Haggai 2
1 Chuin chuche kum leh chuche lha ma ma nisim somni le sagi nin Pakai in themgao Haggai koma thu ahin seikit tai.
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 “Judah gamvaipo Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel ahin, thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua ahin, chuleh Pathen mite ahingdoh amoh cheng henga hitin seiyin:
“Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
3 ‘Koipen ham hiche in hejing nalaiya? – hiche houin – masanga aloupina leh ahoina he nalai? Hiche toh chun tedinga tua hi i-toh nabah sah uvem? Imacha hiloubeh toh abang jeng tai!
‘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 Ahin tun Pakai in aseiye: Zerubbabel hat’in. Thempu chungnung Jehozadak chapa Jeshua hat’in. Gamsunga umcheng mipi teho nang ho jong hat’uvin. Chuleh tun kipat-un, tong pan’un, ajeh chu keiman ka umpi naove tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye.
Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Hosts.
5 Egypt nahin dalhah uva, kakitepna bang bangin, kalhagao nalah uva, aum jing nai. Hijeh chun kichah hih hel’un.”
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’
6 Ijeh-inem itihleh Pakai Van Sepai chun hitin aseiye: Chomkhat jouleh van le leiset kaholing kit ding, twikhanglen leh gam go lai jouse jong ka holing ding ahi.
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;
7 Namtin vaipi kaholing ding ahi, chuleh athil khol jouseu hiche houin sunga hung kilhut soh ding, Loupi taha kadip soh hel ding ahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiyin ahi.
and I will shake all nations. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.
8 Sana jong keiya ahin, dangka jong keiya ahi tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Hosts.
9 Masanga aloupina sanga hiche houin hi hung loupi jo cheh ding ahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun seiyin ahi.
‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Hosts; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”
10 Darius lengvaipoh kal kumni lhin kum, Ollha nisim som le get nin Pakai in themgao Haggai henga thu ahin seiye:
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Hiche hi Pakai van sepai chun asei ahi. Hiche dan thupeh chung changa thudoh ho chu thempu ho dongin:
“The LORD of Hosts says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 ‘nangho laha koipen hamkhat chun akithensosa satheng chu asangkhol chol a podoh henlang chule asongkhol chol chun changlhah ham ahilouleh anme ham, lengpi twi ham, olive thao twi ham ahilou jongleh nehthei khat pen pen chu tongkha taleh hichun thensah uvin tem? Thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Thensah ponte,” atiuve.
‘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 priests answered, “No.”
13 Chuin Haggai in adong in, “Mihem khat mithi long atohkhat jeh'a dan dungjuiya aboh a um chun hiche neh le chah ho chu tongkha taleh, abohsah ding hitam?” Chuin thempu hon adonbut uvin, “Henge abohsah ahitai,” atiuve.
Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
14 Chuin Haggai in adonbut in, “Hiche mipi le nam mite jong chu tobang chu ahiuve, tin Pakai in aseiye. Athilbol jouseu ahin chuleh athil todohu jouseu abon'a achonset uvin asuhboh sohji ahi.
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 Pakai houin sahna dinga abul naphudoh masangun nachung uva ipi pi anasoh ham vephaovin.
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.
16 Na lou sohu thiltena som ni dinga nakinepiu chu som bou naki mubep un ahi. Lengpi twi tena somnga childoh dinga naginchat’u chu somni bou nate doh jouvin ahi.
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 Keiman nalouma jouseu ka motlhah sah’in, nget kaneh sah’in chuleh gelchang kalhah sah’in natohgau muchi chivo jouse kasumang in ahi. Hiche jouse nungin jong, ka henga nahung kile nom hih laiyuve, tin Pakai in aseiye.”
I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says the LORD.
18 Phatechan tuni nikho, Ollha nisim som le get ni, hiche nikho, Pakai Houin ding abul kiphu nikho hi ngaitouvin. Lunggil tahin gel’uvin.
‘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 Tu nikho, na changchi’u changsala aumpet’a kakitep ahi. Chang na at hih laiyui, lengpi twi le theichang phung le olive phung le kolbuthei phung hon ga asepdoh hihlai uve. Hijeng jongle tuni nikhoa pat’a phatthei kaboh ding nahi tauve.”
Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”
20 Chuche nikho ma ma, Ollha nisim som le get nikhon Pakai in anivei chanan Haggai henga thu ahinsei kit in:
The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 Judah gamvaipo Zerubbel henga seipehin, Keiman vanho jouse le leiset kaholing ding koncha ahitai.
“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth.
22 Leng gam jouse leh alaltounau jouse akhup athal’a kale ding, Sagol kangtalai le achunga tou jouse jong akhup athal’a kale ding ahi. Sakol jouse lhalhop soh ding chuleh achunga tou jouse amaho le amaho kithat todiu ahi.
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 “Hichu ahung lhung teng, ka lhacha Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel, jabolna kapeh ding nahi, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye. Keiman mohor kisemna khutjem banga kasem ding nahi, ajeh chu kalhendohsa nahi tai, tin Pakai Van Sepai chun aseiye. Pakai Van Sepai, Keiman tahin kasei ahi!” ati.
In that day, says the LORD of Hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”
