< Hagai 2 >

1 I KA la iwakaluakumamakahi o ka malama ahiku, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai.
2 E olelo aku oe ia Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, ke kiaaina o Iuda, a ia Iosua ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui, a i ke koena o kanaka, i ka i ana aku,
Say to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remaining people,
3 Owai o oukou e koe, nana i ike i kela luakini me kona nani mua? pehea oukou i ike ai i keia, ano, aole anei ia ma ko oukou maka me he mea ole la?
Is there anyone left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it seem like nothing to you?
4 Aka, i nui hoi ka ikaika ou, e Zerubabela, wahi a Iehova; i nui hoi ka ikaika ou, e Iosua, e ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui; i nui hoi ka ikaika o oukou, e na kanaka a pau o ka aina nei, a e hana hoi, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, me oukou pu hoi au, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
So then be strong, Zerubbabel! Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, high priest! Be strong, all you people who remain in the land! Work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty.
5 E like me ka berita a'u i hoopaa aku ai me oukou, ia oukou i puka ai mai Aigupita mai, pela hoi e noho ai kuu Uhane iwaena o oukou; mai makau oukou.
Just as I promised you when you left Egypt, my Spirit continues to be among you. Don't be afraid!
6 No ka mea, penei ka i ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua; I kekahi manawa aku, he liuliu iki ia, a e hoonaue au i ka lani a me ka honua, i ke kai a me ka aina maloo;
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Soon I will shake the heavens and the earth once more, and the sea and the dry land.
7 A e hoonaue hoi au i na lahuikanaka a pau, a e hele mai auanei ka mea i makemakeia e na lahuikanaka a pau, a e hoopiha auanei au i keia hale i ka nani, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
I will shake all the nations, and the one desired by all of the nations will come and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty.
8 No'u no ke kala, no'u hoi ke gula, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord Almighty.
9 E oi auanei ka nani o keia hale hope imua o ko ka mua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; a ma keia wahi hoi e haawi aku no wau i ka maluhia, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
The glory of this second house will be greater than the first, says the Lord Almighty, and I will bring peace in this place. So declares the Lord Almighty.
10 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka iwa o ka malama, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Dariu, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of the reign of king Darius, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai.
11 Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, E ninau aku oe i na kahuna no ke kanawai, penei,
“This is what the Lord Almighty says: Ask the priests about the law.
12 Ina e lawelawe kekahi i ka io laa ma ke kihi o kona aahu, a hoopa aku kona kihi i ka berena, i ka io hoolapalapa paha, a i ka waina, a i ka aila paha, a i kekahi mea ai e ae, e laa no anei ia? Hoole mai la na kahuna, i mai la, Aole.
If someone carries some meat from a holy sacrifice in a fold of their clothes and that fold touches some bread or stew or wine or olive oil or any other kind of food, does that food become holy?” And the priests answered, “No.”
13 Alaila i aku la o Hagai, Ina i haumia kekahi i ke kupapau, a hoopa aku ia i kekahi o keia mau mea, e haumia anei ia mea? Pane mai la na kahuna, i mai la, E haumia no.
Then Haggai asked, “If someone becomes unclean by touching a dead body and then touches any of these foods, do they become unclean?” The priests answered, “Yes, it does become unclean.”
14 Olelo aku la o Hagai, i aku la, Pela no keia poe kanaka, a pela keia lahuikanaka imua o'u, wahi a Iehova: a pela hoi ka hana a pau a ko lakou lima; a o ka mea a lakou e mohai mai ai ilaila, he haumia ia.
Then Haggai responded, “This is how it is with these people, and with the nation before me, says the Lord. All that they do, every offering they bring, is unclean.”
15 Nolaila hoi, e noonoo pono oukou mai keia la e noho nei a hiki i ka wa mamua, i ka wa i kau ole ia'i ka pohaku maluna o kekahi pohaku ma ka luakini o Iehova.
Now think about what you're doing from this day on. Before a stone was laid on another stone in the house of the Lord,
16 Mai ia manawa, ina hele aku kekahi i ka puu hua ai he iwakalua na ana ona, a loaa he umi; a i hele aku hoi kekahi i kahi kaomi waina e hookahe ai i na ana he kanalima mailoko mai o ke kaomi waina, a loaa iho he iwakalua wale no.
how was it for you? You expected a store of grain with twenty measures but only found ten. You thought you could empty out fifty measures from the winepress but there was only twenty.
17 Hahau aku la au ia oukou i ka maloo a me ka popo, a me ka huahekili ma na hana a pau a ko oukou mau lima; aka, aole o oukou i huli mai i o'u nei, wahi a Iehova.
I struck with blight and mildew and hail everything you were working so hard for, but even so you refused to come back to me, says the Lord.
18 E noonoo oukou mai keia la e noho nei a mamua aku, mai ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka malama aiwa, a hiki i kela la i hookumuia'i ka luakini o Iehova; e noonoo oukou.
Think about what you're doing from this day on, today the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month when a foundation was laid for the house of the Lord. Think about it:
19 Ua koe anei ka hua ai iloko ka halepapaa? Eia hoi, aole ka waina, a me ka fiku, a me ka pomegerane, a me ka laau oliva i hua mai i ka hua: mai keia la aku nae, e hoomaikai aku no wau ia oukou.
the seed is still in the barn. The vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate tree, and the olive tree have not yet given fruit. But from this day on I will bless you.
20 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Hagai i ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ua malama la, i ka i ana mai,
The Lord sent another message through the prophet Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
21 E i aku oe ia Zerubabela ke kiaaina o Iuda, penei, E hoonaue ana au i ka lani a me ka honua;
Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.
22 A e hookahuli au i ka nohoalii o na aupuni, a e hoolilo au i ka ikaika o na aupuni kanaka e i mea ole; e hookahuli hoi au i na halekaa a me ka poe holo maloko; a e haule iho auanei na lio a me na hoohololio, o kela mea keia mea o lakou, i ka pahikaua a kona hoahanau.
I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the nations' kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots and their riders. The horses and riders will fall, and the men will kill each other by the sword.
23 Ia la hoi, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, e lawe au ia oe, e Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, o ka'u kauwa, wahi a Iehova, a e hoolike au ia oe me ke komolima hoopili wepa; no ka mea, ua koho au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
On that day, says the Lord, I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, and make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you. So declares the Lord Almighty.
