< حَجَّي 2 >

وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْحَادِي وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ (أَيْ شَهْرِ تِشْرِينَ الأَوَّلِ – أُكْتُوبَرَ) أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ إِلَى حَجَّيِ النَّبِيِّ: ١ 1
In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day] of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
«خَاطِبْ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنَ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمَ يَهُوذَا، وَيَهُوشَعَ بْنَ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَجَمِيعَ الْبَقِيَّةِ النَّاجِيَةِ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً: ٢ 2
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,
مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْكُمْ مِمَّنْ شَاهَدُوا هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ فِي مَجْدِهِ السَّابِقِ؟ كَيْفَ تَرَوْنَهُ الآنَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ فِي نَظَرِكُمْ كَلا شَيْءٍ؟ ٣ 3
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?
وَالآنَ تَشَجَّعْ يَازَرُبَّابِلُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَتَشَدَّدْ يَا يَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَأَنْتُمْ كَذَلِكَ يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ. تَشَجَّعُوا وَاعْمَلُوا بِجَدٍّ لأَنِّي مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. ٤ 4
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:
بِمُقْتَضَى عَهْدِي الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَكُمْ عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. إِنَّ رُوحِي مَاكِثٌ مَعَكُمْ، فَلا تَفْزَعُوا. ٥ 5
[According to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ، أَنْ أُزَلْزِلَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ وَالْبَحْرَ وَالْيَابِسَةَ. ٦ 6
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; ]
وَأُزَعْزِعَ أَرْكَانَ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ فَتُجْلَبَ نَفَائِسُهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ وَأَمْلأَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ بِالْمَجْدِ. ٧ 7
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.
فَالذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ لِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. ٨ 8
The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
وَيَكُونُ مَجْدُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ الأَخِيرِ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ مَجْدِ الْهَيْكَلِ السَّابِقِ، وَأَجْعَلُ السَّلامَ يَسُودُ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ». ٩ 9
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.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ (أَيْ شَهْرِ كَانُونَ الأَوَّلِ – دِيسَمْبَر)، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ: ١٠ 10
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,
«هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: اسْأَلِ الْكَهَنَةَ عَمَّا تَقُولُهُ الشَّرِيعَةُ بِشَأْنِ هَذَا السُّؤَالِ: ١١ 11
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests [concerning] the law, saying,
إِنْ حَمَلَ إِنْسَانٌ لَحْماً مُقَدَّساً بَيْنَ طَيَّاتِ ثَوْبِهِ، وَلَمَسَ طَرَفُهُ خُبْزاً أَوْ طَبِيخاً أَوْ خَمْراً أَوْ زَيْتاً أَوْ أَيَّ طَعَامٍ آخَرَ، فَهَلْ يُصْبِحُ ذَاكَ مُقَدَّساً؟» فَأَجَابَ الْكَهَنَةُ: «لا». ١٢ 12
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.
ثُمَّ سَأَلَ حَجَّي: «إِنْ لَمَسَ إِنْسَانٌ تَنَجَّسَ بِمَسِّ مَيْتٍ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ هَلْ تُصْبِحُ نَجِسَةً؟» فَأَجَابَ الْكَهَنَةُ: «نَعَمْ، تُصْبِحُ نَجِسَةً». ١٣ 13
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.
عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ حَجَّي: «هَذَا هُوَ حَالُ الشَّعْبِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ حَالُ الأُمَّةِ أَمَامِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَكُلُّ أَعْمَالِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَجَمِيعُ مَا يُقَدِّمُونَهُ نَجِسٌ. ١٤ 14
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.
وَالآنَ تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا صَنَعْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَالأَيَّامَ السَّالِفَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَضَعُوا حَجَراً فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. ١٥ 15
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:
عِنْدَمَا كَانَ يُقْبِلُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى كَوْمَةِ حُبُوبٍ ظَنّاً مِنْهُ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ غَلَّتْ عِشْرِينَ مِكْيَالاً، يَجِدُ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تُغِلَّ سِوَى عَشَرَةٍ فَقَطْ. وَحِينَ يَدْنُو مِنَ الْمِعْصَرَةِ لِيَغْرُفَ مِلْءَ خَمْسِينَ وِعَاءً، لَا يَجِدُ إِلّا عِشْرِينَ. ١٦ 16
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.
إِنِّي ابْتَلَيْتُ تَعَبَ أَيْدِيكُمْ بِالْقَحْطِ وَالذُّبُولِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا تَائِبِينَ إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ١٧ 17
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.
وَلَكِنْ تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا يَجْرِي مُنْذُ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَصَاعِداً، مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ، مُنْذُ أَنْ تَمَّ وَضْعُ أَسَاسِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. تَأَمَّلُوا. ١٨ 18
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].
هَلْ فِي الأَهْرَاءِ بِذَارٌ بَعْدُ؟ حَتَّى الْكُرُومُ وَالتِّينُ وَالرُّمَّانُ وَالزَّيْتُونُ لَمْ تُثْمِرْ بَعْدُ. لَكِنْ مُنْذُ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أُبَارِكُ فِيهَا». ١٩ 19
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].
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ إِلَى حَجَّي لِلْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَائِلاً: ٢٠ 20
And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
«كَلِّمْ زَرُبَّابِلَ حَاكِمَ يَهُوذَا وَقُلْ لَهُ: أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُزَلْزِلَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ. ٢١ 21
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
وَأُطَوِّحَ بِعُرُوشِ مَمَالِكِ الأُمَمِ، وَأُدَمِّرَ قُوَّتَهَا وَأَقْلِبَ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَفُرْسَانَهَا، فَتَهْوِي الْخُيُولُ وَرُكَّابُهَا وَيَلْقَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَتْفَهُ بِسَيْفِ صَاحِبِهِ. ٢٢ 22
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.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، أَصْطَفِيكَ يَازَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَجْعَلُكَ كَخَاتَمٍ فِي إِصْبَعِي (حَاكِماً بِاسْمِي) لأَنِّي اخْتَرْتُكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ». ٢٣ 23
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.
