< Hakai 2 >
1 I te whitu o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma tahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti; i ki ia,
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 Tena, korero ki a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, kawana o Hura, raua ko te tino tohunga, ko Hohua tama a Iohereke, ki nga morehu ano o te iwi, mea atu,
"Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
3 Ko wai te morehu i roto i a koutou i kite i tenei whare i tona kororia o mua? e pehea ana hoki ki ta koutou titiro inaianei? ehara ranei ki o koutou na kanohi he kahore noa iho?
'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn't it in your eyes as nothing?
4 Na kia kaha aianei, e Herupapera, e ai ta Ihowa; kia kaha, e te tino tohunga, e Hohua tama a Iohereke; kia kaha hoki, e te iwi katoa o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa, e mahi; ko ahau hoki hei hoa mo koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says YHWH. 'Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' says YHWH, 'and work, for I am with you,' says YHWH of hosts.
5 Ka rite ki te kupu i whakaritea e ahau ki a koutou i to koutou haerenga mai i Ihipa; a i tu toku wairua i roto i a koutou; kaua e wehi.
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. 'Do not be afraid.'
6 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Kia kotahi ake ano, he wahi iti nei, a ka whakangaueuetia e ahau te rangi me te whenua, te moana me te wahi maroke.
For this is what YHWH of hosts says: 'Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;
7 A ka whakangaueuetia e ahau nga iwi katoa. Na ka haere mai nga mea ahuareka o nga iwi katoa; a ka whakakiia e ahau tenei whare ki te kororia, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
and I will shake all nations, and they will come with the treasures of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says YHWH of hosts.
8 Naku te hiriwa, naku hoki te koura, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,' says YHWH of hosts.
9 Tera te kororia o tenei whare o muri nei ka nui atu i to tera i mua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano: ka hoatu ano e ahau te rongo mau i tenei wahi, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says YHWH of hosts; 'and in this place will I give peace,' says YHWH of hosts."
10 I te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te iwa o nga marama, i te rua o nga tau o Tariuha, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti, i mea ia,
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tena ra uia te ture ki nga tohunga, mea atu,
"Thus says YHWH of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 Ki te maua e tetahi tangata he kikokiko tapu i te pito o tona kakahu, a ka pa taua pito ona ki tetahi taro, ki tetahi mea ranei e kohuatia ana, ki te waina, ki te hinu, ki tetahi kai ranei, a tapu ranei? Na ka whakahoki nga tohunga ka mea, Kahor e.
'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."
13 Ano ra ko Hakai, Ki te pa te tangata i poke i te tupapaku ki tetahi o enei, e poke ranei? Na ka whakahoki nga tohunga, ka mea, E poke ano.
Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The priests answered, "It will be unclean."
14 Na ka oho a Hakai, ka mea, He pena ano enei tangata, he pena ano te iwi i toku aroaro nei, e ai ta Ihowa, he pena ano nga mahi katoa a o ratou ringa; ko nga mea katoa e whakaherea ana e ratou ki reira, he poke.
Then Haggai answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says YHWH; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
15 Na, tena ra, whakaaroa aianei i tenei ra, i era atu hoki, i te mea kahore ano i takoto tetahi kohatu ki runga ki tetahi kohatu i te temepara o Ihowa:
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of YHWH.
16 I taua wa puta noa, ki te tae tetahi tangata ki tetahi puranga e rua tekau nei ona mehua, na kotahi tonu tekau; ki te haere ki te poka waina ki te utu mai i etahi oko e rima tekau, na e rua tonu tekau.
Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
17 I patua koutou e ahau, nga mahi katoa a o koutou ringa ki te ngingio, ki te koriri, ki te whatu, a kihai koutou i tahuri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me,' says YHWH.
18 Whakaaroa tenei ra me era atu ano, o te rua tekau ma wha o te iwa o nga marama, o te ra i whakatakotoria ai te turanga o te temepara o Ihowa, whakaaroa.
'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of YHWH's temple was laid, consider it.
19 Kei te whare witi ano ranei te purapura? ina, kahore ano te waina, te piki, te pamekaranete, te oriwa, kia hua noa; ka timata i tenei ra taku manaaki i a koutou.
Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven't brought forth. From this day will I bless you.'"
20 I tuaruatia ano te puta mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hakai i te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama; i mea ia,
The word of YHWH came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 Korero ki a Herupapera kawana o Hura, mea atu, Ka whakangaueuetia e ahau te rangi me te whenua:
"Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.
22 Ka hurihia ake ano e ahau te torona o nga kingitanga, ka ngaro i ahau te kaha o nga kingitanga o nga tauiwi; ka hurihia ake e ahau nga hariata, me ona kaieke; ka riro iho ano nga hoiho me o ratou kaieke, tenei, tenei, i te hoari a tona tuakana.
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
23 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka mau ahau ki a koe, e taku pononga, e Herupapera tama a Haratiera, e ai ta Ihowa, ka mea i a koe hei hiri: he mea whiriwhiri hoki koe naku, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
In that day, says YHWH of hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says YHWH, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says YHWH of hosts."
