Haggai 2
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
2 Detta hände på tjugofjärde dagen i sjätte månaden[a] av kung Darejaveshs andra regeringsår.
Det nya templets härlighet
2 I sjunde månaden, på tjugoförsta dagen i månaden[b], kom Herrens ord genom profeten Haggai. Han sade: 3 Säg till Serubbabel, Shealtiels son, ståthållare i Juda, och till översteprästen Josua, Josadaks son, och till dem som är kvar av folket:
4 (A) Vilka är kvar bland er
som har sett detta hus
i dess forna härlighet?[c]
Hur tycker ni att det ser ut nu?
Är det inte som ingenting
i era ögon?
5 (B) Men var nu frimodig, Serubbabel,
säger Herren,
var frimodig, du överstepräst Josua,
Josadaks son,
var frimodiga,
alla ni människor i landet,
säger Herren.
Arbeta, för jag är med er,
säger Herren Sebaot.
6 (C) Det löftet gav jag er
när ni drog ut ur Egypten,
och min Ande är mitt ibland er.
Var inte rädda!
7 (D) Så säger Herren Sebaot:
Inom kort ska jag än en gång
skaka himlen och jorden,
havet och det torra.[d]
8 (E) Jag ska skaka om alla hednafolk,
och alla folkens skatter[e]
ska komma hit.
Och jag ska fylla detta hus
med härlighet,
säger Herren Sebaot.
9 Mitt är silvret och mitt är guldet,
säger Herren Sebaot.
10 (F) Den kommande härligheten
hos detta hus
ska bli större än den förra,
säger Herren Sebaot,
och på denna plats
ska jag ge frid,
säger Herren Sebaot.
Ny välsignelse
11 På tjugofjärde dagen i nionde månaden av Darejaveshs andra regeringsår[f] kom Herrens ord till profeten Haggai. Han sade:
12 Så säger Herren Sebaot: Fråga prästerna vad lagen säger: 13 ”Om någon bär heligt kött i sin mantelflik och med fliken rör vid bröd, kokt mat, vin, olja eller annan mat, blir det då heligt?” Prästerna svarade: ”Nej.” 14 (G) Sedan frågade Haggai: ”Om en som blivit oren genom en död rör vid något av allt detta, blir det då orent?”[g] Prästerna svarade: ”Ja, det blir orent.” 15 Då sade Haggai:
Så är det med detta folk,
så är det med detta hednafolk
inför mig, säger Herren,
och så är det med allt
som deras händer gör:
Det de offrar där är orent.
16 Lägg nu märke till det som sker,
från i dag och framåt!
Innan det lades sten på sten
till Herrens tempel,
hur var det då?
17 Kom man till en sädeshög
som skulle ge tjugo mått
gav den bara tio,
kom man till vinpressen
för att ösa femtio kärl
gav den bara tjugo.
18 (H) Jag slog er med sot och rost[h]
och alla era händers verk
med hagel,
och ändå vände ni er inte till mig,
säger Herren.
19 (I) Lägg märke till det som sker
från i dag och framåt,
från den tjugofjärde dagen
i nionde månaden,
från dagen då grunden lades
till Herrens tempel.
20 Finns det någon säd kvar
i kornboden?
Varken vinstocken, fikonträdet,
granatträdet eller olivträdet
har burit någon frukt än.
Men från denna dag
ska jag välsigna.”
Serubbabel – Herrens signetring
21 Herrens ord kom för andra gången till Haggai, på tjugofjärde dagen i samma månad. Han sade: 22 Säg till Serubbabel, Juda ståthållare:
Jag ska skaka himlen
och jorden.
23 Jag ska störta kungatroner
och göra hednarikenas makt
om intet.
Jag ska välta vagnar
och deras förare,
och hästar och deras ryttare
ska falla,
den ene för den andres svärd.
24 (J) På den dagen, säger Herren Sebaot, ska jag ta dig, min tjänare Serubbabel, Shealtiels son, säger Herren, och göra dig till en signetring.[i] För jag har utvalt dig, säger Herren Sebaot.

