Haggai 2
1 And in the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Jou ki make venteyenyèm jou nan setyèm mwa nan menm lanne a, Seyè a bay pwofèt Aje yon lòt mesaj ankò.
2 Speak to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, the governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remainder of the people, saying:
Li di li konsa: -Pale ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, gouvènè peyi Jida a, ak Jozye, granprèt la, pitit gason Jozadak la, ansanm ak pèp ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a. W'a di yo:
3 Who is left among you, who saw this house in its first glory? And how do you see it now? Is it not, in comparison to that, as nothing in your eyes?
Eske gen yonn nan nou ki chonje jan tanp lan te bèl nan tan lontan? Ki jan nou wè l' koulye a? Nou pa wè li pa vo anyen?
4 And now be strengthened, Zerubbabel, says the Lord. And be strengthened, Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strengthened, all people of the land, says the Lord of hosts. For I am with you, says the Lord of hosts.
Men koulye a, kouraj, Zowobabèl! Se Seyè a menm k'ap pale avè ou. Kouraj, Jozye, granprèt la, pitit Jozadak la! Kouraj, nou tout ki rete nan peyi a! Se Seyè a menm k'ap pale ak nou! Mete men nan travay la, paske mwen la avèk nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
5 And act according to the word that I planted with you when you departed from the land of Egypt. And my Spirit will be in your midst. Do not be afraid.
Lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap toujou la avèk nou. Enben! M' la nan mitan nou. Nou pa bezwen pè.
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: There is yet one brief time, and I will move heaven and earth, and the sea and the dry land.
Paske men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Anvan lontan, mwen pral souke syèl la ak latè a, lanmè a ak tè yo.
7 And I will move all nations. And the Desired of all nations will arrive. And I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts.
Mwen pral souke tout nasyon yo. Yo pral pote tout richès yo isit la, yo pral plen kay sa a ak bèl bagay. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
8 Mine is the silver, and mine is the gold, says the Lord of hosts.
Se pou mwen tout lò ak tout ajan sou latè ye. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
9 Great shall be the glory of this house, the last more than the first, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place, I will bestow peace, says the Lord of hosts.
Kay sa a ap pi bèl lontan pase premye a. Se isit la menm m'ap bay tout moun kè poze. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying:
Jou ki te make vennkatriyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa nan dezyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis la, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a bay pwofèt Aje yon lòt mesaj ankò. Li di l' konsa:
11 Thus says the Lord of hosts: the priests question the law, saying:
-Al mande prèt yo sa lalwa di sou sa.
12 If a man will have carried sanctified flesh in the pocket of his garment, and the top of it touches his bread, or appetizer, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be sanctified? But the priests responded by saying, “No.”
Si yon moun pran yon moso vyann yo mete apa pou Bondye, li vlope l' nan ke rad li. Lèfini, li kite rad la touche yon pen, osinon yon manje kwit, osinon yon veso ki gen diven osinon ki gen lwil, ou nenpòt ki kalite manje, èske sa ap mete manje a apa pou Bondye tou pou sa? Lè Aje mande prèt yo sa, yo reponn li: -Non!
13 And Haggai said, “If the polluted in soul will have touched any of all these things, shall it be contaminated?” And the priests responded and said, “It shall be contaminated.”
Lèfini, Aje mande yo: -Lè yon moun pa nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye paske li te manyen yon kadav, lèfini si li manyen yonn nan kalite manje sa yo, èske sa ap fè manje yo pa bon pou sa pou moun ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye? Prèt yo reponn li: -Wi!
14 And Haggai answered and he said: Such is this people, and such is this nation before my face, says the Lord, and such is all the work of their hands. And so all that they have offered there has been contaminated.
Lè sa a, Aje di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a di. Se menm bagay la tou pou pèp nasyon sa a ansanm ak tou sa y'ap fè a. Sa yo ofri ban mwen an pa bon, paske yo pa nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi Bondye.
15 And now, consider in your hearts, from this day and beyond, before stone may be placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord:
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Depi jòdi a, kalkile byen sou sa ki rive nou. Anvan nou te konmanse rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a,
16 when you approached a pile of twenty measures, and they became ten, and you entered to the press, to press out fifty bottles, and they became twenty,
ki jan sa te ye pou nou? Nou te al fè rekòt nan yon jaden ble, nou te konprann nou t'ap jwenn vin barik, se dis ase nou jwenn. N' al chache diven nan yon barik depo, nou te konprann nou t'ap jwenn senkant galon, se vin galon ase nou jwenn.
17 how I struck you with a burning wind, and a mildew, and a hailstorm, all the works of your hand, yet there was no one among you who returned to me, says the Lord.
Mwen voye lawouy ak lagrèl gate tou sa nou te plante ak men nou. Mwen fè yo kanni. Men, nou yonn pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
18 Set your hearts from this day and into the future, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord have been uttered, and place it upon your heart.
Men jòdi a, vennkatryèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a, jou nou te fini ak fondasyon tanp lan, kalkile byen sou sa ki pral rive nou la a!
19 Has the seed been germinated yet? And has the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree still not flourished? From this day on, I will bless you.
Ata grenn pou plante pa gen ankò nan depo nou yo. Ni pye rezen nou yo, ni pye fig frans nou yo, ni pye grenad nou yo, ni pye oliv nou yo pa donnen ankò. Men, depi jounen jòdi a, mwen pral beni nou.
20 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
Menm jou sa a, ki te vennkatriyèm jou nan mwa a, Seyè a bay Aje yon dezyèm mesaj. Li di l' konsa:
21 Speak to Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
-Pale ak Zowobabèl, gouvènè peyi Jida a, di l' pou mwen: Mwen pral souke syèl la ak latè a.
22 And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and I will crush the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles. And I will overturn the four-horse chariot, and its rider; and the horses and their riders shall be brought down, a man by the sword of his brother.
Mwen pral jete wa k'ap gouvènen yo, mwen pral detwi pouvwa nasyon yo. Mwen pral chavire cha lagè yo ansanm ak moun ki sou yo. Tout chwal yo pral mouri. Pou moun ki te sou chwal yo menm, yonn pral touye lòt ak nepe yo.
23 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will set you like a seal, for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts.
Jou sa a, m'ap pran ou, ou menm Zowobabèl, sèvitè m' lan, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, m'ap ba ou pouvwa pou gouvènen nan non mwen, paske se ou menm mwen chwazi pou sa. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa
