< Agej 2 >
1 V sedmem mesecu, na enaindvajseti dan meseca, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
2 »Govori sedaj Zerubabélu, Šealtiélovemu sinu, voditelju Judeje in Ješúu, Jocadákovemu sinu, vélikemu duhovniku in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:
Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
3 ›Kdo je preostal med vami, ki je to hišo videl v njeni prvi slavi? In kakšno jo vidite sedaj? Mar ni to v vaših očeh v primerjavi z njo kakor nič?
Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
4 Vendar bodi sedaj močan, oh Zerubabél, ‹ govori Gospod ›in bodi močan, oh Ješúa, Jocadákov sin, véliki duhovnik in bodi močno, vse ljudstvo dežele, ‹ govori Gospod ›in delajte, kajti jaz sem z vami, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
5 Glede na besedo, s katero sem se zavezal z vami, ko ste prišli iz Egipta, tako moj duh ostaja med vami. Ne bojte se.‹
The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
6 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še enkrat, to je kratek čas in stresel bom nebo, zemljo, morje in kopno zemljo
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
7 in stresel bom vse narode in želja vseh narodov bo prišla in to hišo bom napolnil s slavo, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
8 ›Moje je srebro in moje je zlato, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 ›Slava te poslednje hiše bo večja kakor prejšnje, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki, ›in na tem kraju bom dal mir, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.«
Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Na štiriindvajseti dan devetega meseca, v drugem letu Dareja, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
11 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Vprašaj torej duhovnike glede postave, rekoč:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
12 ›Če nekdo nosi sveto meso v krajcu svoje obleke in se s krajcem svojega oblačila dotakne kruha ali juhe ali vina ali olja ali katerekoli hrane, ali bo ta postala sveta?‹« Duhovniki so odgovorili in rekli: »Ne.«
If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
13 Potem je Agej rekel: »Če se nekdo, ki je nečist s truplom, dotakne karkoli od tega ali bo to nečisto?« Duhovniki so odgovorili in rekli: »To bo nečisto.«
And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
14 Potem je Agej odgovoril in rekel: »Takšno je to ljudstvo in takšen je ta narod pred menoj, « govori Gospod, »in takšno je vsako delo njihovih rok; in to, kar tam darujejo, je nečisto.
And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
15 In sedaj vas prosim, preudarite od tega dne in naprej, od preden je bil kamen položen na kamen v Gospodovem templju.
And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
16 Odkar so bili tisti dnevi, ko je nekdo prišel h kupu dvajsetih mer, jih je bilo tam samo deset. Ko je nekdo prišel, da iz stiskalnice zajame petdeset posod, jih je bilo tam samo dvajset.
When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
17 Udaril sem vas s kvarjenjem in s plesnijo in s točo v vseh naporih vaših rok, vendar se niste obrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
18 Preudarite torej od tega dne in naprej, od štiriindvajsetega dne devetega meseca, celo od dneva, ko je bil položen temelj Gospodovega templja, preudarite to.
Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
19 Je seme še v skednju? Da, do tega trenutka trta, figovo drevo, granatno jabolko in oljka še niso obrodili. Od tega dne vas bom blagoslavljal.«
Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
20 Ponovno je prišla Gospodova beseda k Ageju, v štiriindvajsetem dnevu meseca, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
21 »Govori Zerubabélu, voditelju Juda, rekoč: ›Stresel bom nebo in zemljo
Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
22 in prevrnil bom prestol kraljestev in uničil bom moč poganskih kraljestev in prevrnil bom bojne vozove in tiste, ki se peljejo na njih, in konji in njihovi jezdeci bodo padli, vsak pod mečem svojega brata.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 Na tisti dan, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »te bom vzel, oh Zerubabél, moj služabnik, Šealtiélov sin, « govori Gospod »in te naredil kakor pečat, kajti tebe sem izbral, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
