Haggaj 1
1 I Kong Darius's andet Regeringsaar paa den første Dag i den sjette Maaned kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes: Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn:
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Dette Folk siger: »Endnu er det ikke Tid at bygge HERRENS Hus.«
“Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, This people—they have said, The time has not come, The time the house of YHWH [is] to be built.”
3 Og HERRENS Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
And there is a word of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Er det da Tid for eder at bo i Huse med træklædte Vægge, naar dette Hus ligger øde?
“Is it time for you to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?”
5 Derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar eder!
And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
6 I saar meget, men bringer lidet i Hus; I spiser, men mættes ikke; I drikker, men faar ikke Tørsten slukket; I klæder eder paa, men bliver ikke varme; og Daglejerens Løn gaar i en hullet Pung.
You have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none has heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.”
7 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar eder!
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
8 Gaa op i Bjergene, hent Tømmer og byg Templet, saa jeg kan have Glæde deraf og blive æret, siger HERREN.
Go up the mountain, and you have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honored,” said YHWH.
9 I venter rig Høst, men det bliver kun til lidt; og naar I bringer det i Hus, blæser jeg derpaa. Hvorfor? lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Fordi mit Hus ligger øde, medens enhver af eder har travlt med sit eget Hus.
“Looking for much, and behold, little, And you brought [it] home, and I blew on it—why?” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “Because of My house that is desolate, And you are running—each to his house,
10 Derfor holder Himmelen sin Dug og Jorden sin Afgrøde tilbage;
Therefore, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
11 og jeg har kaldt Tørke hid over Land og Bjerge, over Korn, Most og Olie, over alt, hvad Jorden frembringer, over Folk og Fæ, over alt, hvad Hænder virker.
And I proclaim drought on the land, And on the mountains, and on the grain, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground brings forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labor of the hands.”
12 Og Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og hele Resten af Folket adlød HERREN deres Guds Røst og Profeten Haggajs Ord, eftersom HERREN havde sendt ham til dem, og Folket frygtede HERREN.
And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listen to the voice of their God YHWH, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as their God YHWH had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of YHWH.
13 Da sagde Haggaj, HERRENS Sendebud, i HERRENS Ærinde til Folket: Jeg er med eder, lyder det fra HERREN.
And Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
14 Og HERREN vakte Aanden i Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og i Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og i hele Resten af Folket, saa de kom og tog fat paa Arbejdet med deres Guds, Hærskarers HERRES, Hus
And YHWH stirs up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and work in the house of YHWH of Hosts their God,
15 paa den fire og tyvende Dag i den sjette Maaned i Kong Darius's andet Regeringsaar.
in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
