Haggai 2

1 In len se aklongoul sie ke malem se akitkosr in yac sacna, LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sin mwet uh sel Haggai mwet palu.

And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:

2 El fahkang nu sel Haggai in kaskas nu sel Governor Zerubbabel lun Judah, nu sel Joshua, su Mwet Tol Fulat, ac nu sin mwet uh ac fahk,

Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:

3 “Ya oasr kutu mwet inmasrlowos su srakna esam lupan wolana lun Tempul se meet ah? Ac inge kowos liye tuh fuka? Sahp kowos liye mu ma na lusrongten se.

Who is left among you, that 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?

4 Tusruktu inge, nimet lela kutena suwos in munasla nanka. Kowos orekma na, tuh nga wi kowos.

Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)

5 Ke kowos tuh ilme liki facl Egypt, nga tuh wuleot mu nga ac wi kowos pacl nukewa. Nga srakna wi kowos, ouinge nimet kowos sangeng.

The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.

6 “Ac tia paht, nga ac osrokak kusrao ac faclu, finmes ac meoa.

For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.

7 Nga ac fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa, ac ma saok lalos ac fah utukeni nu in acn se inge, ac Tempul ac fah sessesla ke mwe kasrup.

And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.

8 Silver ac gold nukewa fin faclu ma luk.

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.

9 Tempul sasu se inge ac fah arulana oasku liki Tempul se meet ah, ac in Tempul se inge pa nga fah sang kasrup ac misla nu sin mwet luk we.” LEUM GOD Kulana pa kaskas inge.

Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

10 In len se aklongoul akosr ke malem se akeu in yac se akluo in pacl Darius el tokosra fulat, LEUM GOD Kulana El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Haggai, mwet palu.

In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:

11 El fahk, “Siyuk sin mwet tol elos in orala sie oakwuk nu ke mwe siyuk se inge:

Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:

12 Mwet se fin eis sie ipin ikwa mutal liki ma kisakinyuk ac nokmani nu in pulun nuknuk loeloes lal, na el fin lela nuknuk se lal uh in pusralla kutena bread, ku mongo molla, ku wain, ku oil in olive, ku kutena kain in mwe mongo, ya nuknuk sac ac akmutalyela pac mongo ingan?” Ke mwe siyuk se inge touyak ah, mwet tol uh topuk ac fahk mu, “Mo.”

If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.

13 Na Haggai el siyuk, “Ac fin mwet se fohkfokla ke sripen el pusralla sie mano misa, ac el fin pusralla mongo inge, ya mongo ingan ac fohkfokla pac?” Mwet tol uh topuk, “Aok.”

And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.

14 Na Haggai el fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu kain oakwuk se na ingan ac orekmakinyuk nu sin mwet ke mutunfacl se inge ac oayapa nu ke ma nukewa elos orala ke paolos. Ke ma inge, ma nukewa elos kisakin fin loang uh ac fohkfok.”

And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.

15 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ku kowos tiana akilen ma sikyak nu suwos uh? Meet liki kowos tuh mutawauk in sifil musai Tempul,

And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.

16 kowos ac som nu ke yol in wheat uh ac finsrak mu kowos ac konauk bushel longoul kac, a kowos eis bushel na singoul. Kowos ac som in uti gallon lumngaul ke tacng in wain, a kowos konauk gallon longoul na.

When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.

17 Nga supwaot eng na fol ac af yohk kosra in kunausla ma nukewa kowos srike in akkapye, a kowos tia pacna auliyak.

I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.

18 Misenge pa len se aklongoul akosr ke malem se akeu — len se inge pa pwelung lun Tempul uh tuh aksafyeyukla ah. Liye ma ac sikyak ingela.

Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.

19 Finne wangin wheat lula, ac oa in grape, sak fig, sak pomegranate, ac sak olive soenna fokla, a nga ac akinsewowoye kowos inge fahla.”

Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.

20 In len sacna, len aklongoul akosr in malem sac, kas se akluo sin LEUM GOD tuku nu sel Haggai,

And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:

21 su ma nu sel Zerubbabel, governor lun Judah, fahkang: “Nga akola in osrokak kusrao ac faclu,

Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.

22 ac kunausla tokosrai ac aksafyela ku lalos. Nga fah lungasla chariot ac mwet us chariot uh. Horse uh fah misa, ac mwet muta fac ac fah forani aacnwuki.

And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

23 In len sac nga fah eis kom, Zerubbabel mwet kulansap luk, ac nga fah srisrngikomi in kol ke Inek. Kom pa mwet se nga sulela.” LEUM GOD Kulana pa kaskas inge.

In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
