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 king Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
2 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: taj narod govori: još nije došlo vrijeme, vrijeme da se sazida dom Gospodnji.
The Lord Almighty says this: the people say, “This isn't the proper time to rebuild the Lord's house.”
3 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
Then the Lord sent a message through the prophet Haggai, saying,
4 Je li vama vrijeme da sjedite u kuæama svojim obloženijem daskama, a ovaj je dom pust?
Is it the proper time for you to live in your paneled houses while this house remains a ruin?
5 Zato sada ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
So the Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!
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 sown much but harvested little. You eat but you're still hungry. You drink but you're still thirsty. You put on clothes but you're still cold. You work hard to earn money but put it in a bag full of holes.
7 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
The Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!
8 Idite na goru, i donesite drva, te zidajte dom; i biæe mi milo, i proslaviæu se, veli Gospod.
Go into the hills and bring wood to build the house. This will please me and honor me, 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 were hoping for so much, but look, it turned out to be so little. Everything you brought home I blew away. And why was that? Because my house remains a ruin while you are preoccupied with building your own houses, declares the Lord Almighty.
10 Zato se zatvori nebo nad vama da nema rose, i zemlja se zatvori da nema roda njezina.
That's why the clouds of heaven refused to send rain, and the earth refused to produce 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 called for a drought on the land, on the hills, on the grain fields, on the vineyards, and on the olive groves—on whatever the earth produces—and on people and livestock, on everything you do!
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, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, together with all the remaining people, paid attention to what the Lord said, and to the words of Haggai the prophet that the Lord their God had sent. The people showed reverence before the Lord.
13 I govori Agej, poslanik Gospodnji, narodu kao što ga posla Gospod, i reèe: ja sam s vama, govori Gospod.
Then Haggai, the Lord's messenger, delivered this message from the Lord telling the people, I am with you! says 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,
The Lord inspired Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remaining people. They came and began work on the house of the Lord Almighty.
15 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana šestoga mjeseca, druge godine cara Darija.
This happened on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of the reign of king Darius.
