Haggaj 2
1 Paa den een og tyvende Dag i den syvende Maaned kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
In the seventh [month], on the twenty-first of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og til Resten af Folket saaledes:
“Now speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
3 Er der nogen tilbage iblandt eder af dem, der har set dette Hus i dets fordums Herlighed? Hvorledes tykkes det eder da nu? Er det ikke som intet i eders Øjne?
Who among you has been left that saw this house in its former glory? And what are you seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?
4 Dog vær kun trøstig, Zerubbabel, lyder det fra HERREN, vær kun trøstig, du Ypperstepræst Josua, Jozadaks Søn, vær kun trøstigt, alt Folket i Landet, lyder det fra HERREN. Arbejd kun, thi jeg er med eder, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE,
And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel,” A declaration of YHWH, “And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all you people of the land,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do, for I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
5 og min Aand bliver iblandt eder med den Pagt, jeg sluttede med eder, da I drog bort fra Ægypten; frygt ikke!
“The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, do not fear.”
6 Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Endnu en Gang om en liden Stund vil jeg ryste Himmel og Jord, Hav og tørt Land,
For thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Yet once more—it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,
7 og jeg vil ryste alle Folkene, og da skal alle Folkenes Skatte komme hid, og jeg fylder dette Hus med Herlighed, siger Hærskarers HERRE.
And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] glory,” said YHWH of Hosts.
8 Mit er Sølvet, og mit er Guldet, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
“The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
9 Dette Hus's kommende Herlighed bliver større end den tidligere, siger Hærskarers HERRE, og paa dette Sted vil jeg give Fred, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
“Greater is the glory of this latter house, Than of the former,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I give peace in this place,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
10 Paa den fire og tyvende Dag i den niende Maaned i Darius's andet Regeringsaar kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
On the twenty-fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Bed Præsterne om Svar paa følgende Spørgsmaal:
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of the Law, saying,
12 »Dersom en Mand bærer helligt Kød i sin Kappeflig og med Fligen rører ved Brød eller noget, som er kogt, eller ved Vin eller Olie eller nogen Slags Mad, bliver disse Ting saa hellige?« Præsterne svarede nej.
Behold, [when] one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he has come with his skirt against the bread, or against the stew, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food—is it holy?” And the priests answer and say, “No.”
13 Haggaj spurgte da: »Hvis en, som er blevet uren ved Lig, rører ved nogen af disse Ting, bliver den saa uren?« Præsterne svarede ja.
And Haggai says, “If the unclean of body comes against any of these, is it unclean?” And the priests answer and say, “It is unclean.”
14 Saa tog Haggaj til Orde og sagde: Saaledes er det i mine Øjne med disse Mennesker, saaledes med dette Folk, lyder det fra HERREN, og saaledes med alt deres Hænders Værk og med, hvad de ofrer der: det er urent.
And Haggai answers and says, “So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there—it is unclean.
15 Men læg nu Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar fra i Dag! Før Sten lagdes paa Sten i HERRENS Hus,
And now, please lay [it] to your heart, From this day and onward, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of YHWH.
16 hvorledes gik det eder da? Naar man kom til en Dynge Korn paa tyve Maal, var der ti; og kom man til en Vinperse for at øse halvtredsindstyve Maal af Kummen, var der tyve.
From that time [one] has come to a heap of twenty, And it has been ten, He has come to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, And it has been twenty.
17 Jeg slog eder med Kornbrand, Rust og Hagl ved alt eders Arbejde, men I omvendte eder ikke til mig, lyder det fra HERREN.
I have struck you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail—All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
18 Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar fra i Dag, fra den fire og tyvende Dag i den niende Maaned, fra den Dag Grunden lagdes til HERRENS Hus, læg Mærke dertil!
“Now set [it] to your heart, from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of YHWH has been founded, set [it] to your heart.
19 Er Sæden endnu i Laderne, staar Vinstokken, Figentræet, Granatæbletræet og Oliventræet endnu uden Frugt? Fra i Dag velsigner jeg.
Is the seed yet in the barn? And until now the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne—from this day I bless.”
20 Og HERRENS Ord kom for anden Gang til Haggaj paa den fire og tyvende Dag i Maaneden saaledes:
And there is a word of YHWH a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,
21 Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel: Jeg ryster Himmelen og Jorden
“Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
22 og omstyrter Kongernes Troner, tilintetgør Hedningerigernes Styrke og vælter Stridsvognene med deres Førere, og Heste og Ryttere skal styrte, og den ene skal falde for den andens Sværd.
And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And horses and their riders have come down, Each by the sword of his brother.
23 Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, tager jeg dig, min Tjener Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, lyder det fra HERREN, og gør dig til en Seglring; thi dig har jeg udvalgt, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
In that day,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,” A declaration of YHWH, “And have set you as a signet, For I have fixed on you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
