Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came 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 “Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and to the remnant of the people. Say,
Sig dog til Serubabel, Sealthiels Søn, Judas Landshøvding, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og til det overblevne Folk saalunde:
3 'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not like 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 Now, be strong, Zerubbabel!—this is Yahweh's declaration— and be strong, high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak; and be strong, all you people in the land!—this is Yahweh's declaration— and work, for I am with you!—this is the declaration of Yahweh 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 This is the covenant that I established with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit remains with you. 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 Yahweh of hosts says this: In a little while I will once again shake the heavens and the earth, 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 I will shake every nation, and every nation will bring their precious things to me, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh 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 and gold are mine!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
Mig hører Sølvet til, mig hører Guldet til, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
9 The glory of this house will be greater in the future than at the beginning, says Yahweh of hosts, and I will give peace in this place!—this is the declaration of Yahweh 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 day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came by 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 “Yahweh of hosts says this: Ask the priests concerning the law, and say,
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Spørg dog Præsterne om Loven, og sig:
12 'If a man carries meat that is set apart to Yahweh in the fold of his garment, and the fold touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?'” The priests answered and said, “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 Then Haggai said, “If someone who is unclean because of death touches any of these things, do they become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “Yes, they become 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 So Haggai answered and said, “So it is with this people and this nation before me!—this is Yahweh's declaration—and so it is with everything done by their hands. What they offer to me 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 So now, think in your minds about the past leading up to this very day. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of Yahweh,
Og nu, giver Agt paa Tiden fra denne Dag og tilbage, førend der blev lagt Sten paa Sten til Herrens Tempel:
16 how was it then? When you came to a heap of twenty measures of grain, there were only ten; and when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, there were only 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 afflicted you and all the work of your hands with blight and mildew, but you still did not turn to me—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 Consider from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Yahweh's temple was laid. Consider it!
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 there still seed in the storehouse? The vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not produced! But from this day will I bless you!”
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 Then the word of Yahweh came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month and said,
Og Herrens Ord kom anden Gang til Haggaj, paa den fire og tyvende Dag i Maaneden, saaledes:
21 “Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, and say, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.
Sig til Serubabel, Judas Landshøvding: Jeg vil ryste Himmelen og Jorden,
22 For I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations! I will overthrow the chariots and their riders; the horses and their riders will fall down, each one because of his brother's sword.
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 On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, as my servant—this is Yahweh's declaration. I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you! —this is the declaration of Yahweh 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.
