< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
Druge godine kralja Darija, šestoga mjeseca, prvoga dana u mjesecu, dođe riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku:
2 Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama. Narod ovaj govori: 'Nije još došlo vrijeme da se opet sazda Dom Jahvin!'
3 But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Zato je došla riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja:
4 Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses, while this house is deserted?
A vama je vrijeme da stanujete u pokrivenim kućama, dok je ovaj Dom razvaljen.
5 And now, thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
I zato, ovako sada govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Razmotrite svoje putove!
6 You sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with holes.
Sijete mnogo, malo dovozite; jedete, a niste siti; pijete, a napojit' se ne možete; odijevate se, a nije vam toplo. Poslenik zarađuje plaću, a stavlja je u prodrt tobolac!”
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: “Razmotrite svoje putove!
8 Ascend to the mountain, bring wood and build the house, and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, says the Lord.
Idite na goru, dovezite drva i podignite opet Dom; bit će mi to milo i proslavit ću se” - govori Jahve.
9 You have looked for more, and behold, it became less, and you brought it home, and I blew it away. What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts? It is because my house is desolate, yet you have hurried, each one to his own house.
“Nadaste se obilju, a gle, malo je; što dovezete kući, ja otpuhnem. A zašto?” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. “Zato što je Dom moj razvaljen, dok se svaki od vas brine za dom svoj.
10 Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew, and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
Stog' je nebo uskratilo rosu, a zemlja uskratila usjeve.
11 And I called a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the wheat, and over the wine, and over the oil, and whatever the soil would bring forth, and over men, and over beasts of burden, and over all the labor of hands.
Ja dozvah sušu na zemlju i gore, na žito i vino, na ulje i na sve što zemlja rađa, na ljude i stoku i na svaki trudno stečen plod.”
12 And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of the Lord.
A Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, i Jošua, sin Josadakov, veliki svećenik, i sav ostali narod poslušaše glas Jahve, Boga svojega, i riječi proroka Hagaja u onome radi čega ga Jahve njima posla: i narod se poboja Jahve.
13 And Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord, spoke to the people, saying: the Lord says, “I am with you.”
Tada Hagaj, glasnik Jahvin, po Jahvinu nalogu ovako reče narodu: “Ja sam s vama” - riječ je Jahvina. -
14 And the Lord stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the remainder of all the people. And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
Jahve probudi duh Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i duh Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku, i duh svemu ostalom narodu te oni dođoše i prionuše na posao u Domu Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga svojega.
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius, they began.
Bijaše to dvadeset i četvrtoga dana šestog mjeseca.
