Agej 2

1 Sedmoga mjeseca dvadeset prvoga dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:

2 Kaži sada Zorovavelju sinu Salatilovu, upravitelju Judejskom, i Isusu sinu Josedekovu, poglavaru sveštenièkom, i ostatku narodnom govoreæi:

'Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:

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 that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is not such a one as nothing in your eyes?

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.

Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work; for I am with you, saith 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.

The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye not.

6 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: još jednom, domalo, i ja æu potresti nebesa i zemlju i more i suhu zemlju;

For thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and 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.

and I will shake all nations, and the choicest things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

8 Moje je srebro i moje je zlato, govori Gospod nad vojskama.

Mine is the silver, and Mine the gold, saith 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 glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the LORD of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.'

10 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:

In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:

11 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: upitaj sveštenike za zakon, i reci:

'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests for instruction, saying:

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 one bear hallowed flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be holy?' And the priests answered and said: 'No.'

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.

Then said Haggai: 'If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?' And the priests answered and said: 'It shall be unclean.'

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 answered Haggai, and said: 'So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

15 A sada uzmite na um, od ovoga dana nazad, prije nego se položi kamen na kamen u crkvi Gospodnjoj,

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and forward — before a stone was laid upon a stone 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;

through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw out fifty press-measures, 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 smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye turned not to Me, saith 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, I pray you, from this day and forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it;

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 the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree hath not brought forth — from this day will I bless you.'

20 Potom doðe rijeè Gospodnja drugi put Ageju dvadeset èetvrtoga dana mjeseca govoreæi:

And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:

21 Kaži Zorovavelju upravitelju Judejskom, i reci: ja æu potresti nebo i zemlju;

'Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will 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.

and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one 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.

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.'
