Haggaj 1
1 I Kong Darius's andet Aar, i den sjette Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, kom Herrens Ord ved Profeten Haggaj til Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, Landshøvdingen i Juda, og til Josua, Jozadaks Søn, Ypperstepræsten, saalunde:
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dette Folk, de sige: Tiden er ikke kommen, Tiden til at bygge Herrens Hus.
Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.
3 Og Herrens Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj, saaledes:
Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Er det Tid for eder at bo i eders panelede Huse, medens dette Hus er øde?
Is it time for you, O all of you, to dwell in your covered over houses, and this house lie waste?
5 Og nu, saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 I udsaa meget og høste lidet ind, I æde og blive ikke mætte, I drikke og blive ikke læskede, I klæde eder og blive ikke varme, og den, som faar Løn, faar sin Løn i en hullet Pung.
All of you have sown much, and bring in little; all of you eat, but all of you have not enough; all of you drink, but all of you are not filled with drink; all of you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 Gaar op paa Bjerget, og henter Tømmer, og bygger Huset, saa vil jeg have Behag deri og bevise mig herlig, siger Herren.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the LORD.
9 I vente meget, og se, det bliver til lidet, og naar I have ført det hjem, da blæser jeg det bort. Hvorfor? siger den Herre Zebaoth. For mit Hus's Skyld, som er øde, medens I have travlt, hver med sit eget Hus.
All of you looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when all of you brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? says the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and all of you run every man unto his own house.
10 Derfor lukke Himlene sig til over eder, saa at de ikke give Dug, og Jorden har tilbageholdt sin Grøde.
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 Thi jeg kaldte Tørke over Jorden og over Bjergene og over Kornet og over Mosten og over Olien og over det, som Jorden frembringer, og over Folket og over Kvæget og over alt, hvad der udføres med Hænder.
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 Da adløde Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, og Josua, Jozadaks Søn, Ypperstepræsten, og hele det overblevne Folk Herrens deres Guds Røst og Profeten Haggajs Ord, eftersom Herren deres Gud havde sendt ham; og Folket frygtede for Herrens Ansigt.
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 the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
13 Da sagde Haggaj, Herrens Sendebud, som Budskab fra Herren til Folket, saaledes: Jeg er med eder, siger Herren.
Then spoke Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, says the LORD.
14 Og Herren vakte Aanden hos Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, Judas Landshøvding, og Aanden hos Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og Aanden hos alt det overblevne Folk, og de kom og gjorde Arbejdet paa den Herre Zebaoths, deres Guds Hus
And the LORD 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 the LORD of hosts, their God,
15 paa den fire og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, i den sjette Maaned, i Kong Darius's andet Aar.
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
