¹Kuningas Daarjavese teisel aastal, kuuenda kuu esimesel päeval tuli Issanda sõna prohvet Haggai kaudu Serubbaabelile, Sealtieli pojale, Juuda maavalitsejale, ja Joosuale, Joosadaki pojale, ülempreestrile; ta ütles:

¹In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the Word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

²'Nõnda räägib vägede Issand ja ütleb: See rahvas ütleb: Aeg ei ole veel tulnud Issanda koja ülesehitamiseks.'

²“This is what Yahweh of Armies says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for Yahweh’s house to be built.’”

³Ja prohvet Haggai kaudu tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

³Then the Word of Yahweh came by Haggai, the prophet, saying,

⁴'Ons teil endil aeg istuda oma vooderdatud kodades, kui see koda on varemeis?

⁴“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?

⁵Ja nüüd ütleb vägede Issand nõnda: Pange tähele oma teguviisi!

⁵Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways.

⁶Te külvate palju, aga saate pisut; sööte, aga kõht ei saa täis; joote, aga janu ei kao; riietute, aga ei saa sooja; ja kes teenib palgalisena, teenib katkisesse kukrusse.

⁶You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.”

⁷Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Pange tähele oma teguviisi!

⁷This is what Yahweh of Armies says: “Consider your ways.

⁸Minge mägedele, tooge puid ja ehitage koda üles, siis on mul sellest hea meel ja ma ilmutan oma auhiilgust, ütleb Issand.

⁸Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh.

⁹Te loodate palju, aga vaata, kõik väheneb; te toote koju, aga mina puhun selle ära. Mispärast? küsib vägede Issand. Minu koja pärast, sest see on varemeis, teie aga jooksete igaüks omaenese koja asjus.

⁹“You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

¹⁰Seepärast keelab taevas teile kastet ja maa oma vilja.

¹⁰Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.

¹¹Ma olen kutsunud põua maale ja mägedele, viljale, veinile ja õlile ja kõigele, mida maa toodab, ning inimestele ja loomadele, ja kogu nende kätetööle.'

¹¹I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground brings forth, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”

¹²Ja Serubbaabel, Sealtieli poeg, ja Joosua, Joosadaki poeg, ülempreester, ja kõik, kes olid rahvast alles jäänud, kuulsid Issanda, oma Jumala häält ja prohvet Haggai sõnu, nõnda nagu Issand, nende Jumal, teda läkitas, ja rahvas kartis Issandat.

¹²Then 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 Yahweh, their God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as Yahweh, their God, had sent him; and the people feared Yahweh.

¹³Ja Haggai, Issanda käskjalg, ütles Issanda ülesannet täites rahvale nõnda: 'Mina olen teiega, ütleb Issand.'

¹⁴Yahweh 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 worked on the house of Yahweh of Armies, their God,
