< 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 of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak 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, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.
3 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda po preroku Ageju, rekoč:
Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of 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 a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
5 Zdaj torej tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite svoje poti.‹
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
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 have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, —and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with holes.
7 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Preudarite svoje poti.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
8 Pojdite gor na goro, pripeljite les, zgradite hišo in razveseljeval se bom v njej in jaz bom proslavljen, ‹ govori Gospod.
Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
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.
When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, — Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to his own house.
10 Zatorej je nebo nad vami zadržano pred roso in zemlja je zadržana pred njenim sadom.
Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back 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 drought, upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the corn and upon the new wine and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground, bringeth forth, —and upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the labour 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 hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, —and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.
13 Potem je spregovoril Agej, Gospodov poslanec v Gospodovi poslanici ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Jaz sem z vami, ‹ govori Gospod.
Then spake Haggai the messenger of Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
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,
Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, —and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts their God:
15 v štiriindvajsetem dnevu šestega meseca, v drugem letu kralja Dareja.
on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, —in the second year of Darius the king.
