Haggai 2

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,

I te whitu o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma tahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti; i ki ia,

Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,

Tena, korero ki a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, kawana o Hura, raua ko te tino tohunga, ko Hohua tama a Iohereke, ki nga morehu ano o te iwi, mea atu,

Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

Ko wai te morehu i roto i a koutou i kite i tenei whare i tona kororia o mua? e pehea ana hoki ki ta koutou titiro inaianei? ehara ranei ki o koutou na kanohi he kahore noa iho?

Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

Na kia kaha aianei, e Herupapera, e ai ta Ihowa; kia kaha, e te tino tohunga, e Hohua tama a Iohereke; kia kaha hoki, e te iwi katoa o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa, e mahi; ko ahau hoki hei hoa mo koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

Ka rite ki te kupu i whakaritea e ahau ki a koutou i to koutou haerenga mai i Ihipa; a i tu toku wairua i roto i a koutou; kaua e wehi.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Kia kotahi ake ano, he wahi iti nei, a ka whakangaueuetia e ahau te rangi me te whenua, te moana me te wahi maroke.

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

A ka whakangaueuetia e ahau nga iwi katoa. Na ka haere mai nga mea ahuareka o nga iwi katoa; a ka whakakiia e ahau tenei whare ki te kororia, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

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

Naku te hiriwa, naku hoki te koura, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Tera te kororia o tenei whare o muri nei ka nui atu i to tera i mua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano: ka hoatu ano e ahau te rongo mau i tenei wahi, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

I te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te iwa o nga marama, i te rua o nga tau o Tariuha, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa, he mea na Hakai poropiti, i mea ia,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tena ra uia te ture ki nga tohunga, mea atu,

If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

Ki te maua e tetahi tangata he kikokiko tapu i te pito o tona kakahu, a ka pa taua pito ona ki tetahi taro, ki tetahi mea ranei e kohuatia ana, ki te waina, ki te hinu, ki tetahi kai ranei, a tapu ranei? Na ka whakahoki nga tohunga ka mea, Kahor e.

Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

Ano ra ko Hakai, Ki te pa te tangata i poke i te tupapaku ki tetahi o enei, e poke ranei? Na ka whakahoki nga tohunga, ka mea, E poke ano.

Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

Na ka oho a Hakai, ka mea, He pena ano enei tangata, he pena ano te iwi i toku aroaro nei, e ai ta Ihowa, he pena ano nga mahi katoa a o ratou ringa; ko nga mea katoa e whakaherea ana e ratou ki reira, he poke.

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:

Na, tena ra, whakaaroa aianei i tenei ra, i era atu hoki, i te mea kahore ano i takoto tetahi kohatu ki runga ki tetahi kohatu i te temepara o Ihowa:

Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

I taua wa puta noa, ki te tae tetahi tangata ki tetahi puranga e rua tekau nei ona mehua, na kotahi tonu tekau; ki te haere ki te poka waina ki te utu mai i etahi oko e rima tekau, na e rua tonu tekau.

I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

I patua koutou e ahau, nga mahi katoa a o koutou ringa ki te ngingio, ki te koriri, ki te whatu, a kihai koutou i tahuri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it.

Whakaaroa tenei ra me era atu ano, o te rua tekau ma wha o te iwa o nga marama, o te ra i whakatakotoria ai te turanga o te temepara o Ihowa, whakaaroa.

Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

Kei te whare witi ano ranei te purapura? ina, kahore ano te waina, te piki, te pamekaranete, te oriwa, kia hua noa; ka timata i tenei ra taku manaaki i a koutou.

And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,

I tuaruatia ano te puta mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hakai i te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama; i mea ia,

Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

Korero ki a Herupapera kawana o Hura, mea atu, Ka whakangaueuetia e ahau te rangi me te whenua:

And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

Ka hurihia ake ano e ahau te torona o nga kingitanga, ka ngaro i ahau te kaha o nga kingitanga o nga tauiwi; ka hurihia ake e ahau nga hariata, me ona kaieke; ka riro iho ano nga hoiho me o ratou kaieke, tenei, tenei, i te hoari a tona tuakana.

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.

I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka mau ahau ki a koe, e taku pononga, e Herupapera tama a Haratiera, e ai ta Ihowa, ka mea i a koe hei hiri: he mea whiriwhiri hoki koe naku, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
