Haggai 1
1 In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
El año segundo del reinado de Darío, el mes sexto, el primer día del mes, vino la Palabra de Yavé a Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y a Josué, hijo del sumo sacerdote Josadac, por medio del profeta Hageo:
2 Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.
Yavé de las huestes habló: Este pueblo dice: Aún no es el tiempo de reedificar la Casa de Yavé.
3 But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Entonces vino la Palabra de Yavé por medio del profeta Hageo:
4 Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses, while this house is deserted?
¿Es tiempo para que ustedes mismos vivan en casas arregladas con paneles de madera, mientras esta Casa está desolada?
5 And now, thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
Pues Yavé de las huestes dice: Consideren bien sus procedimientos:
6 You sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with holes.
Siembran mucho y recogen poco. Comen y no se sacian. Beben, y no quedan satisfechos. Se cubren, pero no se calientan, y el que gana salario, lo echa en bolsa rota.
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
Yavé de las huestes dice: Mediten sobre sus procedimientos.
8 Ascend to the mountain, bring wood and build the house, and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, says the Lord.
Suban a la montaña, bajen madera y reedifiquen la Casa. Y Yo me complaceré en ella y seré glorificado, dice Yavé.
9 You have looked for more, and behold, it became less, and you brought it home, and I blew it away. What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts? It is because my house is desolate, yet you have hurried, each one to his own house.
Buscan mucho y hallan poco. Encierran en la casa, pero Yo lo lanzo al viento. ¿Por qué? Yavé de las huestes dice: Porque mi Casa está desolada y cada uno de ustedes corre a su propia casa.
10 Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew, and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
Por eso, por causa de ustedes, el cielo retiene la lluvia, y la tierra su cosecha.
11 And I called a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the wheat, and over the wine, and over the oil, and whatever the soil would bring forth, and over men, and over beasts of burden, and over all the labor of hands.
Llamé una sequía sobre la tierra, las montañas, el trigo, el mosto, el aceite, todo lo que produce la tierra, el hombre, el ganado y todo trabajo de tus manos.
12 And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of the Lord.
Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, Josué, hijo del sumo sacerdote Josadac, y todo el resto del pueblo obedecieron la voz de Yavé su ʼElohim por medio de las palabras del profeta Hageo, tal como Yavé, ʼElohim de ellos, les mandó. Y el pueblo mostró reverencia a Yavé.
13 And Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord, spoke to the people, saying: the Lord says, “I am with you.”
Entonces Hageo, enviado de Yavé, habló por mandato de Yavé al pueblo: Yo estoy con ustedes, dice Yavé.
14 And the Lord stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the remainder of all the people. And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
Y Yavé excitó el espíritu de Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y el espíritu de Josué, hijo del sumo sacerdote Josadac, y el espíritu del resto del pueblo. Ellos acudieron y emprendieron la obra de la Casa de Yavé de las huestes, su ʼElohim,
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius, they began.
el día 24 del mes sexto, en el segundo año del rey Darío.
