TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Spiritual Renewal in the Later Prophets

Haggai repeatedly charged his audience to reflect on how their current situation resulted from neglecting their relationship with God (Hag 1:5-7; 2:15-18). God’s chastisement in a series of natural disasters called for repentance (2:17). Haggai recognized that spiritual renewal had to accompany the physical reconstruction of the Temple (1:12).

The theme of spiritual renewal helps tie the postexilic prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi together. God had indeed brought his people back to their land, as he had promised through the earlier prophets. But the people still needed to attend to their spiritual condition, or they would face additional difficulties. The continuing prospect of failure to obey God during the postexilic period highlights the need for the appearance of the Lord’s “servant” (see Hag 2:23, initially applied to Zerubbabel but later interpreted as pointing to the Messiah). A righteous shepherd-king was coming (Zech 9:9; see also Mal 3:1). God’s presence among his people would return in a definitive way, creation would be restored, and worship of the Lord would be universal.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠עֵ֤ת לָ⁠כֶם֙ אַתֶּ֔ם לָ⁠שֶׁ֖בֶת בְּ⁠בָתֵּי⁠כֶ֣ם סְפוּנִ֑ים וְ⁠הַ⁠בַּ֥יִת הַ⁠זֶּ֖ה חָרֵֽב

?,time to/for=you_all yourselves to,dwell in/on/at/with,houses,your_all's paneled and,the,house the=this lies_in_ruins

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Now is not a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house is desolate!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

לָ⁠כֶם֙ אַתֶּ֔ם & בְּ⁠בָתֵּי⁠כֶ֣ם

to/for=you_all yourselves & in/on/at/with,houses,your_all's

As the General Introduction to Haggai discusses, here and throughout the book except for in the last verse, the words you, yourselves, and your are plural because Yahweh is addressing the returned exiles, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

סְפוּנִ֑ים

paneled

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The term paneled could describe: (1) houses whose walls are covered with panels of costly wood. Alternate translation: “in houses whose walls you have paneled with costly wood” (2) houses that have roofs. Alternate translation: “in your houses that have roofs”
