Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
I te rua o nga tau o Kingi Tariuha, i te ono o nga marama, i te ra tuatahi o te marama ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti, ki a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, kawana o Hura, raua ko te tino tohunga, ko Hohua tama a Iohereke; i me a ia.
2 These are the words of the Lord of armies: These people say, The time has not come for building the Lord's house.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, e mea ana ia, Ki ta tenei iwi, Kahore ano kia taea noatia te wa, te wa e hanga ai to Ihowa whare.
3 Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti; i ki ia,
4 Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?
Ko ta koutou wa ianei tenei, e mea ma, e noho ai i o koutou whare kua oti nei to roto hipoki, i te mea he ururua tenei whare?
5 For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.
Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
6 Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.
He nui ta koutou i whakato ai, he iti ta koutou i mau mai ai; e kai ana, heoi kahore e makona; e inu ana, te ngata i te wai; e kakahu ana i o koutou, te mahana tetahi; e riro ana i te kaimahi te moni mo tana mahi, a whaowhina ana e ia ki roto ki te putea koputaputa.
7 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Give thought to your ways.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
8 Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.
Pikitia te maunga, maua mai he rakau, hanga hoki te whare; a ka manako ahau ki reira, ka whai kororia ano ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
9 You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.
I tumanako hoki koutou kia maha, nana, he iti noa; ta koutou kawenga mai ki te whare, na kua puhipuhia e ahau. Mo te aha? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano. Mo toku whare e ururua nei, kei te rere ia koutou ki tona whare, ki tona whare.
10 For this cause the heaven over you is kept from giving dew, and the earth from giving her fruit.
Na reira i kaiponuhia ai te tomairangi o te rangi, he mea ki a koutou; na reira ano i kaiponuhia ai nga hua o te whenua.
11 And by my order no rain came on the land or on the mountains or the grain or the wine or the oil or the produce of the earth or on men or cattle or on any work of man's hands.
A karangatia ana e ahau he tauraki ki runga ki te whenua, ki nga maunga, ki te witi, ki te waina hou, ki te hinu, ki nga mea e puta mai ana i te whenua, ki te tangata, ki te kararehe, ki nga mahi katoa a nga ringa.
12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.
Na ka rongo a Herupapera te tama a Haratiera raua ko te tino tohunga, ko Hohua tama a Iohereke, me nga morehu katoa o te iwi ki te reo o Ihowa, o to ratou Atua, ki nga kupu a Hakai poropiti, mo nga mea i unga mai ai ia e Ihowa, e to ratou Atua, na ka wehi te iwi i te aroaro o Ihowa.
13 Then Haggai, whom the Lord had sent to give his words to the people, said, I am with you, says the Lord.
Katahi a Hakai, te karere a Ihowa, i a ia nei nga kupu a Ihowa, ka korero ki te iwi, ka mea, Ko ahau hei hoa mo koutou, e ai ta Ihowa.
14 And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.
Na ka whakaohokia e Ihowa te wairua o Herupapera tama a Haratiera, o te kawana o Hura, me te wairua o te tino tohunga, o Hohua tama a Iohereke, me te wairua o nga morehu katoa o te iwi, a ka haere mai ratou, ka mahi i te mahi o te whare o Ihowa o nga mano, o to ratou Atua,
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
I te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te ono o nga marama, i te rua o nga tau o Kingi Tariuha.
