Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
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,
2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.
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.”
3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē.
4 [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house [lie] waste?
“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?
5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
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.
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; Fakakaukau ki homou ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
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.
9 Ye looked for much, and lo, [it came] to little; and when ye brought [it] home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that [is] waste, and ye run every man to his own house.
“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.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit.
Ko ia kuo taʻofi ai ʻae langi ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kimoutolu mei he hahau, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae fonua mei hono fua.
11 And I called for a drouth upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon [that] which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.
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.
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, 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 did fear before the LORD.
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.
13 Then spoke Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message to the people, saying, I [am] with you, saith the LORD.
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.”
14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and performed work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
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,
15 In the four and twentieth day of the same month, in the second year of Darius the king.
ʻI hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e tuʻi.
