Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’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,
| فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ الْمَلِكِ، فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ (أَيْ شَهْرِ آبِ – أُغُسْطُسَ)، بَعَثَ الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةِ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمِ يَهُوذَا، وَإِلَى يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ قَائِلاً: | ١ |
2 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for the LORD’s house to be built.’”
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: قَدْ قَالَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ لَمْ يَحِنْ بَعْدُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ». | ٢ |
3 Then the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ قَائِلاً: | ٣ |
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your panelled houses, while this house lies waste?
| «هَلْ حَانَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تُقِيمُونَ فِي بُيُوتٍ مُغَشَّاةٍ بِأَلْوَاحٍ بَيْنَمَا هَذَا الْبَيْتُ مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً؟» | ٤ |
5 Now therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Consider your ways.
| وَالآنَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٥ |
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.’
| لَقَدْ زَرَعْتُمْ كَثِيراً وَحَصَدْتُمْ قَلِيلاً. أَكَلْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَشْبَعُوا. شَرِبْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَرْتَوُوا. اكْتَسَيْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْتَدْفِئُوا. وَالَّذِي يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً سَرْعَانَ مَا تَتَبَدَّدُ أُجْرَتُهُ، وَكَأَنَّهَا وُضِعَتْ فِي صُرَّةٍ مَثْقُوبَةٍ». | ٦ |
7 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Consider your ways.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٧ |
8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says the LORD.
| اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَاجْلِبُوا خَشَباً وَشَيِّدُوا الْهَيْكَلَ فَأَرْضَى عَنْهُ وَأَتَمَجَّدَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ٨ |
9 “You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of Hosts, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
| لَقَدْ تَوَقَّعْتُمْ كَثِيراً فَحَصَلْتُمْ عَلَى قَلِيلٍ، وَمَا أَتَيْتُمْ بِهِ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ مِنْ غَلَّةٍ نَفَخْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَبَدَّدْتُهُ. لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ؟ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَيْتِي الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً بَيْنَمَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِهِ. | ٩ |
10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
| لِذَلِكَ مَنَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقُ عَنْكُمُ النَّدَى، وَمَنَعَتِ الأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا. | ١٠ |
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 labour of the hands.”
| وَقَضَيْتُ بِالْقَحْطِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَالتِّلالِ، وَعَلَى حُقُولِ الْحِنْطَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ، وَأَشْجَارِ الزَّيْتُونِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ الأَرْضُ، وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَعَبِ أَيْدِيكُمْ». | ١١ |
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the LORD their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared the LORD.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَطَاعَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَيَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَسَائِرُ بَقِيَّةِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَاسْتَمَعُوا إِلَى كَلِمَاتِ حَجَّيِ النَّبِيِّ، كَمَا بَعَثَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَاعْتَرَى الْخَوْفُ الشَّعْبَ فِي مَحْضَرِ اللهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the LORD.
| ثُمَّ أَبْلَغَ حَجَّي رَسُولُ الرَّبِّ، الشَّعْبَ رِسَالَةَ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٣ |
14 The LORD 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 the LORD of Hosts, their God,
| وَبَثَّ الرَّبُّ الْهِمَّةَ فِي نَفْسِ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمِ يَهُوذَا وَنَفْسِ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَنُفُوسِ سَائِرِ بَقِيَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَتَوَافَدُوا وَبَاشَرُوا الْعَمَلَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
| وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ دَارِيُّوسَ. | ١٥ |
