Agej 2

1 V sedmem mesecu, na enaindvajseti dan meseca, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:

2 »Govori sedaj Zerubabélu, Šealtiélovemu sinu, voditelju Judeje in Ješúu, Jocadákovemu sinu, vélikemu duhovniku in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:

'Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant 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 former glory? and how do ye see it now? is not such a one 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 be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work; 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 ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye 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 once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, 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 shake all nations, and the choicest things 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.

Mine is the silver, and Mine the gold, 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.«

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the LORD of hosts; and in this place will I 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, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:

11 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Vprašaj torej duhovnike glede postave, rekoč:

'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests for instruction, 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 one bear hallowed flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be holy?' 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.«

Then said Haggai: 'If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?' And the priests answered and said: 'It shall be unclean.'

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.

Then answered Haggai, and said: 'So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

15 In sedaj vas prosim, preudarite od tega dne in naprej, od preden je bil kamen položen na kamen v Gospodovem templju.

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and forward — before a stone was 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.

through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw out fifty press-measures, there were but 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 smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye turned not 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.

consider, I pray you, from this day and forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it;

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 yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree hath not brought forth — from this day will I bless you.'

20 Ponovno je prišla Gospodova beseda k Ageju, v štiriindvajsetem dnevu meseca, rekoč:

And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:

21 »Govori Zerubabélu, voditelju Juda, rekoč: ›Stresel bom nebo in zemljo

'Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will shake the heavens and the 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 I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; 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, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.'
