Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
I Kong Darius's andet Regeringsaar paa den første Dag i den sjette Maaned kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes: Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn:
2 “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for Yahweh’s house to be built.’”
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Dette Folk siger: »Endnu er det ikke Tid at bygge HERRENS Hus.«
3 Then Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Og HERRENS Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj saaledes:
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
Er det da Tid for eder at bo i Huse med træklædte Vægge, naar dette Hus ligger øde?
5 Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways.
Derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar eder!
6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.’
I saar meget, men bringer lidet i Hus; I spiser, men mættes ikke; I drikker, men faar ikke Tørsten slukket; I klæder eder paa, men bliver ikke varme; og Daglejerens Løn gaar i en hullet Pung.
7 “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det gaar eder!
8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh.
Gaa op i Bjergene, hent Tømmer og byg Templet, saa jeg kan have Glæde deraf og blive æret, siger HERREN.
9 “You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
I venter rig Høst, men det bliver kun til lidt; og naar I bringer det i Hus, blæser jeg derpaa. Hvorfor? lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Fordi mit Hus ligger øde, medens enhver af eder har travlt med sit eget Hus.
10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
Derfor holder Himmelen sin Dug og Jorden sin Afgrøde tilbage;
11 I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground produces, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”
og jeg har kaldt Tørke hid over Land og Bjerge, over Korn, Most og Olie, over alt, hvad Jorden frembringer, over Folk og Fæ, over alt, hvad Hænder virker.
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed Yahweh their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God had sent him; and the people feared Yahweh.
Og Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og hele Resten af Folket adlød HERREN deres Guds Røst og Profeten Haggajs Ord, eftersom HERREN havde sendt ham til dem, og Folket frygtede HERREN.
13 Then Haggai, Yahweh’s messenger, spoke Yahweh’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says Yahweh.
Da sagde Haggaj, HERRENS Sendebud, i HERRENS Ærinde til Folket: Jeg er med eder, lyder det fra HERREN.
14 Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yahweh of Armies, their God,
Og HERREN vakte Aanden i Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og i Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og i hele Resten af Folket, saa de kom og tog fat paa Arbejdet med deres Guds, Hærskarers HERRES, Hus
15 in 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 den sjette Maaned i Kong Darius's andet Regeringsaar.
