Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
I Kong Darius's andet Regeringsår på den første Dag i den sjette Måned kom HERRENs Ord ved Profeten Haggaj således: Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn:
2 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, This people—they have said, The time has not come, The time the house of YHWH [is] to be built.”
Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Dette Folk siger: "Endnu er det ikke Tid at bygge HERRENs Hus."
3 And there is a word of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj således:
4 “Is it time for you to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?”
Er det da Tid for eder at bo i Huse med træklædte Vægge, når dette Hus ligger øde?
5 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det går eder!
6 You have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none has heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.”
I sår meget, men bringer lidet i Hus; I spiser, men mættes ikke; I drikker, men får ikke Tørsten slukket; I klæder eder på, men bliver ikke varme; og Daglejerens Løn går i en hullet Pung.
7 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det går eder!
8 Go up the mountain, and you have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honored,” said YHWH.
Gå op i Bjergene, hent Tømmer og byg Templet, så jeg kan have Glæde deraf og blive æret, siger HERREN.
9 “Looking for much, and behold, little, And you brought [it] home, and I blew on it—why?” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “Because of My house that is desolate, And you are running—each to his house,
I venter rig Høst, men det bliver kun til lidt; og når I bringer det i Hus, blæser jeg derpå. Hvorfor? lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Fordi mit Hus ligger øde, medens enhver af eder har travlt med sit eget Hus.
10 Therefore, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
Derfor holder Himmelen sin Dug og Jorden sin Afgrøde tilbage;
11 And I proclaim drought on the land, And on the mountains, and on the grain, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground brings forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labor 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 And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listen to the voice of their God YHWH, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as their God YHWH had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of YHWH.
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 And Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
Da sagde Haggaj, HERRENs Sendebud, i HERRENs Ærinde til Folket: Jeg er med eder, lyder det fra HERREN.
14 And YHWH stirs up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and work in the house of YHWH of Hosts their God,
Og HERREN vakte Ånden i Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og i Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og i hele Resten at Folkef, så de kom og tog fat på Arbejdet med deres Guds, Hærskarers HERREs, Hus
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
på den fire og tyvende Dag i den sjette Måned i Kong Darius's andet Regeringsår.
