< 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 king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord through means of Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, This people have said, The time is not yet come, the time for the Lord's house to be built.
فَكَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: ٣ 3
And the word of the Lord came by means of Haggai the prophet, saying,
«هَلِ ٱلْوَقْتُ لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْكُنُوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمُ ٱلْمُغَشَّاةِ، وَهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ خَرَابٌ؟ ٤ 4
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth in ruins?
وَٱلْآنَ فَهَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ. ٥ 5
Now therefore, thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart unto 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 it doth not satisfy hunger; ye drink, but it doth not appease thirst; ye clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he that earneth something earneth it for a bag with holes.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ. ٧ 7
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Direct your heart to 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: that I may take pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith the Lord.
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
[Till now] ye looked for much, and lo, it came to be little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. For what cause? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lieth in ruins, while ye run every man unto his own house.
لِذَلِكَ مَنَعَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمُ ٱلنَّدَى، وَمَنَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا. ١٠ 10
Therefore do the heavens for your sake withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth her products.
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 over the land, and over the mountains, and over the corn, and over the new wine, and over the oil, and over what the ground bringeth forth, and over men, and over cattle, and over 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 hearkened Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were afraid of the Lord.
فَقَالَ حَجَّي رَسُولُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِرِسَالَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٣ 13
Then said Haggai the messenger of the Lord by the Lord's message unto the people saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.
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 the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, the 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 the Lord of hosts, their God.
فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٥ 15
On the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius.
