< حَجَّي 1 >

فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَالِي يَهُوذَا، وَإِلَى يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱلْوَقْتَ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ وَقْتَ بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٢ 2
Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time for us to come, the time for Jehovah's house to be built.
فَكَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: ٣ 3
Then the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
«هَلِ ٱلْوَقْتُ لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْكُنُوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمُ ٱلْمُغَشَّاةِ، وَهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ خَرَابٌ؟ ٤ 4
Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies waste?
وَٱلْآنَ فَهَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ. ٥ 5
Now therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
زَرَعْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَدَخَّلْتُمْ قَلِيلًا. تَأْكُلُونَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَى ٱلشَّبَعِ. تَشْرَبُونَ وَلَا تَرْوُونَ. تَكْتَسُونَ وَلَا تَدْفَأُونَ. وَٱلْآخِذُ أُجْرَةً يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً لِكِيسٍ مَنْقُوبٍ. ٦ 6
Ye have sown much, and bring in little. Ye eat, but ye have not enough. Ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink. Ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm. And he who earns wages earns wages to put into a bag with holes.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ. ٧ 7
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
اِصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ وَأْتُوا بِخَشَبٍ وَٱبْنُوا ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَأَرْضَى عَلَيْهِ وَأَتَمَجَّدَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٨ 8
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house. And I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says Jehovah.
ٱنْتَظَرْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَإِذَا هُوَ قَلِيلٌ. وَلَمَّا أَدْخَلْتُمُوهُ ٱلْبَيْتَ نَفَخْتُ عَلَيْهِ. لِمَاذَا؟ يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لِأَجْلِ بَيْتِي ٱلَّذِي هُوَ خَرَابٌ، وَأَنْتُمْ رَاكِضُونَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. ٩ 9
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little, and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Why? says Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lays waste while ye run each man to his own house.
لِذَلِكَ مَنَعَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمُ ٱلنَّدَى، وَمَنَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا. ١٠ 10
Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
وَدَعَوْتُ بِٱلْحَرِّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَعَلَى ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلْمِسْطَارِ وَعَلَى ٱلزَّيْتِ وَعَلَى مَا تُنْبِتُهُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَعَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَتْعَابِ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ». ١١ 11
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.
حِينَئِذٍ سَمِعَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَيَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، وَكُلُّ بَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَكَلَامَ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ كَمَا أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ. وَخَافَ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٢ 12
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him. And the people feared before Jehovah.
فَقَالَ حَجَّي رَسُولُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِرِسَالَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٣ 13
Then Haggai, Jehovah's agent, spoke in Jehovah's message to the people, saying, I am with you, says Jehovah.
وَنَبَّهَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَالِي يَهُوذَا، وَرُوحَ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، وَرُوحَ كُلِّ بَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. فَجَاءُوا وَعَمِلُوا ٱلشُّغْلَ فِي بَيْتِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِهِمْ، ١٤ 14
And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and did work on the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٥ 15
in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
