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, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua son of Josedech, 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 spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! — they have said, 'The time hath not come, The time the house of Jehovah [is] to be built.'
3 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreæi:
And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai 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 — you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?
5 Zato sada ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to 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.
Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.
7 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: uzmite na um putove svoje.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways.
8 Idite na goru, i donesite drva, te zidajte dom; i biæe mi milo, i proslaviæu se, veli Gospod.
Go up the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said Jehovah.
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.
Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought [it] home, and I blew on it, Wherefore? — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running — each to his house,
10 Zato se zatvori nebo nad vama da nema rose, i zemlja se zatvori da nema roda njezina.
Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.
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 proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all 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.
And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah.
13 I govori Agej, poslanik Gospodnji, narodu kao što ga posla Gospod, i reèe: ja sam s vama, govori Gospod.
And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: 'I [am] with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
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 Jehovah doth stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and do work in the house of Jehovah of Hosts their God,
15 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana šestoga mjeseca, druge godine cara Darija.
in the twenty and fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
