Hakeai 1
1 ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e tuʻi, ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻia Hakeai ko e palōfita, kia Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, ko e pule ʻo Siuta, pea kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē,
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 ʻOku folofola ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻo pehē, “ʻOku lea, ʻe he kakai ni, ʻoku teʻeki ke hoko ʻae kuonga, ʻae kuonga ke langa ai ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.”
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 Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē.
And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 “Ko e kuonga koā eni kiate kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai, ke nonofo ʻi homou ngaahi fale kuo ʻaofi, ka e tuku siʻaki ʻae fale ni?
Is it time for you — you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?
5 Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your ways.
6 Kuo lahi hoʻomou tūtuuʻi, kae siʻi ʻae utu; ʻoku mou kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou mākona; ʻoku mou inu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou fiu ʻi he inu; ʻoku mou fakakofuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku māfana; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu totongi, ʻoku maʻu totongi ke ne ʻai ia ki he kato ava.
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 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways.
8 ʻAlu hake ki he moʻunga, pea ʻomi ʻae ʻakau, pea langa ʻae fale; pea te u fiemālie ki ai, pea ʻe fakaongolelei au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
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 “Naʻa mou sio ki ha meʻa lahi, pea vakai ʻoku siʻi; pea ʻi hoʻomou ʻomi ia ki ʻapi, naʻaku ifi ki ai.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e hā? Koeʻuhi ko hoku fale ʻaia kuo lala, pea ʻoku mou lele taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona.
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 Ko ia kuo taʻofi ai ʻae langi ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kimoutolu mei he hahau, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae fonua mei hono fua.
Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.
11 Pea naʻaku ui ʻae laʻāina ki he fonua, pea ki he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he uite, pea ki he uaine foʻou, pea ki he lolo, pea ki he meʻa ʻaia ʻoku tupu hake mei he kelekele, pea ki he kakai, pea ki he fanga manu, pea ki he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe nima.
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 Pea ko Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e toenga kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, naʻe talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ko honau ʻOtua, mo e ngaahi lea ʻa Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fekauʻi ai ia ʻe Sihova, ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
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 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Hakeai ko e talafekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: 'I [am] with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
14 Pea naʻe ueʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, ko e pule ʻo Siuta, mo e laumālie ʻo Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi mo e laumālie he toenga kotoa pē ʻoe kakai; pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko honau ʻOtua,
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 ʻI hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e tuʻi.
in the twenty and fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
