Haggai 1
1 In the second yeere of King Darius, in the sixt moneth, the first day of the moneth, came ye worde of the Lord (by the ministery of the Prophet Haggai) vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, a prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, saying,
I Kong Darius's andet Regeringsaar paa den første Dag i den sjette Maaned kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes: Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn:
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, This people say, The time is not yet come, that the Lords House should be builded.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Dette Folk siger: »Endnu er det ikke Tid at bygge HERRENS Hus.«
3 Then came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
Og HERRENS Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
4 Is it time for your selues to dwell in your sieled houses, and this House lie waste?
Er det da Tid for eder at bo i Huse med træklædte Vægge, naar dette Hus ligger øde?
5 Now therefore thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
Derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar eder!
6 Ye haue sowen much, and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye clothe you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge.
I saar meget, men bringer lidet i Hus; I spiser, men mættes ikke; I drikker, men faar ikke Tørsten slukket; I klæder eder paa, men bliver ikke varme; og Daglejerens Løn gaar i en hullet Pung.
7 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar eder!
8 Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build this House, and I wil be fauourable in it, and I will be glorified, sayth the Lord.
Gaa op i Bjergene, hent Tømmer og byg Templet, saa jeg kan have Glæde deraf og blive æret, siger HERREN.
9 Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to litle: and when ye brought it home, I did blowe vpon it. And why, sayth the Lord of hostes? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye runne euery man vnto his owne house.
I venter rig Høst, men det bliver kun til lidt; og naar I bringer det i Hus, blæser jeg derpaa. Hvorfor? lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Fordi mit Hus ligger øde, medens enhver af eder har travlt med sit eget Hus.
10 Therefore the heauen ouer you stayed it selfe from dewe, and the earth stayed her fruite.
Derfor holder Himmelen sin Dug og Jorden sin Afgrøde tilbage;
11 And I called for a drought vpon the land, and vpon the mountaines, and vpon the corne, and vpon the wine, and vpon the oyle, vpon all that the ground bringeth foorth: both vpon men and vpon cattell, and vpon all the labour of the hands.
og jeg har kaldt Tørke hid over Land og Bjerge, over Korn, Most og Olie, over alt, hvad Jorden frembringer, over Folk og Fæ, over alt, hvad Hænder virker.
12 When Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest with all the remnant of the people, heard the voyce of the Lord their God, and the wordes of the Prophet Haggai (as the Lord their God had sent him) then the people did feare before the Lord.
Og Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og hele Resten af Folket adlød HERREN deres Guds Røst og Profeten Haggajs Ord, eftersom HERREN havde sendt ham til dem, og Folket frygtede HERREN.
13 Then spake Haggai the Lords messenger in the Lords message vnto the people, saying, I am with you, sayth the Lord.
Da sagde Haggaj, HERRENS Sendebud, i HERRENS Ærinde til Folket: Jeg er med eder, lyder det fra HERREN.
14 And the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Zerubbabel, the sonne of Shealtiel a prince of Iudah, and the spirit of Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came, and did the worke in the House of the Lord of hostes their God.
Og HERREN vakte Aanden i Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og i Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og i hele Resten af Folket, saa de kom og tog fat paa Arbejdet med deres Guds, Hærskarers HERRES, Hus
15 In the foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of King Darius,
paa den fire og tyvende Dag i den sjette Maaned i Kong Darius's andet Regeringsaar.
