Hagai 2

1 I KA la iwakaluakumamakahi o ka malama ahiku, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,

In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

2 E olelo aku oe ia Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, ke kiaaina o Iuda, a ia Iosua ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui, a i ke koena o kanaka, i ka i ana aku,

“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 Owai o oukou e koe, nana i ike i kela luakini me kona nani mua? pehea oukou i ike ai i keia, ano, aole anei ia ma ko oukou maka me he mea ole la?

‘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 Aka, i nui hoi ka ikaika ou, e Zerubabela, wahi a Iehova; i nui hoi ka ikaika ou, e Iosua, e ke keiki a Iosedeka, ke kahuna nui; i nui hoi ka ikaika o oukou, e na kanaka a pau o ka aina nei, a e hana hoi, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, me oukou pu hoi au, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Hosts.

5 E like me ka berita a'u i hoopaa aku ai me oukou, ia oukou i puka ai mai Aigupita mai, pela hoi e noho ai kuu Uhane iwaena o oukou; mai makau oukou.

This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’

6 No ka mea, penei ka i ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua; I kekahi manawa aku, he liuliu iki ia, a e hoonaue au i ka lani a me ka honua, i ke kai a me ka aina maloo;

For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;

7 A e hoonaue hoi au i na lahuikanaka a pau, a e hele mai auanei ka mea i makemakeia e na lahuikanaka a pau, a e hoopiha auanei au i keia hale i ka nani, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

and I will shake all nations. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.

8 No'u no ke kala, no'u hoi ke gula, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Hosts.

9 E oi auanei ka nani o keia hale hope imua o ko ka mua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; a ma keia wahi hoi e haawi aku no wau i ka maluhia, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Hosts; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”

10 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka iwa o ka malama, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Dariu, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ma o Hagai la ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,

In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

11 Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, E ninau aku oe i na kahuna no ke kanawai, penei,

“The LORD of Hosts says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

12 Ina e lawelawe kekahi i ka io laa ma ke kihi o kona aahu, a hoopa aku kona kihi i ka berena, i ka io hoolapalapa paha, a i ka waina, a i ka aila paha, a i kekahi mea ai e ae, e laa no anei ia? Hoole mai la na kahuna, i mai la, Aole.

‘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 Alaila i aku la o Hagai, Ina i haumia kekahi i ke kupapau, a hoopa aku ia i kekahi o keia mau mea, e haumia anei ia mea? Pane mai la na kahuna, i mai la, E haumia no.

Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”

14 Olelo aku la o Hagai, i aku la, Pela no keia poe kanaka, a pela keia lahuikanaka imua o'u, wahi a Iehova: a pela hoi ka hana a pau a ko lakou lima; a o ka mea a lakou e mohai mai ai ilaila, he haumia ia.

Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD; ‘and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.

15 Nolaila hoi, e noonoo pono oukou mai keia la e noho nei a hiki i ka wa mamua, i ka wa i kau ole ia'i ka pohaku maluna o kekahi pohaku ma ka luakini o Iehova.

Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.

16 Mai ia manawa, ina hele aku kekahi i ka puu hua ai he iwakalua na ana ona, a loaa he umi; a i hele aku hoi kekahi i kahi kaomi waina e hookahe ai i na ana he kanalima mailoko mai o ke kaomi waina, a loaa iho he iwakalua wale no.

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 Hahau aku la au ia oukou i ka maloo a me ka popo, a me ka huahekili ma na hana a pau a ko oukou mau lima; aka, aole o oukou i huli mai i o'u nei, wahi a Iehova.

I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says the LORD.

18 E noonoo oukou mai keia la e noho nei a mamua aku, mai ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka malama aiwa, a hiki i kela la i hookumuia'i ka luakini o Iehova; e noonoo oukou.

‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider it.

19 Ua koe anei ka hua ai iloko ka halepapaa? Eia hoi, aole ka waina, a me ka fiku, a me ka pomegerane, a me ka laau oliva i hua mai i ka hua: mai keia la aku nae, e hoomaikai aku no wau ia oukou.

Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”

20 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Hagai i ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ua malama la, i ka i ana mai,

The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

21 E i aku oe ia Zerubabela ke kiaaina o Iuda, penei, E hoonaue ana au i ka lani a me ka honua;

“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth.

22 A e hookahuli au i ka nohoalii o na aupuni, a e hoolilo au i ka ikaika o na aupuni kanaka e i mea ole; e hookahuli hoi au i na halekaa a me ka poe holo maloko; a e haule iho auanei na lio a me na hoohololio, o kela mea keia mea o lakou, i ka pahikaua a kona hoahanau.

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 Ia la hoi, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, e lawe au ia oe, e Zerubabela ke keiki a Saletiela, o ka'u kauwa, wahi a Iehova, a e hoolike au ia oe me ke komolima hoopili wepa; no ka mea, ua koho au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

In that day, says the LORD of Hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”
