1 I n the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, 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,

2 “ 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,

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,

3 ‘ 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?

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?

4 Y et now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says Yahweh. ‘Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says Yahweh, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

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.

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

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.

6 F or this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, 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.

7 a nd I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.

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.

8 T he silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

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

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

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.

10 I n the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came 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,

11 “ Yahweh of Armies says: 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,

12 ‘ 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.”

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.

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

14 T hen Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says Yahweh; ‘and so is every work of their hands. 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.

15 N ow, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.

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:

16 T hrough 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.

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.

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

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.

18 ‘ Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’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.

19 I s 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.’”

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.

20 Y ahweh’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth 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,

21 “ 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:

22 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.

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.

23 I n that day, says Yahweh of Armies, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says Yahweh, ‘and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”

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.
