Haggai 1
1 In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Jesus 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 Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building 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 But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, 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 paneled houses, while this house is deserted?
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 says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
6 You sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with 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 says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
8 Ascend to the mountain, bring wood and build the house, and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, 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 have looked for more, and behold, it became less, and you brought it home, and I blew it away. What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts? It is because my house is desolate, yet you have hurried, each one to 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 Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew, and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
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 called a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the wheat, and over the wine, and over the oil, and whatever the soil would bring forth, and over men, and over beasts of burden, and over all the labor of 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of 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 Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord, spoke to the people, saying: the Lord says, “I am with you.”
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 the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the remainder of all the people. And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts 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 king Darius, they began.
I te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te ono o nga marama, i te rua o nga tau o Kingi Tariuha.
