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,

¹Druge godine kralja Darija, šestoga mjeseca, prvoga dana u mjesecu, dođe riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku:

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.’”

²"Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama. Narod ovaj govori: 'Nije još došlo vrijeme da se opet sazda Dom Jahvin!'

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

³Zato je došla riječ Jahvina preko proroka Hagaja:

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

⁴A vama je vrijeme da stanujete u pokrivenim kućama, dok je ovaj Dom razvaljen.

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

⁵I zato, ovako sada govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Razmotrite svoje putove!

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.”

⁶Sijete mnogo, malo dovozite; jedete, a niste siti; pijete, a napojit' se ne možete; odijevate se, a nije vam toplo. Poslenik zarađuje plaću, a stavlja je u prodrt tobolac!"

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

⁷Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: "Razmotrite svoje putove!

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

⁸Idite na goru, dovezite drva i podignite opet Dom; bit će mi to milo i proslavit ću se" - govori Jahve.

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.

⁹"Nadaste se obilju, a gle, malo je; što dovezete kući, ja otpuhnem. A zašto?" - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. "Zato što je Dom moj razvaljen, dok se svaki od vas brine za dom svoj.

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

¹⁰Stog' je nebo uskratilo rosu, a zemlja uskratila usjeve.

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.”

¹¹Ja dozvah sušu na zemlju i gore, na žito i vino, na ulje i na sve što zemlja rađa, na ljude i stoku i na svaki trudno stečen plod."

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.

¹²A Zerubabel, sin Šealtielov, i Jošua, sin Josadakov, veliki svećenik, i sav ostali narod poslušaše glas Jahve, Boga svojega, i riječi proroka Hagaja u onome radi čega ga Jahve njima posla: i narod se poboja Jahve.

¹³Then Haggai, Yahweh’s messenger, spoke Yahweh’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says Yahweh.

¹³Tada Hagaj, glasnik Jahvin, po Jahvinu nalogu ovako reče narodu: "Ja sam s vama" - riječ je Jahvina. -

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,

¹⁴Jahve probudi duh Zerubabelu, sinu Šealtielovu, namjesniku judejskom, i duh Jošui, sinu Josadakovu, velikom svećeniku, i duh svemu ostalom narodu te oni dođoše i prionuše na posao u Domu Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga svojega.
