< 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 Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, saying,
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.
“Yahweh of hosts says this: These people say, 'It is not time for us to come or to build Yahweh'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 word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, 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 a time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses, while this house lies ruined?
5 Nolaila hoi, eia ka Iehova ke Akua o na kaua e olelo nei; E noonoo oukou i ko oukou mau aoao.
So now Yahweh of hosts says this: Consider your ways!
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 seed, but bring in little harvest; you eat but do not have enough; you drink but cannot get drunk. You wear clothes but cannot warm yourselves, and the wage earner earns money only to put it into 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.
Yahweh of hosts says this: “Consider your ways!
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 up to the mountain, bring timber, and build my house; then I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified!—says Yahweh.”
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 looked for much, but behold! you have brought little home, for I blew it away! Why?” declares Yahweh of hosts. “Because my house lies in ruins, while every one of you is working on his own house.
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.
Because of this the heavens withhold the dew from you, and the earth withholds its produce.
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 have summoned a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, upon the grain and upon the new wine, upon the oil and upon the harvest of the earth, upon men and upon beasts, and upon all the labor of your hands!”
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, and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, because Yahweh their God had sent him and the people feared the face of Yahweh.
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 messenger of Yahweh, spoke Yahweh's message to the people and said, “I am with you!—this is Yahweh's declaration!”
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,
So Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they went and worked on the house of Yahweh of hosts, their God
15 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka malama eono, i ka lua o ka makahiki o ke alii o Dariu.
in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
