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 Jehovah by the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, 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 speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dette Folk, de sige: Tiden er ikke kommen, Tiden til at bygge Herrens Hus.
3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj, saaledes:
4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
Er det Tid for eder at bo i eders panelede Huse, medens dette Hus er øde?
5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Og nu, saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with 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 Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah.
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 behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to 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 over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
Derfor lukke Himlene sig til over eder, saa at de ikke give Dug, og Jorden har tilbageholdt sin Grøde.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people feared before Jehovah.
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 Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Da sagde Haggaj, Herrens Sendebud, som Budskab fra Herren til Folket, saaledes: Jeg er med eder, siger Herren.
14 And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of Jehovah of hosts, 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 in 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.
