< 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, in the first day of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, 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.
Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! — they have said, 'The time hath not come, The time the house of Jehovah [is] to be built.'
3 Nolaila, hiki mai ai ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la, o ke kaula, i ka i ana'e,
And there is a word of Jehovah 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 time for you — you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?
5 Nolaila hoi, eia ka Iehova ke Akua o na kaua e olelo nei; E noonoo oukou i ko oukou mau aoao.
And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to 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.
Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.
7 Eia ka Iehova ke Akua o na kaua i olelo mai nei; e noonoo oukou i ko oukou mau aoao.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to 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 the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said Jehovah.
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.
Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought [it] home, and I blew on it, Wherefore? — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running — each to his 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.
Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.
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.
And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labour of the 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.
And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah.
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.
And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: 'I [am] with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
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,
And Jehovah doth stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and do work in the house of Jehovah 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 and fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
