Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, 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 spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, This people—they have said, The time has not come, The time the house of YHWH [is] to be built.”
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 there is a word of YHWH 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 your covered houses, And this house to lie 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 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
6 You have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none has heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
8 Go up the mountain, and you have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honored,” said YHWH.
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 “Looking for much, and behold, little, And you brought [it] home, and I blew on it—why?” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “Because of My house that is desolate, And you are running—each to his 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, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
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 proclaim drought on the land, And on the mountains, and on the grain, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground brings forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labor of the 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 son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listen to the voice of their God YHWH, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as their God YHWH had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of YHWH.
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, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
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 YHWH stirs up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and work in the house of YHWH 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 in the twenty-fourth 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.
