Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor 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 "This is what YHWH of hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for YHWH's house 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 Then the word of YHWH 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 yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies 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 Now therefore this is what YHWH of hosts says: Consider your ways.
Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."
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 YHWH of hosts says: "Consider your ways.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Whakaaroa o koutou ara.
8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says 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 "You looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says YHWH of hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with 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 for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its 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 I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, on the oil, and on all what the ground produces, and on men, and on livestock, and on all the 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 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of YHWH, their God, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as YHWH, their God, had sent him; and the people feared 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 Then Haggai, YHWH's messenger, spoke YHWH's message to the people, saying, "I am with you," says 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 YHWH stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on 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 month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh 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.
