< Haggai 1 >
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
In anno secundo Darii regis, in mense sexto, in die una mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel, ducem Iuda, et ad Iesum, filium Iosedec, sacerdotem magnum, dicens:
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
Hæc ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Populus iste dicit: Nondum venit tempus domus Domini ædificandæ.
3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens:
4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis, et domus ista deserta?
5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes.
Seminastis multum, et intulistis parum: comedistis, et non estis satiati: bibistis, et non estis inebriati: operuistis vos, et non estis calefacti: et qui mercedes congregavit, misit eas in sacculum pertusum.
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras:
8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah.
ascendite in montem, portate ligna, et ædificate domum: et acceptabilis mihi erit, et glorificabor, dicit Dominus.
9 Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to his own house.
Respexistis ad amplius, et ecce factum est minus: et intulistis in domum, et exufflavi illud: quam ob causam, dicit Dominus exercituum? quia domus mea deserta est, et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam.
10 Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt cæli ne darent rorem, et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum:
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
et vocavi siccitatem super terram, et super montes, et super triticum, et super vinum, et super oleum, et quæcumque profert humus, et super homines, et super iumenta, et super omnem laborem manuum.
12 And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people feared before Jehovah.
Et audivit Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et Iesus filius Iosedec sacerdos magnus, et omnes reliquiæ populi vocem Domini Dei sui, et verba Aggæi prophetæ, sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad eos: et timuit populus a facie Domini.
13 Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
Et dixit Aggæus nuncius Domini de nuntiis Domini, populo dicens: Ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus.
14 And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
Et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel filii Salathiel, ducis Iuda, et spiritum Iesu filii Iosedec sacerdotis magni, et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo: et ingressi sunt, et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum Dei sui:
15 in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
in die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.
