Hakeai 1

1In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest:

1‌ʻI 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,

2“Thus says the LORD of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.”

2‌ʻOku 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.”

3Then the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet,

3Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē.

4“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?

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?

5Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.

5Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

6You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

6Kuo 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.

7“Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.

7“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

8Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD.

8‌ʻAlu 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.

9You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.

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.

10Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.

10Ko ia kuo taʻofi ai ʻae langi ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kimoutolu mei he hahau, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae fonua mei hono fua.

11And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.”

11Pea 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.

12Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD.

12Pea 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.

13Then Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, spoke to the people with the LORD’s message, “I am with you, declares the LORD.”

13Pea 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.”

14And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

14Pea 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,

15on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

15‌ʻI hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e tuʻi.
