< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second yeere of King Darius, in the sixt moneth, the first day of the moneth, came ye worde of the Lord (by the ministery of the Prophet Haggai) vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, a prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, saying,
‌ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e tuʻi, ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻia Hakeai ko e palōfita, kia Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, ko e pule ʻo Siuta, pea kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, This people say, The time is not yet come, that the Lords House should be builded.
‌ʻOku folofola ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻo pehē, “ʻOku lea, ʻe he kakai ni, ʻoku teʻeki ke hoko ʻae kuonga, ʻae kuonga ke langa ai ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.”
3 Then came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē.
4 Is it time for your selues to dwell in your sieled houses, and this House lie waste?
“Ko e kuonga koā eni kiate kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai, ke nonofo ʻi homou ngaahi fale kuo ʻaofi, ka e tuku siʻaki ʻae fale ni?
5 Now therefore thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
6 Ye haue sowen much, and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye clothe you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge.
Kuo lahi hoʻomou tūtuuʻi, kae siʻi ʻae utu; ʻoku mou kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou mākona; ʻoku mou inu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou fiu ʻi he inu; ʻoku mou fakakofuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku māfana; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu totongi, ʻoku maʻu totongi ke ne ʻai ia ki he kato ava.
7 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
8 Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build this House, and I wil be fauourable in it, and I will be glorified, sayth the Lord.
‌ʻAlu hake ki he moʻunga, pea ʻomi ʻae ʻakau, pea langa ʻae fale; pea te u fiemālie ki ai, pea ʻe fakaongolelei au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
9 Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to litle: and when ye brought it home, I did blowe vpon it. And why, sayth the Lord of hostes? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye runne euery man vnto his owne house.
“Naʻa mou sio ki ha meʻa lahi, pea vakai ʻoku siʻi; pea ʻi hoʻomou ʻomi ia ki ʻapi, naʻaku ifi ki ai.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e hā? Koeʻuhi ko hoku fale ʻaia kuo lala, pea ʻoku mou lele taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona.
10 Therefore the heauen ouer you stayed it selfe from dewe, and the earth stayed her fruite.
Ko ia kuo taʻofi ai ʻae langi ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kimoutolu mei he hahau, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae fonua mei hono fua.
11 And I called for a drought vpon the land, and vpon the mountaines, and vpon the corne, and vpon the wine, and vpon the oyle, vpon all that the ground bringeth foorth: both vpon men and vpon cattell, and vpon all the labour of the hands.
Pea naʻaku ui ʻae laʻāina ki he fonua, pea ki he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he uite, pea ki he uaine foʻou, pea ki he lolo, pea ki he meʻa ʻaia ʻoku tupu hake mei he kelekele, pea ki he kakai, pea ki he fanga manu, pea ki he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe nima.
12 When Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest with all the remnant of the people, heard the voyce of the Lord their God, and the wordes of the Prophet Haggai (as the Lord their God had sent him) then the people did feare before the Lord.
Pea ko Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e toenga kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, naʻe talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ko honau ʻOtua, mo e ngaahi lea ʻa Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fekauʻi ai ia ʻe Sihova, ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
13 Then spake Haggai the Lords messenger in the Lords message vnto the people, saying, I am with you, sayth the Lord.
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Hakeai ko e talafekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
14 And the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Zerubbabel, the sonne of Shealtiel a prince of Iudah, and the spirit of Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came, and did the worke in the House of the Lord of hostes their God.
Pea naʻe ueʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, ko e pule ʻo Siuta, mo e laumālie ʻo Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi mo e laumālie he toenga kotoa pē ʻoe kakai; pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko honau ʻOtua,
15 In the foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of King Darius,
‌ʻI hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e tuʻi.
