The Command to Rebuild the Temple

(A)In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to (B)Zerubbabel the son of (C)Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to (D)Joshua the son of (E)Jehozadak, the high priest: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” Then the word of the Lord came (F)by the hand of Haggai the prophet, (G)“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while (H)this house lies in ruins? Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: (I)Consider your ways. (J)You have sown much, and harvested little. (K)You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who (L)earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: (M)Consider your ways. Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that (N)I may take pleasure in it and that (O)I may be glorified, says the Lord. (P)You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, (Q)I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house (R)that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. 10 Therefore (S)the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And (T)I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on (U)the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and (V)on all their labors.”

The People Obey the Lord

12 (W)Then (X)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and (Y)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all (Z)the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord. 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, spoke to the people with the Lord's message, (AA)“I am with you, declares the Lord.” 14 And (AB)the Lord stirred up the spirit of (AC)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of (AD)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all (AE)the remnant of the people. And they came and (AF)worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, 15 (AG)on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

The Command to Build God’s House(A)

In (B)the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by (C)Haggai the prophet to (D)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to (E)Joshua the son of (F)Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.” ’ ”

Then the word of the Lord (G)came by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it (H)time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this [a]temple to lie in ruins?” Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: (I)“Consider your ways!

“You have (J)sown much, and bring in little;
You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink;
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And (K)he who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the (L)mountains and bring wood and build the [b]temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord. (M)You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, (N)I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore (O)the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. 11 For I (P)called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on (Q)all the labor of your hands.”

The People’s Obedience

12 (R)Then 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 the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him; and the people feared the presence of the Lord. 13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s message to the people, saying, (S)“I am with you, says the Lord.” 14 So (T)the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, (U)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; (V)and they came and worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius.

Eine Ermutigung zum Wiederaufbau des Tempels in Jerusalem (Kapitel 1–2)

Baut endlich den Tempel!

Im 2. Regierungsjahr des persischen Königs Darius, am 1. Tag des 6. Monats, empfing der Prophet Haggai vom Herrn eine Botschaft für Serubbabel und Jeschua. Serubbabel, der Sohn von Schealtiël, war der königliche Bevollmächtigte für die persische Provinz Juda, und Jeschua, der Sohn von Jozadak, war Hoherpriester.

2-3 Im Auftrag des Herrn sollte Haggai verkünden:

»So spricht der Herr, der allmächtige Gott: Dieses Volk behauptet, die Zeit sei noch nicht gekommen, den Tempel des Herrn wieder aufzubauen. Aber warum ist es für euch selbst an der Zeit, in Häusern mit getäfelten Wänden zu wohnen, während mein Haus noch in Trümmern liegt? Ich, der Herr, der allmächtige Gott, fordere euch auf: Denkt doch einmal darüber nach, wie es euch geht! Ihr habt viel Saat ausgesät, aber wenig geerntet. Ihr esst und werdet nicht satt, ihr trinkt und bleibt durstig. Was ihr anzieht, wärmt euch nicht, und das sauer verdiente Geld rinnt euch nur so durch die Finger.

Darum sage ich, der Herr, der allmächtige Gott: Begreift doch endlich, warum es euch so ergeht! Steigt hinauf ins Gebirge, schafft Holz herbei und baut den Tempel wieder auf! Daran habe ich Freude, so ehrt ihr mich, den Herrn.

Ihr habt viel erhofft, aber nur wenig bekommen. Und selbst das Wenige, das ihr nach Hause brachtet, blies ich noch fort. Warum ist das wohl so? Ich, der Herr, der allmächtige Gott, kann es euch sagen: Weil mein Tempel verwüstet daliegt und ihr nichts dagegen tut! Jeder von euch kümmert sich nur um sein eigenes Haus. 10 Darum bleibt der Himmel verschlossen, kein Tau fällt mehr auf eure Äcker, und die Erde bringt nichts hervor. 11 Ja, darum habe ich diese Dürre über euer Land kommen lassen, über die Berge und Kornfelder, über die Weingärten und Olivenhaine, über alles, was ihr abernten wolltet. Die Hungersnot hat euch und euer Vieh getroffen. Ihr plagt euch ab mit der Arbeit, aber die Mühe lohnt sich nicht.«

Ein neuer Anfang

12 Serubbabel, der Sohn von Schealtiël, sowie der Hohepriester Jeschua, der Sohn von Jozadak, und das ganze Volk nahmen sich zu Herzen, was Haggai ihnen verkündete. Sie erkannten, dass Gott den Propheten zu ihnen geschickt hatte, und bekamen große Ehrfurcht vor dem Herrn, ihrem Gott. 13 Da ließ der Herr ihnen durch seinen Boten Haggai sagen: »Ich bin bei euch! Das verspreche ich, der Herr

14-15 So sorgte Gott dafür, dass Serubbabel, der königliche Bevollmächtigte für Juda, der Hohepriester Jeschua und alle anderen aus dem Volk bereitwillig an die Arbeit gingen. Im 2. Regierungsjahr von König Darius, am 24. Tag des 6. Monats, begannen sie, den Tempel des Herrn, ihres allmächtigen Gottes, wieder aufzubauen.

A Call to Build the House of the Lord

In the second year of King Darius,(A) on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai(B) to Zerubbabel(C) son of Shealtiel, governor(D) of Judah, and to Joshua(E) son of Jozadak,[a](F) the high priest:(G)

This is what the Lord Almighty(H) says: “These people(I) say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.(J)’”

Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:(K) “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses,(L) while this house remains a ruin?(M)

Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought(N) to your ways. You have planted much, but harvested little.(O) You eat, but never have enough.(P) You drink, but never have your fill.(Q) You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages,(R) only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”

This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought(S) to your ways. Go up into the mountains and bring down timber(T) and build my house, so that I may take pleasure(U) in it and be honored,(V)” says the Lord. “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little.(W) What you brought home, I blew(X) away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin,(Y) while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld(Z) their dew(AA) and the earth its crops.(AB) 11 I called for a drought(AC) on the fields and the mountains,(AD) on the grain, the new wine,(AE) the olive oil(AF) and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.(AG)

12 Then Zerubbabel(AH) son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant(AI) of the people obeyed(AJ) the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared(AK) the Lord.

13 Then Haggai,(AL) the Lord’s messenger,(AM) gave this message of the Lord to the people: “I am with(AN) you,” declares the Lord. 14 So the Lord stirred up(AO) the spirit of Zerubbabel(AP) son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak,(AQ) the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant(AR) of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month.(AS)

The Promised Glory of the New House

In the second year of King Darius,(AT)
