< Hagaj 2 >
1 Druge godine kralja Darija, sedmoga mjeseca, dvadeset i prvoga dana u mjesecu, dođe riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja:
In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day] of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 “Reci ovako Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku, i ostalom narodu:
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,
3 'Ima li još koga među vama koji vidje ovaj Dom u njegovoj staroj slavi? A kakva ga sada vi vidite? Prema onome, nije li to k'o ništa u vašim očima?
Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?
4 Budi, dakle, junak, Zerubabele - riječ je Jahvina - budi junak, Jošua, sine Josadakov, veliki svećeniče! Budi junak, narode sve zemlje - riječ je Jahvina. Na posao! Jer, ja sam s vama! - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama!
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, 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,
5 Po obećanju što ga vama dadoh kad izađoste iz Egipta, duh moj posred vas ostaje. Ne bojte se!'
[according to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my spirit abode among you: fear ye not.
6 Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Zamalo, i ja ću potresti nebesa i zemlju, i more i kopno.
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;
7 Potrest ću sve narode da dođe blago svih naroda, i slavom ću napunit ovaj Dom' - kaže Jahve nad Vojskama.
and I will shake all nations, and the desirable things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
8 'Moje je zlato, moje je srebro' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 'Slava ovoga drugog Doma bit će veća nego prvoga' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. 'I na ovom ću mjestu dati mir' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.”
The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
10 Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, druge godine kralja Darija, dođe riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja:
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,
11 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama. “Pitaj svećenike što kaže Zakon i reci:
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 'Kad bi tko u skutu svoje haljine nosio posvećeno meso, ili bi se skutom dotakao kruha, jela, vina, ulja ili kakve god hrane, bi li to postalo sveto?'” Svećenici odgovoriše: “Ne!”
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 become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Hagaj dalje upita: “Kad bi netko koji se onečistio dodirnuvši mrtvaca dotakao nešto od onoga, bi li to postalo nečisto?” Svećenici odgovoriše: “Bilo bi nečisto.”
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.
14 Onda Hagaj ovako reče: “Takav je i ovaj puk, takav je ovaj narod preda mnom - riječ je Jahvina - takvo je svako djelo ruku njihovih, i sve što ovdje prinose: sve je nečisto!”
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.
15 “A sada, promislite u srcu, od današnjega dana unapredak: Prije negoli se poče stavljati kamen na kamen u Jahvinu Svetištu,
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:
16 kakvi ono bijaste? Dolažaste hrpi od dvadeset mjerica, a bješe ih samo deset! Dolažaste kaci da zahvatite pedeset mjerica, a bješe ih samo dvadeset!
Through all that time, when one came to an heap of twenty [measures], there were but ten; when one came to the winefat for to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty.
17 Udarao sam snijeću, medljikom i grÓadom svako djelo vaših ruku, ali nikoga nema k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the LORD.
18 “Stoga dobro pripazite od današnjeg dana unapredak - od dvadeset i četvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, kad se stao graditi Hram Jahvin, pripazite dobro
Consider, I pray you, from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month], since the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid, consider it.
19 ima li još žita u žitnici? Ni vinova loza ni smokva, ni mogranj ni maslina nisu rađali! Al' od ovog dana ja ću blagosloviti.”
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree hath not brought forth; from this day will I bless [you].
20 Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana istoga mjeseca dođe riječ Jahvina Hagaju drugi put:
And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
21 “Reci ovako Zerubabelu, namjesniku judejskom: 'Ja ću potresti nebesa i zemlju!
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth:
22 Oborit ću prijestolja kraljevstvima i uništit ću moć kraljevima naroda. Prevrnut ću bojna kola i one na njima, konji i konjanici njihovi bit će oboreni, past će od mača brata svojega.'”
and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; 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.
23 “Toga dana” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - “uzet ću te, Zerubabele, sine Šealtielov, slugo moja” - riječ je Jahvina - “i stavit ću te kao pečatnjak, jer tebe izabrah” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
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.
