< Haggai 2 >

1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Khrah sarihto haih, ni pumphaeto pacoeng, nito naah, Tahmaa Haggai khae hoi Angraeng ih lok to angzoh;
2 “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,
Shealtiel capa, Judah prae ukkung, Zerubbabel hoi Jehosadak capa, kalen koek qaima Joshua hoi anghmat kaminawk khaeah,
3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is not it in your eyes as nothing?
canghni ah hae im lensawkhaih hnu kami na oh o vop maw? Vaihi loe kawbang maw na hnuk o boeh? Na khet o naah canghni ih lensawkhaih hoiah patah han koi timaw oh?
4 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 Armies.
Toe Aw Zerubbabel, vaihi na thacaksak ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; Jehosadak capa, kalen koek qaima Joshua hoi prae thungah kaom nangcae ih kaminawk boih, na thacak o sak loe, tok to sah oh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih. Kai loe nangcae hoi nawnto oh:
5 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Do not be afraid.’
Izip prae thung hoiah nang zoh o naah, nangcae hoi lokmaihaih ka sak ih baktih toengah, ka Muithla nangcae salakah oh: zii o hmah, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
6 For this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; nawnetta oh pacoengah, van hoi long, tuipui hoi saoengnawk to vaito ka huenh han vop;
7 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 Armies.
prae kaminawk to ka huenh boih han, prae kaminawk boih mah koeh o ih hmuen to angzo tih: to naah hae im hae lensawkhaih hoiah ka koisak han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Armies.
Sum kanglung loe kai ih hmuen ah oh, sui doeh kai ih ni, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih:
9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
hnukkhuem ah sak ih hae im lensawkhaih loe canghni ih lensawkhaih pongah len kue tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih: hae ahmuen ah monghaih ka paek han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
10 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,
Darius siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnet, khrah takawt, ni pumphae palito naah, Tahmaa Haggai khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,
11 “The LORD of Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Sithaw lok mah timaw thuih, tito qaimanawk khaeah dueng oh,
12 ‘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.”
kami maeto mah kaciim ah sin ih moi to angmah ih kahni hoiah tapawk, a tapawk ih kahni hoiah takaw maw, moi maw, misurtui maw, situi maw, to tih ai boeh loe kawbaktih caaknaek maw sui nahaeloe ciim tih maw? tiah dueng oh, tiah a naa. To naah qaimanawk mah, Ciim mak ai, tiah a pathim pae o.
13 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.”
To pacoengah Haggai mah, Kadueh qok sui kami maeto mah hae ih hmuennawk hae sui nahaeloe ciimcai ai ah om mak ai maw? tiah a naa. To naah qimanawk mah ciimcai ai ah ni om tih, tiah pathim pae o.
14 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.
To naah Haggai mah, Hae kaminawk hoi acaengnawk loe ka hmaa ah to tiah ni oh o, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih; a sak o ih hmuennawk hoi a paek o ih hmuennawk loe ciim ai.
15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.
To pongah vaihni hoi kamtong kahoih ah poek oh; canghni ah loe Angraeng ih tempul thungah thlung maeto pacoeng maeto pahong o.
16 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.
Canghnii ah loe kami maeto mah cang benthang pumphaeto tacawthaih ahmuen ah caeh naah, benthang hato khue ni a hak: kami maeto mah misurtui laom qui pangato pasawhhaih ahmuen ah caeh naah, laom pumphaeto khue ni a hak.
17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me,’ says the LORD.
Na ban hoi sak ih toknawk boih to kai mah, dantui hoi qaetui hoiah dankang paek o, toe kai khaeah nam laem o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 ‘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.
Vaihni ni hoi kamtong, khrah takawtto haih, ni pumphaeto pacoeng, ni palito, Angraeng ih tempul sakhaih ni hoi kamtong, kahoih ah pakoep oh:
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not produced. From today I will bless you.’”
tapup thungah cangtii oh maw? ue, vaihi khoek to misurthaih, thaiduet thaih, pomegranat thaih, Olive thaih athai ai vop: vaihni hoi kamtong tahamhoihaih kang paek o han boeh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
20 The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
To natheum ih khrah, ni pumphae palito naah, Haggai khaeah Angraeng ih lok angzoh let,
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth.
Judah prae ukkung, Zerubbabel khaeah, Kai mah van hoi long to ka huen han;
22 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.
siangpahrangnawk ih angraeng tangkhang to buenglueng tamlet ah ka pakhup pae moe, Sithaw panoek ai prae kaminawk thacakhaih to ka phraek pae han; hrang lakok hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk to ka palet pae han; hrang hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk loe angmacae nawkamyanawk ih sumsen hoiah dueh o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
23 In that day, says the LORD of Armies, 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 Armies.”
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, to na niah loe Aw Shealtiel capa, ka tamna, Zerubbabel, nang to kang lak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; nang to ka qoih boeh pongah, sui bantuek baktiah kang sak han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.
