Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
I Kong Darius's andet Regeringsår på den første Dag i den sjette Måned kom HERRENs Ord ved Profeten Haggaj således: Sig til Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjealtiels Søn, og til Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn:
2 Thus speaketh 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.
Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Dette Folk siger: "Endnu er det ikke Tid at bygge HERRENs Hus."
3 Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Og HERRENs Ord kom ved Profeten Haggaj således:
4 Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste?
Er det da Tid for eder at bo i Huse med træklædte Vægge, når dette Hus ligger øde?
5 Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det går eder!
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 you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
I sår meget, men bringer lidet i Hus; I spiser, men mættes ikke; I drikker, men får ikke Tørsten slukket; I klæder eder på, men bliver ikke varme; og Daglejerens Løn går i en hullet Pung.
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Læg Mærke til, hvorledes det går eder!
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, saith Jehovah.
Gå op i Bjergene, hent Tømmer og byg Templet, så jeg kan have Glæde deraf og blive æret, siger HERREN.
9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.
I venter rig Høst, men det bliver kun til lidt; og når I bringer det i Hus, blæser jeg derpå. Hvorfor? lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE. Fordi mit Hus ligger øde, medens enhver af eder har travlt med sit eget Hus.
10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
Derfor holder Himmelen sin Dug og Jorden sin Afgrøde tilbage;
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 bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.
og jeg har kaldt Tørke hid over Land og Bjerge, over Korn, Most og Olie, over alt, hvad Jorden frembringer, over Folk og Fæ, over alt, hvad Hænder virker.
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 did fear before Jehovah.
Og Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og hele Resten af Folket adlød HERREN deres Guds Røst og Profeten Haggajs Ord, eftersom HERREN havde sendt ham til dem, og Folket frygtede HERREN.
13 Then spake Haggai Jehovah’s messenger in Jehovah’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Da sagde Haggaj, HERRENs Sendebud, i HERRENs Ærinde til Folket: Jeg er med eder, lyder det fra HERREN.
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,
Og HERREN vakte Ånden i Judas Statholder Zerubbabel, Sjaltiels Søn, og i Ypperstepræsten Josua, Jozadaks Søn, og i hele Resten at Folkef, så de kom og tog fat på Arbejdet med deres Guds, Hærskarers HERREs, Hus
15 in the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth [month], in the second year of Darius the king.
på den fire og tyvende Dag i den sjette Måned i Kong Darius's andet Regeringsår.
