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 / quotesinquotes

עֲל֥וּ הָ⁠הָ֛ר וַ⁠הֲבֵאתֶ֥ם עֵ֖ץ וּ⁠בְנ֣וּ הַ⁠בָּ֑יִת וְ⁠אֶרְצֶה־בּ֥⁠וֹ ו⁠אכבד אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה

go_up the,hills and,bring tree/word and,build the,house and,take_pleasure in/on/over=him/it and,glorified he/it_had_said YHWH

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “Yes, Yahweh is telling you to go up to the mountain and bring timber and build the house, and he will take pleasure in it and he will be glorified”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הָ⁠הָ֛ר

the,hills

Yahweh is not referring to a specific mountain. He means the various mountains around the city of Jerusalem, where his temple was located. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “to the mountains”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ו⁠אכבד

and,glorified

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. See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of the concept of God being glorified. Alternate translation: “and this will glorify me” or “and in this way you will honor me”
