Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Paa den een og tyvende Dag i den syvende Maaned kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og til Resten af Folket saaledes:
3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not in your eyes as nothing?
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?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says Jehovah, and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, says Jehovah, and work. For I am with you, says Jehovah of hosts,
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,
5 according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you. Fear ye not.
og min Aand bliver iblandt eder med den Pagt, jeg sluttede med eder, da I drog bort fra Ægypten; frygt ikke!
6 For thus says Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Endnu en Gang om en liden Stund vil jeg ryste Himmel og Jord, Hav og tørt Land,
7 And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Jehovah of hosts.
og jeg vil ryste alle Folkene, og da skal alle Folkenes Skatte komme hid, og jeg fylder dette Hus med Herlighed, siger Hærskarers HERRE.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says Jehovah of hosts.
Mit er Sølvet, og mit er Guldet, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says Jehovah of hosts, and in this place I will give peace, says Jehovah of hosts.
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.
10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Paa den fire og tyvende Dag i den niende Maaned i Darius's andet Regeringsaar kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
11 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Bed Præsterne om Svar paa følgende Spørgsmaal:
12 If a man bears holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt touches bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
»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.
13 Then Haggai said, If a man who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Haggaj spurgte da: »Hvis en, som er blevet uren ved Lig, rører ved nogen af disse Ting, bliver den saa uren?« Præsterne svarede ja.
14 Then Haggai answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says Jehovah, and so is every work of their hands. And that which they offer there is unclean.
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.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah.
Men læg nu Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar fra i Dag! Før Sten lagdes paa Sten i HERRENS Hus,
16 Through all that time, when a man came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When he came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty.
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.
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands, yet ye turned not to me, says Jehovah.
Jeg slog eder med Kornbrand, Rust og Hagl ved alt eders Arbejde, men I omvendte eder ikke til mig, lyder det fra HERREN.
18 Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Jehovah's temple was laid, consider it.
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!
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yea, the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not brought forth. From this day I will bless you.
Er Sæden endnu i Laderne, staar Vinstokken, Figentræet, Granatæbletræet og Oliventræet endnu uden Frugt? Fra i Dag velsigner jeg.
20 And the word of Jehovah came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
Og HERRENS Ord kom for anden Gang til Haggaj paa den fire og tyvende Dag i Maaneden saaledes:
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth.
Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel: Jeg ryster Himmelen og Jorden
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. And I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. And the horses and their riders shall come down, each one by the sword of his brother.
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.
23 In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, I will take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet. For I have chosen thee, says Jehovah of hosts.
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.
