< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
V drugem letu kralja Dareja, v šestem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju k Zerubabélu, Šealtiélovemu sinu, voditelju Juda in k Ješúu, Jocadákovemu sinu, vélikemu duhovniku, rekoč:
2 These are the words of the Lord of armies: These people say, The time has not come for building the Lord's house.
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, rekoč: ›To ljudstvo pravi: ›Čas ni prišel, čas, da bi bila zgrajena Gospodova hiša.‹
3 Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
4 Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?
› Ali je čas za vas, oh vi, da prebivate v svojih obitih hišah, ta hiša pa leži zapuščena?‹
5 For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.
Zdaj torej tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite svoje poti.‹
6 Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.
Mnogo ste sejali, prinesli pa malo; jedli ste, toda nimate dovolj; pijete, toda niste nasičeni s pijačo; oblačite se, toda nihče ni ogret; in tisti, ki zasluži plačila, zasluži plačila, da jih daje v torbo z luknjami.‹
7 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Give thought to your ways.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite svoje poti.
8 Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.
Pojdite gor na goro, pripeljite les, zgradite hišo in razveseljeval se bom v njej in jaz bom proslavljen, ‹ govori Gospod.
9 You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.
Precej ste iskali in glejte, postalo je malo; in ko ste to prinesli domov, sem pihnil na to. Zakaj?‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki. ›Zaradi moje hiše, ki je opustošena, vi pa tečete vsakdo za svojo lastno hišo.
10 For this cause the heaven over you is kept from giving dew, and the earth from giving her fruit.
Zatorej je nebo nad vami zadržano pred roso in zemlja je zadržana pred njenim sadom.
11 And by my order no rain came on the land or on the mountains or the grain or the wine or the oil or the produce of the earth or on men or cattle or on any work of man's hands.
In jaz sem poklical sušo na deželo, na gore, na žito, na novo vino, na olje in na to, kar prinašajo tla, na ljudi, na živino in na ves trud rok.‹«
12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.
Potem sta Zerubabél, Šealtiélov sin in Ješúa, Jocadákov sin, véliki duhovnik, z vsem preostankom ljudstva, ubogala glas Gospoda, svojega Boga in besede preroka Ageja, kakor mu jih je poslal Gospod, njihov Bog in ljudstvo se je balo pred Gospodom.
13 Then Haggai, whom the Lord had sent to give his words to the people, said, I am with you, says the Lord.
Potem je spregovoril Agej, Gospodov poslanec v Gospodovi poslanici ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Jaz sem z vami, ‹ govori Gospod.
14 And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.
In Gospod je razvnel duha Zerubabéla, Šealtiélovega sina, voditelja Judeje in duha Ješúa, Jocadákovega sina, vélikega duhovnika in duha vsega preostanka ljudstva in prišli so in delali v hiši Gospoda nad bojevniki, svojega Boga,
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
v štiriindvajsetem dnevu šestega meseca, v drugem letu kralja Dareja.
