Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Paa den een og tyvende Dag i den syvende Maaned kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
2 Say now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the rest of the people,
Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og til Resten af Folket saaledes:
3 Who is there still among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how do you 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 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to work: for I am with you, says the Lord of armies:
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 The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.
og min Aand bliver iblandt eder med den Pagt, jeg sluttede med eder, da I drog bort fra Ægypten; frygt ikke!
6 For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In a short time I will make a shaking of 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 make a shaking of all the nations, and the desired things of all nations will come: and I will make this house full of my glory, says the Lord of armies.
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 the Lord of armies.
Mit er Sølvet, og mit er Guldet, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
9 The second glory of this house will be greater than the first, says the Lord of armies: and in this place I will give peace, says the Lord of armies.
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 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord 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 These are the words of the Lord of armies: Put now a point of law to the priests, saying,
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Bed Præsterne om Svar paa følgende Spørgsmaal:
12 If anyone has some holy flesh folded in the skirt of his robe, will bread or soup or wine or oil or any other food be made holy if touched by his skirt? And the priests answering 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, Will any of these be made unclean by the touch of one who is unclean through touching a dead body? And the priests answering said, It will be made 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 said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and the offering they give 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, give thought, looking back from this day to the time before one stone was put on another in the Temple of the Lord:
Men læg nu Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar fra i Dag! Før Sten lagdes paa Sten i HERRENS Hus,
16 How, when anyone came to a store of twenty measures, there were only ten: when anyone went to the wine-store to get fifty vessels full, there were only 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 And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned to me, says the Lord.
Jeg slog eder med Kornbrand, Rust og Hagl ved alt eders Arbejde, men I omvendte eder ikke til mig, lyder det fra HERREN.
18 And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to 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 still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on 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 the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on 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 Say to Zerubbabel, ruler of Judah, I will make a shaking of the heavens and the earth,
Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel: Jeg ryster Himmelen og Jorden
22 Overturning the power of kingdoms; and I will send destruction on the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; by me war-carriages will be overturned with those who are in them; and the horses and the horsemen will come down, everyone 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 the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.
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.
