< 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 twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, 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 Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant 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 amongst you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes 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, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Armies.
بِمُقْتَضَى عَهْدِي الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَكُمْ عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. إِنَّ رُوحِي مَاكِثٌ مَعَكُمْ، فَلا تَفْزَعُوا. ٥ 5
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived amongst you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’
لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ، أَنْ أُزَلْزِلَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ وَالْبَحْرَ وَالْيَابِسَةَ. ٦ 6
For this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, 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. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Armies.
فَالذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ لِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. ٨ 8
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Armies.
وَيَكُونُ مَجْدُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ الأَخِيرِ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ مَجْدِ الْهَيْكَلِ السَّابِقِ، وَأَجْعَلُ السَّلامَ يَسُودُ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ». ٩ 9
‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
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 twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
«هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: اسْأَلِ الْكَهَنَةَ عَمَّا تَقُولُهُ الشَّرِيعَةُ بِشَأْنِ هَذَا السُّؤَالِ: ١١ 11
“The LORD of Armies says: 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 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.”
ثُمَّ سَأَلَ حَجَّي: «إِنْ لَمَسَ إِنْسَانٌ تَنَجَّسَ بِمَسِّ مَيْتٍ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ هَلْ تُصْبِحُ نَجِسَةً؟» فَأَجَابَ الْكَهَنَةُ: «نَعَمْ، تُصْبِحُ نَجِسَةً». ١٣ 13
Then 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.”
عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ حَجَّي: «هَذَا هُوَ حَالُ الشَّعْبِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ حَالُ الأُمَّةِ أَمَامِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَكُلُّ أَعْمَالِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَجَمِيعُ مَا يُقَدِّمُونَهُ نَجِسٌ. ١٤ 14
Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD; ‘and so is every work of their hands. 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
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.
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
Through 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.
إِنِّي ابْتَلَيْتُ تَعَبَ أَيْدِيكُمْ بِالْقَحْطِ وَالذُّبُولِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا تَائِبِينَ إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ١٧ 17
I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says 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, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since 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? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ إِلَى حَجَّي لِلْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَائِلاً: ٢٠ 20
The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth 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
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.
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, says the LORD of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
