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, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of 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, 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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, 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 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 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 Naku te hiriwa, naku hoki te koura, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh 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.
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 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,
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 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tena ra uia te ture ki nga tohunga, mea atu,
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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,
Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
21 Korero ki a Herupapera kawana o Hura, mea atu, Ka whakangaueuetia e ahau te rangi me te whenua:
Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, 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.
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 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.
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.
