Haggai 1
1 In yac se akluo ma Darius el tokosra fulat lun Persia, ke len se oemeet in malem se akonkosr, LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu sin mwet uh sel mwet palu Haggai. Kas inge ma nu sel Zerubbabel, governor lun Judah su wen natul Shealtiel, ac nu sel Joshua, Mwet Tol Fulat su wen natul Jehozadak.
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, saying:
2 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sel Haggai, “Mwet inge fahk mu tia pacl fal se pa inge in sifilpa musai Tempul.”
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
3 Na LEUM GOD El fahk kas inge nu sin mwet uh sel mwet palu Haggai:
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
4 “Mwet luk, efu ku kowos muta in lohm ma musaiyukla arulana wo, a Tempul luk musallana oan?
Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?
5 Ku kowos tiana akilen ma sikyak nu suwos uh?
And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.
6 Kowos yukwiya fita na pukanten, a ma kowos kosrani uh arulana pu. Oasr mwe mongo nowos, a kowos tia ku in kihpi kac. Oasr wain kowos in nim, a kowos tia muti kac! Oasr nuknuk lowos, tuh tia ku in akfusrfusrye kowos. Ac mwet orekma uh, molol tia fal in sang enenu lal.
You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.
7 Kowos tiana akilen lah efu ku sikyak ouinge?
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set Your hearts upon your ways:
8 Kowos utyak inge nu fineol uh, pakema kutu sak, ac sifil musaela Tempul, na nga fah insewowo, ac kowos fah alu nu sik we.
Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith the Lord.
9 “Kowos finsrak nu ke kosrani yohk, a ma kowos kosrani uh arulana srik. Ac ke kowos use ma kowos kosrani nu lohm suwos, nga okla wanginla. Efu ku nga oru ouinge? Mweyen Tempul luk oanna musalla, a kais sie suwos kafofona in orekma ke lohm sel sifacna.
You have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts? because my house is desolate, and you make haste every man to his own house.
10 Pa inge sripen wangin af, ac wangin ma ku in kapak uh.
Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
11 Nga use tuka nu fin acn uh — aok nu fin inging uh, ac inima in wheat, inima in grape, inima in sak olive, ac nu fin fohk nukewa su oswe fokin ima uh, oayapa nu fin mwet ac ma orakrak, ac nu fin ma nukewa kowos srike in yukwiya.”
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon beasts, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 Na Zerubbabel ac Joshua ac mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh in Babylonia elos oru ma LEUM GOD lalos El fahk nu selos in oru. Elos tuh sangeng sin LEUM GOD, oru elos akos na ma Haggai, mwet palu su mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el fahk.
Then Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and all the remnant of the people hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the Lord.
13 Na Haggai el sang kas lun LEUM GOD inge nu sin mwet uh: “Nga ac fah wi kowos — pa inge wulela luk.”
And Aggeus the messenger of the Lord, as one of the messengers of the Lord, spoke, saying to the people: I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 LEUM GOD El pirik mwet nukewa in orekma ke Tempul: Governor Zerubbabel lun Judah; Mwet Tol Fulat Joshua, ac mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh. Elos mutawauk in orekma ke Tempul lun LEUM GOD Kulana, su God lalos,
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
15 ke len aklongoul akosr ke malem se akonkosr ke yac se akluo in pacl Darius el tokosra fulat.
In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
