Haggeus 1
1 Léta druhého Daria krále, měsíce šestého, prvního dne téhož měsíce, stalo se slovo Hospodinovo skrze Aggea proroka k Zorobábelovi synu Salatielovu, knížeti Judskému, a k Jozue synu Jozadakovu, knězi nejvyššímu, řkoucí:
[I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
2 Takto dí Hospodin zástupů, řka: Lid tento praví, že nepřišel čas, čas, v němž by dům Hospodinův staven byl.
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
3 Pročež stalo se slovo Hospodinovo skrze Aggea proroka, řkoucí:
Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
4 Jest-liž vám čas, abyste vy seděli v domích svých taflovaných, a dům tento pustý stál?
“It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
5 Protož nyní takto praví Hospodin zástupů: Přiložte srdce své k cestám svým.
[I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
6 Sejete mnoho, a shromažďujete málo; jíte, ale nebýváte nasyceni; pijete, ale neuhašujete žízně; obláčíte se, ale žádný nemůže se zahříti; a ten, kdož sobě mzdu shromažďuje, shromažďuje ji do pytlíka děravého.
You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
7 Takto praví Hospodin zástupů: Přiložte srdce své k cestám svým.
[So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
8 Vstupte na tuto horu, a svezouce dříví, stavějte dům tento, i oblíbím sobě to, a budu oslaven, praví Hospodin.
[Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
9 Patříte na mnoho, a aj, maličko jest, a což vnášíte do domu, já to rozdmychuji. Proč se to děje? dí Hospodin zástupů. I pro dům můj, že pustý jest, ješto vy jeden každý pečlivi jste o dům svůj.
You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
10 Protož zavřelo se nebe nad vámi, aby nedávalo rosy, země také zavřela se, aby nevydávala úrody své.
It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
11 A tak zavolal jsem sucha na zemi tuto, a na tyto hory, i na obilé, i na víno, a na olej, i na to, což by měla vydávati země, i na lidi, i na dobytek, i na všecku práci rukou.
I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
12 I uposlechl Zorobábel syn Salatielův, a Jozue syn Jozadakův, kněz nejvyšší, i všickni ostatkové lidu hlasu Hospodina Boha svého, a slov Aggea proroka, poněvadž jej poslal Hospodin Bůh jejich; nebo se bál lid tváři Hospodinovy.
Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
13 Tedy Aggeus posel Hospodinův mluvil lidu v poselství Hospodinovu, řka: Já s vámi jsem, praví Hospodin.
Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
14 V tom vzbudil Hospodin ducha Zorobábele syna Salatielova, knížete Judského, a ducha Jozue syna Jozadakova, kněze nejvyššího, a ducha ostatků všeho lidu, a přišedše, dělali dílo v domě Hospodina zástupů, Boha svého.
[So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
15 Dne dvadcátého čtvrtého, měsíce šestého, léta druhého Daria krále.
[They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
