Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua son of Josedech, 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 Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! — they have said, 'The time hath not come, The time the house of Jehovah [is] to be built.'
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: قَدْ قَالَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ لَمْ يَحِنْ بَعْدُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ». | ٢ |
3 And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ قَائِلاً: | ٣ |
4 Is it time for you — you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?
| «هَلْ حَانَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تُقِيمُونَ فِي بُيُوتٍ مُغَشَّاةٍ بِأَلْوَاحٍ بَيْنَمَا هَذَا الْبَيْتُ مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً؟» | ٤ |
5 And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your ways.
| وَالآنَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٥ |
6 Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.
| 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 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٧ |
8 Go up the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said Jehovah.
| اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَاجْلِبُوا خَشَباً وَشَيِّدُوا الْهَيْكَلَ فَأَرْضَى عَنْهُ وَأَتَمَجَّدَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ٨ |
9 Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought [it] home, and I blew on it, Wherefore? — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running — each to his 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, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.
| لِذَلِكَ مَنَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقُ عَنْكُمُ النَّدَى، وَمَنَعَتِ الأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا. | ١٠ |
11 And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all 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 And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah.
| 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 And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: 'I [am] with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
| ثُمَّ أَبْلَغَ حَجَّي رَسُولُ الرَّبِّ، الشَّعْبَ رِسَالَةَ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٣ |
14 And Jehovah doth stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and do work in the house of Jehovah 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 and fourth day of 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 |
