Haggai 2
1 In the seventh [month], on the twenty-first of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Iden syvende Maaned, paa den een og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, kom Herrens Ord ved Profeten Haggaj, saaledes:
2 “Now speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
Sig dog til Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, Judas Landshøvding, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og til det overblevne Folk saalunde:
3 Who among you has been left that saw this house in its former glory? And what are you seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?
Hvo iblandt eder er tilbage, som har set dette Hus i dets første Herlighed? og hvorledes se I det nu? er det ikke imod hint som intet for eders Øjne?
4 And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel,” A declaration of YHWH, “And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all you people of the land,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do, for I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Dog nu, vær frimodig, Serubabel! siger Herren, og vær frimodig, Josua, Jozadaks Søn, du Ypperstepræst! og vær frimodig, alt Folk i Landet! siger Herren, og arbejder; thi jeg er med eder, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
5 “The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, do not fear.”
Ordet i min Pagt med eder, der I droge ud af Ægypten, og min Aand vedbliver at være midt iblandt eder; frygter ikke!
6 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Yet once more—it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,
Thi saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Endnu en Gang, om en liden Stund, vil jeg ryste Himlene og Jorden og Havet og det tørre Land.
7 And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] glory,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Og jeg vil ryste alle Folkene, og alle Folkenes Kostbarheder skulle komme; og jeg vil fylde dette Hus med Herlighed, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
8 “The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Mig hører Sølvet til, mig hører Guldet til, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
9 “Greater is the glory of this latter house, Than of the former,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I give peace in this place,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Dette Hus's sidste Herlighed skal blive større end den første, siger den Herre Zebaoth; og jeg vil give Fred paa dette Sted, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Paa den fire og tyvende Dag i den niende Maaned, i Darius's andet Aar, kom Herrens Ord ved Profeten Haggaj, saaledes:
11 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of the Law, saying,
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Spørg dog Præsterne om Loven, og sig:
12 Behold, [when] one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he has come with his skirt against the bread, or against the stew, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food—is it holy?” And the priests answer and say, “No.”
Se, naar nogen bærer helligt Kød i sin Kjortelflig og rører med sin Flig ved Brød eller ved noget kogt eller ved Vin eller ved Olie eller ved Mad, i hvad Slags det end er, mon det helliges derved? Og Præsterne svarede og sagde: Nej.
13 And Haggai says, “If the unclean of body comes against any of these, is it unclean?” And the priests answer and say, “It is unclean.”
Da sagde Haggaj: Dersom nogen, der er uren ved Lig, rører ved een af alle disse Ting, mon den bliver uren? Og Præsterne svarede og sagde: Den bliver uren.
14 And Haggai answers and says, “So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there—it is unclean.
Da svarede Haggaj og sagde: Saaledes er dette Folk, og saaledes er dette Folkefærd for mit Ansigt, siger Herren, og saaledes er al deres Hænders Gerning; og hvad de ofre der, det er urent.
15 And now, please lay [it] to your heart, From this day and onward, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of YHWH.
Og nu, giver Agt paa Tiden fra denne Dag og tilbage, førend der blev lagt Sten paa Sten til Herrens Tempel:
16 From that time [one] has come to a heap of twenty, And it has been ten, He has come to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, And it has been twenty.
Førend dette skete, kom da nogen til en Kornhob, der skulde give tyve Maal, saa blev der ti; kom man til Persen for at øse halvtredsindstyve Spande, saa blev der tyve.
17 I have struck you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail—All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
Med Brand og Rust i Kornet og med Hagel slog jeg eder, ja, al eders Hænders Gerning; men I vendte ikke om til mig, siger Herren.
18 “Now set [it] to your heart, from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of YHWH has been founded, set [it] to your heart.
Giver dog Agt paa Tiden fra denne Dag og tilbage, fra den fire og tyvende Dag i den niende Maaned, ja, endog fra den Dag, da Grundvolden til Herrens Tempel blev lagt, giver Agt!
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? And until now the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne—from this day I bless.”
Mon der endnu er Korn i Laden? ja, selv Vintræet og Figentræet og Granatæbletræet og Olietræet har intet baaret; men fra denne Dag af vil jeg velsigne.
20 And there is a word of YHWH a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom anden Gang til Haggaj, paa den fire og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, saaledes:
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
Sig til Serubabel, Judas Landshøvding: Jeg vil ryste Himmelen og Jorden,
22 And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And horses and their riders have come down, Each by the sword of his brother.
og jeg vil omkaste Rigernes Troner og ødelægge Hedningernes Rigers Styrke; og jeg vil omkaste Vogne og dem, som fare paa dem, og Heste, og de, som ride paa dem, skulle styrte, den ene ved den andens Sværd.
23 In that day,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,” A declaration of YHWH, “And have set you as a signet, For I have fixed on you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
Paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, vil jeg tage dig, Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, min Tjener, siger Herren, og agte dig som Signetringen; thi dig har jeg udvalgt, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
