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 Darius the king, on the first day of the sixth month, this message from the Lord came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the 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 of hosts says: The people say that the time has not yet come to rebuild the temple of the Lord.
3 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
Then this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
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 own well-roofed houses, while this temple lies in ruins?
5 Zato sada ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
The Lord of hosts says: Consider your past experiences.
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 sow much, but bring in little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but are not filled; you clothe yourselves, but not enough to be warm; and those who earn wages, put those wages in a bag with holes.
7 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
The Lord of hosts says: Consider your experiences.
8 Idite na goru, i donesite drva, te zidajte dom; i biæe mi milo, i proslaviæu se, veli Gospod.
Go up to the mountains, and bring wood and rebuild the temple; then I will be pleased with it, and I will reveal my glory. The Lord says:
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 looked for much, and it came to little; and when you brought the harvest home, I blew it away. Why? The Lord of hosts says: Because my temple lies in ruins, while you shelter in your own houses.
10 Zato se zatvori nebo nad vama da nema rose, i zemlja se zatvori da nema roda njezina.
The heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit,
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.
and I have called forth a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the grain and the new wine and the oil and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon people and animals, and upon 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 the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high priest, with all the rest of the people, obeyed the command of the Lord their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him to them. They showed proper respect for the Lord.
13 I govori Agej, poslanik Gospodnji, narodu kao što ga posla Gospod, i reèe: ja sam s vama, govori Gospod.
Haggai, the prophet of the Lord, as the Lord commanded him, told the people: “The Lord says: I am with you.”
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,
And 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 rest of the people, so that they came and worked on the temple of the Lord of hosts, their God,
