حَجَّي 1
| فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ الْمَلِكِ، فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ (أَيْ شَهْرِ آبِ – أُغُسْطُسَ)، بَعَثَ الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةِ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمِ يَهُوذَا، وَإِلَى يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Yhwh by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: قَدْ قَالَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ لَمْ يَحِنْ بَعْدُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ». | ٢ 2 |
Thus speaketh Yhwh of Armies, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Yhwh's house should be built.
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ قَائِلاً: | ٣ 3 |
Then came the word of Yhwh by Haggai the prophet, saying,
| «هَلْ حَانَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تُقِيمُونَ فِي بُيُوتٍ مُغَشَّاةٍ بِأَلْوَاحٍ بَيْنَمَا هَذَا الْبَيْتُ مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً؟» | ٤ 4 |
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
| وَالآنَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٥ 5 |
Now therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Consider your ways.
| لَقَدْ زَرَعْتُمْ كَثِيراً وَحَصَدْتُمْ قَلِيلاً. أَكَلْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَشْبَعُوا. شَرِبْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَرْتَوُوا. اكْتَسَيْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْتَدْفِئُوا. وَالَّذِي يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً سَرْعَانَ مَا تَتَبَدَّدُ أُجْرَتُهُ، وَكَأَنَّهَا وُضِعَتْ فِي صُرَّةٍ مَثْقُوبَةٍ». | ٦ 6 |
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٧ 7 |
Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Consider your ways.
| اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَاجْلِبُوا خَشَباً وَشَيِّدُوا الْهَيْكَلَ فَأَرْضَى عَنْهُ وَأَتَمَجَّدَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ٨ 8 |
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Yhwh.
| لَقَدْ تَوَقَّعْتُمْ كَثِيراً فَحَصَلْتُمْ عَلَى قَلِيلٍ، وَمَا أَتَيْتُمْ بِهِ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ مِنْ غَلَّةٍ نَفَخْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَبَدَّدْتُهُ. لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ؟ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَيْتِي الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً بَيْنَمَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Yhwh of Armies. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
| لِذَلِكَ مَنَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقُ عَنْكُمُ النَّدَى، وَمَنَعَتِ الأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
| وَقَضَيْتُ بِالْقَحْطِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَالتِّلالِ، وَعَلَى حُقُولِ الْحِنْطَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ، وَأَشْجَارِ الزَّيْتُونِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ الأَرْضُ، وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَعَبِ أَيْدِيكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَطَاعَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَيَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَسَائِرُ بَقِيَّةِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَاسْتَمَعُوا إِلَى كَلِمَاتِ حَجَّيِ النَّبِيِّ، كَمَا بَعَثَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَاعْتَرَى الْخَوْفُ الشَّعْبَ فِي مَحْضَرِ اللهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yhwh their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yhwh their God had sent him, and the people did fear before Yhwh.
| ثُمَّ أَبْلَغَ حَجَّي رَسُولُ الرَّبِّ، الشَّعْبَ رِسَالَةَ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then spake Haggai Yhwh's messenger in Yhwh's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Yhwh.
| وَبَثَّ الرَّبُّ الْهِمَّةَ فِي نَفْسِ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمِ يَهُوذَا وَنَفْسِ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَنُفُوسِ سَائِرِ بَقِيَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَتَوَافَدُوا وَبَاشَرُوا الْعَمَلَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Yhwh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of Yhwh of Armies, their God,
| وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ دَارِيُّوسَ. | ١٥ 15 |
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
