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.
Во второй год царя Дария, в шестой месяц, в первый день месяца, было слово Господне через Аггея, пророка, к Зоровавелю, сыну Салафиилеву, правителю Иудеи, и к Иисусу, сыну Иоседекову, великому иерею:
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.
так сказал Господь Саваоф: народ сей говорит: “не пришло еще время, не время строить дом Господень”.
3 Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
И было слово Господне через Аггея, пророка:
4 “It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
а вам самим время жить в домах ваших украшенных, тогда как дом сей в запустении?
5 [I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
Посему ныне так говорит Господь Саваоф: обратите сердце ваше на пути ваши.
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.”
Вы сеете много, а собираете мало; едите, но не в сытость; пьете, но не напиваетесь; одеваетесь, а не согреваетесь; зарабатывающий плату зарабатывает для дырявого кошелька.
7 [So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
Так говорит Господь Саваоф: обратите сердце ваше на пути ваши.
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.
Взойдите на гору и носите дерева, и стройте храм; и Я буду благоволить к нему, и прославлюсь, говорит Господь.
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.
Ожидаете многого, а выходит мало; и что принесете домой, то Я развею. - За что? Говорит Господь Саваоф: за Мой дом, который в запустении, тогда как вы бежите, каждый к своему дому.
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.
Посему-то небо заключилось и не дает вам росы, и земля не дает своих произведений.
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 Я призвал засуху на землю, на горы, на хлеб, на виноградный сок, на елей и на все, что производит земля, и на человека, и на скот, и на всякий ручной труд.
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 послушались Зоровавель, сын Салафиилев, и Иисус, сын Иоседеков, и весь прочий народ гласа Господа Бога своего и слов Аггея, пророка, как посланного Господом Богом их, и народ убоялся 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.”
Тогда Аггей, вестник Господень, посланный от Господа, сказал к народу: Я с вами! говорит Господь.
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 возбудил Господь дух Зоровавеля, сына Салафиилева, правителя Иудеи, и дух Иисуса, сына Иоседекова, великого иерея, и дух всего остатка народа, и они пришли, и стали производить работы в доме Господа Саваофа, Бога своего,
15 [They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
в двадцать четвертый день шестого месяца, во второй год царя Дария.
