Haggai 2

1 And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:

‌ʻI hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma taha ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita ko Hakeai, ʻo pehē,

2 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:

“Ke ke lea ni kia Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, ko e pule ʻo Siuta, pea kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea ki he toenga ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,

3 Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?

‘Ko hai ʻoku toe ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻe mamata ki he fale ni, ʻi hono ʻuluaki nāunau? Pea ʻoku fēfē ʻa hoʻomou mamata ki ai ni? ʻIkai ʻoku hangē ko e meʻa noa pe ia ʻi homou mata ʻi he fakatatau ki ai?

4 Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)

Ka ke mālohi ni, ʻE Selupepeli,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘pea ke mālohi, ʻE Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi; pea ke mou mālohi, ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea ngāue,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘He ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau;

5 The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.

‌ʻO hangē ko e folofola ʻaia naʻaku fefuakavaʻaki mo kimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou haʻu mei ʻIsipite, ko ia ʻe nofo ai ʻa hoku Laumālie ʻiate kimoutolu: ‘ʻOua te mou manavahē.’

6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ‘Ka ko e toe taha, ʻoku toetoe siʻi, pea te u lulululu ʻae ngaahi langi, mo māmani, mo e tahi, mo e fonua mōmoa;

7 And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.

Pea te u luluʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe hāʻele mai ʻae Holi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē: pea te u fakafonu ʻae fale ni ʻi he nāunau,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.

‌ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae siliva, ʻoku ʻaʻaku mo e koula, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

9 Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

‘ʻE lahi hake ʻae nāunau ʻoe fale kimui ni ʻi he ʻuluaki fale,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: ‘pea te u foaki ʻae melino ki he potu ni,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.”

10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:

“ʻI hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono hiva ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi, naʻe hoko ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hakeai ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē,

11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Fehuʻi ni ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehē,

12 If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.

‘Kapau ʻoku ʻave ʻe ha taha ha konga feilaulau māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono kapaʻi kofu, pea ʻoku ala ʻa hono kapa ki he mā, pe ki he peke, pe ki he uaine, pe ki he lolo, pe ki ha meʻakai, ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia?’” Pea naʻe tali ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai.”

13 And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Hakeai, “Ka ala ʻe ha taha ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻi ha pekia, ki ha taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia?” Pea naʻe tali ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻE taʻemaʻa ia.”

14 And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.

Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Hakeai, ʻo pehē, “‘ʻOku pehē ʻae kakai ni, pea ʻoku pehē mo e puleʻanga ni ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; pea ʻoku pehē ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa honau nima, pea ʻoku taʻemaʻa mo ia ʻaia ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻi hena.

15 And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.

Pea ko eni, ʻOku ou kole ke mou fakakaukau mei he ʻaho ni ʻo fai atu, ʻi he teʻeki ke fokotuʻu ha maka ki ha maka ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻo Sihova:

16 When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.

Talu ʻa e [ngaahi ʻaho ]ko ia, ʻi he ʻalu ha taha ki ha fokotuʻunga ʻoe [puha fua ]ʻe uofulu, naʻe ai ʻae hongofulu pe: ʻi he ʻalu ha taha ki he tataʻoʻanga ke ne fakatafe mei he tataʻoʻanga ki he [ngaahi ipu ]ʻe nimangofulu, naʻe ai ʻae uofulu pe.

17 I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.

Naʻaku taaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae fakamae, pea mo e tuʻungafulufulua, pea mo e ʻuha maka ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa homou nima; ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

18 Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.

‘Fakakaukau ni mei he ʻaho ni ʻo fai atu, mei hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono hiva ʻoe māhina, ʻio, mei he ʻaho naʻe ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe falelotu lahi ʻo Sihova, fakakaukau ki ai.

19 Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.

‌ʻOku kei ʻi he feleoko ʻae tenga? ʻIo, ʻoku teʻeki ai ke tupu ʻae fua ʻoe vaine mo e ʻakau ko e fiki, mo e pomikanite, mo e ʻakau ko e ʻolive: te u tāpuakiʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he ʻaho ni.’”

20 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:

Pea naʻe toe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Hakeai, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma fā ʻoe māhina, ʻo pehē,

21 Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.

“Fakahā kia Selupepeli, ko e pule ʻo Siuta,” ʻo pehē, ‘Te u luluʻi ʻae ngaahi langi mo māmani;

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

Pea te u fulihi ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga; pea te u maumauʻi ʻae mālohi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga hiteni; pea te u fulihi ʻae ngaahi meʻa teka, mo kinautolu ʻoku heka ai; pea ʻe hinga ki lalo ʻae fanga hoosi mo honau kau tangata heka, taki taha ʻi he heletā ʻa hono tokoua.

23 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻI he ʻaho ko ia, te u ʻave koe, ʻE Selupepeli, ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘pea te u ngaohi koe ke hangē ko e fakaʻilonga: he kuo u fili koe,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.”
