حَجَّي 2

١ 1 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فِي ٱلْحَادِي وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا:

In the seuenth moneth, in the one and twentieth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,

٢ 2 «كَلِّمْ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنَ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَالِيَ يَهُوذَا، وَيَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا:

Speake nowe to Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,

٣ 3 مَنِ ٱلْبَاقِي فِيكُمُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ فِي مَجْدِهِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ؟ وَكَيْفَ تَنْظُرُونَهُ ٱلْآنَ؟ أَمَا هُوَ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ كَلَا شَيْءٍ!

Who is left among you, that sawe this House in her first glory, and howe doe you see it nowe? is it not in your eyes, in comparison of it as nothing?

٤ 4 فَٱلْآنَ تَشَدَّدْ يَا زَرُبَّابِلُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَتَشَدَّدْ يَا يَهُوشَعُ بْنُ يَهُوصَادِقَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ، وَتَشَدَّدُوا يَا جَمِيعَ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَٱعْمَلُوا فَإِنِّي مَعَكُمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

Yet nowe be of good courage, O Zerubbabel, sayth the Lord, and be of good comfort, O Iehoshua, sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest: and be strong, all ye people of the land, sayth the Lord, and doe it: for I am with you, sayth the Lord of hostes,

٥ 5 حَسَبَ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدْتُكُمْ بِهِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَرُوحِي قَائِمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ. لَا تَخَافُوا.

According to the worde that I couenanted with you, when ye came out of Egypt: so my Spirite shall remaine among you, feare ye not.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هِيَ مَرَّةٌ، بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ، فَأُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَٱلْيَابِسَةَ،

For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Yet a litle while, and I will shake the heauens and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land:

٧ 7 وَأُزَلْزِلُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ. وَيَأْتِي مُشْتَهَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَأَمْلَأُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ مَجْدًا، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

And I will moue all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this House with glory, sayth the Lord of hostes.

٨ 8 لِي ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَلِي ٱلذَّهَبُ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

The siluer is mine, and the golde is mine, sayth the Lord of hostes.

٩ 9 مَجْدُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ يَكُونُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. وَفِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ أُعْطِي ٱلسَّلَامَ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

The glory of this last House shall be greater then the first, sayth the Lord of hostes: and in this place will I giue peace, sayth the Lord of hostes.

١٠ 10 فِي ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ حَجَّي ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا:

In the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, in the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto the Prophet Haggai, saying,

١١ 11 «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: اِسْأَلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ قَائِلًا:

Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Aske nowe the Priests concerning the Law, and say,

١٢ 12 إِنْ حَمَلَ إِنْسَانٌ لَحْمًا مُقَدَّسًا فِي طَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ وَمَسَّ بِطَرَفِهِ خُبْزًا أَوْ طَبِيخًا أَوْ خَمْرًا أَوْ زَيْتًا أَوْ طَعَامًا مَّا، فَهَلْ يَتَقَدَّسُ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَقَالُوا: «لَا».

If one beare holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt doe touch the bread, or the potage, or the wine, or oyle, or any meate, shall it be holy? And the Priests answered and said, No.

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ حَجَّي: «إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمُنَجَّسُ بِمَيْتٍ يَمَسُّ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ، فَهَلْ يَتَنَجَّسُ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَقَالُوا: «يَتَنَجَّسُ».

Then sayde Haggai, If a polluted person touch any of these, shall it be vncleane? And the Priests answered, and sayd, It shalbe vncleane.

١٤ 14 فَأَجَابَ حَجَّي وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ، وَهَكَذَا هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةُ قُدَّامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَهَكَذَا كُلُّ عَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا يُقَرِّبُونَهُ هُنَاكَ. هُوَ نَجِسٌ.

Then answered Haggai, and sayd, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord: and so are all the workes of their hands, and that which they offer here, is vncleane.

١٥ 15 وَٱلْآنَ فَٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ فَرَاجِعًا، قَبْلَ وَضْعِ حَجَرٍ عَلَى حَجَرٍ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And nowe, I pray you, consider in your mindes: from this day, and afore, euen afore a stone was layde vpon a stone in the Temple of the Lord:

١٦ 16 مُذْ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَأْتِي إِلَى عَرَمَةِ عِشْرِينَ فَكَانَتْ عَشَرَةً. أَتَى إِلَى حَوْضِ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةِ لِيَغْرُفَ خَمْسِينَ فُورَةً فَكَانَتْ عِشْرِينَ.

Before these things were, when one came to an heape of twentie measures, there were but ten: when one came to the wine presse for to drawe out fiftie vessels out of the presse, there were but twentie.

١٧ 17 قَدْ ضَرَبْتُكُمْ بِٱللَّفْحِ وَبِالْيَرَقَانِ وَبِالْبَرَدِ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَمَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I smote you with blasting, and with mildewe, and with haile, in all the labours of your hands: yet you turned not to me, saith the Lord.

١٨ 18 فَٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ فَصَاعِدًا، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَأَسَّسَ هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱجْعَلُوا قَلْبَكُمْ.

Consider, I pray you, in your mindes, from this day, and afore from the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, euen from the day that the foundation of the Lords Temple was laide: consider it in your mindes.

١٩ 19 هَلِ ٱلْبَذْرُ فِي ٱلْأَهْرَاءِ بَعْدُ؟ وَٱلْكَرْمُ وَٱلتِّينُ وَٱلرُّمَّانُ وَٱلزَّيْتُونُ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ بَعْدُ. فَمِنْ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ أُبَارِكُ».

Is the seede yet in the barne? as yet the vine, and the figtree, and the pomegranate, and the oliue tree hath not brought forth: from this day will I blesse you.

٢٠ 20 وَصَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ثَانِيَةً إِلَى حَجَّي، فِي ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ قَائِلًا:

And againe the worde of the Lord came vnto Haggai in the foure and twentieth day of the moneth, saying,

٢١ 21 «كَلِّمْ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَالِيَ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: إِنِّي أُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ،

Speake to Zerubbabel the prince of Iudah, and say, I wil shake the heauens and the earth,

٢٢ 22 وَأَقْلِبُ كُرْسِيَّ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، وَأُبِيدُ قُوَّةَ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأَقْلِبُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَٱلرَّاكِبِينَ فِيهَا، وَيَنْحَطُّ ٱلْخَيْلُ وَرَاكِبُوهَا، كُلٌّ مِنْهَا بِسَيْفِ أَخِيهِ.

And I will ouerthrowe the throne of kingdomes, and I wil destroy the strength of the kingdomes of the heathen, and I wil ouerthrowe the charets, and those that ride in them, and the horse and the riders shall come downe, euery one by the sword of his brother.

٢٣ 23 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، آخُذُكَ يَا زَرُبَّابِلُ عَبْدِي ٱبْنُ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ كَخَاتِمٍ، لِأَنِّي قَدِ ٱخْتَرْتُكَ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

In that day, saith the Lord of hostes, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel my seruant, the sonne of Shealtiel, sayth the Lord, and wil make thee as a signet: for I haue chosen thee, sayth the Lord of hostes.
