< Hagaj 1 >

1 Druge godine kralja Darija, šestoga mjeseca, prvoga dana u mjesecu, dođe riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku:
In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, saying,
2 “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama. Narod ovaj govori: 'Nije još došlo vrijeme da se opet sazda Dom Jahvin!'
"This is what the LORD of hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for the LORD's house to be built.'"
3 Zato je došla riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja:
Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, saying,
4 A vama je vrijeme da stanujete u pokrivenim kućama, dok je ovaj Dom razvaljen.
"Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
5 I zato, ovako sada govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Razmotrite svoje putove!
Now therefore this is what the LORD of hosts says: Consider your ways.
6 Sijete mnogo, malo dovozite; jedete, a niste siti; pijete, a napojit' se ne možete; odijevate se, a nije vam toplo. Poslenik zarađuje plaću, a stavlja je u prodrt tobolac!”
You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."
7 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Razmotrite svoje putove!
This is what the LORD of hosts says: "Consider your ways.
8 Idite na goru, dovezite drva i podignite opet Dom; bit će mi to milo i proslavit ću se” - govori Jahve.
Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says the LORD.
9 “Nadaste se obilju, a gle, malo je; što dovezete kući, ja otpuhnem. A zašto?” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. “Zato što je Dom moj razvaljen, dok se svaki od vas brine za dom svoj.
"You looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says the LORD of hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
10 Stog' je nebo uskratilo rosu, a zemlja uskratila usjeve.
Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
11 Ja dozvah sušu na zemlju i gore, na žito i vino, na ulje i na sve što zemlja rađa, na ljude i stoku i na svaki trudno stečen plod.”
I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, on the oil, and on all what the ground produces, and on men, and on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands."
12 A Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, i Jošua, sin Josadakov, veliki svećenik, i sav ostali narod poslušaše glas Jahve, Boga svojega, i riječi proroka Hagaja u onome radi čega ga Jahve njima posla: i narod se poboja Jahve.
Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD, their God, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as the LORD, their God, had sent him; and the people feared the LORD.
13 Tada Hagaj, glasnik Jahvin, po Jahvinu nalogu ovako reče narodu: “Ja sam s vama” - riječ je Jahvina. -
Then Haggai, the LORD's messenger, spoke the LORD's message to the people, saying, "I am with you," says the LORD.
14 Jahve probudi duh Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i duh Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku, i duh svemu ostalom narodu te oni dođoše i prionuše na posao u Domu Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga svojega.
The LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the cohen hagadol, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
15 Bijaše to dvadeset i četvrtoga dana šestog mjeseca.
in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh the king.
