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,
Paa den een og tyvende Dag i den syvende Maaned 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 til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og til Resten af Folket saaledes:
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?
Er der nogen tilbage iblandt eder af dem, der har set dette Hus i dets fordums Herlighed? Hvorledes tykkes det eder da nu? Er det ikke som intet i 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 vær kun trøstig, Zerubbabel, lyder det fra HERREN, vær kun trøstig, du Ypperstepræst Josua, Jozadaks Søn, vær kun trøstigt, alt Folket i Landet, lyder det fra HERREN. Arbejd kun, thi jeg er med eder, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE,
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.”
og min Aand bliver iblandt eder med den Pagt, jeg sluttede med eder, da I drog bort fra Ægypten; frygt 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 Hærskarers HERRE: Endnu en Gang om en liden Stund vil jeg ryste Himmel og Jord, Hav og tørt 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 da skal alle Folkenes Skatte komme hid, og jeg fylder dette Hus med Herlighed, siger Hærskarers HERRE.
8 “The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Mit er Sølvet, og mit er Guldet, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
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 kommende Herlighed bliver større end den tidligere, siger Hærskarers HERRE, og paa dette Sted vil jeg give Fred, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
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 Regeringsaar kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
11 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of the Law, saying,
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Bed Præsterne om Svar paa følgende Spørgsmaal:
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.”
»Dersom en Mand bærer helligt Kød i sin Kappeflig og med Fligen rører ved Brød eller noget, som er kogt, eller ved Vin eller Olie eller nogen Slags Mad, bliver disse Ting saa hellige?« Præsterne svarede 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.”
Haggaj spurgte da: »Hvis en, som er blevet uren ved Lig, rører ved nogen af disse Ting, bliver den saa uren?« Præsterne svarede ja.
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.
Saa tog Haggaj til Orde og sagde: Saaledes er det i mine Øjne med disse Mennesker, saaledes med dette Folk, lyder det fra HERREN, og saaledes med alt deres Hænders Værk og med, hvad de ofrer 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.
Men læg nu Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar fra i Dag! Før Sten lagdes paa Sten i HERRENS Hus,
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.
hvorledes gik det eder da? Naar man kom til en Dynge Korn paa tyve Maal, var der ti; og kom man til en Vinperse for at øse halvtredsindstyve Maal af Kummen, var 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.
Jeg slog eder med Kornbrand, Rust og Hagl ved alt eders Arbejde, men I omvendte eder ikke til mig, lyder det fra 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.
Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar fra i Dag, fra den fire og tyvende Dag i den niende Maaned, fra den Dag Grunden lagdes til HERRENS Hus, læg Mærke dertil!
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.”
Er Sæden endnu i Laderne, staar Vinstokken, Figentræet, Granatæbletræet og Oliventræet endnu uden Frugt? Fra i Dag velsigner jeg.
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 for 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 Judas Statholder Zerubbabel: Jeg ryster 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 omstyrter Kongernes Troner, tilintetgør Hedningerigernes Styrke og vælter Stridsvognene med deres Førere, og Heste og Ryttere skal styrte, og den ene skal falde for 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 hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, tager jeg dig, min Tjener Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, lyder det fra HERREN, og gør dig til en Seglring; thi dig har jeg udvalgt, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE.
