Agej 2
1 V sedmem mesecu, na enaindvajseti dan meseca, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first [day] of the month, the Lord spoke by Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
2 »Govori sedaj Zerubabélu, Šealtiélovemu sinu, voditelju Judeje in Ješúu, Jocadákovemu sinu, vélikemu duhovniku in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:
Speak now to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and to all 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 there] of you that saw this house in her former glory? and how do you now look upon it, as it were nothing before 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 Zorobabel, says the Lord; and strengthen yourself, O Jesus the high priest, the son of Josedec; and let all the people of the land strengthen themselves, says the Lord, and work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty;
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.‹
and my Spirit remains in the midst of you; be of good courage.
6 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še enkrat, to je kratek čas in stresel bom nebo, zemljo, morje in kopno zemljo
For thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake 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 shake all nations, and the choice [portions] of all the nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty.
8 ›Moje je srebro in moje je zlato, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
Mine is the silver, and mine the gold, says the Lord Almighty.
9 ›Slava te poslednje hiše bo večja kakor prejšnje, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki, ›in na tem kraju bom dal mir, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.«
For the glory of this house shall be great, the latter more than the former, says the Lord Almighty: and in this place will I give peace, says the Lord Almighty, even peace of soul for a possession to every one that builds, to raise up this temple.
10 Na štiriindvajseti dan devetega meseca, v drugem letu Dareja, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
On the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Aggaeus the prophet, saying,
11 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Vprašaj torej duhovnike glede postave, rekoč:
Thus says the Lord Almighty; Inquire now of the priest [concerning] 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 should take holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and the skirt of his garment should touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, 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.«
And Aggaeus said, If a defiled person who is unclean by reason of a dead body, touch any of these, 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 Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whoever shall approach them, shall be defiled [because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and you have hated him that reproved in the gates].
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, I pray you, from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord, what manner of men you were.
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 cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were [only] ten measures of barley: and you went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and 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 struck you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet you returned not to me, says 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 now [to think] from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid;
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.«
consider in your hearts, whether [this] shall be known on the corn-floor, and whether yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-trees that bear no fruit [are with you]: 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 to Aggaeus the prophet, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
21 »Govori Zerubabélu, voditelju Juda, rekoč: ›Stresel bom nebo in zemljo
Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, saying, I shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
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 thrones of kings, and I will destroy the power of the kings of the nations; and I will overthrow chariots and riders; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword striving against 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, says the Lord Almighty, I will take you, O Zorobabel, the son of Salathiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will make you as a seal: for I have chosen you, says the Lord Almighty.