The Coming Glory of the Temple
2 (A)In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: 2 “Speak now to (B)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to (C)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 (D)‘Who is left among you who saw this house (E)in its former glory? How do you see it now? (F)Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now (G)be strong, O (H)Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. (I)Be strong, O (J)Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. (K)Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. (L)Work, for (M)I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 (N)according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. (O)My Spirit remains in your midst. (P)Fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: (Q)Yet once more, in a little while, (R)I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and (S)I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 (T)The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 (U)The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And (V)in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”
Blessings for a Defiled People
10 (W)On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, (X)in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, 11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (Y)Ask the priests about the law: 12 ‘If someone carries (Z)holy meat in the fold of his garment and touches with his fold bread or stew or wine or oil or any kind of food, does it become holy?’” The priests answered and said, (AA)“No.” 13 Then Haggai said, (AB)“If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body (AC)touches any of these, does it become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “It does become unclean.” 14 Then Haggai answered and said, (AD)“So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the Lord, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean. 15 Now then, (AE)consider from this day onward.[a] Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, 16 how did you fare? (AF)When[b] one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. 17 (AG)I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, (AH)yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 (AI)Consider from this day onward, (AJ)from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since (AK)the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, (AL)consider: 19 (AM)Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on (AN)I will bless you.”
Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet
20 The word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai (AO)on the twenty-fourth day of the month, 21 “Speak to (AP)Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, (AQ)I am about to shake the heavens and the earth, 22 and (AR)to overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and (AS)overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, (AT)every one by the sword of his brother. 23 On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O (AU)Zerubbabel (AV)my servant, the son of (AW)Shealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you (AX)like a[c] signet ring, (AY)for I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts.”

New International Version
2 1 on the twenty-first day of the seventh month,(A) the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:(B) 2 “Speak to Zerubbabel(C) son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jozadak,[a](D) the high priest, and to the remnant(E) of the people. Ask them, 3 ‘Who of you is left who saw this house(F) in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?(G) 4 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong,(H) Joshua son of Jozadak,(I) the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with(J) you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. 5 ‘This is what I covenanted(K) with you when you came out of Egypt.(L) And my Spirit(M) remains among you. Do not fear.’(N)
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while(O) I will once more shake the heavens and the earth,(P) the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired(Q) by all nations will come, and I will fill this house(R) with glory,(S)’ says the Lord Almighty. 8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold(T) is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. 9 ‘The glory(U) of this present house(V) will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,(W)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
Blessings for a Defiled People
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month,(X) in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Haggai: 11 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Ask the priests(Y) what the law says: 12 If someone carries consecrated meat(Z) in the fold of their garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, olive oil or other food, does it become consecrated?(AA)’”
The priests answered, “No.”
13 Then Haggai said, “If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?”
“Yes,” the priests replied, “it becomes defiled.(AB)”
14 Then Haggai said, “‘So it is with this people(AC) and this nation in my sight,’ declares the Lord. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer(AD) there is defiled.
15 “‘Now give careful thought(AE) to this from this day on[b]—consider how things were before one stone was laid(AF) on another in the Lord’s temple.(AG) 16 When anyone came to a heap(AH) of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat(AI) to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.(AJ) 17 I struck all the work of your hands(AK) with blight,(AL) mildew and hail,(AM) yet you did not return(AN) to me,’ declares the Lord.(AO) 18 ‘From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought(AP) to the day when the foundation(AQ) of the Lord’s temple was laid. Give careful thought: 19 Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate(AR) and the olive tree have not borne fruit.(AS)
“‘From this day on I will bless(AT) you.’”
Zerubbabel the Lord’s Signet Ring
20 The word of the Lord came to Haggai(AU) a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:(AV) 21 “Tell Zerubbabel(AW) governor of Judah that I am going to shake(AX) the heavens and the earth. 22 I will overturn(AY) royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms.(AZ) I will overthrow chariots(BA) and their drivers; horses and their riders(BB) will fall, each by the sword of his brother.(BC)
23 “‘On that day,(BD)’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant(BE) Zerubbabel(BF) son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring,(BG) for I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
