< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by Haggai, the prophet, to 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 "This is what YHWH of hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for YHWH's house to be built.'"
Hæc ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Populus iste dicit: Nondum venit tempus domus Domini ædificandæ.
3 Then the word of YHWH came by Haggai, the prophet, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens:
4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis, et domus ista deserta?
5 Now therefore this is what YHWH of hosts says: Consider your ways.
Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.
6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."
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 This is what YHWH of hosts says: "Consider your ways.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras:
8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says YHWH.
ascendite in montem, portate ligna, et ædificate domum: et acceptabilis mihi erit, et glorificabor, dicit Dominus.
9 "You looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says YHWH of hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with 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 for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt cæli ne darent rorem, et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum:
11 I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, on the oil, and on all what the ground produces, and on men, and on livestock, and on all the labor 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 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of YHWH, their God, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as YHWH, their God, had sent him; and the people feared YHWH.
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 Haggai, YHWH's messenger, spoke YHWH's message to the people, saying, "I am with you," says YHWH.
Et dixit Aggæus nuncius Domini de nuntiis Domini, populo dicens: Ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus.
14 YHWH 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 on the house of YHWH 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 twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh the king.
In die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.
