Aggaeus 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, saying,
I Kong Darius's andet Aar, i den sjette Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, kom Herrens Ord ved Profeten Haggaj til Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, Landshøvdingen i Juda, og til Josua, Jozadaks Søn, Ypperstepræsten, saalunde:
2 Thus saith the Lord Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not come to build the house of the Lord.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dette Folk, de sige: Tiden er ikke kommen, Tiden til at bygge Herrens Hus.
3 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj, saaledes:
4 Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is desolate?
Er det Tid for eder at bo i eders panelede Huse, medens dette Hus er øde?
5 And now thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you.
Og nu, saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
6 Ye have sown much, but brought in little; ye have eaten, and are not satisfied; ye have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, ye have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered [them] into a bag full of holes.
I udsaa meget og høste lidet ind, I æde og blive ikke mætte, I drikke og blive ikke læskede, I klæde eder og blive ikke varme, og den, som faar Løn, faar sin Løn i en hullet Pung.
7 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
8 Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith the Lord.
Gaar op paa Bjerget, og henter Tømmer, og bygger Huset, saa vil jeg have Behag deri og bevise mig herlig, siger Herren.
9 Ye looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and ye run everyone into his own house;
I vente meget, og se, det bliver til lidet, og naar I have ført det hjem, da blæser jeg det bort. Hvorfor? siger den Herre Zebaoth. For mit Hus's Skyld, som er øde, medens I have travlt, hver med sit eget Hus.
10 therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce.
Derfor lukke Himlene sig til over eder, saa at de ikke give Dug, og Jorden har tilbageholdt sin Grøde.
11 And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labours of their hands.
Thi jeg kaldte Tørke over Jorden og over Bjergene og over Kornet og over Mosten og over Olien og over det, som Jorden frembringer, og over Folket og over Kvæget og over alt, hvad der udføres med Hænder.
12 And Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of the prophet Aggaeus, according as the Lord their God had sent him to them, and the people feared before the Lord.
Da adløde Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, og Josua, Jozadaks Søn, Ypperstepræsten, og hele det overblevne Folk Herrens deres Guds Røst og Profeten Haggajs Ord, eftersom Herren deres Gud havde sendt ham; og Folket frygtede for Herrens Ansigt.
13 And Aggaeus the Lord's messenger spoke among the messengers of the Lord to the people, [saying], I am with you, saith the Lord.
Da sagde Haggaj, Herrens Sendebud, som Budskab fra Herren til Folket, saaledes: Jeg er med eder, siger Herren.
14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people; and they went in, and wrought in the house of the Lord Almighty their God,
Og Herren vakte Aanden hos Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, Judas Landshøvding, og Aanden hos Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og Aanden hos alt det overblevne Folk, og de kom og gjorde Arbejdet paa den Herre Zebaoths, deres Guds Hus
15 on the four and twentieth [day] of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
paa den fire og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, i den sjette Maaned, i Kong Darius's andet Aar.
