Hagai 1
1 I KA lua o ka makahiki o Dariu ke alii, i ke ono o ka malama, i ka la mua o ua malama la, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la, o ke kaula, ia Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, ke kiaaina o Iuda, a ia Iosua ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui, i ka i ana ae,
In the second year of the reign of king Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
2 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, penei, i mai la; Ke i mai nei keia poe kanaka, Aole i hiki mai ka manawa, ka manawa e kapili ai i ka hale o Iehova.
The Lord Almighty says this: the people say, “This isn't the proper time to rebuild the Lord's house.”
3 Nolaila, hiki mai ai ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la, o ke kaula, i ka i ana'e,
Then the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai, saying,
4 E oukou nei, o ka manawa anei keia no oukou e noho ai iloko o ko oukou mau hale papa kedera, a e neoneo ai hoi keia hale?
Is it the proper time for you to live in your paneled houses while this house remains a ruin?
5 Nolaila hoi, eia ka Iehova ke Akua o na kaua e olelo nei; E noonoo oukou i ko oukou mau aoao.
So the Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!
6 Ua lulu nui aku oukou, a he uuku ka mea a oukou i ohi ai; ua ai oukou, aole nae i maona; ua inu oukou, aole nae i kena ka makewai; ua aahu kapa oukou, aole no nae oukou i mehana; a o ka mea i hana e ukuia mai, ua hahaoia kana uku maloko o ke eke pukapuka.
You have sown much but harvested little. You eat but you're still hungry. You drink but you're still thirsty. You put on clothes but you're still cold. You work hard to earn money but put it in a bag full of holes.
7 Eia ka Iehova ke Akua o na kaua i olelo mai nei; e noonoo oukou i ko oukou mau aoao.
The Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!
8 E pii aku i ke kuahiwi a e lawe mai i laau, a e hana i ka hale a e oluolu au ia, a e hoomaikaiia auanei hoi au, wahi a Iehova.
Go into the hills and bring wood to build the house. This will please me and honor me, says the Lord.
9 Kuko aku la oukou i nui, aia hoi he uuku; lawe aku la oukou iloko o ka hale, a pupuhi aku la au ia. No ke aha? wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua. No kuu hale no i neoneo, a holo oukou kela mea keia mea i kona hale iho.
You were hoping for so much, but look, it turned out to be so little. Everything you brought home I blew away. And why was that? Because my house remains a ruin while you are preoccupied with building your own houses, declares the Lord Almighty.
10 Nolaila, ua paniia ka lani maluna o oukou, i haawi ole mai ai ia i ka hau, a ua pau ka hoohua mau ana o ka honua i kona hua.
That's why the clouds of heaven refused to send rain, and the earth refused to produce crops.
11 Ua kahea aku la au i manawa wi maluna o ka aina, a maluna o na mauna, a maluna o ka ai, a maluna o ka waina hou, a maluna o ka aila oliva, a maluna o na mea a pau a ka lepo e hua mai ai, a maluna o kanaka, maluna o na holoholona, a maluna o ka hana a pau a na lima.
I called for a drought on the land, on the hills, on the grain fields, on the vineyards, and on the olive groves—on whatever the earth produces—and on people and livestock, on everything you do!
12 Alaila, hoolohe ae la o Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, a o Iosua ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui, a me ke koena kanaka a pau, i ka leo o Iehova ko lakou Akua, a me ka olelo a Hagai ke haula, me ka Iehova o ko lakou Akua i hoouna mai ai ia ia, a makau ae la na kanaka ia Iehova.
Then Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, together with all the remaining people, paid attention to what the Lord said, and to the words of Haggai the prophet that the Lord their God had sent. The people showed reverence before the Lord.
13 Olelo aku la o Hagai o ka elele o Iehova, ma ka ke kauoha a Iehova i na kanaka, i ka i ana ae, Me oukou pu no wau, wahi a Iehova.
Then Haggai, the Lord's messenger, delivered this message from the Lord telling the people, I am with you! says the Lord.
14 A paipai mai la o Iehova i ka naau o Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, ke kiaaina o Iuda, a me ka naau o Iosua ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui, a me ka naau o ke koena kanaka a pau; a hele aku la lakou a hana iho la i ka hale o Iehova o na kaua, o ko lakou Akua,
The Lord inspired Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remaining people. They came and began work on the house of the Lord Almighty.
15 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka malama eono, i ka lua o ka makahiki o ke alii o Dariu.
This happened on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of the reign of king Darius.
