TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:5 Look at what’s happening to you (literally Set your heart on these matters): For the Hebrews, the heart is the place where thinking, feeling, and willing all occur. So this command (also 1:7; 2:15, 18) calls upon the people to think carefully and draw the proper conclusions about the connection between what’s happening to them (drought and poverty, 1:6) and their failure to restore proper worship of the Lord (1:8-9).

TTNTyndale 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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠עַתָּ֕ה כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת שִׂ֥ימוּ לְבַבְ⁠כֶ֖ם עַל־דַּרְכֵי⁠כֶֽם

and=now thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels make_careful! thought_of,you_all on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ways,your_all's

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “So now Yahweh of Armies is telling you to set your heart upon your ways”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שִׂ֥ימוּ לְבַבְ⁠כֶ֖ם עַל־דַּרְכֵי⁠כֶֽם

make_careful! thought_of,you_all on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ways,your_all's

Here, the heart figuratively represents the thoughts. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Focus your thoughts on your ways” or “Consider your ways carefully”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

לְבַבְ⁠כֶ֖ם

thought_of,you_all

Since Yahweh is speaking to many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of heart. Alternate translation: “your hearts”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּרְכֵי⁠כֶֽם

ways,your_all's

Yahweh is speaking of how the returned exiles have been living as if that were a series of ways or paths that they were walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how you have been living”
