Agej 2
1 Sedmoga mjeseca dvadeset prvoga dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:
2 Kaži sada Zorovavelju sinu Salatilovu, upravitelju Judejskom, i Isusu sinu Josedekovu, poglavaru sveštenièkom, i ostatku narodnom govoreæi:
“Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and also to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
3 Ko je meðu vama ostao koji je vidio ovaj dom u prvoj slavi njegovoj? a kakav vi sada vidite? nije li prema onom kao ništa u vašim oèima?
‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not appear to you like nothing in comparison?’
4 Nego sada budi hrabar, Zorovavelju, govori Gospod, i budi hrabar Isuse sine Josedekov, poglavaru sveštenièki, i budi hrabar sav narode zemaljski, govori Gospod, i radite; jer sam ja s vama, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work! For I am with you, declares the LORD of Hosts.
5 Po rijeèi kojom sam uèinio zavjet s vama kad izidoste iz Misira, duh æe moj stajati meðu vama, ne bojte se.
This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt. And My Spirit remains among you; do not be afraid.”
6 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: još jednom, domalo, i ja æu potresti nebesa i zemlju i more i suhu zemlju;
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 I potrešæu sve narode, i doæi æe izabrani iz svijeh naroda, i napuniæu ovaj dom slave, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.
8 Moje je srebro i moje je zlato, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares the LORD of Hosts.
9 Slava æe ovoga doma pošljednjega biti veæa nego onoga prvoga, veli Gospod nad vojskama; i postaviæu mir na ovom mjestu, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the LORD of Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
10 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: upitaj sveštenike za zakon, i reci:
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Ask the priests for a ruling.
12 Gle, ako bi ko nosio sveto meso u skutu od haljine svoje, ili bi se skutom svojim dotakao hljeba ili variva ili vina ili ulja ili kakoga god jela, bi li se osvetio? A sveštenici odgovoriše i rekoše: ne.
If a man carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does that item become holy?’” “No,” replied the priests.
13 Potom reèe Agej: ako bi se ko neèist od mrtvaca dotakao èega toga, hoæe li biti neèisto? A sveštenici odgovoriše i rekoše: biæe neèisto.
So Haggai asked, “If one who is defiled by contact with a corpse touches any of these, does it become defiled?” “Yes, it becomes defiled,” the priests answered.
14 Tada Agej odgovori i reèe: taki je taj narod i taki su ti ljudi preda mnom, govori Gospod, i tako je sve djelo ruku njihovijeh, i što god prinose tamo, neèisto je.
Then Haggai replied, “So it is with this people and this nation before Me, declares the LORD, and so it is with every work of their hands; whatever they offer there is defiled.
15 A sada uzmite na um, od ovoga dana nazad, prije nego se položi kamen na kamen u crkvi Gospodnjoj,
Now consider carefully from this day forward: Before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD,
16 Prije toga kad ko doðe ka gomili od dvadeset mjera, bješe deset; kad doðe ka kaci da dobije pedeset vjedara iz kace, bješe dvadeset;
from that time, when one came expecting a heap of twenty ephahs of grain, there were but ten. When one came to the winepress to draw out fifty baths, there were but twenty.
17 Bih vas sušom i medljikom i gradom, svako djelo ruku vaših; ali se vi ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
I struck you—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares the LORD.
18 Uzmite na um, od toga dana nazad, od dana dvadeset èetvrtoga mjeseca devetoga, od dana kad se osnova crkva Gospodnja, uzmite na um.
Consider carefully from this day forward—from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid—consider carefully:
19 Ima li jošte sjemena u žitnici? ni vinova loza ni smokva ni šipak ni maslina još ne rodi; od ovoga æu dana blagosloviti.
Is there still seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet yielded fruit. But from this day on, I will bless you.”
20 Potom doðe rijeè Gospodnja drugi put Ageju dvadeset èetvrtoga dana mjeseca govoreæi:
For the second time that day, the twenty-fourth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to Haggai, saying,
21 Kaži Zorovavelju upravitelju Judejskom, i reci: ja æu potresti nebo i zemlju;
“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am about to shake the heavens and the earth:
22 I prevaliæu prijesto carstvima, i satræu silu carstvima narodnijem, prevaliæu kola i one koji sjede na njima, i popadaæe konji i konjici, svaki od maèa brata svojega.
I will overturn royal thrones and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overturn chariots and their riders; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.
23 U to vrijeme, govori Gospod nad vojskama, uzeæu tebe, Zorovavelju, sine Salatilov, slugo moj, govori Gospod, i postaviæu te kao peèat; jer sam te izabrao, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will take you, My servant, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, declares the LORD, and I will make you like My signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
