Aggaeus 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, 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 Thus saith the Lord Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not come to build the house of the Lord.
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 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying,
Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti; i ki ia,
4 Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is desolate?
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 And now thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you.
Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
6 Ye have sown much, but brought in little; ye have eaten, and are not satisfied; ye have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, ye have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered [them] 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 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
8 Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith 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 Ye looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and ye run everyone into his own house;
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 therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce.
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 I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labours of their 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 And Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, 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 the words of the prophet Aggaeus, according as the Lord their God had sent him to them, and the people feared 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 And Aggaeus the Lord's messenger spoke among the messengers of the Lord to the people, [saying], I am with you, saith 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 Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people; and they went in, and wrought in the house of the Lord Almighty 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 four and twentieth [day] of 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.
