< Agej 1 >
1 V drugem letu kralja Dareja, v šestem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju k Zerubabélu, Šealtiélovemu sinu, voditelju Juda in k Ješúu, Jocadákovemu sinu, vélikemu duhovniku, rekoč:
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest, saying,
2 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, rekoč: ›To ljudstvo pravi: ›Čas ni prišel, čas, da bi bila zgrajena Gospodova hiša.‹
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: This people saith, The time is not yet come, the time that the house of Jehovah should be built.
3 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
But the word of Jehovah hath come by Haggai the prophet, saying: —
4 › Ali je čas za vas, oh vi, da prebivate v svojih obitih hišah, ta hiša pa leži zapuščena?‹
Is it, then, a time for yourselves To dwell in ceiled houses, While this house lieth waste?
5 Zdaj torej tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite svoje poti.‹
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider how it goeth with you!
6 Mnogo ste sejali, prinesli pa malo; jedli ste, toda nimate dovolj; pijete, toda niste nasičeni s pijačo; oblačite se, toda nihče ni ogret; in tisti, ki zasluži plačila, zasluži plačila, da jih daje v torbo z luknjami.‹
Ye sow much, and bring in little; Ye eat, but are not full; Ye drink, but are not satisfied; Ye clothe yourselves, but are not warmed; And he that earneth wages earneth them for a purse with holes.
7 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite svoje poti.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider how it goeth with you!
8 Pojdite gor na goro, pripeljite les, zgradite hišo in razveseljeval se bom v njej in jaz bom proslavljen, ‹ govori Gospod.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house, That I may have pleasure therein, And be glorified, saith Jehovah.
9 Precej ste iskali in glejte, postalo je malo; in ko ste to prinesli domov, sem pihnil na to. Zakaj?‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki. ›Zaradi moje hiše, ki je opustošena, vi pa tečete vsakdo za svojo lastno hišo.
Ye look for much, and lo, it cometh to little; And when ye bring it home, I blow it away; And why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house which lieth waste, While ye run every one to his own house.
10 Zatorej je nebo nad vami zadržano pred roso in zemlja je zadržana pred njenim sadom.
Therefore the heaven over you withholdeth the dew, And the earth refuseth her fruit.
11 In jaz sem poklical sušo na deželo, na gore, na žito, na novo vino, na olje in na to, kar prinašajo tla, na ljudi, na živino in na ves trud rok.‹«
And I have called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains; And upon the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; Upon that which the ground bringeth forth, And upon men, and upon cattle, And upon all the labor of the hands.
12 Potem sta Zerubabél, Šealtiélov sin in Ješúa, Jocadákov sin, véliki duhovnik, z vsem preostankom ljudstva, ubogala glas Gospoda, svojega Boga in besede preroka Ageja, kakor mu jih je poslal Gospod, njihov Bog in ljudstvo se je balo pred Gospodom.
Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest, and all the remnant of people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people feared before Jehovah.
13 Potem je spregovoril Agej, Gospodov poslanec v Gospodovi poslanici ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Jaz sem z vami, ‹ govori Gospod.
Then spake Haggai, the messenger of Jehovah, by a message from Jehovah to the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
14 In Gospod je razvnel duha Zerubabéla, Šealtiélovega sina, voditelja Judeje in duha Ješúa, Jocadákovega sina, vélikega duhovnika in duha vsega preostanka ljudstva in prišli so in delali v hiši Gospoda nad bojevniki, svojega Boga,
And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of people, so that they came and executed work upon the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
15 v štiriindvajsetem dnevu šestega meseca, v drugem letu kralja Dareja.
on the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
