Книга пророка Аггея 1
1 Во второе лето, при Дарии цари, в шестый месяц, в первый (день) месяца, бысть слово Господне рукою Аггеа пророка глаголя: рцы к Зоровавелю Салафиилеву от колена Иудова и ко Иисусу сыну Иоседекову, иерею великому, глаголя:
[I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
2 сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель глаголя: людие сии глаголют: не прииде время создати храм Господень.
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
3 И бысть слово Господне рукою Аггеа пророка глаголя:
Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
4 аще время убо вам есть жити в домех ваших истесаных, храм же мой сей запусте?
“It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
5 И ныне сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: устройте сердца ваша в пути вашя.
[I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
6 Сеясте много, и взясте мало: ядосте, и не в сытость: писте, и не в пиянство: облекостеся, и не согрестеся в них: и собираяй мзды собра во влагалище дираво.
You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
7 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: положите сердца ваша в пути вашя,
[So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
8 взыдите на гору и усецыте древа, и принесите и созиждите храм, и благоволю в нем и прославлюся, рече Господь.
[Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
9 Призресте на многа, и быша мала, и внесосте я в храм, и отдунух я: сего ради сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: зане храм Мой есть пуст, вы же течете кийждо в дом свой,
You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
10 сего ради удержится небо от росы, и земля оскудит изношения своя,
It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
11 и наведу мечь на землю и на горы, и на пшеницу и на вино и на елей, и на вся, елика износит земля, и на человеки и на скоты и на вся труды рук их.
I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
12 И слыша Зоровавель Салафиилев от колена Иудова, и Иисус Иоседеков, иерей великий, и вси прочии людие глас Господа Бога своего и словеса Аггеа пророка, якоже посла его Господь Бог их к ним, и убояшася людие от лица Господня.
Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
13 И рече Аггей вестник Господень в вестницех Господних людем, глаголя: Аз есмь с вами, глаголет Господь.
Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
14 И воздвиже Господь дух Зоровавеля Салафиилева от колена Иудова и дух Иисуса Иоседекова, иереа великаго, и дух прочиих всех людий: и внидоша и творяху дела во храме Господа Вседержителя Бога своего.
[So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
15 В двадесять четвертый день месяца шестаго, во второе лето, при Дарии цари,
[They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
