< 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,
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
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,
Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto the remnant of the people, saying: —
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?
Who is there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
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.
Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
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.
The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
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;
For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking the heavens and the earth, 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.
And I will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
8 No'u no ke kala, no'u hoi ke gula, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
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.
Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
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 of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
11 Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, E ninau aku oe i na kahuna no ke kanawai, penei,
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:
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 a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, 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 said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
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 answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever they offer there, is, defiled.
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, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
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.
So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be 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 smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
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.
Is the seed yet in the store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I 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,
Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
21 E i aku oe ia Zerubabela ke kiaaina o Iuda, penei, E hoonaue ana au i ka lani a me ka honua;
Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, 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.
And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man by the sword of his brother.
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, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
