< حَجَّي 2 >
فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فِي ٱلْحَادِي وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
«كَلِّمْ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنَ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَالِيَ يَهُوذَا، وَيَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: | ٢ 2 |
“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,
مَنِ ٱلْبَاقِي فِيكُمُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ فِي مَجْدِهِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ؟ وَكَيْفَ تَنْظُرُونَهُ ٱلْآنَ؟ أَمَا هُوَ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ كَلَا شَيْءٍ! | ٣ 3 |
‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes as nothing?
فَٱلْآنَ تَشَدَّدْ يَا زَرُبَّابِلُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَتَشَدَّدْ يَا يَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ، وَتَشَدَّدُوا يَا جَمِيعَ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَٱعْمَلُوا فَإِنِّي مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٤ 4 |
Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says Yahweh. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says Yahweh, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
حَسَبَ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدْتُكُمْ بِهِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَرُوحِي قَائِمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ. لَا تَخَافُوا. | ٥ 5 |
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هِيَ مَرَّةٌ، بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ، فَأُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَٱلْيَابِسَةَ، | ٦ 6 |
For this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;
وَأُزَلْزِلُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ. وَيَأْتِي مُشْتَهَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَأَمْلَأُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ مَجْدًا، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٧ 7 |
and I will shake all nations. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.
لِي ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَلِي ٱلذَّهَبُ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٨ 8 |
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
مَجْدُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ يَكُونُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. وَفِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ أُعْطِي ٱلسَّلَامَ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ». | ٩ 9 |
‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”
فِي ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: | ١٠ 10 |
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: اِسْأَلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ قَائِلًا: | ١١ 11 |
“Yahweh of Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
إِنْ حَمَلَ إِنْسَانٌ لَحْمًا مُقَدَّسًا فِي طَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ وَمَسَّ بِطَرَفِهِ خُبْزًا أَوْ طَبِيخًا أَوْ خَمْرًا أَوْ زَيْتًا أَوْ طَعَامًا مَّا، فَهَلْ يَتَقَدَّسُ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَقَالُوا: «لَا». | ١٢ 12 |
‘If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” The priests answered, “No.”
فَقَالَ حَجَّي: «إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمُنَجَّسُ بِمَيْتٍ يَمَسُّ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ، فَهَلْ يَتَنَجَّسُ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَقَالُوا: «يَتَنَجَّسُ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
فَأَجَابَ حَجَّي وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ، وَهَكَذَا هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةُ قُدَّامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَهَكَذَا كُلُّ عَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا يُقَرِّبُونَهُ هُنَاكَ. هُوَ نَجِسٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says Yahweh; ‘and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
وَٱلْآنَ فَٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ فَرَاجِعًا، قَبْلَ وَضْعِ حَجَرٍ عَلَى حَجَرٍ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.
مُذْ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَأْتِي إِلَى عَرَمَةِ عِشْرِينَ فَكَانَتْ عَشَرَةً. أَتَى إِلَى حَوْضِ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةِ لِيَغْرُفَ خَمْسِينَ فُورَةً فَكَانَتْ عِشْرِينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
قَدْ ضَرَبْتُكُمْ بِٱللَّفْحِ وَبِالْيَرَقَانِ وَبِالْبَرَدِ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَمَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٧ 17 |
I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says Yahweh.
فَٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِدًا، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَأَسَّسَ هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider it.
هَلِ ٱلْبَذْرُ فِي ٱلْأَهْرَاءِ بَعْدُ؟ وَٱلْكَرْمُ وَٱلتِّينُ وَٱلرُّمَّانُ وَٱلزَّيْتُونُ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ بَعْدُ. فَمِنْ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ أُبَارِكُ». | ١٩ 19 |
Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”
وَصَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ثَانِيَةً إِلَى حَجَّي، فِي ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ قَائِلًا: | ٢٠ 20 |
Yahweh’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
«كَلِّمْ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَالِيَ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: إِنِّي أُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ، | ٢١ 21 |
“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth.
وَأَقْلِبُ كُرْسِيَّ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، وَأُبِيدُ قُوَّةَ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأَقْلِبُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَٱلرَّاكِبِينَ فِيهَا، وَيَنْحَطُّ ٱلْخَيْلُ وَرَاكِبُوهَا، كُلٌّ مِنْهَا بِسَيْفِ أَخِيهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، آخُذُكَ يَا زَرُبَّابِلُ عَبْدِي ٱبْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ كَخَاتِمٍ، لِأَنِّي قَدِ ٱخْتَرْتُكَ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
In that day, says Yahweh of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says Yahweh, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”
