1Later, the prophets Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.
1A LAILA o na kaula, o Hagai ke kaula, a o Zokaria ke keiki a Ido, wanana aku la laua i na Iudaio ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, ma ka inoa o ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia lakou.
2Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak rose up and began to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
2Ia manawa ku ae la o Zerubabela ke keiki a Sealetiela, a me Iesua, ke keiki a Iozadaka, a hoomaka aku e hana i ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a me laua pu na kaula o ke Akua e kokua ana ia laua.
3At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates went to the Jews and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?”
3A ia wa hoi, hele mai io lakou la o Tatenai, ke kiaaina o keia aoao o ka muliwai, a me Setare-bozenai, a me ko laua mau hoalawehana, a olelo mai ia lakou peneia, Nawni oukou i kauoha mai e hana i keia hale, a e hoopaa hoi i keia papohaku.
4They also asked, “What are the names of the men who are constructing this building?”
4Alaila ninau aku hoi makou ia lakou peneia, Owai ka inoa o na kanaka, nana e hana keia hale?
5But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, so that they were not stopped until a report was sent to Darius and written instructions about this matter were returned.
5Aka, o ka maka o ko lakou Akua, aia no ia maluna o ka poe lunakahiko o na Iudaio, aole lakou i hiki ke hooki aku ia lakou, a hiki ia mea io Dariu la; alaila hoouna aku la lakou i ka palapala no keia mea.
6This is the text of the letter that Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, the officials in the region, sent to King Darius.
6Eia ka palapala a Tatenai, ke kiaaina o keia aoao o ka muliwai, a o Setare-bozenai, a me kona poe hoalawehana, ka poe Aparesaka, ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, i hoouna aku ai ia Dariu ke alii:
7The report they sent him read as follows: To King Darius: All peace.
7Hoouna aku la lakou i ka palapala ia ia, peneia i kakauia'i maloko, Na Dariu ke alii, e aloha nui ia oia.
8Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. The people are rebuilding it with large stones, and placing timbers in the walls. This work is being carried out diligently and is prospering in their hands.
8E hoikeia i ke alii, i hele ai makou i ka aina o ka Iuda i ka hale o ke Akua nui, ka mea i hanaia i ka pohaku i kalaiia a me ka laau i hoonohoia maloko o na papohaku, a ke hana wikiwiki ia keia hana, a e ko ana ia iloko o ko lakou lima.
9So we questioned the elders and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?”
9Alaila ninau aku la makou i kela poe lunakahiko, a i aku la ia lakou, Nawai oukou i kauoha mai e hana i keia hale, a e hoopaa hoi i keia mau papohaku?
10We also asked for their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information.
10Ninau aku hoi makou i ko lakou inoa, i hoike aku ai makou ia oe, a i kakau iho ai hoi i ka inoa o na kanaka, ka poe luna hoi o lakou.
11And this is the answer they returned: “We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and completed.
11A hai mai lakou i ka olelo ia makou peneia, i mai la, He poe kauwa makou na ke Akua o ka lani, a o ka honua, a ke hana nei i ka hale, i ka mea i hanaia i na makahiki mamua loa aku, a kekahi alii nui o ka Iseraela i hana, a hoopaa aku ia.
12But since our fathers angered the God of heaven, He delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean who destroyed this temple and carried away the people to Babylon.
12Aka, mahope o ka hoonaukiuki ana o ko makou poe makua i ke Akua o ka lani, haawi oia ia lakou iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, no Kaledea, nana i wawahi keia hale, a lawe pio aku la i na kanaka i Babulona.
13In his first year, however, Cyrus king of Babylon issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.
13Aka, i ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii o Babulona, kauoha aku la o Kuro ke alii, e hana i ka hale o ke Akua.
14He also removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken and carried there from the temple in Jerusalem. King Cyrus gave these articles to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor
14A o na kiaha gula, a me ke kala o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ae marloko mai o ka luakini ma Ierusalema, a hali aku ia mau mea i ka luakini ma Babulona, oia mau mea ka Kuro ke alii i lawe ni mailoko mai o ka luakini ma Babulona, a ua haawiia oia mau mea i kekahi, o Sesehazara kona inoa, ka mea ana i hoonoho ai i kiaaina;
15and instructed, ‘Take these articles, put them in the temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its original site.’
15I aku la ia ia, E lawe i keia mau kiaha, e hele e hali aku ia mau mea i ka luakini ma Ierusalema, a e hanaia ka hale o ke Akua ma kona wahi.
16So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it has been under construction, but it has not yet been completed.”
16Alaila hele mai o ua Sesebazara la, a hoouoho i ke kahua o ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema: a mai ia manawa a keia wa ka hana ana, aole nae i paa.
17Now, therefore, if it pleases the king, let a search be made of the royal archives in Babylon to see if King Cyrus did indeed issue a decree to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter.
17Ano hoi, ina he mea pono i ke alii, e imihia ma ka hale waihonawaiwai o ke alii ma Babulona, ina he oiaio, ua kauohaia e Kuro e hana i keia hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a e hoouna mai ke alii i kona manao no keia mea.
