‍न, नयाँ मद्य, तेल, पृथ्वीका उब्जनीहरू, मानिसहरू, पशुहरू, र तिमीहरूका हातका परिश्रममाथि अनिकाल बोलाएको छु ।”
And I called a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the wheat, and over the wine, and over the oil, and whatever the soil would bring forth, and over men, and over beasts of burden, and over all the labor of 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 ।
And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of the Lord.
13 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका समाचारवाहक, हाग्‍गैले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनी परमप्रभुको सन्देश सुनाए, “म तिमीहरूसँग छु - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
And Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord, spoke to the people, saying: the Lord says, “I am with you.”
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 the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the remainder of all the people. And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
15 दारा राजाको दोस्रो वर्षको छैटौँ महिनाको चौबीसौँ दिनमा यो भयो ।
On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius, they began.
