Haggai 1
1 [I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
Друге године цара Дарија шестог месеца првог дана дође реч Господња преко Агеја пророка Зоровавељу сину Салатиловом, управитељу јудејском, и Исусу сину Јоседековом, поглавару свештеничком, говорећи:
2 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
Овако вели Господ над војскама говорећи: Тај народ говори: Још није дошло време, време да се сазида дом Господњи.
3 Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
За то дође реч Господња преко Агеја пророка говорећи:
4 “It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
Је ли вама време да седите у кућама својим обложеним даскама, а овај је дом пуст?
5 [I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
Зато сада овако вели Господ над војскама: Узмите на ум путеве своје.
6 You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
Сејете много, а увозите мало; једете, а не бивате сити; пијете, а не напијате се; одевате се а ни један не може да се згреје; и који заслужује новце, меће их у продрт тоболац.
7 [So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
Овако вели Господ над војскама: Узмите на ум путеве своје.
8 [Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
Идите на гору, и донесите дрва, те зидајте дом; и биће ми мило, и прославићу се, вели Господ.
9 You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
Изгледате много, а ето мало; и шта унесете у кућу, ја раздувам; зашто? Вели Господ над војскама; зато што је дом мој пуст, а ви сваки трчите за свој дом.
10 It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
Зато се затвори небо над вама да нема росе, и земља се затвори да нема рода њеног.
11 I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
И дозвах сушу на земљу, и на горе, и на жито и на вино и на уље и на све што земља рађа, и на људе и на стоку и на сваки рад ручни.
12 Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
И послуша Зоровавељ син Салатилов и Исус син Јоседеков, поглавар свештенички, и сав остатак народни глас Господа Бога свог и речи пророка Агеја, како га посла Господ Бог њихов, и побоја се народ Господа.
13 Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
И говори Агеј, посланик Господњи, народу као што га посла Господ, и рече: Ја сам с вама, говори Господ.
14 [So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
И Господ подиже дух Зоровавељу сину Салатиловом, управитељу јудејском, и дух Исусу сину Јоседековом, поглавару свештеничком, и дух свему остатку народном, те дођоше и радише у дому Господа над војскама, Бога свог,
15 [They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
Двадесет четвртог дана шестог месеца, друге године цара Дарија.
