Agej 1
1 Druge godine cara Darija šestoga mjeseca prvoga dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka Zorovavelju sinu Salatilovu, upravitelju Judejskom, i Isusu sinu Josedekovu, poglavaru sveštenièkom, govoreæi:
In the second year of the reign of Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, stating
2 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: taj narod govori: još nije došlo vrijeme, vrijeme da se sazida dom Gospodnji.
that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”
3 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 Je li vama vrijeme da sjedite u kuæama svojim obloženijem daskama, a ovaj je dom pust?
“Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?”
5 Zato sada ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
6 Sijete mnogo, a uvozite malo; jedete, a ne bivate siti; pijete, a ne napijate se; odijevate se, a nijedan ne može da se zgrije; i koji zaslužuje novce, meæe ih u prodrt tobolac.
You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
7 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
8 Idite na goru, i donesite drva, te zidajte dom; i biæe mi milo, i proslaviæu se, veli Gospod.
Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.
9 Izgledate mnogo, a eto malo; i što unesete u kuæu, ja razduham; zašto? veli Gospod nad vojskama; zato što je dom moj pust, a vi svaki trèite za svoj dom.
You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.
10 Zato se zatvori nebo nad vama da nema rose, i zemlja se zatvori da nema roda njezina.
Therefore, on account of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth has withheld its crops.
11 I dozvah sušu na zemlju, i na gore, i na žito i na vino i na ulje i na sve što zemlja raða, i na ljude i na stoku i na svaki rad ruèni.
I have summoned a drought on the fields and on the mountains, on the grain, new wine, and oil, and on whatever the ground yields, on man and beast, and on all the labor of your hands.”
12 I posluša Zorovavelj sin Salatilov i Isus sin Josedekov, poglavar sveštenièki, i sav ostatak narodni glas Gospoda Boga svojega i rijeèi proroka Ageja, kako ga posla Gospod Bog njihov, i poboja se narod Gospoda.
Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. So the people feared the LORD.
13 I govori Agej, poslanik Gospodnji, narodu kao što ga posla Gospod, i reèe: ja sam s vama, govori Gospod.
Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, delivered the message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.
14 I Gospod podiže duh Zorovavelju sinu Salatilovu, upravitelju Judejskom, i duh Isusu sinu Josedekovu, poglavaru sveštenièkom, i duh svemu ostatku narodnom, te doðoše i radiše u domu Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga svojega,
So the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began the work on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,
15 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana šestoga mjeseca, druge godine cara Darija.
on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius.
