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,

¹Druhého roku kráľa Dária, šiesteho mesiaca, prvého dňa toho mesiaca, stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo skrze proroka Haggea na Zorobábela, syna Šealtielovho, judského vojvodu, a na Jozuu, syna Jehocadákovho, najväčšieho kňaza, povediac:

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.’”

²Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Tento ľud hovorí: Nie je toto čas prijsť, čas, aby sa staväl dom Hospodinov.

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

³A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo skrze proroka Haggea povediac:

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

⁴Či je čas pre vás, aby ste vy bývali vo svojich vykladaných domoch, kým je tento dom pustý?

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

⁵Preto teraz takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Priložte svoje srdce ku svojim cestám!

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.”

⁶Sejete mnoho, ale snášate málo; jete, ale nemáte toľko, aby ste sa nasýtili; pijete víno, ale nemáte toľko, aby ste sa napili; obliekate sa, ale človek nemá toľko, aby sa zohrial, a ten, kto odkladá mzdu, odkladá do deravého vreca.

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

⁷Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Priložte svoje srdce ku svojim cestám!

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

⁸Iďte hore na vrch, dopravte dreva, staväjte dom, a budem mať v ňom záľubu, a budem oslávený, hovorí Hospodin.

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.

⁹Hľadíte po mnohu, a hľa, je málo, a keď to vnesiete do domu, ja to rozfúknem. Prečo? hovorí Hospodin Zástupov. Pre svoj dom, že je pustý, a vy každý bežíte do svojho domu.

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

¹⁰Preto sa pre vás zavrely nebesia, takže nedávajú rosy, a zem sa zavrela so svojou úrodou.

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.”

¹¹A zavolal som sucho na zem i na vrchy, na zbožie, na vínnu šťavu, na olej i na to, čo vydáva zem, na človeka i na hovädo i na všetku prácu rúk.

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 poslúchol Zorobábel, syn Šealtielov, i Jozua, syn Jehocadákov, najväčší kňaz, i všetok ostatok ľudu na hlas Hospodina, svojho Boha, i na slová proroka Haggea, tak ako ho poslal Hospodin, ich Bôh, a ľud sa bál tvári Hospodinovej.

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

¹³Vtedy povedal Haggeus, posol Hospodinov, v posolstve Hospodinovom ľudu a riekol: Ja som s vami, hovorí Hospodin.

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,

¹⁴A Hospodin zobudil ducha Zorobábela, syna Šealtielovho, vojvodu Júdovho, i ducha Jozuu, syna Jehocadákovho, najväčšieho kňaza, i ducha všetkého ostatku ľudu, a tak prišli a konali dielo na dome Hospodina Zástupov, svojho Boha,
