Men nå, vær sterk, Serubabel, sier Herren. Vær sterk, Josva, Jehosadaks sønn, den øverste presten. Vær sterke, alle folk i landet, sier Herren, og arbeid! For jeg er med dere, sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud.
But now, be strong, Zerubbabel—this is the declaration of the LORD. Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land—this is the declaration of the LORD. Work, for I am with you—this is the declaration of the LORD of Hosts.
