¹In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,

¹Sedmi mesec, edenindvajseti dan meseca, je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA po proroku Hagaju, in je rekel:

²Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,

²Govóri Zerubabelu, sinu Sealtielovemu, deželnemu oblastniku na Judovem, in Jozuetu, sinu Jozadakovemu, velikemu duhovniku, in ostanku ljudstva ter véli:

³Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

³Kdo je med vami ostal, ki je videl to hišo v prvi slavi njeni? in kakšno jo vidite sedaj? Ni li prav kakor nič v očeh vaših?

⁴Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

⁴Sedaj pa bodi močan, o Zerubabel, govori GOSPOD, in bodi krepak, o Jozue, sin Jozadakov, veliki duhovnik! in bodi močno, vse ljudstvo dežele, govori GOSPOD, in delajte! Kajti jaz sem z vami, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

⁵According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

⁵Beseda, ki sem se ž njo vam zavezal, ko ste šli iz Egipta, velja in duh moj ostane med vami; ne bojte se!

⁶For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

⁶Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami: Še enkrat, malo časa še, pa potresem nebo in zemljo in morje in suhoto;

⁷And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

⁷in potresem vse poganske narode, in pridejo dragocenosti vseh narodov, in to hišo napolnim s slavo, pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami.

⁸The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

⁸Moje je srebro in moje je zlato, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

⁹The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

⁹Poslednja slava te hiše bode večja nego prva, pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami; in na tem kraju dam mir, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

¹⁰In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

¹⁰Štiriindvajseti dan devetega meseca v drugem letu Darija je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA proroku Hagaju in je rekel:

¹¹Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

¹¹Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami: Vprašaj vendar duhovnike glede postave in reci:

¹²If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

¹²Glej, če kdo nese sveto meso v krilu obleke svoje, pa se dotakne s krilom kruha ali kuhane jedi ali vina ali olja ali kake druge jestvine, postane li to sveto? In duhovniki so odgovorili in rekli: Ne.

¹³Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

¹³Še reče Hagaj: Če se kdo, ki se je ognusil z mrtvecem, dotakne vsega tega, bo li ognušeno? In duhovniki odgovore, rekoč: Ognušeno bo.

¹⁴Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

¹⁴Tedaj odgovori Hagaj in reče: Takšno je to ljudstvo in ves ta narod pred mojim obličjem, govori GOSPOD, in takšno je vse delo njih rok; in kar tam darujejo, je nečisto.

¹⁵And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:

¹⁵In sedaj, pazite vendar na čas od tega dne in poprej, preden se je kamen na kamen pokladal v templju GOSPODOVEM!

¹⁶Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

¹⁶Preden se je to godilo, ko je kdo prišel h kopi žita za dvajset mer, jih je bilo le deset; ko je prišel v tlačilnico, da zajame petdeset veder, jih je bilo le dvajset.

¹⁷I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Udaril sem vas s snetjo in strupeno roso in s točo vse delo rok vaših; vendar vas ni bilo k meni, govori GOSPOD.

¹⁸Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.

¹⁸Pazite vendar na čas od tega dne in poprej, od štiriindvajsetega dne devetega meseca, namreč od dne, ko se je položila podstava templju GOSPODOVEMU, pazite na to!

¹⁹Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

¹⁹Ni li seme še v žitnici? Tako tudi trta, smokva, margarana in oljka niso še obrodile; a od tega dne bom blagoslavljal!

²⁰And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,

²⁰In beseda GOSPODOVA je prišla v drugič Hagaju, štiriindvajseti dan meseca, govoreč:

²¹Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

²¹Govóri Zerubabelu, deželnemu oblastniku na Judovem, in reci: Jaz potresem nebo in zemljo.

²²And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

²²In prevržem prestole kraljestev in uničim moč kraljestvom poganov in prevrnem bojne vozove in nje, ki se na njih peljejo; in konji in njih jezdeci padejo, drug pod mečem drugega.Tisti dan, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami, te vzamem, o Zerubabel, sin Sealtielov, služabnika svojega, govori GOSPOD, ter te naredim kakor za pečatni prstan; kajti tebe sem izvolil, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

²³In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.

²³Tisti dan, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami, te vzamem, o Zerubabel, sin Sealtielov, služabnika svojega, govori GOSPOD, ter te naredim kakor za pečatni prstan; kajti tebe sem izvolil, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.
