Agej 2
1 Sedmoga mjeseca dvadeset prvoga dana doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
On October 17 [of that year], Yahweh gave [me], the prophet Haggai, [another] message.
2 Kaži sada Zorovavelju sinu Salatilovu, upravitelju Judejskom, i Isusu sinu Josedekovu, poglavaru sveštenièkom, i ostatku narodnom govoreæi:
[The message was that I should] say this to Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and to the other people who were still alive [in Jerusalem]:
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?
“Do any of you remember how glorious our former temple was? [If you do, ] what does it look like to you now? It must seem like nothing at all.
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 the Commander of the armies of angels says to [all of you], to Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of you people who live in this nation, ‘[Do not be discouraged; ] be strong [DOU], and work [to build this new temple], because I will (be with/help) you.
5 Po rijeèi kojom sam uèinio zavjet s vama kad izidoste iz Misira, duh æe moj stajati meðu vama, ne bojte se.
My Spirit remains among you, like I promised your [ancestors] when they left Egypt. [So] 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;
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Soon I will shake the sky and the earth, the oceans and the land again.
7 I potrešæu sve narode, i doæi æe izabrani iz svijeh naroda, i napuniæu ovaj dom slave, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
I will shake [again the people of] all the nations, and as a result they will bring their treasures [to this temple]. I will fill this temple with [my] glory.
8 Moje je srebro i moje je zlato, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
The silver and the gold [that they own] are [really] mine, [so they will bring them to me].
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.
[Then] this temple will be more glorious than the former/previous [temple was]. And I will cause things to go well for you all. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
10 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
On December 18 of that year, Yahweh gave [another] message to [me], the prophet Haggai.
11 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: upitaj sveštenike za zakon, i reci:
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels said to me: “Ask the priests [this question] about what is written in the laws [of Moses about sacrifices]:
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 [of you priests takes from the altar some] meat that was sacrificed and is carrying it in his robes, if his robe touches [some] bread or stew or wine or [olive] oil or some other food, does that food also become (holy/acceptable for a sacrifice)?’” [When he said that to] the priests, they replied, “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 Haggai asked them, “If someone becomes unacceptable to God by touching a corpse, and [then he] touches any of those foods, will the food [also] become unacceptable to God?” The priests replied, “Yes.”
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, “Yahweh says [this]: ‘It is the same with you people and with this nation. Everything that you do and [all the sacrifices] that you all offer are unacceptable to me [because of the sins that you have committed].
15 A sada uzmite na um, od ovoga dana nazad, prije nego se položi kamen na kamen u crkvi Gospodnjoj,
Think about what has been happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of my temple.
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;
When you expected [to harvest] 20 bushels [of grain, you harvested] only ten bushels. When someone went to a [big] wine vat to get 50 gallons [of wine], there were only 20 [gallons in the vat].
17 Bih vas sušom i medljikom i gradom, svako djelo ruku vaših; ali se vi ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
I sent (blight/hot winds) and mildew and hail to destroy all your crops. But still you did not return to me.
18 Uzmite na um, od toga dana nazad, od dana dvadeset èetvrtoga mjeseca devetoga, od dana kad se osnova crkva Gospodnja, uzmite na um.
Starting from this day, December 18, the day when [you] have laid the foundation of my [new] temple, continue to think carefully [about your situation].
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 now [RHQ] [any grain] seed left in your barns? [No, because you have eaten the small amount that you harvested]. And there is no fruit on your grapevines and fig trees and pomegranate [trees] and olive trees. But, from now on, I will bless you!’”
20 Potom doðe rijeè Gospodnja drugi put Ageju dvadeset èetvrtoga dana mjeseca govoreæi:
On that same day, Yahweh gave another message to me.
21 Kaži Zorovavelju upravitelju Judejskom, i reci: ja æu potresti nebo i zemlju;
[He said, ] “Tell Zerubbabel the governor of Judah that I am going to shake the sky 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 end the power of the kings of [many] nations [DOU]. I will cause their chariots and their drivers, their horses and [the soldiers] who are riding on them to be destroyed. [What will happen is that I will cause the soldiers] to kill each other with their swords.
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.
Zerubbabel, you serve [me well]. So [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, declare that [like kings wear] signet rings [to show that they have authority to rule people], I will appoint you and cause you [to have authority to rule]. I will do that because I have chosen you. [That will surely happen because I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.”
