2:5 My Spirit remains among you: See Exod 29:46; Isa 63:11; Ezek 36:26-27.
• just as I promised (literally the word I cut with you): The phrase “cut a covenant” is the Hebrew idiom for making a covenant (see Gen 15:18; Exod 34:27). Haggai’s phrase, “cut a word,” is unique in the Old Testament, using language that purposefully creates a connection between his prophecy and God’s covenant relationship with his people. By making this connection, Haggai underscored the continuity of God’s actions in rescuing his people, first from Egypt and then from Babylon (see Ezek 20:33-38).

If you have decided to translate this oracle so that it does not contain quotations within a quotation, you can translate this verse as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “Tell them that this is the word that I covenanted with them when they came out of Egypt, and my Spirit remains in their midst, so they should not fear”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אֶֽת־הַדָּבָ֞ר אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַ֤תִּי אִתְּכֶם֙
DOM the,promise which/who made with,you_all
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “This is the word that I covenanted with you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶֽת־הַדָּבָ֞ר אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַ֤תִּי אִתְּכֶם֙
DOM the,promise which/who made with,you_all
Yahweh is using the term word to mean what he said to the Israelites by using words when he made a covenant with them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “This is the covenant promise that I made to you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶֽת־הַדָּבָ֞ר אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַ֤תִּי אִתְּכֶם֙ בְּצֵאתְכֶ֣ם מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם
DOM the,promise which/who made with,you_all in/on/at/with,came_out,you_all from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt)
By The word that I covenanted with you, Yahweh is referring to what he has just said, “I am with you.” Yahweh made this promise to the Israelites when they came out of Egypt. See, for example, Exodus 29:45–46, “And I will live among the sons of Israel and will be their God. And they will know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt to live among them.” You could indicate this in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “This is the covenant promise that I made to you when you came out of Egypt, that I would be with you”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְרוּחִ֖י עֹמֶ֣דֶת בְּתוֹכְכֶ֑ם
and,Spirit,my remains in/on/at/with,midst,you_all
With this statement, Yahweh is asserting that he is indeed fulfilling his covenant promise to be with the Israelites. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and indeed I am present in your midst through my Spirit, just as I promised”
