Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua 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 Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dette Folk, de sige: Tiden er ikke kommen, Tiden til at bygge Herrens Hus.
3 Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Og Herrens Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj, saaledes:
4 Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
Er det Tid for eder at bo i eders panelede Huse, medens dette Hus er øde?
5 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
Og nu, saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
6 Ye have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, —and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into 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 Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Giver Agt paa eders Veje!
8 Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
Gaar op paa Bjerget, og henter Tømmer, og bygger Huset, saa vil jeg have Behag deri og bevise mig herlig, siger Herren.
9 When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, — Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running 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 Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back her fruit;
Derfor lukke Himlene sig til over eder, saa at de ikke give Dug, og Jorden har tilbageholdt sin Grøde.
11 And I have called for 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 beast, 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 Then hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, —and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.
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 spake Haggai the messenger of Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
Da sagde Haggaj, Herrens Sendebud, som Budskab fra Herren til Folket, saaledes: Jeg er med eder, siger Herren.
14 Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, —and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh 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 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in 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.
