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, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, saying:
2 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: taj narod govori: još nije došlo vrijeme, vrijeme da se sazida dom Gospodnji.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
3 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
4 Je li vama vrijeme da sjedite u kuæama svojim obloženijem daskama, a ovaj je dom pust?
Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?
5 Zato sada ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.
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 sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.
7 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set Your hearts upon your ways:
8 Idite na goru, i donesite drva, te zidajte dom; i biæe mi milo, i proslaviæu se, veli Gospod.
Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith 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 have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts? because my house is desolate, and you make haste every man to his own house.
10 Zato se zatvori nebo nad vama da nema rose, i zemlja se zatvori da nema roda njezina.
Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
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 called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon beasts, and upon all the labour of the 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 Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and all the remnant of the people hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the Lord.
13 I govori Agej, poslanik Gospodnji, narodu kao što ga posla Gospod, i reèe: ja sam s vama, govori Gospod.
And Aggeus the messenger of the Lord, as one of the messengers of the Lord, spoke, saying to the people: I am with you, saith 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,
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
15 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana šestoga mjeseca, druge godine cara Darija.
In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
