حَجَّي 1
| فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ الْمَلِكِ، فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ (أَيْ شَهْرِ آبِ – أُغُسْطُسَ)، بَعَثَ الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةِ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمِ يَهُوذَا، وَإِلَى يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, saying,
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: قَدْ قَالَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ لَمْ يَحِنْ بَعْدُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ». | ٢ 2 |
“Yahweh of hosts says this: These people say, 'It is not time for us to come or to build Yahweh's house.'”
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ حَجَّيِ قَائِلاً: | ٣ 3 |
Then the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
| «هَلْ حَانَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تُقِيمُونَ فِي بُيُوتٍ مُغَشَّاةٍ بِأَلْوَاحٍ بَيْنَمَا هَذَا الْبَيْتُ مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً؟» | ٤ 4 |
“Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses, while this house lies ruined?
| وَالآنَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٥ 5 |
So now Yahweh of hosts says this: Consider your ways!
| لَقَدْ زَرَعْتُمْ كَثِيراً وَحَصَدْتُمْ قَلِيلاً. أَكَلْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَشْبَعُوا. شَرِبْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَرْتَوُوا. اكْتَسَيْتُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْتَدْفِئُوا. وَالَّذِي يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً سَرْعَانَ مَا تَتَبَدَّدُ أُجْرَتُهُ، وَكَأَنَّهَا وُضِعَتْ فِي صُرَّةٍ مَثْقُوبَةٍ». | ٦ 6 |
You have sown much seed, but bring in little harvest; you eat but do not have enough; you drink but cannot get drunk. You wear clothes but cannot warm yourselves, and the wage earner earns money only to put it into a bag full of holes!
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «تَأَمَّلُوا فِيمَا فَعَلْتُمْ: | ٧ 7 |
Yahweh of hosts says this: “Consider your ways!
| اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَاجْلِبُوا خَشَباً وَشَيِّدُوا الْهَيْكَلَ فَأَرْضَى عَنْهُ وَأَتَمَجَّدَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ٨ 8 |
Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build my house; then I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified!—says Yahweh.”
| لَقَدْ تَوَقَّعْتُمْ كَثِيراً فَحَصَلْتُمْ عَلَى قَلِيلٍ، وَمَا أَتَيْتُمْ بِهِ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ مِنْ غَلَّةٍ نَفَخْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَبَدَّدْتُهُ. لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ؟ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَيْتِي الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُهَدَّماً بَيْنَمَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مُنْهَمِكٌ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
“You looked for much, but behold! you have brought little home, for I blew it away! Why?” declares Yahweh of hosts. “Because my house lies in ruins, while every one of you is working on his own house.
| لِذَلِكَ مَنَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقُ عَنْكُمُ النَّدَى، وَمَنَعَتِ الأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Because of this the heavens withhold the dew from you, and the earth withholds its produce.
| وَقَضَيْتُ بِالْقَحْطِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَالتِّلالِ، وَعَلَى حُقُولِ الْحِنْطَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ، وَأَشْجَارِ الزَّيْتُونِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ الأَرْضُ، وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَعَبِ أَيْدِيكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
I have summoned a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, upon the grain and upon the new wine, upon the oil and upon the harvest of the earth, upon men and upon beasts, and upon all the labor of your hands!”
| حِينَئِذٍ أَطَاعَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَيَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَسَائِرُ بَقِيَّةِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَاسْتَمَعُوا إِلَى كَلِمَاتِ حَجَّيِ النَّبِيِّ، كَمَا بَعَثَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَاعْتَرَى الْخَوْفُ الشَّعْبَ فِي مَحْضَرِ اللهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, because Yahweh their God had sent him and the people feared the face of Yahweh.
| ثُمَّ أَبْلَغَ حَجَّي رَسُولُ الرَّبِّ، الشَّعْبَ رِسَالَةَ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then Haggai, the messenger of Yahweh, spoke Yahweh's message to the people and said, “I am with you!—this is Yahweh's declaration!”
| وَبَثَّ الرَّبُّ الْهِمَّةَ فِي نَفْسِ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ حَاكِمِ يَهُوذَا وَنَفْسِ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَنُفُوسِ سَائِرِ بَقِيَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَتَوَافَدُوا وَبَاشَرُوا الْعَمَلَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they went and worked on the house of Yahweh of hosts, their God
| وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ دَارِيُّوسَ. | ١٥ 15 |
in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
